Secret Egg Event Coming to the US!
 
According to Serebii and Pokemon.com, the Secret Egg Giveaway that happened in Japan is now coming over here! From April 27th - May 31st, you'll have the ability to go to Toys 'R' Us, download an egg, and have it hatch into either Cilan's Pansage, Ash's Pidove, or Iris' Axew. This coincides with the new end of the Victini event.

What are your thoughts? Pokemon too common for your tastes? Excited to have a Pokemon that matches the moves and stats of your favorite anime character?

pokewalker April 12th, 2011 7:44 AM

Not really. Useless things, although they have an max. IV at one stat. Maybe I'll use it if it comes to Europe :p

ToWriteLove April 12th, 2011 7:51 AM

I wouldn't mind the Axew, considering it's one of my favorite Pokemon from the set, other than that not really jumping for joy.

Zayin April 12th, 2011 8:01 AM

I'd only like to get Axew as well, the others are useless. Meh, is the event coming to Canada too? =,= They should give the eggs via wi-fi, not stores...

Too bad they're not giving Jessie's Woobat and James' Yamask as well. Or simply Meowth!

TwilightBlade April 12th, 2011 8:18 AM

Yeah... Not gonna drive 30 minutes out of the way to pick up lame anime egg. I haven't followed the anime in forever, lol. :P

They do? Thats awesome. I only wish they had just done it over WiFi and not through Toys R Us... ugh, guess I'll have to park in the parking lot and hope to just get a signal from out there. XD XD

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 12th, 2011 8:23 AM

Sorry, not worth the drive to pick up some anime-inspired Pokemon egg. Especially since I can catch better versions of those same Pokemon in my game.

skyluigi2 April 12th, 2011 8:40 AM

What's the point, really? Just go out and catch one in game instead of driving miles to get an egg.
Really.

Maybe if it was in a store that isn't a 2+ hour drive to get to.

Sydian April 12th, 2011 9:32 AM

Well for starters, I don't live near a TRU. And even if I did, I'd skip this event, just like I did with the Japanese event. I don't care for those Pokemon at all. Too common, plus I don't care for the anime either. So yeah. :P Not in my tastes the first time it was released, and not in my tastes this time! ^-^;

This. Why can't we have the good events come sooner?

pondjohn April 12th, 2011 10:43 AM

dang the only pokemon id be remotely interested in from this is the axew, but would i really want to go through all the work getting it and raising another haxorus? not with the chance i might get a pansage or silly pidove

Nakuzami April 12th, 2011 10:59 AM

I've like never even gone to Toys R Us, so that plus the fact it's a waste to go drive to the closest one (don't even know where that is) and get a really common pokemon with one maxed out IV, makes it a complete waste of time. Screw this event. If it were over Wi-Fi, sure, why not? But it's not, so I won't.

beanzy100000 April 12th, 2011 11:06 AM

complete waste of time. the pokemon are pretty common and i wouldnt use them any.

Influential_Mew April 12th, 2011 11:18 AM

No point. This event is not worth commuting to. I'd rather catch the in-game version of the pokemon than anime. Thanks, but no thanks. Bring on genesect and the others and I'll be happy.

Misheard Whisper April 12th, 2011 11:20 AM

We don't have Toys'R'Us where I live (hell, I live in New Zealand. Toyworld is our only major dedicated toy retailer and afaik they couldn't care less about Pokemon events)

Iris' Axew would be kindas cool to have u_u Especially with that maxed IV . . . hopefully in Attack or Speed.

Ashberto7 April 12th, 2011 11:21 AM

If I lived nearer to a Toys R us I'd actually go to this event, Just to get the event, I wouldn't use it in any way just for trading purposes but there is a problem no one wants it ^^;;

Stormer07 April 12th, 2011 12:56 PM

If I lived near to one I'd bother, but really not worth a 2hr+ drive just to get a common poke with a maxed attack iv stat, if it was Genesect or something I'd bother, but not for this.

Ho-Oh April 12th, 2011 3:26 PM

I'm going to wait until this is distributed over wifi for hopefully Aus/Uk :( Even if I was American, I wouldn't bother going.

Really.

So they can plug the anime, its all just a marketing ploy. That's why they do most events for marketing or too get money in some way.

Victini Liberty Pass event is not good enough as an event?

I am really hoping they do Trade for Evolution events(which was done in Japan in October through November) kind of like they did Jeremy here years ago. Or have Snarl Zoroark event.

Rai April 12th, 2011 5:13 PM

I wouldn't mind getting the Axew or Pansage considering I haven't caught either of them yet. I haven't trained my Pidove but I wouldn't want to abandon it if I get another one through the egg.

So I am hoping for a Pansage or Axew.

AusDon April 12th, 2011 5:16 PM

Bulbapedia says there's nothing special about them.

No different abilities; no moves; nothing.

Mahtale April 12th, 2011 5:31 PM

I will most likely participate in this event, simply for the sake of "having one". It's only a 20 minute drive, and it's in fact very close to where I attend school; really, it'd be lazy for me not to. Besides, while they may be common Pokemon, events are always fun for me.

Same here, and there's a TRU at a mall nearby and my mom goes there a lot so I might as well just tag along and get myself an egg for the heck of it.

The Corrupt Plague April 12th, 2011 9:50 PM

I would kill for a Haxorus with maxed out IV's but unfortunately, the nearest Toys R' Us is over an hour away. I'm skipping this one.

Rionix April 12th, 2011 9:53 PM

Grrr... Only for US again :s

I really want to have one of those but I can't.. No Toys 'R Us here dammit!

Logan_AT April 12th, 2011 9:54 PM

My ToysRUs is probably not going to host the event--they didn't do the Ash's Pikachu event so I'm not optimistic that they'll hold this one, either. Meh.

Agreeing. It doesn't make any sense because isn't it supposed to hatch into (SPOILER) anyway.

The Nightmare April 12th, 2011 11:31 PM

I would rather get the other pokemon than axew and pidove but you guys are lucky to have it :(

PlatinumDude April 13th, 2011 1:56 AM

Because I'm not in the US, I won't be able to access this event. If I could access the event, however, I'd try to go for the Axew. The other 2 Pokemon don't appeal to me.

Cataclysmic April 13th, 2011 6:08 AM

Yeah, no thanks. Considering the closest TRU (which was still 45 miles or so away) closed a few years ago, I can't justify driving almost 2 hours to get that. Should have been a Wifi event. :/

Shadow236 April 13th, 2011 7:28 AM

These pokemon don't really interest me, only Axew basically. But it's kind of disappointing how common they are.

marcc5m April 14th, 2011 3:10 PM

Hopefully when this comes to the UK, it'll be a Wi-fi event.
I want these guys for my anime teams.

Nateon April 14th, 2011 3:25 PM

I picked up an egg on my japanese file and it was Pidove, i only want Kibago/Axew and if it's a Toys R Us only if/when it comes to UK then i'll just consider -- or hope one of the two game files i have will grab it

blue April 14th, 2011 4:29 PM

Great! I've been waiting for this for a while now :D

hiff8 April 30th, 2011 7:13 AM

I won't intentionally go get these eggs i mean the axew might be cool and pansage is always sick but they don't know any kool move you cant get anywhere else. I might pull off a drive by if i happen to be driving near a toys R' us thats what i did with celibi with gamestop i was actully on my way home from vacation and it was the last day of the event it was epic.:bandit:

pokecole April 30th, 2011 7:47 AM

For me the nearest TRU is about a two hour drive, and i already caught an axew and obviously a pidove... and honestly with my luck i'd just get a pidove, so yeah i'm not even remotely thinking about this one bring on genesect that thing is gonna be awesome!

NamelessGuy April 30th, 2011 1:12 PM

Although I live in one of the biggest suburban areas in the US, I strangely don't live near a TRU. Driving a couple hours out of my way just to obtain two Pokemon I've already caught is a bit pointless.

Rai April 30th, 2011 2:22 PM

My friend and I are going to tomorrow :3 I hope I don't get the Pidove! x.x

Hectic April 30th, 2011 5:03 PM

I plan on getting it for collection purposes. Whatever 2 I don't recieve I'll obtain from my clan mates.

FreakDude April 30th, 2011 5:46 PM

It would be better if you could get it using wifi. i would just like to get them for trading/collection purposes only.so yeah i dont care that much if i wont get it.

Legendary Silke April 30th, 2011 5:47 PM

Hmm... I think I'll be getting them off someone else because I know I can't reach the events by myself. I do hope that I end up with an Axew!

.Aero April 30th, 2011 6:24 PM

I'm not going to waste my time to get three pokemon that I can get ingame with better stats and natures to be honest. xD Call me picky, but Pidove, really? >.<

Vrai May 1st, 2011 1:38 AM

I was down at the mall with my friends so we figured "why not" and picked ours up.

...no one got an Axew, and everyone got Pansage but me and my other friend who got useless Pidove. At least it has Big Pecks. ;)

Jdwg1337 May 1st, 2011 1:46 PM

no importance in getting this event, but i'll get it for the sake of getting it i guess.

belar May 2nd, 2011 9:05 AM

Well, my son and I got our eggs yesterday from TRU. This is my first Pokemon game, and first egg. Hopefully it won't take me too much walking around to hatch.

My son tried to tell me that it would hatch after one hour of game time. I think he was pulling my leg.

Pika99 May 2nd, 2011 10:32 AM

and for euroope you don´t now when came??

ElectricScyther May 2nd, 2011 3:18 PM

Totally pointless to send out an event where you just get some ultra-common, ultra-weak pokemon that for all I care you could catch without having to drive fifteen minutes and download.

Ho-Oh May 2nd, 2011 3:33 PM

Nothing has been announced yet, so no. The only other country that has had this is Japan which was about last October or so.

Crystalized May 2nd, 2011 3:37 PM

Still no Australia, but I don't want it anyway. At least we had Victini.

belar May 5th, 2011 8:13 AM

Well, I hatched a Pidove. Yay?

Rai May 5th, 2011 8:33 AM

I got me a Pansage :3 I am really glad since I hadn't caught one in the wild yet.
