Oh, thank goodness.

Big W isn't as out of my way as Toys "R" Us is.

Going by their Wikipedia page, they seem similar to Walmart. With a little Target and Kmart thrown in.

Closer to K-Mart, though from memory the Australian K-Mart's are different to the American ones.

Sucks that the Big W's participating in this are again quite far from me. It's easier for me to get to the one Toys R Us in town than to any of the participating Big W's. Why couldn't the one in the city centre be part of it, they'd be easy enough to get to.

I'm surprized they don't deliver one to your house :-D You do own the first result in google for any pokémon.

anyway, I just hope I don't have to go to toys-r-us again to get a pokémon, it's aquawrd. I'm surely the cool kid to drive so far to go to a toy store. Oh well, I've stopped caring about pokémon haters. I like the wifis the best.

To be honest, it's a very long time since I last got anything free from Nintendo, and while I have participated in a few Pokémon related things (like running TCG and TFG demos at Pokétour events in Brisbane in the past), I got those because of direct involvement I had in the local scene at the time, not because of Bulba.

It would be nice if they sent me the occasional review copy of a game or something though...

Are you serious? Holy wow. You would think you'd get more... o_o;

Seriously. >_> If it wasn't for Bulbapedia I'm almost positive that Pokemon's sales would go down. :P It's such a great resource and without it it wouldn't be as... easy. xD;

I dunno. That's weird. You should send them a letter complaining. :P
