Mac de DS and Melee! Pokemon Scramble Codes

This will be my last update for a couple of weeks as I am off travelling, but don’t worry! The Pika Club will still be updated so be sure to keep visiting us, you’re sure to find the latest Pokemon news here. That said, there’s really not that much news to report on at the moment, this is only a minor update.

As previously reported on, Nintendo and McDonalds are now offering a DS WiFi service in McDonalds across Japan. Here’s the TV ad for that deal, showing off the Jirachi download event:




Also, for those of you out there that have Melee! Pokemon Scramble, you might be interested in knowing that a secret code has been given out for a Chimchar. That code is 0331-4118. Enter that and you’ll receive a Chimchar that knows Ember.

On a side note, the forums have just got a new summery theme based on Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Check them out!

Minor site modifications

This is a quick update to say that I have been making a few modifications around the website. You’ll notice that you can now email articles to friends, as well as rate them.

I’ve also modified the sites look slightly, changing the font face and decreasing the menu widths to give the content block a bit more space. You might see a couple other modifications in the coming days, but no major changes.

Edit: I’ve also changed the “Pokemon HG/SS Gallery” link on the top menu to just “Galleries” as it’s now a portal to other gallery pages. I’ve added a new gallery: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Check it out!

Edit #2: I’ve also added a poll on the right hand side. Please vote in it!

HG/SS Image Gallery

It’s been an uneventful news day but we at The Pika Club have been hard at work giving you visitors a reason to keep visiting. We’re constantly hard at work reporting on anything and everything related to Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver we find, but we also understand sometimes all you want to do is look at pictures. They’re especially exciting when a new game is coming out and screenshots are scare. So we’ve taken this opportunity to open up an image gallery so you can browse magazine scans, screenshots and anything else related to Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver at your leisure. We’ll keep it regularly updated, so keep checking back!

On another note, the navigation menu on the right has been modified slightly to make accessing all the different features The Pika Club has to offer easier. Be sure to register on our forums and tell us how we’re doing and what you think of Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver!

Kanto confirmed to be in Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver

Pokemon site pkmn.net has recently reported that the scans from CoroCoro confirm that the Kanto region WILL be included in Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver. I’m sure this will be endearing news to any long time Pokemon fan who wishes to relive those younger days playing the originals on Gameboy. I know this game is going to be a nostalgia rush for me.

Mysterious New Area

Mysterious New Area

It’s not all rehashing, however. A new area has been spotted on the new Johto map that wasn’t there before. Other than its West Cianwood City who knows what this is, but stay tuned as once we know we’ll let you know!

Official Japanese Heart Gold/Soul Silver Site Opens

The official Heart Gold/Soul Silver site section of pokemon.co.jp has opened, bringing not much new information but some nice quality screenshots and pictures. Click on the pictures below for bigger versions.

New Blog Design

As may be obvious to those who have visited us before, The Pika Club has just got a redesign. While it’s not as pretty as before, a new design was needed for a while as a lot of important information on the old design was not very easy to come by.

It’s still not complete yet and some minor things will be changing here and there over the coming days but it should not cause much of an inconvenience and everything will work as normal in the meantime.

So while we’re at it, TPC needs a new banner! Think you can do better than the current one of Ash? (The answer is yes!) Well then, now’s your chance to prove it! We need a 576×181 banner for this blog. The only requirements are it have a transparent background and roughly fit in with the current website design. To submit an entry, simply upload it somewhere (eg imageshack.us) and then comment on this article including the link to your banner. The winning banner will be used on this blog!

Clearer CoroCoro scans emerge

Courtesy of Japanese website 2chan.net, clearer magazine scans have been uploaded which reveal some more new information. Listed below is the new information, hit the jump for all of the clearer scans.

  • The Pokédex has a redesigned model and features two colours depending on the gender of the trainer, red for male and pink for female.
  • The touch screen is to feature more predominantely. You can organise your PC, Pokédex and bag items using the touch screen interface.
  • A large scan of the map of Johto suggests players can head west into Kanto. Whether Kanto features in HG/SS is unconfirmed but seems likely as Kanto featured in the original Gold/Silver games.
  • Confirmed! Any of the 493 Pokemon can follow you around and you can talk to them to see how they are feeling at any time.
  • The Pikachu-coloured Pichu given out at recent events in Japan will trigger an event featuring notch-eared Pichu in Ilex Forest, previous home to Celebi.
  • More information about the special event Jirachi has been revealed. It’s available as a WiFi download event in Japan at DS Download Stations and Nintendo Zone areas. Apparently if it’s traded to HG/SS, it will unlock something. Its stats are as follows:
    • Level 5 holding Liechi Berry
    • Knows Wish, Confusion, Rest, Draco Meteor
  • Lastly, pre-orders begin for the game on 4th July in Japan. If you pre-order Heart Gold, you will get a Ho-Oh figure. If you pre-order Soul Silver, you will get a Lugia figure. Pre-order both and you’ll get an Arceus figure.
