Attention Pokemon trainers: Zoroark distribution at Toys R Us Sept 18-25

Exciting times for those of us who own a copy of Pokemon Black and/or White and live in the United States near a Toys R Us - the illusive Pokemon Zoroark can soon be yours. In conjunction with a month-long celebration of this handsome fox Pokemon, Pokemon Company has just announced a special distribution of a level 50 Zoroark that knows the move Snarl. If you still don't have either a Zoroark or its unevolved form, Zorua, this is a rare chance to get one on your own without trading, because neither of these Pokemon are obtainable via normal gameplay. The download event only runs from September 18 through September 25, so serious Pokemon collectors should plan accordingly.

And those of you who can't participate in the limited-time, geographically-limited distribution, fear not! September is officially Zoroark Month, after all, so Pokemon Company is also re-airing the Zoroark: Master of Illusions on September 17 and 18 via pokemon.com, so you can catch that too in case you missed it when it premiered. Plus, you can enter to win a Zoroark-themed sweepstakes (the official Pokemon site has the details) with 25 prizes given away each week in September, leading up to a grand prize giveaway at the end of the month.
