Beginning Nov. 26, the Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Yokohama and Sapporo [[bp:Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center stores]] will commence a promotion of distributing [[bp:Treecko (Pokémon)|Treecko]], [[bp:Torchic (Pokémon)|Torchic]] and [[bp:Mudkip (Pokémon)|Mudkip]]. The purpose behind the campaign is to assist players who do not have access to all five versions of the GBA Pokémon RPG series, [[bp:Pokémon Ruby|Pokémon Ruby]], [[bp:Pokémon Sapphire|Sapphire]], [[bp:Pokémon FireRed|FireRed]], [[bp:Pokémon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]] and [[bp:Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]. As such, the Pokémon to be distributed are those only available in the games out of multiple choice or through version-exclusive means. When the first promotion ends on Dec. 11, it will most likely be replaced by another promotion giving out [[bp:Bulbasaur (Pokémon) |Bulbasaur]], [[bp:Charmander (Pokémon)|Charmander]] and [[bp:Squirtle (Pokémon)|Squirtle]]. The recently released [[bp:Pokémon XD|Pokémon XD]] is, too, partly focused on supplementing the GBA games with version-exclusive and otherwise hard-to-get Pokémon. However, the only game to have all its missing Pokémon covered through this method is Emerald. Furthermore, neither the [[bp:Hoenn|Hoenn]] nor the [[bp:Kanto|Kanto]] starters are included in this. In order to receive the Pokémon, players must attend one of the Pokémon Center stores with their Game Boy Advance (or SP) and one or more cartridges. It is necessary to have obtained the [[bp:Pokédex|Pokédex]] from [[bp:Prof. Birch|Prof. Birch]] (in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald) or [[bp:Prof. Oak|Prof. Oak]] (in FireRed and LeafGreen). Also required is saving at an in-game Pokémon Center after clearing at least one room in the party; only one Pokémon is downloaded at a time. It should be noted that since the download is performed directly, unlike normal trading and wireless communication downloads, the game will not check whether the [[bp:National Dex|National Dex]] has been obtained.
