OK, I can probably look all this up elsewhere (I actually did.), but one last question: What exactly are these 'Events?' I saw there's like 10 routes that are Event-unlockable only. I am NOT going to fucking Toys R Us ten times just to make this 20 year-old knickknack work all the way.
You may not have to. Like the Pikachu Forest, it was offered over Nintendo WiFi so if you have wireless in your home (I don't remember if you do or don't) you can just log on to Nintendo WFC from your DS and snag it.
Also, slightly off-topic question, but Pory. It's been months. Where the heck is this badass awesome Ferral challenge of yours?
