Pokemon Black 2 White 2 Distribution

With new information pertaining to Pokemon X and Pokemon Y hitting as of late, it's easy to forget about the latest pair of Pocket Monster titles. Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 have been available for the Nintendo DS since October 2012, and in the recent onslaught of Pokemon related news, it's easy to forget about the latest core installments in the franchise.

Luckily for trainers, The Pokemon Company knows that there are still a handful of monsters that players need a hand in catching, and they've continued to support the games post-launch with various distribution events for rare and Legendary creatures. Whether it be an opportunity to obtain Meloetta or download the beastly Genesect, the company responsible for Black 2 and White 2 have been incredibly diligent when it comes to delivering content, and they'll soon be offering gamers another chance to obtain yet another heavily sought after monster.

Deoxys is one of the most insane looking and powerful Pokemon that can be found on the National Pokedex, but he's unobtainable through in-game methods. It's for this very reason that trainers need to keep their ears to the ground in anticipation of an event that gives away the Legendary creature. Fortunately, the opportunity to secure Deoxys has finally arrived.

The Pokemon Company will be giving away Deoxys to Black 2 and White 2 owners beginning on May 8th. In order to add the DNA-based Pokemon to your collection, all that's required is a copy of one of the previously mention games, a DS/3DS, and a Wi-Fi connection. Provided fans have got all of that, they'll be cleared for capture.

This distribution event is being held to build awareness for the TCG aspect of the Pokemon brand. The new Pokémon TCG: Black & White – Plasma Freeze expansion is preparing to hit store shelves, and one of the cards featured in the set is the new Deoxys-EX card; which looks to be a powerhouse that would make a fine addition to any player's deck. Of course, even if fans aren't into the trading card game, they can still rejoice at the prospect of adding Deoxys to their team.

May 8th just can't come soon enough for Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 owners.
