Streetpass? Seriously??? Looks like I'll be trading up for a Latias/Latios on the GTS.

They are obviously biased thinking every country works like japan where you could get 1000 daily streetpasses. Good thing spotpass exist for me since I get to see people by internet since theres not much people playing pokemon around or any huge event, I can't even go to an EBGame because I live too far from it.

 

[εcho.]

I guess for this, I'll just have to start taking my DS with me all over the place.

I get a decent number of Streetpasses when I take it on campus with me, so that's the only way I could possibly foresee myself having a chance at this ticket.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I wonder if on streetpass day next year if one goes to a Hot zone or what ever they are called such as Mcdonalds or Best Buy (as US examples) if one may end up getting the Eon Ticket that way.
I have a feeling that the Flying Lati is the event Lati as the trailers show an area similar to Southern Island...

They've already said that it isn't the same one. From the Ruby/Sapphire website:

The Eon Pokémon Latios and Latias are said to be highly intelligent. In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Latios will approach you to join your party, while Latias approaches you in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.

From the announcement earlier today:

If you want an Eon Ticket—the item in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire that will allow you to catch Latias and Latios, respectively

It's going to be like how it was in the original games, with one being available in game and the other through the Eon Ticket Event. I guess it could be possible that you go to Southern Island in both cases, though.

Thanks for that. Now I want to know where that place in the trailer may be...perhaps part of the Battle Resort? The waterfall by the Weather Institute?

 

[Harmonious Fusion]

What a time to be an introvert with social anxiety. In a small-ish town.

 

[Mark Kamill]

Homepass surely will get around this, right? RIGHT?

 

[Liberal Army]

It's Southern Island. The waterfalls comprehend with the waterfalls seen on a screenshot in which the player was just brought to Southern Island.

It has also been announced that in the US, Serial Codes for the Eon Ticket will be given to Play! Pokémon Organisers and heads of StreetPass groups from November 21st. From there, the Eon Ticket can be StreetPassed to other players.

Does anybody know who these 'Play! Pokémon' organizer guys are so that we can figure out which areas of the United States are most likely to have Eon Tickets falling from the skies above them? Is there a list of who these guys are or anything?

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I mean for the version exclusive Lati, not the event Lati. The place Steven appears in with the player.

 

[Altairis]

The wording makes it sound like the respective Lati twin is just like the Lucario in XY, a Pokemon that just asks to join your party instead of one that you have to find and capture. I know that they probably want people to be able to access flying more easily, but it's literally just handing us a super rare Pokemon. oh well. Also I live in a big city and have only really streetpassed someone once so I don't know how well this is going to work out. Does anyone know what Play! Pokemon is?

 

[blue]

That's our compensation for receiving the games a week later than everywhere else. Roll on Latis. 8)

 

[Harmonious Fusion]

Does anyone know what Play! Pokemon is?

They run TCG events and things of that nature.

 

[Cerberus87]

Elaborating on the Brazil thing: 3DSes are expensive in Brazil. Especially the XL. So not everyone has them.

Personally I don't care about the Eon Ticket because I don't care about Latias. ^^

 

[curiousnathan]

Any news on Australian distribution?

Currently no news about an Australian leg of the event as far as I'm aware, but I'll be paying attention to Serebii in coming days or weeks and let you know if such an event is announced for the region.

 

[MarinoKadame]

I wonder how the ORAS anime will work and if it will include Ash.

 

[Hikamaru]

I wonder how the ORAS anime will work and if it will include Ash.

I think it'll be a special like Pokemon Origins, featuring only game-originated characters. So Ash probably won't show up in this special, but dang May looks so adorable. But that is out of the question.

 

[Cerberus87]

I wonder how the ORAS anime will work and if it will include Ash.

Anime won't go back to Hoenn if past remakes are any indication. PokéSpe on the other hand...
