Shaymin Coming to Toys’R'Us in February 2009

January 22, 2009

Toys’R'Us has a new Pokemon download coming in February: Shaymin!

Yes, you heard me correctly. The mega toy retailer will be hosting a Pokemon download event between the dates of February 8th and the 14th.

Up until now Shaymin has been impossible to acquire in the US without cheating or trading for a Japanese one. This is not an item download but a download for the Pokemon itself.

    As per usual you will need to have:

  • Room for the wonder card (can’t have more than three)
  • An English version of Diamond or Pearl and a DS
  • Have obtained the Pokedex

Remember, you can only get one Shaymin per game chip. You can, however, trade the Shaymin to another game and restart your game thus allowing you to get as many Shaymin as you can want if you are willing to grind through the intro part of the game over and over again.

Oh, thank goodness! I thought I’d missed it at first. I made it to the Manaphy and Darkrai events, and it looks like I will be able to get Shaymin now as well. Yay! :D My husband is so going to make fun of me, but I don’t even care.

Option 1: I’m going on that Facebook event and complain! It’s time they extend across the border to Canada and make it a North American event!

Option 2: Drive 3hrs each way to the Toysrus across the border

Option 3: Beg, beg, beg for all you Americans to get an extra Shaymin for your fine northern neighbours!!
