It looks like an Arceus event may be coming up! and this time it's confirmed for all three Pokemon games: Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum! Stay tuned for more information as it drops, and we can give you instructions on how to catch this Event-Only Pokemon!

The Pokemon Arceus has been discovered! Little is known about the Normal-type Pokemon, but it's been confirmed that the rare Pokemon is number 493 in the National Pokedex. And what other mysteries surround this pokemon?

Areceus is headint to Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl, and Pokemon Platinum Version games, but like Shaymin and Darkrai, Arceus is a Pokemon that won't appear during normal gameplay. We'll have more details soon on how you can get Arceus into your game.

In addition to Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Pearl, and Pokemon Platinum Version, Arceus will make an appearance in the next Pokemon movie, as well as in a future Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion!

Serebii.net reports that the special colored Pichu, given away during 12th movie event, from June 19th to July 18th (which I believe is Japan only), when transferred to Heart Gold and Soul Silver from Diamond and Pearl, and then brought to the Ilex Forest, brings about a special "Notched Ear" Pichu!

This rises speculation on to other special Pokemon - are they all going to be events like this? WILL there be more? Will Celebi no longer appear at this shrine? What say you?

Nintendo of Japan reports the first downloadable content for Animal Crossing: Wii. Right now the dates listed are for Japanese players only but at least the news lets us know what the content should be when its available to the rest of the world!

Currently in Japan through DEC 31st you can get the Pikmin headgear. Unknown if its only red or if its random colors, or choice, but you can see it in the image to the right. Starting January 1st and ending on the 15th a toy-top is available. So be looking forward to these, or if you have a friend in Japan, ask if you can trade/buy it from them!

Nintendo has already stated that ALL Downloadable Content for AC:Wii will be free (as in real money, they may actually cost bells in Nooks sometimes). Make sure in your Wii settings you have WiiConnect24 set to "ON" and then in the game make sure (using the phone in your room) you let Rover know that you always want the Connect24 to be "ON" too. I think these two items enter your game through balloons floating through the air, so make sure you have a slingshot. The ONE time I left my slingshot in the house is when the Golden Slingshot was drifting above me

- Thanks to moderator Jayvee for the text message on where to find this info!

XOC, if you don't love him yet, you will soon! I like bringing you guys music, last time it was Metroid Metal, and before that Jayvee brought you guys some Zelda Reorchestrations. Today I bring you one dude playing a bunch of different instruments to do the most complete covers ever known to man: Super Mario World. Besides the fact that he covered every song down to the P-Switch in this album, and made sure that Chocolate Plains sounded different then the regular overworld is boss! Oh and he didn't just cover the music in some old traditional way either, you can really feel this guys difference in how he plays, its terrific - the BEST SMW cover ever, and that means alot coming from me, as it's my favorite game of all time! Go Here to check out the track listing where you can download FOR FREE each one individually, with permission from the artist himself. If you want to go all out and download the expanded GOLDINUM edition .RAR file, right click here and "save target as" to wherever you want in your computer. This ExpEdition is new to me, and a limited edition, I downloaded the regular album a while ago and just found out about "goldinum" just now, I can't wait to listen!

Oh and he has a super limited OFFICIAL release album out right now that you may wanna buy. The price is $6 US and $8 for the rest of the planet, NOT a bad deal at all, I just ordered one, who knows how many are left, there are only 100 made. Here's the link and description:

xoc has participated in other Concatenation compilations, but this is his first solo release for the label (and for Good-Evil Records), and it's quite the endeavor. xoc has spent the last three and a half years working on a medley that consists of 100 short themes from video games which spans 18 minutes and 22 seconds.

Since the length is under 24 minutes, xoc decided to have this release printed up on 3" CDs.

This is just a final reminder that this weekend is your last forseeable chance to get that legitimate Deoxys you always wanted! Deoxys arrives from space in a Cherish Ball holding Never Melt Ice. He will arrive in any one of his forms, I got neutral when i recieved the mystery gift last weekend. But don't worry, if you like any of his other forms you can change them in the game by taking him to Veilstone City and interacting with the meteorites in the east part of town.

To get Deoxys got to any local U.S. Gamestop with your DS and Diamond and/or Pearl. Make sure you have the National Dex. When you go into the Gamestop turn the DS on, and at the menu screen before you load your save file there should be "Mystery Gift" even if you never unlocked this, it automatically shows up . Then select "Via Wireless" and your gift from space should download into your game! After you load up your game deposit one of your six pokemon in a computer (if you are full up), and then go to the nearest shop where you can talk to a delivery man who gives you Deoxys, then save!

Darkrai, If you havent already got him through CHEATING or using a glitch in V.1 of the Japanese game, or by getting him as a trade over Pokemon GTC (most likely originaly obtained by cheating) - Will officially be available in North America at Toys"R"Us store between 12:noon - 4:PM on May,31 - June,1.

Make sure you have Diamond and or Pearl, one open spot on your belt and have completed the elite 4. This is a mystery gift event, and will not unlock the Island. He will also not be able to be traded over WiFi. Darkrai is only legitimately available through Nintendo promotions like this one, and can not normally be found in the game. Chances are this is the only event to give him away.

N+ Update: Darkrai Info

Item: Enigma Berry
Level: 50
EXP: 156250
Ball: Cherish Ball
(thanks Ace for the official ball name)

Also, does anyone happen to have a Legitimate Deoxys? He's the only event-only pokemon I don't have so far!
