Manaphy is a special Pokemon that you won't be able to find normally in Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl; until now, the only way you could snag it was to find a Manaphy egg in Pokemon Ranger and transfer it over. But now there's another way to get the Legendary Pokemon: on September 29 between noon and 3pm, head to a participating Toys "R" Us store in the United States to obtain a special Manaohy that you can't find anywhere else. Bring your copy of Pokemon Diamond or Pokemon Pearl into the store to download a Manaphy just like the one in the latest movie, Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. The Pokemon will be holding a Red Scarf like the one in the animated feature, and it will be enclosed in a Cherish Ball - a Poke Ball that is not otherwise available when playing Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. When you release a Pokemon from the Cherish Ball, a colorful animation appears. Manaphy is also the only Pokemon to have the move Heart Swap, which allows it to switch all stat modifications with an enemy. Don't miss this opportunity to get such a rare Pokemon!

Hurray! I went to the Mew Download last September, let me assure you, this is worth it, but you may have to wait in line for hours.....
I HAVE NOT been able to find any information yet on pokemon-games.com or toysrus.com, but as soon as I can get any more information, I'll let everyone know.
In case you don't want to read all that, or you just want the details, here they are:
Go to a participating Toys "R" Us in the US on September 29th between 12pm and 3pm (From my experiance, get there early to wait for a shorter time, DO NOT GO LATE! They won't let you in) to download a Manaphy holding a Red Scarf. (Also from my experiance, this may be an actual 'download' in which case you will need an empty space in your party, or it may be a Trade, for which you will need a Pokemon, any one will do, to trade to a game carteridge for it.)
Any questions, just ask me.
UPDATE: Pokemon.com info No news yet on pokemon-games.com or toysrus.com. If I don't have more info by this Saturday, I plan to call my local Toys R Us for details.
