If you were lucky enough to snatch up a copy of Pokemon SoulSilver or HeartGold, then you’re all set to get your free “Yellow Forest” DLC, which gives your Pokewalker an extra destination to walk through, and enables you to catch all sorts of regular and rare Pikachu specimen for fun and sport.
All you have to do is select “mystery gift” from your game’s main menu (before play), then select “get via Nintendo WFC”. Boom! Free DLC downloaded to your DS’s cart (compliments of Nintendo Voodoo Magic). All you have to do to enable it is go to any Pokemart, talk to the guy in green, and save your game. Extra unnecessarily long instructions are available on the official website if you’re so inclined. The Yellow Forest will be available to download through May 5th, so get those excuses ready for when your boss asks “is that a tiny Pokeball, and why are you running in circles around the office?”
Downloading now. It’s sad but it is totally part of my routine to set up and transfer to and from the pokewalker several times a day. Damn you, Nintendo! Now I look nerdier than ever…
The only complaint I have against SoulSilver/HeartGold is that you can only gain one level per session with a pokewalker. I wish it was just twice as hard to gain a level, and you could gain like five at a time.
I thought this was a joke when I first saw it. There’s so many Pikachu running around, it’s like watching a swarm of large, yellow, electric mice.
Oh wait …
i would rather a pack of shotgun shells on my belt that level up my MW2 charachter personally :p
