I just got back from the Pokemon Black and White tour in the mall in Phillie and I must say it was pretty darn fun. Some of the stuff was pretty corny, like how you had to go around the mall getting five stamps at different stamp booths in order to be able to spin the wheel for a prize. The prizes were mediocre, but that was the least of the tour (they had things like styluses and plushies, my brother got a Tepig stylus and I got a Tepig plushie). Probably the most enjoyable part was being able to see just how awesome the mall was compared to the ones we have in Jersey. It was quite overwhelming how much you had to walk because of how huge it was, we weren't very used to it. Another thing they had was a very short demo you could do after watching a short video introducing some of the Pokemon and features in Black/White, and then you got a little pin after you finished that. At some point they did have a thing where you could take pictures with Pokemon in costumes, but the lines was so HUMONGOUS that it just wasn't worth it. They had a little shop where you could by shirts and figures of the two legendaries as well (my brother got two of the big legendary figures and three of the small starter figures for us). They did have an episode of Pokemon: Best Wishes (the new season of Pokemon for the Unova region) playing on a TV, but I didn't really bother with that. They also had a free theater-viewing of the new Zoroark Pokemon movie (also located in the mall). It actually was surprisingly good, though I did doze off a lot for fifteen minutes of it, whether it be because of lack of sleep or whatever. We also ate at the food court, got a couple random games at Five Below, and checked out some of the game stores (they had some we had never seen, like Game Store and Game Traders, but they also had Game Stop- in the mall that is) among others. We were really hoping to battle a bunch of people since a TON of people had their DS's with them, along with us, but it was more difficult than we thought to battle with people at random through the Union room nowadays. And I forgot to mention, that we also got a level 50 Celebi for our games in the WiFi giveaway (HeartGold). I really wish we had malls like that in Jersey and overall enjoyed my time there. |

Someone move this to the ds section please, I think it will get more attention there. Sounds like an interesting event, and I hope these types of things happen a lot once the 3ds is out, thanks to the street pass function. As far as white and black go, I'm actually somewhat interested in them for the reasons of they are completely new experiences, so all the monsters and towns and everything are unknown to everyone, and then there's all the changes that were made like the changes in seasons, more depth in the plot and storyline, and the way certain things were steam lined better. |

For anyone that missed this, the event is also comping to NYC at the Nintendo World Store, or maybe it's an entirely different event. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/26/pokemon-black-and-white-launch-event-coming-to-nintendo-world-st/ |

Though it was boring at times, it was actually pretty good considering where the anime series has gone nowadays. |

Yeah, it really depends on where you live and how close you are. We went at somewhere around 7:30-8 AM-ish since it is an hour and a half drive for us, plus tickets for the movies went SUPER fast so we're glad we went when we did. |
