[http://www.nintendo.co.uk The Official Nintendo Europe website] has revealed a [http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/manaphy/teaser_enGB.html placeholder page] announcing the forthcoming revelation of [[bp:Manaphy|Manaphy]] in European copies [[bp:Pokemon Ranger|Pokemon Ranger]], which was released there on Friday following a two week delay.  
[http://www.nintendo.co.uk The Official Nintendo Europe website] has revealed a [http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/manaphy/teaser_enGB.html placeholder page] announcing the forthcoming revelation of [[bp:Manaphy|Manaphy]] in European copies [[bp:Pokemon Ranger|Pokemon Ranger]], which was released there on Friday following a two week delay.  


The revelation is similar to [http://www.pokemon.com Pokemon.com]'s own reveal of Manaphy earlier in the year, though the European site directly refers to the Pokémon's name as Manaphy and doesn't reveal any timeframe for any further information - merely stating that Manaphy "is set to surface soon", unlike its American cousin.

The microsite follows the same water theme of the 9th Pokémon Movie, [[bp:Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]], though currently only as far as the 6th Pokémon Movie, [[bp:Jirachi Wishmaker|Jirachi Wishmaker]] has been released in Europe following years of missed releases after the breakdown in relations between [[bp:Pokémon USA|Pokémon USA]] and [[wp:Miramax|Miramax]]. While the American website also announced the forthcoming release of the 9th Movie on DVD, it is unlikely that the European site will follow with this.

It is to be assumed that the password code for activating the Manaphy mission in American copies of Pokémon Ranger is incompatible with European copies and that the code revealed by Nintendo Europe will be different.
