Darkrai, with the moves Nightmare and Dark Void, will be given away for Japanese owners of Pokémon Black and White. This event will last from December 27, 2010 until January 11, 2011 (for Winter Break, as stated in the newsletter). This Darkrai is ONLY available from various gift stores in Japan and cannot be downloaded over Wi-Fi.

I honestly couldn't think of any better way to translate "決定" other than "decision." Anyway, unless you live in Japan, don't get excited.

That's the pits, oh well that's what I get for having a Japanese Copy in the States.

Smugleaf vs. Darkrai. The winner should be clear here.

Anyway, doesn't pertain to me at all since I don't live in Japan or have Black or White. Oh well, let's hope the US gets something nice! Let's also hope that more Wi-Fi gifts are done, because they make everything so much easier. >:V

I hope it come to US which most mystery gift do. Nightmare isn't a special move.

Yep, that Darkrai is doomed.

Interesting choice to give out Darkrai, I wonder when they'll start giving out Keruido. Also, when is America going to start getting good events? Without the Celebi and Shiny Beast events we can't even get Zoroark.

I'd like to assume near the announcement of the 13th movie.

Well, it can also be translated to mean "Determination", which is in some ways a synonym for "initiative", which could better suit the context, as it`s an initiative of sorts to distribute a special Darkrai.

Ah man...it's another one of those magazine events...

I was thinking along the lines of "Pokémon Present Chosen: The Phantom, Darkrai."

Nothing to excite me over here, as I don't live in Japan and I don't have the Japanese Black/White. However, I do hope they give out such event Pokémon over Wi-Fi in the future, otherwise I won't be able to get them.

^This. They will probably hold these events around the time of the 13th movie's release in America.
