Players of the North American and PAL versions of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} will be able to download the special {{bp|Pikachu-colored Pichu}} from the {{bp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}} from March 5 until March 26. This Pichu, once traded to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, themselves due out the same day that the promotion ends, activates an event at the {{bp|Ilex Forest Shrine}}, allowing the player to obtain the {{bp|Spiky-Eared Pichu}} that starred in ''{{bp|M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life}}'', the twelfth movie.
