Just realized Entei is given out on January 17th which is Martin Luther King Day here in America where most schools and government offices are closed. Question is, will gamestop be closed? I'm assuming not because most businesses are usually open. But if it is closed, that would be one less day to obtain Entei.

Very unlikely. Check your location of choice, but businesses and particularly chains rarely if ever close unilaterally for non-religious federal holidays.

Also, they probably wouldn't have scheduled an event to begin on a day when the entire franchise's worth of locations is closed.

I finally got my Raikou saturday. And one for a friend, too!

This is likely going to sound like a silly question but perhaps someone will know. I have a friend who missed raikou for the event, but I got it on HG and P. My question is, can I send him the card for the event and will he be able to claim a raikou for himself on SS? Is there any reason to save those cards if the person who downloaded them already claimed the pokemon from it?

You mean the Wonder Card? You can't send Wonder Cards (except for the Wonder Card for the Japanese Secret Key). Your friend will have to trade for a Shiny Raikou it seems.
 
so why didn't yeah bring all your games at once?

What happened was that I forgot to bring Platinum (along with SoulSilver) with me the first time. So I went to Gamestop the next day.

I'll remember to bring it with me when I get shiny Entei today, though.

So the beasts will be distributed over WiFi in Europe, eh?
That's very convenient. I wish here in the US we didn't have to have a middle man, but meh... the milk is already spilled.

Kinda disappointed that they'll be wifi over here, it's much less fun that way. At least getting the wondercards for them will be very easy.

Screw you Europeans. Getting the Crown Beasts over Wi-Fi is better than finding a non-existent store in my area. AND you get Black and White 2 days early.

I just heard the news about the Wi-Fi distribution of these events. Personally, I'm glad that the Shiny Beasts will in fact be given out via Wi-Fi soon. I own a French copy of Platinum and a German copy of SoulSilver, so that means that I'll be able to obtain French and German Shiny Beasts. Yay. It looks like most of the important events will be given directly over Wi-Fi in Europe, and not just at specific locations like in the past.

Entei doesn't start until next week. There's a week break between beasts.

I realized that when I got there. I was trying to get it to work when I saw the in-store advertisement for it. And i'm like "Oh! it's not even the right date! Well, I'm stupid!"

There might be a problem for those people who already recieved Raikou. The problem is the method of the event. Its possible like the B/W egg event, that it'll be random, if you recieve Raikou in that case, it wont even give you the event since you already got it from Gamestop, this means you can't get any of the others as well on that game. You caould work it out if you have an extra game you can restart, but not everyone does. Someone mentioned it on BMGf yesterday.

Good thing that I got a spare SoulSilver game on me, just in case something like that happens to me. Thanks for the heads-up, Arceus-sama.

But these Shiny Beasts should have slightly different data from the GameStop Shiny Beasts, shouldn't they? The Wi-Fi Pikachu-colored Pichu and Jirachi from last year were a bit different from the GameStop Pichu and Jirachi. I believe that they had different OTs, IDs, and SIDs. If that's the case with the Wi-Fi Shiny Beasts too, then they wouldn't technically be the same as the Pokemon we received from GameStop before, and we should be allowed to download them.

A certain Pokémon Save Program shows that there is a Hidden Wonder Card Number. Chances are both Pichu events are the same number.

Chill out dudes, you can get the European Wi-Fi events on American games. If you miss the Gamestop ones, no big deal. The EU ones will likely differ only in OT.

I have not looked forward to an event this much since Arceus came out. Bring on the 7th!

I actually traded for the beasts back when they were out in Japan, because I was afraid that I would miss out on them should the event never come to Australia. So, now I will have two sets: A Japanese set, and an Australian set! Awesome!

The irony is, two of the rarest and hardest shinies to get (Raikou and Entei) have now become reasonably common. I feel sorry for shiny hunters who spent hours hunting for them, but in the same breath, I am glad I don't have to hunt them.

Guys, I got a question. Now I bought an American Platinum cartridge in Europe. Is it still possible for me to get the Shiny Beasts despite my game being American?
