Mystery Gift speculations
Does anybody have any clue as to what the next North American mystery gift is going to be? Any speculations or pokemon/items that you hope to see?
Torchic was a great way to kick off the new mystery gift setup, but I'd definitely like to see the developers utilize the heck out of it. I'd be happy if they stuck to the other starters, but I've been itching to get my hands on a promo-Mew ever since pokemon first came out back in the mid-90s (I was never fortunate enough to make it to an actual event). |

I would assume the next MG will be Latios/Latias with their respective Mega Stones, as was found out in the games data a few months ago.

I had no idea they did a Wi-Fi based MG event back then. Unfortunately when HG/SS came out, I was still rockin' a DS Lite and my home network was not set to WEP (nor did I understand that whole debacle). I'd love to see Latias/Latios with Mega Evolution! I'm amazed that Japan STILL rocks all the exclusives and N.A./Europe don't get nearly half as many special releases. I thought N.A. had a massive Pokemon following (at least enough to warrant more special releases)! |
You could count in the free Celebi that you get when you purchase Pokemon Bank, well, if it DOES come out :/

Yeah im hoping for mega latios or latias next

Well the next distribution is a new item that allows discounts in all the boutiques in the game. I'm hoping its a Key Item that doesn't disappear and that more clothes are released through the new Attractions on the Pokemon Global Link similar to the dream world Pokemon from before.
Wonder if there are other coupons like this to be released later on... |

I thought the discounts were already integrated into the game? Adding more outfits would be a fantastic way to make characters feel more customizable. A big part of why I've been so fond of X/Y is because of the instant network-connectivity and the personalization of the main character, so everyone you can play against/trade with really feels like a totally different character. I'd still rather see another bonus Pokemon. The bank will make all things possible, but there are plenty of promo Pokemon I'm sure we'd all appreciate having a chance to attain. |

Japan tends to get more events simply because they use them as marketing devices to promote buying something, whereas it wouldn't receive as much attention outside of Japan. Most countries rely on games stores for distribution and those are just for free, that's why we never get much. |
Of course we had the special pokemon offered with b/w at Target and b2/w2 at walmart that basically rewarded you for waiting months instead of buying at time of release (which my conspiracy theory is that it was to entice us all to buy second copies of the games)

Wifi Events tend to distribute outside of Japan through Wifi. Some occasions they won't or will but in a different method (like our Garchomp distribution) |
A special Bidoof with intimidate. Hell yeah.

I'm hoping we get AZ's Floette with it's unique colour scheme and access to some exclusive moves and a brand new overpowered yet 3,000 year old ancient ability. Something that cements the pokemon as definitely unique and not from our era. Maybe even a slightly different Base Stat Total or Stat Distribution to show how modern Floette have changed and evolved over time. It better be something really powerful and special though, after all, it's only a tiny little thing that was able to hold it's own against huge ancient pokemon in a war!
I'm also hoping with the worldwide release of X and Y and the internet age, that almost all the events this generation will be available online and for every region simultaneously. There really is no reason to leave specific regions out anymore... |
True that! As you said, region exclusive events should be a no-go. I love receivng special pokemon from those things, and when I see the awesome things JP get, it is just so annoying.
I think mystery gifts should happen more often with less valuable pokemon too - somehting like shiny shuckles, or rare-ish pokemon like magmar ect would go down a treat for me. |
At this point we're 3 days away from Torchic w/Blazikenite becoming removed from the Mystery Gift list. I was really hoping since Nintendo made mystery gift a Wi-Fi feature that we might see another mystery gift pokemon/special item become available right after, but there's been no distribution announcements lately (aside from international distributions).
I would think that simplifying/adding a new feature to the game would inspire Nintendo and GameFreak to actually utilize this feature to the fullest. IT'S NOT BEING USED TO ITS POTENTIAL WHEN ONLY ONE COUNTRY REAPS ALL THE BENEFITS! >_< |
