Pokmon Manaphy to be made available at JB Hi-Fi stores

It’s been a big question from our Pokemon playing fanbase on our forums for a while now but for one week only Pokemon Diamond and Pearl players will finally be able to get their hands on Manaphy. Nintendo is giving away Manaphy to co-incide with release of Pokmon Movie 9: Pokmon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, which stars mysterious Manaphy, and will of course be available in JB Hi-Fi stores from November 7. Manaphy will be available from any of the 78 JB Hi-Fi stores around Australia during the 7th to the 13th of November. Youll have to bring in your DS with Diamond and Pearl and have the Pokedex. Full press release inside.

Australia, 31 October, 2007

For one week only, consumers will have the opportunity to use their Nintendo DS in JB Hi-Fi stores nationally to receive the sought after Manaphy Pokmon character.

The Manaphy distribution celebrates the release of Pokmon Movie 9: Pokmon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, which stars mysterious Manaphy, and will be available in JB Hi-Fi stores from 7 November.

Manaphy has an exclusive move called Heart Swap, which switches healing effects with other Pokmon. To add to the excitement, Manaphy will appear inside the elusive Cherish Ball, a special Pok Ball only available through character distribution at events.

To receive Manaphy, consumers can visit any of the 78 JB Hi-Fi stores around Australia during the 7 13 November 2007. Consumers must also bring a Nintendo DS and a copy of either Pokmon Diamond or Pokmon Pearl, and must have obtained the Pokdex.

Once in JB Hi-Fi, consumers need to follow the simple instructions which can be found on http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/news/index.php. JB Hi-Fi staff will also be available to assist any consumers with the character distribution.

Coming 22 November is Pokmon Battle Revolution where Pokmon Diamond and Pokmon Pearl players can copy their Pokmon characters from the DS games into a spectacular 3D environment on the Wii and battle players around the globe via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Pokmon Battle Revolution is the first game to link the Nintendo DS and Wii systems.
