The official Pokémon website has a mysterious Pokémon running around!

On the main page under the web site navigation bar, there is an ad that says, "Look closely... What Pokémon could it be?"

The picture shows what would appear to be the ear of a yellow Pokémon...but what could it be?

The official Pokémon and Pokémon Platinum sites have just updated to announce the Oak's Letter for the US.

It is available via Nintendo Wi-Fi on Monday, September 28, 2009 to Sunday, November 8, 2009.

The Wonder Card is entitled "Get Oak's Letter".

To encounter Shaymin in the Flower Paradise, you must first enter the Hall of Fame and receive the National Pokédex. Next, go to Route 224 via Victory Road and take the letter to the stone tablet at the end of the route where Professor Oak is waiting. Shaymin will appear and follow it to its home to battle it. It is at level 30.

According to a picture and a few people on Japanese forums, the Pokémon Center in Nagoya is starting a birthday event like the Tokyo and Yokohama Pokémon Centers. This information has not been confirmed by the official Pokémon Center Nagoya web site yet.

I first learned about this a few days before the official release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver in Japan. It apparently started on the release date of the games, September 12, 2009. The Pokémon Center was closed 9/1 to 9/11 for renovations.

The Pokémon is Chimchar. The OT is ナゴヤ (Nagoya) with an ID of 09129. It is said to be male and mild natured. It is captured in a Cherish Ball with a Classic Ribbon and holding on to a Lucky Egg.

Remember, this is not 100% confirmed by the official Pokémon Center Nagoya web site. However, we feel that there may be enough evidence to say it is a legitimate event. We hope to have 100% confirmation within the next week.

Thanks to kotobuki for trying to find the information and Pokémon for us.

The official Pokémon Platinum web site has just been updated to include some information about the powerful, legendary Arceus.

The rare Pokémon Arceus remains a mystery in many ways, but for now you can discover the amazing traits of its Multitype Ability. In addition to changing its type, the Multitype Ability also changes Arceus's color to match. With the ability to change its type, Arceus can be a very powerful Pokémon in whatever way suits you. Help Arceus take advantage of the various strengths and weaknesses among the types to gain the upper hand in battle!

The page also includes some screen shots from the game of Arceus's ability and of it holding a Fire, Splash, Zap, Draco, Iron, and Insect Plate, which show its change in color.

It also says to stay tuned for details on how to get Arceus so we will bring you confirmation about the Arceus event in November when it is made available.
