Thread: Current & Upcoming Events & FAQ (Updated on May 18, 2013)

1. Do you want to know what the latest Pokémon event is and when you can get it, or are you merely confused as to go about the whole process in the first place? Look no further as this thread has got you covered!

While we aim to have you constantly updated, sometimes that’s not always possible (due to timezones, an event might be announced while we’re sleeping for example). If you notice something not on the list, please give Joshawott a Visitor Message or a Private Message and it will be updated as soon as possible.

If an event is due to end in the next couple of days, it will be highlighted in RED, so get them while you can!

For those of you who are unsure about how to access to two more prominent methods of distribution: Wi-Fi Event and Global Link Event, a tutorial for each can be found below. A full list of C-Gear skins, decor and musical songs that are being given away on the Global Link can also be found below.

Pokémon Global Link:
So there's a new promotion on the Pokémon Global Link that you want, but have no idea how? Well, simply follow these easy steps (NOTE: While the images provided are for receiving a Musical Event, the same process applies to C-Gear skins and Pokémon distributions):

1. Go onto the Pokémon Global Link website and log in to your account. You will then be taken to the home page. Click on the "Promotions" tab:
   
   
2. You will then see a list of all the current promotions. Click on the one you wish to access (if you want more than one, then just repeat the previous and following steps until you have all the ones you want):
   
   
3. Next, if the item needs a password to unlock, enter it (if not, there will be a simple button to submit). Once the password has been entered, press submit:
   
   
4. Then confirm that you wish to receive the Pokémon/Skin/Musical:
   
   
5. If the gift you received is a skin (C-Gear or Pokédex) or a Musical then you will be returned to the home screen. Once you have, click on the "Customise" button:
   
   
6. You will then be given a chance to select which skins you wish to use. After you have chosen, click "Customize Game" and confirm your choices:
   
   
   
   Then all you have to do is wait for the next time your sync your game with the Global Link website for the changes to take effect.
7. If the promotion you are receiving is a Pokémon, instead of being redirected to the home menu, after Step 4 you will go to a small part of the Dream Isle where you will find your Pokémon (hint: it's right in front of you). The next time you choose to wake up your Pokémon after going to the Dream World, that Pokémon will be added to your Entree Forest.

Wi-Fi Connection / Real Life Event:

1. On the homescreen of Pokémon Black or Pokémon White, click on "Mystery Gift".
2. Then click on "Receive Gift"
3. If the event is a Wi-Fi event, click on "Get via Nintendo WFC" (Compatible broadband connection required). If it's a real life event and you are actually at the event, click on "Get via Wireless".
4. Receive the gift.
5. If the gift is a Pokémon, make sure you have a space in your party.
6. Once you know you have one or more free slots, go to the deliveryman in any Poké Mart and receive your gift.
