Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are giving Pokémon™ fans yet another reason to get revved up for the March 6 launch of the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video games for the Nintendo DS™
family of systems. Consumers who purchase either of the new games
between launch and April 10 will be able to receive a special Liberty
Pass via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection (broadband Internet access
required), which will enable them to catch the never-before-seen
Mythical Pokémon Victini™.
Victini - the Victory Pokémon - is the
first Pokémon that's Psychic- and Fire-type and cannot be obtained
through normal game play. It is said that Victini creates an unlimited
supply of energy, which it shares with others. This energy source may be
the secret to how it brings about victories. Victini's unique and
exclusive Victory Star ability not only increases its own accuracy in
battle, but also boosts the accuracy of all a player's Pokémon in
battle. Victini is a must-have in any Pokémon battle, and is especially
useful in Triple Battles, which debut in Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.
Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version
include more than 150 never-before-seen Pokémon that players can catch,
train and battle as they progress through the game. Both games are now
available for pre-order from major retailers throughout the United
States for a suggested retail price of $34.99 each. A deposit may be
required for pre-orders. See individual retailers for details.
