Pokemon Platinum Launch Party This Weekend

Celebrate Pokemon's 10th with the launch party for the Nintendo DS Pokemon Platinum game from 11-4 pm Saturday, March 21, at the Nintendo Store in Rockefeller Center. The much anticipated gamensold a million units in just three days in Japan. There will be Pokemon costume characters - and giveaways - and there will be a sneak preview of the new Pokemon movie, Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Highlights of the day will be an interactive Pokemon playground with minigame-play with other players around the world. Those brave enough to come in a Pokemon costume will have a chance to dive into Pokemon Platinum Plunge - a 10-foot vat of colorful balls - for a chance to win a special Giratina DS Lite. Only 60 of them will be released in the entire United States. Gotta catch 'em all.
