Only the mega stones will be given via serial code, the pokemon themselves are given out via wifi. What is the deal with all these pokemon being given out that are just totally normal pokemon? No special abilities, moves or secret items, just pokemon you can get in the game normally anyway.

Oh, of course, the part of the distribution that I'd want is serial codes but the part I don't is WiFi....
*sigh*
I'm not exactly happy with the state of Gen 6 events so far either. The only good ones so far were the Torchic+Blazikenite one and the Fancy Vivillon one, imo. IDK why they're doing so many ones that aren't WiFi and/or aren't global. And like you said, most of 'em aint that special.

I know that it's still kinda early in X/Y's life, but that excuse grows thinner each day.....

 

[Cyclone]

Yeah, the Heracross event means diddly to me. I already have a 6IV in a Level Ball with four Egg Moves. Beat that, Gamefreak! BEAT THAT!

Ahem.

Anyway, yeah, gimme the stone. That's all I want. EB better be getting this.

That must be a new move. It's not on Bulbapedia yet.

And FTR, I want this Jirachi.

I'm shuddering to have this Jirachi!!

You have to go back a bit on the BulbaNews thing to find it. The article was put up on July 11th, it seems.

Apparently the Jirachi is gonna come with the moves Wish, Swift, Healing Wish, and Moonblast.

Who cares? It's a SHINY JIRACHI.

Granted, the image used on the news bit perhaps should have been something like this instead:

 

[Nah]

Yeah, they should've used that image instead.

Too bad its only going to be distributed at one Pokemon Center in Japan....

Don't worry, it will be cloned and offered for a king's ransom everywhere. If I ever get my hands on it, I swear I'm going to clone and Wonder Trade a few of them just to see people post reactions (I hope). Maybe I'll keep a few for random passers-by claiming to want Jirachi.

Also, I suggested the image to SnorlaxMonster.

Unless these promotions have max IVs in every stat, I don't really see what's so special about it (if they weren't shiny, which admittedly would be interesting). Not to mention you can get the other exclusive in Friend Safaris, so it's not very exciting at all (to me, anyway).

 

[Hiatus]

Yeah, I'm on the same boat as Stargazer here. Plus, I already have both of these Pokémon, with one being shiny (Heracross). What I'm more excited about is Jirachi; have been waiting to get a hold of it for ages, haha. Did have one in Platinum, but forgot to transfer before trading the game in, sadly.

This event is actually a good thing because Pinsir and Pinsirite are exclusive to X, while Heracross and Heracronite are exclusive to Y. This event flips it so that X players get Heracross and Heracronite, while Y players get Pinsir and Pinsirite. This is so that people won't waste time asking people to trade for their version-exlusive Mega Stones.

But my only gripe about this event is why don't Heracross and Pinsir have Rock Blast and Quick Attack, respectively? I know they're egg moves and all, but those moves are crucial to them. Ah, well; that's what breeding is for.

I think it's ridiculous that it's only being offered in one store in only one region. They really could have used this opportunity to distribute the Jirachi everywhere and educated people about the holiday that inspired the Pokemon, but nope! Not even everyone who celebrates the holiday gets the Pokemon.

 

[Cyclone]

Good news.

I probably shouldn't say this too loud. I'll start getting endless requests. So I'll say it quietly.

Spoiler:

I GOT A SHINY JIRACHI!

Quiet enough? ;)

But seriously, I have limited friend room, I can't add everyone for that. But I will definitely be cloning and sharing it. Heck, I received and cloned it a dozen times, sending 11 total back, before I could keep mine. {XD}

 

[Salzorrah]

I don't get why there arent many WiFi events, and this one happens to be crap. >.>
