In addition to the Pikachu download announcement from earlier this week, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced yesterday that they will be giving away a special download gift to early buyers of the soon-to-be-released Pokémon Black and White Versions. Anybody who buys one of the two versions of the game between their March 6th release date and April 10th will receive a special Liberty Pass via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (which means you’ll need to log in online to claim it first), that will allow them to catch a mythical Pokémon called Victini (“the Victory Pokémon”).
Victini is apparently the first Pokémon that’s Psychic and Fire type and, most important to this announcement, can’t be obtained through normal gameplay. In other words, if you’re a parent of a child who is an extreme Pokémon fan, I feel very sorry for you right now. Let’s see, what else? Victini can create an unlimited supply that it can share with others. This Victory Star ability increases both Victiny’s accuracy in battle, as well as the accuracy of your other Pokémon. Pokémon Black and White Versions will be available for $34.95 each. Meanwhile, the Pokémon Black and White American mall tour launches tomorrow.
