Pokemon Battle Revolution comes bearing mystery gifts

For a long time, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl owners have been yearning to use the “Mystery Gift” menu option. Finally, Nintendo will give them ample opportunity to do so. Unfortunately, you need a Wii, a copy of Pokemon Battle Revolution, a DS, one of the DS games and about fifteen to twenty minutes to unlock the mystery gift. First you visit the Pokemon Battle Revolution: Mystery Gift site. You complete the four challenges, and then the secret code to unlock the special gift is revealed. Apparently this won’t be the first “Mystery Gift” pokemon, as the site has a countdown clock to a second gift. The first gift is described as a “Shocking Secret Gift” and the second, which will be available in eight days, is described as a “Heated Secret Gift.”

Keep reading to discover what the exclusive gift is and what the challenges to get it are.

Opinion: Where’s all the online gameplay you promised, Nintendo!?

Nintendo doesn’t know what it’s doing with multiplayer online gameplay. It’s just that simple.

The Famicom and the Super Famicom, and the Nintendo 64 had online peripherals which were never a wide enough success to release in the US market. Nintendo tried, and it decided nobody cared… and then the online gaming market exploded. Nintendo was too far ahead of its time. Then, the DS and the Wii came along and Nintendo promised wireless internet connectivity right out of the box. But Nintendo has left us sour in the one aspect that it has always claimed deserves the most attention: The games.
