Downloadable game character with unique ability available on February 12

Gaming news website Siliconera reported on Wednesday that The Pokémon Company will give away the character Mewtwo as an internet download to owners of Pokémon Black and Pokémon White Nintendo DS games in North America starting on February 12.

According to the giveaway page, the downloaded version of Mewtwo will include a move that the character can't normally learn. Siliconera noted that the event appears to be identical to a Japanese giveaway of the character that occurred last year. The Mewtwo included in the Japanese giveaway was at level 70 and carried a King's Rock, and came with the moves Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere and Electro Ball.

The official page notes that further information will be made available "soon."
