There's your Reading, JimLad!
It's a good job I'm not that into Pokémon, because none of the events are anywhere near me.
yh, bedford never thought that a pokemin event would get out here.
That picture's from Serebii.net. I assume you've got permission to use it, but careful if not - the webmaster there is really twitchy about other sites using his stuff.
@Raylax
Serebii.net block there site from being copyed but, you can take a web shot pic of it, works just fine.
Going to Liverpool tomorrow.
Great, when does the US get it?
There's none of these in the North East of Scotland, the closest one to me requires travelling on train for several hours and the events are in less than a week, why didn't they announce them sooner? If they can't distribute them better, it should just be done through wi-fi.
@6 US is from the Feb 21st to March 6th? At least it is in Canada at Gamestop so I imagine the dates are probably the same for the US.
I think there's booths you can get it at as well with the B&W tour but I've only looked into the Canadian areas that they are doing that.
For Canada they're only going to Vancouver and Toronto.... so most Canadians will be going to Gamestop.
And there's none in Ireland. Great. Thanks a lot, Nintendo

you mean no Oshawa? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lol cant spend 15 or so bucks just to take a hour train ride into toronto and search for a gamestop store i have no idea where it is around there errr that action replay is looking mighty good right now for these impossible event ones
I got me five Celebi! One for each DS game. If you take it to Ilex Forest, it triggers an event, too!
Its OT is "WIN2011" in red text, ID no. 01211.
Celebi is Level 50, has Leaf Storm, Recover, Nasty Plot and Healing Wish.
It comes in a Cherish Ball, has a Classic Ribbon and is holding a Jaboca Berry.
But most importantly, it filled a gaping hole in my Pearl's pokédex. Hooray for event legendaries!
I got three Celebi today.
Soon to be in Australia?
I'll probably head to the Glasgow event though annoyingly Glasgow Fort isn't even in an easy to reach part of the city
So will we, at gamestop!
Usually the OT has the name of the store like "GAMESTP"
What the heck is WIN2011????
