If Pokéfans head down to their local Toys "R" Us this summer, they could be in for a pleasant surprise...

Celebrating the launch of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, Toys "R" Us stores across the country are hosting a series of Pokémon Summer Day Camps, sponsored by Nintendo. The events will feature playable demos of Pokémon Battle Revolution on the Wii, face painting, goodie bags, and the chance to download the rare Pokémon Mew onto your copy of the game.

The events should be a great place to meet up with other Pokéfans, to battle and trade with others, as well as to collect stamps around the event to pick up the freebie goodies on offer. Apparently, the first 50 to complete each Day Camp will receive something even more extra special...

Gamers wishing to get a Mew must bring along a GBA with either Ruby/Sapphire, FireRed/LeafGreen or Emerald (for some reason it doesn't sound like the Pokémon can be transferred directly onto a DS cartrige).

The Toys "R" Us store tour dates are as follows:

• Glasgow � Helen Street Thursday 2nd August
• Teesside Saturday 4th August
• Leeds Sunday 5th August
• Warrington Monday 6th August
• Liverpool Tuesday 7th August
