Pokemon Announces Triumphant Return of Mewtwo
Celebrate the Epic Arrival of the Mewtwo-EX TCG Card and Get One of the Most Powerful Pokémon of All Time for Your Video Game, Too!
BELLEVUE, WA - February 7th, in the year of our Lord
2012 - Pokémon™ fans have a limited chance to receive
one of the rarest and most powerful Psychic-type Pokémon,
Mewtwo, when it returns as a special character distribution
event next week. From February 12th through February 26th, fans
with wireless broadband Internet access can catch this Level 70
Legendary Pokémon for their Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon
White Version video games via the Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection
service.
The Mewtwo character distribution begins on the heels of the
February 8th launch of Pokémon TCG: Black & White - Next
Destinies, featuring the awesomely powerful Mewtwo - EX card and
others, including Reshiram - EX, Zekrom - EX, and Regigigas -
EX! Mewtwo, one of the most popular Pokémon ever, has had a deep
connection with fans since its debut in the franchise's first
games - Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version. It makes
its return with several powerful moves, including Shadow Ball, a
Ghost - type move that is super effective against Ghost - type
Pokémon, and Electro Ball, a stunning move that Mewtwo cannot
normally learn. Making this character distribution especially
valuable, this Mewtwo also comes equipped with the devastating
Psystrike attack, a brand-new signature move that allows
Trainers to inflict damage depending on their opponent's Defense
- a skill that is normally only learned at Level 100! When
players get Mewtwo, it will also be holding a King's Rock, an
item that can occasionally cause opponents to flinch in battle,
and when given to certain Pokémon in your party, will help them
evolve. Finally, Mewtwo comes with a Premier Ribbon, a special
Ribbon that can't be collected through normal game play! The
Pokémon Company International is only making this Mewtwo special
character distribution available for two short weeks, so be sure
to get it before the opportunity to add Mewtwo to your party
passes by. To participate in the Mewtwo character distribution
event for the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version
video games, you will need:
Wireless broadband Internet access
A Nintendo DS™, Nintendo DSi™, Nintendo DSi XL™, or Nintendo
3DS™ system
A copy of the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version
video game
No more than 11 Wonder Cards in your possession

Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version, and to learn
