Nintendo and Toys R Us offer free download of uber rare Pokémon, Manaphy

Do you like Pokémon but haven’t beaten Pokémon Ranger?  Nintendo and Toys R Us are teaming up to release the rare legendary Pokémon, Manaphy, as a free download to the eager masses.  According to Nintendo Power, on September 29, 2007, from noon to 3 p.m. you will be able to download Manaphy to your copy of Pokemon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl via Nintendo DS download.

Previously, players hoping to catch Manaphy could get a Manaphy egg for completing a certain objective in Pokémon Ranger.  Unlike most legendaries, Manaphy can breed, but it’s baby form, Phione, can never evolve - making Manaphy rare indeed.

Another tidbit from Nintendo Power’s article:  Manaphy is the only Pokémon that knows Heart Swap, which causes it to switch stat modifications with an opponent.

Nintendo and Toys R Us are celebrating the release of the latest Pokémon movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.  The movie features a Manaphy holding a red scarf, and sure enough, the Manaphy you receive will be holding a Red Scarf, hiding inside a Cherish Ball.

Nowadays it’s nigh impossible to “catch ‘em all” but this will put us one step closer.

    I wasn’t able to download anything. Is this accurate information?

  • Well, if you tried it today, you’re a little late.  The promotion was on September 29, 2007.

  • I bought both Brain Age games to play on my own. I absolutely love this thing! It’s small enough that it’s portable but the screen is large enough to see. I really have no complaints! The ONLY thing I wish is that I could play older Gameboy games on it, but you can’t have everything!
