So you want to be a Pokemon Master?
In the two weeks running up to the launch of Pokémon Heart Gold & Soul Silver, GAME will be hosting events in selected stores.
You'll be the first to play Heart Gold & Soul Silver, meet other Pokémon fans to trade, collect and battle to determine who is the best trainer. And if that weren't enough there'll be face painting and balloon modelling in selected stores and a Pokémon expert to give you hints and tips - who knows he may accept a challenge or two!
Best is yet to come! You'll have the chance to download the Mighty Arceus to your copy of Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl & Pokémon Platinum! Don't forget to bring your DS lite, DSi or DSi XL with you.

Is it just me or does these events NEVER go to where you are!
Come to Aberdeen Nintendo! What's with the mega bold (out of subject but w/e.) Yay im gonna go to craigavon on the 14th AWESOMEEEEEEE
I've been waiting for this event for a long time now i started training thinking their would be a event soon but it never came so i stopped training but now look i gotta start some special training for the event. Anyone attending the Swansea event? I'll be there! MAN!!!
its always in the wrong place
why dont they make one in colorado
SIGH!!! I hope there's more locations yet to be announced as this seems hardly fair. During last year's Shaymin event there were far more locations for an, arguably, less sought after Pokemon. Sheesh. And no, I'm not bitter just because the nearest place is Newcastle/Gateshead. =P why is there never one in banbury/oxford see its at times like theese i wish i could teleport *sigh* would wi fi AND game events not be more effective?!?! Hahahaha Well I could go to 2 ;) Eldon Square and Metro Centre here a come ;) I notice there's no mention of the wi-fi shiny Pichu event that's on right now. YAY!
I'li be in the one ot brighton. Anyone else peeved at the fact the Reading event is on the same day as the Reading Half Marathon, meaning it'll be busy, crowded and the roads in Reading town centre will be closed?
Daaaaaarn. Ugh why the frick do they NEVER have it in my county >_<!! Who's going to the brighton event? Me~ Yeah this looks great
However everyone should be aware of the wifi distribution of the pikachu colored pichu thats a=happening now May consider Kington event if I can be arsed... =p Kingston* Hey my name is not on there I posted it on the fourm.
