Pokemaniacs: grab Regigigas at Toys R Us this month

If you are planning on getting Platinum, a Regigigas might be a worthwhile provision. According to the news item, having a Regigigas in your party in Platinum causes Regice, Regirock, and Registeel to appear periodically in Sinnoh. Can you really sit by while Pokémon go uncaught? See you at TRU.

If you already have Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, you can get the other regis anyway.
If you have the other Regis, you can unlock Regigigas in D/P
Uhhhhh what? Using a key to unlock keys to the key you...my brain hurts.

It's a move to remove adv requirements.... if you have a DSi you're SOL unless you get this specific regigigas.

Technically that's not Giygas in the second picture if that's what you're making a reference to. It's Giegue from Mother 1. Giygas looks like a twisted red blob.

Yeah, but storywise, I'm pretty sure they're the same person.

Actually, *only* this TRU Regigigas that will unlock the other Regi's in Platinum. The Regigigas you captured in D/P by having Regirock, Regiice and Registeel will NOT unlock them in Pearl. Once you have them, then you can capture a Regigigas in Platinum at level 1.
hormelx-joystiq @ Mar 2nd 2009 9:11PM
I meant, The Regigias you captured in D/P (by having Regirock, Regiice and Registeel) will NOT unlock them in *PLATINUM.*
Sorry.

It took me a few seconds to get the picture, but i'm proud i did.
March 8th and March 21st, eh? I don't know where TRU is near my college, but part of that span of time is in my Spring Break, and i do know where a TRU is near me.

Fantusta @ Mar 2nd 2009 11:00PM
Oh mannnn... I leave the US on the 8th and don't get back until the ~26th... doubt Canadian TRU will participate... always leaving me out in the cold...

R_Fusion @ Mar 3rd 2009 12:09PM
the guy still gives me the creeps
Plokosh @ Mar 3rd 2009 1:41PM
since i sold my copy of ruby long before i got diamond, this is good news for me.
moar free pokemans pl0x~!
Tim @ Mar 3rd 2009 9:17PM
Moar uber pokemans plz!
Proper English: More Uber Pokemon please!
Speaking of Regigigas, I'd like to see it to have another ability in Platinum, seeing how its D/Pearl ability nerfs this Legendary.
rTwelve @ Mar 4th 2009 6:30PM
actually, proper english does not include "uber".... ;)

You cannot grasp the true form of Reggie's attack!
tkAshur @ Mar 3rd 2009 3:10PM
uhh, how about another shot at Darkrai...I missed him the first time around! I understand the whole get rid of advance game thing...but c'mon! At least have a Manaphy to go with...I don't wanna buy a $30 DS game just for one measly legendary.
Angela @ Mar 21st 2009 11:16AM
If you don't want to, then don't. Or buy one on ebay. How hard is that :|
tkAshur @ Mar 21st 2009 6:02PM
uhhhh...isn't there only one per game? Used just increases the chance it won't have one.
Dorian @ Mar 3rd 2009 11:20PM
why is this only lasting to the day before Platinum?!?! soo upset that my copy of pokemon was stolen (along with my DS and imported rumble pak). I've been holding off for Platinum… blah!
Rhamsey @ Mar 5th 2009 11:20AM
hey dorian, sorry about your game being stolen, i my ruby was stolen and i had every pokemon you could get, legit, all contest beaten, every done, over 400 hours put into that game (i had a lot of free time at work). they even took my sp. anyway, if you reply to my message below yours (next week), and if i get the pokemon when the game comes out, ill trade it over for ya, as i have diamond and pearl, so wont mind giving you one of mine.
Dorian @ Mar 5th 2009 12:01PM
thanks a lot Rhamsey! however, a buddy of mine is gonna let me borrow his 'copy' of pokemon. He has an ezflash cartage and make a copy the pokemon rom so it's 'my own' copy and then trade it to me that following day.
Rhamsey @ Mar 5th 2009 11:05AM
ive been doing this for years now. everytime i get out of a pokemon, a new one comes out, and i have to get it. hell, i still remember making my parents drive me and some friends an hour and a half away, to get mew.
those were the days.
