Thanks to {{u|QuickAttack}} for providing the flier scan.
 
'''Update:''' We are sincerely sorry for any confusion that may have occurred. '''{{u|QuickAttack}}'s''' report of a Mystery Gift event was fake, as well as the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/archive/5/58/20090322002403!NWS_Flyer_2009.png flier the same user posted earlier]. We would wish to thank {{u|Nyoo}} and [http://www.filb.de Filb.de] for giving us more information on the issue.
 
The user that reported this was not a user, but a sockpuppet of {{u|Fenzo666}} and {{u|Poryhack}}, the two administrators at the former PKM Database, now Project Pokémon. As it would seem, they were trying to get users away from Bulbagarden, specifically Bulbapedia, and towards their site by giving users false information. However, {{u|Argy}} noticed that the IP of QuickAttack was the same as those PKM Database admins. Due to this, The PKM Database has been shush about the incident, with the only mention that it was their doing on {{u|Fenzo666|talk=yes}}'s talk page, covering the situation up by saying it was an April Fools' joke; problem was, this happened more than a week before the first of April. The duo has yet to tell their users about the incident as of March 13, 2010.
