BELLEVUE, WA-April 14, 2011-The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo are giving Pokémon™ fans the chance to receive a Secret Egg in their video game like the one Ash gets in an episode of the hit animated TV series Pokémon: Black & White this spring on Cartoon Network. The Secret Egg distribution will take place from Wednesday, April 27th through Tuesday, May 31st at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide. Once the Secret Egg is downloaded, players of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video games can hatch one of three secret Pokémon from the Secret Egg and raise it for battle!
Like Ash, players must properly care for their Secret Egg, nurturing it until it hatches to reveal one of three playable Pokémon for Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version, available now for systems in the Nintendo DS™ family. Then, like Ash, each player must train the newly hatched Pokémon so it's battle-ready.
Additionally, after receiving their Secret Egg distribution at a Toys"R"Us store, Pokémon fans can purchase a specially marked Pokémon Trading Card Game: Black & White 2-pack booster with one of three secret Pokémon promo cards inside-the same three Pokémon players may receive when hatching their Secret Egg in the video games.
Celebrate the brand-new Pokémon video games, Pokémon TCG expansion, and toys based on the new Unova region by visiting the special Pokémon Feature Shop only at Toys"R"Us locations across the country.
