The first WiFi event in Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver allows you a new zone to walk through on your PokeWalker pedometer. You can stroll through Yellow Forest filled with Pikachu.

"Many PIKACHU live in harmony in this forest. Walk through here frequently, and try to find one!"

The Pikachus found here are holding berries and range in level from 10-15. Apparently the level 15 pikachus have the attacks Fly, Thunder, Growl and Tail Whip. Level 14 know Surf.

There are also items you can get, such as:

Light Bell
ThunderStone
Miracle Seed
Big Root
Aspear Berry
Rawst Berry
Pecha Berry
Chesto Berry
Cherri Berry
Big Mushroom

You can download the event at Toys R Us locations in the US and Europe. Choose wisely, for you can only receive 3 mystery gifts per game.

The next WiFi event is the 10th Anniversary Mew, and the release dates have yet to be announced.

After that, the third event gives you the item Enigma Stone which allows you access to Latias and Latios when you take the item to Pewter City Museum.

In a stunning exchange of money for copyrights yesterday, Gamefreak, the Pokemon Company, Nintendo, and 4Kids entertainment sold all Pokemon copyrights to entertainment giant Warnerbros Inc. The exchange has been ground-breaking in Japan, and hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Gamefreak building as the final document was signed. Police were sent in to break up the crowd, and Barry M. Meyer, chairman of Warner Bros, stepped out of the building. He was met with boos as he walked to his limousine, but soon found peace in the airport.

"The first thing we are planning to do is stop making the games," said Meyer, "There is not enough profits in their productions. Instead, we're going to start making a real, live Pokemon movie. I have just gotten a call from our studios now that our developers have already begun creating the 'real life Pokemon.'"

Many Pokemon players around the world are not happy about this. A demonstration outside of Warner Bros. headquarters this morning amassed approximately 1000 individuals from around L.A. and area.

"It's not fair to the gamers," said Will Hayder, a demonstration leader, "I mean, wasn't Nintendo already producing another generation [of Pokemon]? This is very sudden."

TIM, a host of popular Japanese TV show Pokemon Sunday, was also stunned at the exchange, "I have heard behind-the-scene talks about this kind of thing, but I never expected it to happen. We are going to have to cancel the show."

Warner Bros. has already begun production of the movie, with a production time estimate of 2-3 years. "The CGI will be amazing," assures Meyers, "This will definitely be like Avatar."

It's been nearly ten years since the release of Pokemon Gold and Silver, my favorite Pokemon games so far. Ten years later, Pokemon is as popular as ever. Today is the US release date of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, remakes of those amazing games. As always, Pokemon Dream will offer a fantastic walkthrough, which I will begin working on in about a week. For now, if you would like to contribute Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver content for Pokemon Dream, please drop me an email at weicool@gmail.com. Thanks!

I've set up our new Pokemon Platinum section! Thanks to two generous game guide writers, we already have a Legendaries Guide and EV Training Hotspot Guide for Pokemon Platinum. I'm currently working on covering Platinum details to complete our Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum Walkthrough. Stay tuned for more great stuff coming this summer!

In an exclusive press release earlier this morning, Nintendo announced that while testing Pokemon Platinum they had, in fact, discovered a glitch in which one could obtain a level 100 Shaymin through a few simple tests. Instead of getting rid of it, NoA decided to keep it as an Easter Egg.

The steps, they say, are simple:

1. Pick Chimchar as your starter
2. Give your Chimchar ro its evolutions a potion to hold
3. Follow the same process to get Spiritomb, except meet 50 people Underground
4. A level 100 Shaymin will appear instead of a Spiritomb

Press Release: For the first time, a special version of the powerful Pokemon Regigigas will be available for distribution to Pokemon fans at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide. From Sunday, March 8, through Saturday, March 21, Pokemon USA, Inc., and Nintendo of America Inc., will offer players the opportunity to obtain this Level 100 character. During that time, Pokemon fans who bring their Pokemon Diamond Version or Pokemon Pearl Version Game Card (each sold separately), along with their Nintendo DS system, to any Toys"R"Us store in the United States and Puerto Rico will have a chance to add the exceptionally powerful Level 100 Regigigas to their Pokedex.

So sad. I never partially liked her voice as Meowth, but I still feel sad that we'll never hear her voice again.

As a side note, she was the voices of: Meowth (after Nathan Price), Corphish, Torkoal and Farfetch'd (Seasons 1-8), Lieutenant Surge, and Additional Voices.

RIP
