EDIT: Event also available in Europe!

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Nintendo have officially announced that, following the successful distribution of the Member Card, an item of equal keyness,

Oak's Letter will be distributed over Wi-Fi to the Yanks living across the big pond!

Now, while no official announcement has yet been made, it's very likely that this download will also be made available across Europe, as was the case with the Member Card download. It's also only for Platinum games as well, just like last time.

This of course means you'll be able to catch the legendary Shaymin the way it was always meant to be caught - and just hope your in-game character doesn't have hayfever.

You'll be able to receive Oak's Letter between September 28th and November 8th. Make sure you've unlocked Mystery Gift though - click here for details on how to do that.

After that simply head to a PokéMart to collect your prize, and then head to Route 224 and after graffiting a white rock, marvel at the length of the Seabreak Path (you won't laugh when you have to get up it), before arriving at Shaymin's home - the aptly named Flower Paradise.

Excitingly, this Shaymin will also allow you to pick up the Gracidea from Floarama Town - which will allow you to change Shaymin into it's Sky Forme during daytime.

I think I need another lie down...

shadowdude on Tue 22 Sep 2009 16:10:53 UTC.

wow , and to think i got a movie shaymin off wifi...

Utack and Swampy on Tue 22 Sep 2009 16:45:17 UTC.

Is this event for D/P, Platinum, or both? Because the picture there looks DP, but the Gracadia flower is found only in Platinum, right?

on Tue 22 Sep 2009 16:54:21 UTC.

It says at the start it's for Platinum only...which seems stupid to me but meh...it's a way for Nintendo to make money I guess if all the Wi-fi events are for platinum

Ya-Yah on Tue 22 Sep 2009 18:02:30 UTC.

Don't want to seem ungrateful, but why are there two Shaymin events now?

on Tue 22 Sep 2009 18:33:48 UTC.

This is good,but what's the point of this if most already have already got a Shaymin?Is it for those that missed the other one and those who want to do the event?

Apprentice on Tue 22 Sep 2009 19:13:44 UTC.

Arwing, you DO know that there was never a DP-only Shaymin event, right?

ArcanineOod on Tue 22 Sep 2009 19:26:31 UTC.

Finally! Catching Shaymin the way it was meant to be... I'm so exited! Gosh, I hope it's extended to us European folk! ^_^ xX

APprentice,the movie Shaymin event was DP-exclusive. It had to be traded to Platinum.

Awkward Squirtle on Tue 22 Sep 2009 20:18:59 UTC.

salamence_rules_96 on Tue 22 Sep 2009 21:42:17 UTC.

Laprabi on Tue 22 Sep 2009 21:45:10 UTC.
