Head to GameStop beginning January 30th to get a unique Shiny Pichu for your Pokémon

Diamond, Pearl or Platinum Version game!

Taken from pokemon.com:

A special Pichu is heading to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions, but only for a limited time! From January 30th to February 14th, head to a U.S. GameStop store with your Nintendo DS

and Pokémon game to receive a Shiny Pichu! This Shiny Pichu is a deeper yellow color than most Pichu, and it has bright red cheeks, much like its famous evolved form, Pikachu!

Shiny Pichu holds even more secrets if you transfer the Pokémon to either Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver Version, coming March 14th. Once you've traded Shiny Pichu, take it to Ilex forest to meet Spiky-Eared Pichu, the one featured in the recent movie, Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life!

Be sure to visit your local GameStop store between January 30th and February 14th to get this one-of-a-kind Pichu and reserve your copy of Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver Version! Stay tuned to Pokémon.com for more information!

You read right! The Pikachu coloured Pichu is coming to Gamestop stores around the US on the 30th of January! Sadly, it isn't coming to the UK but I guess I can wait.

As it says above, this Pichu will allow you to unlock the famous Spiky-Eared Pichu! So get down to Gamestop on the 30th and get your hands on the Pikachu coloured Pichu!
