Similar to the "Journey Across America" tours Nintendo used to hold, where Event Items could be transfered to the GBA games, a tour promoting Pokemon Black and White is to be held between February and March in malls across America. Not only will these tours feature early playable demos of Pokemon Black and White, scavenger hunts, purchasable Pokemon merchandise, contests, and prizes, but a free screening of the new Pokemon movie, "Master of Illusions:Zoroark" will be shown in the theaters of the malls which act as tour stops. This would make Master of Illusions:Zoroark the first Pokemon movie to be viewable in a North American theater since Pokemon Heroes in May of 2003, 8 years ago!

The tour will encompass 14 cities, beginning on the 5th of February and ending on March 20th. The cities and their respective tour dates are as follows:

February 5th-6th
Seattle, WA (Westfield Southcenter, Seattle, WA)
Cleveland, OH (Westfield SouthPark, Strongsville, OH)

February 12th-13th

Oh for the love of Arceus, the movie is in "theaters" but none within Nevada. JUST RELEASE IT IN ALL THEATERS ALREADY!

No where near here it seems ._.

Holy Karp. I'm so going the the one in Minneapolis~! WOOT. This is so freakin' exciting! I'll take lots of pictures for those who can't go and such. ^~^

Nothing for North Carolina ._.

The closest thing here is the one in Georgia D:

Fffffuuuu

This is liek so ossim. AND I live in LA AND I'm going to San Jose February 12 - 14.
So liek, I can go.
But I dun know where Arcadia is. =X
Derp.

And, as per usual, Kansas is nowhere in the lineup. *Shrugs* Not like would've gone anyway. I have a... thing... about movie theaters. I would have liked to have played the demos, though.

DO EET CAT.

Oh well, at least I was able to remove that line from my signature that had been there for a really long time:

^ All that proves Pokemon fans will do ANYTHING.

This sounds so cool! I just wish there was one in VA!

If anyone can film the demo that would be great since there is no stop near my area

FINALLY!! Nintendo! You've finally listened to us! This is just awesome!

Why can't there be any events like this in the Kansas City area?

I AM IN EUROPE. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
*asks mum if we can move house*

*Sigh...* Once again, Nintendo forgot about Canada. :C

Not that I am allowed to participate in your American-Canadian speech since I live very far far away, but I am happy that with this demo, we will be able to know more English names for the Pokémon and the cities/towns. That is exciting.

I so wish it was close to me.

I'm totally in for going to LA for that tour. Maybe I'll bring HRFTW with me...considering I can persuade my parents to let me go. D:

Milking the cash cow all the way!

Seriously though, I'm really glad that they're satisfying their huge fans with such interactive events. This also means that more English names will be revealed, so I'm starting to feel pretty excited. For the members who are going, I hope that you will have fun over there.

Of course. It's in my state, but it's a forever drive and I probably can't go. Fantastic.

That's it, I am so bugging my mom to take me to Atlanta. And it will be glorious.

I haven't felt this excited since my first gameboy when I was 7.

Why don't they ever do this stuff in Canada!
