Pokemon Legends: Arceus Piplup distribution event

The distribution is happening viathe Pokemon Center chain, and will actually provide two different versions of Piplup depending on what versions ofPokemonyou own. SoBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearlhave their own edition, andPokemon Legends, for one of its first-ever events, will have another.

If you’re in Japan, all you need to do is enter a store in that chain and tell the staff the “keyword” of “Piplup Daisuki.” They’ll present you with a serial code to acquire the creature via mystery gift. The center stores are also doing a ton of promotion for Piplup in general, with plush toys, glassware, figures, and plates for sale, on top of a “Project Piplup” web comic collection given out for purchases over 3,000 yen.
