The rumoured 4-inch screen DSi has been revealed today, officially. On a personal note, I do like this colour, very much.

And a couple of new Wi-Fi events:

• Enigma Crystal available via Wi-Fi in HeartGold & SoulSilver, November 27th to January 11th. Allows capture of Latios or Latias when taken to Pewter City Museum.
• Mew available via Wi-Fi in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, January 29th to February 11th (Japan only?).
• Mew available via Wi-Fi in HeartGold & SoulSilver, November 11th to November 23rd.

This however, could be related to Tsunekazu Ishihara's statement that a new Wii game will be revealed soon. Although Gamefreak does not directly develop any Pokémon games other than the handheld RPGs, they did team up with Genius Sorority in the making of Pokémon Battle Revolution. Whether they're working on a new Wii game, or a 3D enhanced DSi game, is unknown, but nonetheless the Pokémon locomotive is going strong.

If you have an American, European or Australian Pokémon Platinum version, then hurry up and download Oak's Letter before November 8th! This key item allows you to go beyond Route 224 and access the natural habitat of Shaymin. This event also allows you to obtain the Gracidea flower in Floaroma Town, which helps Shaymin transform into its Sky Forme.

To enable Mystery Gift, go to Jubilife City, on the 3rd floor of the TV building, there is a TV producer. The correct answer to their question is: Everybody Happy followed by: Wi-Fi Connection. Then, after saving the game, Mystery Gift can be found on the Game Menu under Continue and New Game. A wireless internet connection is required; if you don't have one at home check your local Starbucks or Mc Donalds for free Wi-Fi.

Also, note that the Shaymin caught in Flower Paradise can be changed to its Sky Forme by using the Gracidea Flower on it.

According to the German magazine Gamemaster, Member's Card, the item required to trigger the Darkrai event, will be distributed via Wi-Fi across Europe starting August 3rd.

Once picked up at any Pokémart, go to the Canalave City and you enter the previously locked Inn. Once there, you fall asleep and wake up on New Moon Island where Darkrai lies, at level 50. Once captured, you will hear a deep voice explaining why Darkrai was placed on that island, probably the voice of Arceus.

Regigigas, will be inside a Cherish Ball, at Level 100 and it will hold a Custap Berry. It will know the moves Iron Head, Rock Slide, Icy Wind and Crush Grip.

Effort Point data and EV training tools, Pokémon type affinity, input validation, online status detection: images automatically enabled & Version Checker. Some textual changes.

I am most excited about getting done the Version Checker and the EV training tools; I needed the latter a lot myself and thus I halted playing Platinum till I finished this.

Kudos to all of you that keep me going by supporting this calculator and translating it other languages: Spanish, Italian & Italian, Korean, Chinese and possibly more that I do not know of... Leave your notes of wisdom and possible requests for future versions in the comments below. Also report any bugs/problems as usual.

Edit: Junichi Masuda writes about an interview he gave to Gamasutra which we apparently never mentioned. Also if you live in Australia, don't miss the Secret Key events!

The map artwork which shows the regions in Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver is fully revealed. This is a great deal, since this will finally end the arguments about the remakes having Kanto or not. Plus, not only Kanto itself, but also a new region can be seen on the left. Heart Gold and Soul Silver seem to have more aces up their sleeves, so let's be prepared for more surprises!
