Latios and Latias coming soon to Pokemon HG/SS photo

Nintendo's next download gift for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver will be obtainable very soon. How does this weekend sound? From July 31 to August 27, North American and PAL players will have the chance to grab the Enigma Stone via Wi-Fi.

With this item, HeartGold owners can catch Latios and SoulSilver owners can catch Latias. Additionally, the Enigma Stone will allow us to get the Soul Dew. Disclaimer: you need to have beaten the Elite Four, claimed the National Pokedex, and own two or fewer Wonder Cards to take part in this.

Not my most-wanted Pokemon by any means, but I'll take them. These cursed giveaways always end in me getting sucked back into the game, which isn't entirely a bad thing. Although, my in-game hour count would probably disagree.

Even though I already have them both in HG thanks to Rby/Sph, I must still say: FUCKING FINALLY!

And when in god's name are we gonna get the Celebi?! The on that actually has an impact on the game's story?

There's a dude on twitter who periodically gives away the event pokemon using an exploit in the GTS, I don't think he has his server up right now, but I have an extra Celebi from the 13th movie in Japan it might unlock the event in HG/SS I'm not sure though, I also have extras of the legendary dogs that unlock the Zoruark event in Black/White if you want one of those.

I think you mean you just need to have room for Wonder Cards, which came from previous Mystery Gifts. Once you've claimed whatever those mystery gifts offer, you can just delete the wonder cards.

We've had since early march to beat the Elite Four and claim the National Pokedex, so it shouldn't be a problem for most.

@Jonathan Ross

I was about to post the same thing, and also point out that both words are only one letter off.

I was totally going to say the same thing. I had to read the article a few times before I actually realized. "Heartgold owners can catch Latinos and Soulsilver owners can catch Latinas." lol

I shamefully used server exploits to get all the event legendaries.

What? Don't look at me like that. I've wanted Mew/Celebi since I was 8.

Pfffffft.... I already played Emerald twice so I could put those two on my DS. That makes me cool, right? Right?

Nah, I didn't think so, either.

Add me to the list of Latinos and Latinas. And here I thought we were finally going to finally have some/good representation in videogames! :[

I misread that as "Latinas" and got excited, then realized it was Pokemon and was disappoint.

I also read that as "Latinos and Latinas."
