Wed, 9th Mar 2011
FYI, this story is more than a year old

CORRECTION: We've just received word that the Liberty Passes for Victini can be obtained by anyone via Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection.

Original story follows:

Nintendo has announced that an ultra-rare Pokémon by the name of Victini will be available for a limited time once Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version launch tomorrow. But you'll need a Liberty Pass to obtain Victini via your Nintendo DS Wi-Fi connection.

According to the press release from Nintendo, Victini, also known as the "Victory Pokémon", "cannot be obtained through normal gameplay and is the first-ever Pokémon to be both a Psychic and Fire type". To receive Victini, you'll need to obtain a Liberty Pass and then immediately enter the code online to ensure that you don't miss out. It seems these Liberty Passes will be handed out to those who collect their copies of the game from the following EB Games locations: EB Games 301 St Lukes: Shop 903, Level 2, Westfield Shopping Centre, 80 St Lukes St, Mount Albert, Auckland  New Zealand EB Games 304 Westcity: Shop 207, Upper Level, Westfield Shopping Centre,Katherine St, Henderson, Auckland  New Zealand EB Games 323 Lynmall Shop: Lynn Mall Shopping Centre, Lynn Mall, Auckland New Zealand EB Games 340 New Lynn: 3119 Great North Road, New Lynn, Auckland New Zealand EB Games 334 Sylvia Park: Shop 12, Sylvia Park Shopping Centre, 188 Mt Wellington Highway, Auckland New Zealand EB Games 305 Manukau: Shop 44a, Westfield Manukau.
