As lovely as Manaphy is, it's a bit of a chore to obtain. There are only two ways to get a Manaphy (outside of WiFi trading). Lucky fans in Japan had the opportunity to get one when the DVD for the Pokemon movie featuring Manaphy was released. The other way involves beating Pokemon Ranger, entering a special code, and beaming a Manaphy egg to your Pokemon Diamond or Pearl cartridge. As much as we love Diamond and Pearl, we're not as enthusiastic aboutRanger.

The good news for you is that you have the chance to win a Manaphy! All you have🐻 to do is hitfor details. You'll need to answer two questions, give us your friend code, and have a Pokemon ready to trade. We don't even care if you give us a crappy level three Bidoof. We just want you to experience the awesomeness that is Manaphy.

That's all for this edition of Pokemusings. Stay tuned for next week's issue where we'll talk about the shortcomings of Diamond and Pearl's WiFi trading system and we'll be giving away another difficuওlt-to-obtain Pokemo♏n!
