Everyone having fun with their new HGSS? Well, the Yellow Forest (route for Pokéwalker) will be available for download over Nintendo Wi-Fi April 1st-April 30th. This route will allow you to capture a variety of Pikachu, including some that know Fly and Surf. This will also POSSIBLY be for download in Europe and Australia since they run off the same server.

YAY! FLYING PIKACHUS!

FUDGING FLYING PIKACHU
DO WANT

Still can't believe it.

It's too bad they didn't plan for it in PBR. Otherwise, it wouldn't look so weird seeing a Pikachu suddenly levitate in the air.

They could have done the little "balloon" idea from the manga and in the intro of Yellow and it wouldn't have killed the game.

Flying Pikachu? What is the world coming to!! I am excited for this.

What if you can get a flying AND surfing Pikachu?!?!?!? O_O

FLYING PIKA?!

April 1st.

I have nothing more to say.

I need to get the game first! XD

I can't wait to download the Yellow Forest course and encounter a flying or surfing Pikachu. It's going to look a little odd, but I'm sure I'll get along with it.

Can't wait to download Yellow Forest!!!!!

Awesome! I can't wait for my Surfing and Flying Pikachu! I wonder how they Surf and Fly

And by the way, you'll need 9000+ Steps for Surfing Pikachu, and 10000+ Steps for Flying Pikachu

I will be in Shadow's house getting the Wi-Fi event and then going back home.

After this I'll have every special pikachu.

If I may say something:

According to Serebii:

Nintendo has announced that the Yellow Forest route will be given for a few more days and will run from April 1 2010 to May 5 2010.

I am getting both a surfing and flying pikachu, then I shall make an epic Raichu (pichu) team with the 2 event pichus, those 2 pikachus, and 2 normal pikachus, then evolve the 5 (spike ear can't evolve)
It'll be awesum!

so you have to take that many steps in one stroll for them to appear?

Yes, unfortunately.

Check those shocking statistics:

Flying Pikachu
0+ Steps: 0%
2000+ Steps: 0%
10000+ Steps: 2%

Which means that the odd of encountering a Flying Pikachu are almost next to none.

Surfing Pikachu
0+ Steps: 0%
2000+ Steps: 0%
9500+ Steps: 3% (Wow. A 1% increase )

As you can see, a Surfing Pikachu is extremely rare, too.

Holy crap!
And I just realized that they are all pikachus, hence they have the same sprite, so there's no way to tell if it's one or not. ._.
Unless the board/balloons are included in the sprite.

ah, yea.
Forgot about the "!" deal. ^_^'
