Title: Special Edition Pikachu Available for DS Download at Toys "R" Us
Post by: NWR_Josh on February 02, 2011, 03:26:39 PM

Get Ash's Pikachu to travel around with YOU. 

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/25036

For a limited time, Ash’s Pikachu is ready for download in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver at local Toys "R" Us retailers.

The store announced that today through February 13 people with the requisite Pokémon games can go to their nearest Toys "R" Us to download the very special Pikachu, who will have moves including Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, and Volt Tackle.

The Pokémon's availability is part of the advertising campaign for the new Pokémon TV show, which follows Ash and Pikachu into the Unova region. The region is the setting for Pokémon Black and White, which heads to DS in North America on March 6.

I'm guessing you don't get the plot armor and power Ash's Pikachu has.

Step 1: Shove a Thunderstone in its face.
Step 2: Uh...
Step 3: ... that's it.

Does it come with the obscene attack power that Ash's Pikachu has? Oh well, I might check it out if I have the time.

Josh is new blood...I mean fresh meat...I mean he's the new guy. Welcome him with open arms, you heathens!

Anyway. I got myself Ash's Pikachu tonight. He comes in at Lv. 50 with all the attacks listed about and a Light Ball (I forget what that does). His stats don't seem particularly high, though.

The Light Ball doubles both of Pikachu's attack stats and basically provides justification for the rat being a gamebreaker in the anime.
