Has anyone done the Arceus event yet?

I have two Toys 'R' Us stores near me (within an hours driving distance) and neither of them have received the material from Nintendo yet. One just said they flat out 'weren't doing it'

Does anyone else think this is a little messed up?
 
I got mine.

It's not in every Toys 'R' Us though, it's only in "participating ones," messed up as that may be
 
It'd be pretty cool if I could get the Arceus, but I don't have WiFi..so no Arceus for me. D:
 
Like I keep saying:

CALL BEFORE YOU GO.

It really helps. I was able to get an answer the night before it started and was able to be the first up there on the 7th to get my Arceus. Kidnapped my sister's DS and saw the JP Arceus event in my SS as well. :D Though in-battle the TRU Arceus got it's ass whooped by my SoulSilver Team (After I sent it back over to my US Pearl). :/
 
You don't need Wi-Fi, you just need a participating TRU store, Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, and a DS.
 
Oh ffff, I forgot about that! I live in such a big city that it really shouldn't be a problem.

I'm sorry for those of you who don't live in a participating area, though. D: If I get more than one (like one for each of my games, I guess?), I'll probably trade the extras away.
 
I'm going tomorrow...

Before I go, I'll make sure the battery on my DS is fully charged so that there aren't any issues (the last thing I need is for the battery light to turn red while I'm out in public!). I'll be saved at the Pokemon Center in the Survival Area, since the PokeMart is right next to it. I'll make a space in my party ahead of time, so I can pick up Arceus right away after starting the game.

i understand you dude. i went out this weekend to 2 locations wich were kinda far from my house, and they didnt have it..i tried both saturday and sunday.. and i live in the L.A/ Long Beach area
 
I got mine.

Not much of an event though. Me and a couple friends stood int he middle of the electronics section and picked it up. No other players, nothing.

Nice to get a free Arceus, but a bit anticlimactic.
 
I got five and I plan to go back tomorrow to get 5 more. My goal is a humble 30, what do I plan to do with those 30, I don't know, I'll think of something.

I've heard of people doing this... how doe it work? Download and then trade to another game without saving? Or is it as simple as deleting the wondercard over and over?

Download Arceus → Trade to another game → New game → Download Arceus → Trade to another game → New game → Download Arceus → Trade to another game → New game → Download Arceus → Trade to another game → New game → Download Arceus → Trade to another game → New game → Download Arceus → Trade to another game....
 
You...have to be seriously dedicated and PATIENT to do that. D8

I received my Arceus yesterday, as did my two sisters. We had an epic battle of Arceus vs Arceus...I won. 8D Too bad we can't nickname the Arceus, I so wanted to call mine "Jesus"...
 
Got mine today! It was just a matter of going into the video games/electronics section and downloading Arceus from the signal. Then I saved after getting it from the PokeMart and depositing it safely in the PC Box. It was that fast and easy -- no having to wait in line... which is good because my mom and I wanted to do some early Christmas shopping before the rush!
