Pokemon.com has announced that the distribution of Shiny Pichu, which are also known as Pikachu-colored Pichu, to players of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum will be held at GameStop stores
in the United States from Jan. 30 to Feb. 14. The Shiny Pichu will be level 30 and male only, and they will come in a Cherish Ball. They will be holding an Everstone and a Classic Ribbon, and they will have the Jolly nature. Lastly, they will know the moves Charge, Volt Tackle, Endeavor and Endure. These Pichu, when traded to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and taken to the Ilex Forest shrine, will allow players to obtain the Spiky-eared Pichu featured in the most recent movie, Arceus and the Jewel of Life. The Spikey-eared Pichu will be female only and they will hold a Zap Plate. They know the moves Volt Tackle, Helping Hand, Swagger and Pain Split, and they cannot be traded. Shiny Pichu were initially given to players of the Japanese games who pre-ordered tickets
to the aforementioned movie. The North American versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver are set to be released on March 14.

So, is anyone doing this?
Me? Maybe...simply because the fact that this is happening at GameStop, which is a store that's actually in my city (the local mall, to be exact) would make him much easier to obtain than the Toys 'R' Us promo Pokemon I've gotten!
Second, having him would allow me to do the Spiky-eared Pichu event in "HeartGold/SoulSilver" a couple months from now.
And finally, he'd be a guaranteed Shiny Pokemon. :D
