Fight for the DW Starters!
 
http://serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworldpokemon.shtml

We all know that the Japanese have got the Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh starters, we all know how everyone wants Speed Boost Torchic or Chlorophyll Bulbasaur, and we ALL know that people outside of Japan haven't gotten them. Why? Why haven't we gotten the DW Starters yet? Is it Pokemon giving exclusives to people in Japan? Are they going to try and surprise us? Are they ever going to release them at all? Voice your opinions.

they will release the starters soon hopefully, but I think it will come out next year or at a special event this year.

Ho-Oh November 30th, 2011 5:49 AM

Yeah I dunno, I figure it would be fun for all of us to have them but unless there's reason to give them out (aka maybe R/S starters on R/S anniversary & Johto/Kanto at some point idk) then chances are they won't do it randomly. There's also the fact that they're eventually going to have to release Unova Pokemon with hidden abilities and when that does occur then maybe they might do something with the starters for all of us. :x

Japan hates the rest of the world. That's why we don't have the starters. =( At least it feels that way... ugh speed boost Blaziken is amazing LOL

I would've liked it if the US got the DW starters right at this moment, but I think that GameFreak may make them a hidden surprise as an event.

Japan keeps like 70% of all Downloadable events and stuff like that to themselves cause it makes them more money there. There isn't much point spending money to enhance things in places you don't make much money when you'd end up wasting more money than you'd earn.

The issue are the players who are always "Well its to far for me to go out and download!" or "Its stupid they make this download only! They should make it easier to get!" <--Most of the time its cause people are generally lazy and don't want to do anything that doesn't benefit themselves more than a pat on the back.

Out of Japan Pokemon is a small hobby like reading a book. Pokemon gets more publicity, have more fans, and is more of a small fan club in Japan (There really ARE actual fan club bases and some "teams" in Japan just for Pokemon devoted people.)

Its the level of want. Internationally as a whole, we don't produce good enough numbers to have heavy support.

I wish we did produce the numbers but it's odd at my college I see more people playing now because a group of my friends play quite often there. I really do hope they are released, mainly for my friend who is dying for a DW Typhlosion and I wouldn't mind some of them either.

japan always gets the good stuff T______T

I think we should petition or something, to show them that we want our dream world Pokemon!

Webdemon December 14th, 2011 12:28 PM

We'll get 'em...Eventually....But for now...We'll just sit tight!

Ciax December 14th, 2011 12:33 PM

I reckon becvause Japan gets the games first they get the events first. Then we get 'em later. They have to release them eventually, it's just a matter of time. Eventually every pokemon will be released with their dream world ability.

I don't use DW all that much, but special starters would be nice. I've heard good things about Blaziken and Speed Boost.

It wouldn't bother me if the United States did not get the dream world starters because I rarely use dream world anyways. But for some odd reason, I don't think we are going to end up getting these starters because I think we should have gotten them by now. We may end up getting played over again (the first being Pokemon Mystery Dungeon for the Wii).

Japan hates the rest of the world. That's why North America, Europe, Australia and South Korea have had Pokémon games specifically translated for them and had event Pokémon targeted at them.

"Hate" is a strong word, and Japan definitely doesn't hate nor dislike us.
I believe that it is up to Nintendo of (insert respective region here) to release a Dream World event Pokémon, since I doubt Nintendo of Japan handles the other region Global Links.
