Starting March 4, GameStop stores throughout the United States will be distributing Meloetta, allowing local gamers to complete the National Pokédex legitimately. The event can be downloaded to Pokémon Black 2, White 2, Black, and White.

PHANTOMxTRAINER · #3 February 2, 2013, 04:04:20 AM

OMG YES!!!!!!!! FINALLY A DUAL EVENT!~ This is what I have been waiting for!

Fallen Trainer · #4 February 2, 2013, 10:47:29 AM

Am I the only one a bit bummed about this? I don't really like GameStop events, too inconvenient for my tastes.

Oh well, won't stop me from trudging over to one to get Meloetta I suppose.

TurtwigX · #5 February 2, 2013, 10:57:29 AM

Yes, now I'll finally have all 649 Pokémon! This is the moment I've been waiting for. Plus, I can get 3 since it's for all 5th Gen games~ And it's on the day before Wreck-It Ralph comes to DVD? This event could not be anymore perfect~<3

Am I the only one who notices that the ad misspelled meloetta?

Anyways, this makes me wish our Gamestop didn't shut down. Now I don't have a way to even do this event, unless I want to go to the next closest Gamestop...a couple hundred miles away.

zsaberslash · #7 February 6, 2013, 11:24:41 AM

The Meloetta distribution has been confirmed for Australia and New Zealand in certain stores which are listed here. The distribution will be from March 4th to April 19th 2013.

Yeah i noticed that too, but I didn't think it mattered

This event is for Pokémon games black, white, black 2, and white 2. Up until march 24th for United States and Canadian and up until April 19th for Australia, players can receive this Pokémon from local GameStops and/or EB Games.

Meloetta will be level 50 knowing the moves: Pound, Psychic, Close Combat, and Teeter Dance.

Luxray13579 · #10 February 25, 2013, 06:42:08 PM

The event begins for Canadians on March 9th (so don't freak out if EBGames/Gamestop doesn't have it on the 7th or something), though I understand it will begin around March 4th for Americans. I wasn't able to locate a start date for Australia though, so I suggest just making it over there before the end date.

Twiggy · #11 February 26, 2013, 12:24:06 AM

Quite unfortunate that I live nowhere close to any of these places, huh? Sometimes I wish I could have all the events and keep them to myself

Just have to keep my hopes up for the possible eventual Wi-Fi event. ~~or someone with at least two eligible games~~

Can I use my phone wifi hotspot to get this?

Magmaster12 · #14 March 1, 2013, 06:02:52 AM

I went to Gamestop yesterday and I was told they weren't doing the event until next week for some reason.

First things first: I'm assuming that your phone is capable of and allowed by the carrier to tether. With that said...

Yes, if you're configured your Nintendo DS/3DS to use it beforehand. (Keep in mind that you might have to change the hotspot to use WEP if available if you do not have a DSi or newer model, or be forced to have the hotspot be open (do it ASAP if that is the case).

This isn't a wi-fi event.

James' initial post neglected to mention that it started on the 4th.

Whoops. That's what I get for reading only a single post.

You'll have to be physically there.

It's a 3DS. I'm not exactly good with DS Internet though. I wasn't referring to the Gamestop event, I meant the other Meleotta one. Unless I'm mixed up somehow

You shouldn't need to worry about hot spots at all. Seeing as this isn't a WFC event, you should be able to head to the store, and use Mystery Gift. If in doubt, ask the store staff. (There should be an option to receive gifts within the same menu, which lets you to choose the method. In this case you want local wireless (NOT NWFC))

Yeah, I think you're mixed up. The only Meloetta event I've heard of was through Gamestop. But getting it that way shouldn't be a problem, it's just selecting the "Through Local" button in Mystery Gift.

Cat333Pokémon · #22 March 7, 2013, 07:54:57 PM

I picked up my three Meloetta, one for each Black 2, White 2, and White.

Same here, now I just need a Deoxys.

DiamondEdge · #24 March 8, 2013, 04:26:00 PM

I got myself four Meloetta, for both Black and B2, and White and W2. I'll transfer the Black-game's Meloetta's after I finish the file they're on.

TurtwigX · #25 March 16, 2013, 06:46:05 PM

I finally picked up all 3 of my Meloettas, and another for a friend. This means... oh my God... I FINALLY HAVE ALL 649 POKéMON! I CAUGHT THEM ALL! EAT IT, ASH! This is a huge accomplishment, I deserve cake.

john-li · #26 March 16, 2013, 06:54:01 PM

Better run to the store and download it

PureAurorae · #27 March 22, 2013, 10:27:18 AM

People from Europe, the event is now live. The event runs in GAME stores in the United Kingdom and Toys R' Us in Germany (and other stores for the other European countries). It will end on April 19th.

PHANTOMxTRAINER · #28 April 1, 2013, 05:16:43 AM

crap. I just realized I missed this... Well, there goes my hopes of building my UU team
