EVENT!!!

[Kamaran]

Now that I think about it... how do you get the Pikachu colored Pichu?

The Pikachu coloured Pichu was a wifi-event a month or two back. It is currently no longer obtainable unless traded.

If you send the special coloured Pichu to either your HeartGold or Soulsilver and take it to Celebi's shrine in Ilex Forest you'll encounter the catchable spiky-eared Pichu.

go I read the event thing but I can't quite remember how... Personally I'd rather do it myself, but if I can't then I guess I'll have to breed my Bulbasaur... but I have Soulsilver and not Platinum...

What is that about? Bulbasaur?

[Amphi]

why cant we be given good events for once ...

[LeoReborn]

You have to bring your DS to a gamestop store and achieve your mystery gift. This can only be done in the U.S.A.

People from Europe and even Canada will not be able to do so.

No, not really. if you have Wi-fi at home it works fine.... If you need Event updates, for D/P/Pt/HG/SS, check pokemon.com, go to news, then Game news, you will see a list of events.

It will say otherwise how to obtain event gifts, but ONLY if you can get it through NFC Mystery gift.

There IS a good event soon...

Ive checked serebii.net, and they say a Mew event is coming soon. No stipulations, just get on NFC, Mystery Gift,

I dont have an approximite date yet, but I will keep you guys updated.  THIS IS HG/SS ONLY.

[DarK_SouL]

Yea Unbreakable is right I go to both those sites to get event updates, I usually post everytime there is a new event coming up.

I heard there was something about the MAC address I have to set... and I can't seem to make head or tail of what I need to do. Anyone has the complete 'instructions' (from the very start, like as if you just got your Nintendo DS) of how to get on WFC? I only once got in through a free non-secured connection, but I'll no more be able to get there, not soon that is (airport).

Jerry, The MAC address, you don't Need that. Try getting closer to the access point (Router) if you can.

If you are using an unlocked connection, (Blue padlock) you should just be able to connect, w/o adjusting settings.

If not, there are 3 main types of security: WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
DS connectivity only works with WEP, (RED Lock) and the way DS bypasses it is by entering the long WEP code, if you cant get the code, just forget that access point.

Any Questions, Jerry?
If I cant explain something, ask a PU team Member, They most likely know more about networking than I do.

[Jerry]

Yes, I have made the input of the WEP key. The only problem arises when I test the connection, it always fails.

I guess I'll try again when I'll get to my friend's place...

Well, there are ways to increase connectivity.
1: being near the access point isnt always enough, Try pointing the back of the DS directly to the router.
2: Once you find a solid connection, Keep Still.
3: If you can monitor the connection settings of the router, the IP Address, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, Gateway, and Subnet Mask, Enter them exactly into the Settings.
Except, the IP, take the IP's last digit, add 1.

Other than that, Try getting as close as possible

Anyone, correct me if I posted any incorrect info.

Let me know if that works.

[Jerry]

I did try inputting manually these codes, and I can't get any closer to the router... the DS can touch it!

The only problem I got in the parameters is the Gateway and Subnet Mask, I'm not sure where to find it

The IP, I think for most people it's : 192.168.1.10 ?

Ok, Try setting everything to auto-obtain, Even the IP.

WEP key, leave that as is.

[Jerry]

I tried the auto obtain button the first time and I got that error. Anyway, like I said, I can't try again until I'm at my friend's place.

[LeoReborn]

Ok, Im glad I could at least try....
