RESHIRAM AND ZEKROM GET STAR TREATMENT AS
SPECIAL CHARACTER DISTRIBUTION

 

Get One of Two Legendary Pokémon to Unlock Brand-New Content in the
Pokémon Dream World

 

BELLEVUE, WA - March 6^th, 2012 - The Pokémon Company International is rolling out the red carpet for a very special character distribution event of legendary proportions. Beginning March 10^th, Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video game players can get either Legendary Pokémon Reshiram if they own Pokémon White Version or Legendary Pokémon Zekrom if they own Pokémon Black Version! Take advantage of this character distribution opportunity via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection service through April 8^th, and you can have Reshiram and Zekrom for your Pokémon collection without trading to get them.

 

Adding to the excitement of this character distribution, Pokémon players can use their new Reshiram or Zekrom to unlock exclusive content at the Pokémon Global Link (www.pokemon.com/pgl) and get a C-Gear skin matching the Pokémon they received. Tuck in Reshiram or Zekrom and explore a special home in the Pokémon Dream World that is inspired by the movies Pokémon the Movie: Black-Victini and Reshiram and Pokémon the Movie: White-Victini and Zekrom. If you have yet to catch the movies starring these Legendary Pokémon, or you would like to relive the adventures, a 2-disc DVD release of the feature-length films arrives April 3^rd in stores nationwide.

 

Obtaining the C-Gear skin and visiting the special movie home is only possible if you receive Reshiram or Zekrom during the character distribution event happening March 10^th through April 8^th.
