Details about the Pokémon Village Fête events being held in the UK have been announced. You can also get hold of legendary Pokémon Regigigas at the event, the only place you'll be able to catch the 486th Pokémon. With this special Regigigas in your party in Pokémon Platinum, you may stumble across Registeel, Regice and Regirock during your adventure.

As well as this exclusive Pokémon download, there will be face painting, balloon modelling and you can even have your photo taken with your favourite Pokémon character.

Those of you new to Pokémon can also enroll in the Training Academy, where you'll be taught the essential skills to become a successful Pokémon Trainer. Once your training is complete you'll be ready to enter the Challenge Zone where you can battle opponents using Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

You can also bring your Nintendo DS console and transfer your battle-ready Pokémon onto the big screen and battle in 3D Colosseums in Pokémon Battle Revolution on Wii.
