Press Release (Translated)

Are you a Pokémon fan?

After the designation of the winner and Mario's most loyal friend via the "Are you a Super Mario fan?" contest of www.nintendo.gr and on the occasion of the release of Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, www.nintendo.gr is organizing a unique contest for the community of Pokémon friends in Greece, rewarding them with a special and rare gift.

Are you a Pokémon fan? Have you experienced countless adventures, hours of battling, joy and fun trying to collect as many and strong Pokémon as possible? Have you traveled to magical places, fought endless battles and traded with your friends trying to get the largest Pokémon collection?

The three most ardent Pokémon friends will win the mythical Pokémon Keldeo first.

How can you prove that you're a fan of the Pokémon series and that you deserve the aforementioned gift?

It's simple.

Step number one: Take a picture of yourself, together with all the Pokémon video games that you have in your possession.

Step number two: List the Pokémon games that appear in your picture.

Step number three: Send the picture together with your list to [email protected] in an e-mail with "Pokémon fan" as the title.

The three Nintendo friends that send the largest list of games until the 30th of September will see their pictures on the www.nintendo.gr main page and will win the mythical Pokémon Keldeo.

The list may only include games that Pokémon star in or mention "Pokémon" in their title, as well as items that are Pokémon-related (e.g. plush toys, shirts, keychains, etc.) The games and items that are listed must be included in the picture as well in order for them to count.

Only permanent residents of Greece may take part in this competition and a user account on www.nintendo.gr is required.

For any questions or comments, you can post on the related forum thread on www.nintendo.gr by clicking here.

The three winning Pokémon fans will be able to obtain the new mythical Pokémon Keldeo on Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version.

This colourful, incredibly powerful Fighting- and Water-type Pokémon cannot be caught during normal gameplay except via its distribution as the prize of this competition or its distribution during the exclusive events that will follow for a limited time only. Players who receive the Original [sic] Form Keldeo in their game can then transfer it to the Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2 games, that will be released on the 12th of October. In the new games, players will be able to play out a scenario that not only transforms Keldeo into a new form but also teaches it its signature move!

After the announcement of the results, the three winners, in order to obtain the Original [sic] Form Keldeo, must:
  • Send us a European copy of the Pokémon Black or Pokémon White games
  • Have obtained the Pokédex in their game
  • Have no more than 11 Wonder Cards in their possession

KeldeoThe official Pokémon site has revealed the mythical Pokémon Keldeo and has updated with information on its distribution. This Keldeo is identical to the one given out to Japanese players of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and will be distributed in-store in America and Europe to players of Pokémon Black and White. More specifically:

  • In the United States, Keldeo will be distributed in GameStop stores from August 27th to October 6th.

  • In the United Kingdom, Keldeo will be distributed in Game and Gamestation stores from September 1st to October 11th.

  • In France, Germany and Spain Keldeo will be distributed in participating stores from September 1st to October 11th.

  • In Italy, Keldeo will be distributed in GameStop stores from September 1st to October 11th.

When Keldeo is transferred to Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and players visit a field close to Floccesy Town with this Pokémon in their party, Keldeo will be able to learn its signature move, Secret Sword. This will enable it to change from its Ordinary to its Resolute Form, thus gaining a new appearance. If the move is deleted or Keldeo is transferred back to Pokémon Black and White, it will revert to its Ordinary Form.

DISCOVER THE NEW MYTHICAL POKÉMON KELDEO - Limited-Time Distribution of the Colt Pokémon Keldeo at GameStop Stores Nationwide

BELLEVUE, WA-August 20th, 2012-Beginning August 27th at GameStop stores nationwide, Pokémon fans can receive the newly discovered Mythical Pokemon Keldeo in their copies of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version. This colorful, incredibly powerful Fighting- and Water-type Pokémon cannot be caught during normal gameplay, and this GameStop distribution is only for a limited time. Once players receive the Original Form Keldeo in their game, it can be transferred into the new Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2 games, arriving in stores on October 7th. In the new games, players will be able to play out a cool scenario that not only transforms Keldeo into a new form but also teaches it its signature move!

Because the Colt Pokémon cannot be found during normal gameplay, this distribution is the only way Pokémon players can receive it at this time. During the distribution period, August 27th through October 6th, Pokémon fans can bring their Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo DS system and a copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version to GameStop and receive a Keldeo that knows Aqua Jet, Leer, Double Kick, and BubbleBeam. As a Fighting- and Water-type Pokémon, Keldeo excels at moves that are super effective against seven different Pokémon types: Normal, Fire, Ice, Ground, Rock, Dark, and Steel.

Powerful in its own right, when transferred into Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2, Keldeo will learn its signature move, Secret Sword, and transform into Resolute Form, a new look that features a more prominent horn on its head. Secret Sword is a Fighting-type move, well suited to Keldeo's high Special Attack stat. And, because Keldeo can learn this move from the very first stages of Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2, it will be a powerful ally as you continue your adventure.
