Arceus being released with the new movie!
 
So apparently Arceus will be released for Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby in Japan for the upcoming movie: https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t31.0-8/10958314_10153184571401535_7175853696468079041_o.jpg

I know I'm certainly excited for it, how about everyone else? So with this, Japan has given out gen 6 versions of Darkrai, Jirachi, Keldeo, Shaymin Victini, Shiny Rayquaza, and now Arceus and Hoopa and all we have gotten in North America (legendary wise) is Diancie, Celebi and Latios/Latias (if we were lucky during Street Pass) so are you going to try and score english versions Arceus when it finally gets released in Japan or just wait and hope Gamefreak gets their act together and start releasing versions in your region? Other regions are already 5 legendaries behind Japan (6 if you count the shiny Rayquaza) and come this summer it will be 7 ( or 8, as per previous note) do you think our legendaries will be coming some time, or do you think this is going to ONLY be Japan events and that's it? None of them (besides Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion) will ever be released outside Japan?

Well this is exciting. I really hope they distribute this for US, I hate how Japan gets all the good stuff.

Off-topic, but I think we may get Darkrai soon because the UK is getting a Darkrai through serial code from GAME starting the 13th. Hopefully that will come over to the US as well.

That would be fantastic! I hope that's true! I just checked Serebii and Darkrai is still not listed anywhere for areas outside Japan, but they do list Arceus: http://www.serebii.net/events/2015.shtml sadly they're STILL releasing it at level 100. I wish they would release it at level 80 or something, I hate getting a pokemon at max level already.

Oh where did you hear about the Darkrai?

Yeah I noticed that, they should add it to the list soon because it was from Serebii that I saw it.

On Serebii, which is pretty much the most reliable site for news.

Oblox February 12th, 2015 1:43 AM

Nice, ill try and swing by a GAME store at the weekend!

Mark Kamill February 12th, 2015 2:21 AM

I, uh, Sinnoh Confirmed? Nah, nah, lets not be crazy. But still, Arceus was not a Mirage Legendary, so I wonder what's up.

Well I wouldn't read too much into it, Darkrai was given out at the Diancie movie, but it wasn't in that movie at all, nor had anything to do with anything

blue February 12th, 2015 2:55 AM

This is interesting, I can't remember the last time they distributed Arceus! Either way I'm hoping this is event is later distributed outside of Japan, I'd love to get my hands on this one.

Nah February 12th, 2015 5:03 AM

The thing is, if they do distribute it outside of Japan, it'll probably be for when the Hoopa movie shows in theaters in the US/Europe/Australia/etc and we'll probably have to do the same thing: pre-order tickets and go to the movie in order to redeem the code needed to get it. I'm not up for that.

I'm glad though that they're doing an Arceus distribution though, it's one of my favorite legendaries and there hasn't been an event for it in almost 3 years now. I probably won't be getting this one, but that's okay. While Blast Burn and Hydro Cannon are moves it's never had before, I don't really care for them on an Arceus anyway.

What I'm really curious about is which other legendaries they're going to give out in addition to Arceus and Hoopa. PLEASE GIVE OUT ZEKROM AND GIVE IT A COUPLE OF GOOD MOVES IT NEEDS IT

Pendraflare February 12th, 2015 11:41 AM

Oh wow, an Arceus event? This is nice.

Although i'm not personally bothered by it being Level 100, at least since we can EV train from that level in this generation. And I too heard about the Darkrai event that the UK is getting and hope that comes over here sometime.

Has a pokemon movie ever been released in theatres in North America in just over a decade though? The last movie I only saw on TV because I happened to be flipping by, I didn't even see an ad for it on the channel it was on or anything. And Darkrai was given out in Japan as the preorder bonus for the Diancie movie, but that movie didn't get released in theatres here so I'm not sure the Hoopa movie is going to get released in theatres here either

Tek February 12th, 2015 1:17 PM

Okay guys I'm moving to japan in July seeya

I thought that the Pokemon movies came to North America, albeit in a select few theaters, but I could be wrong about that.

As far as I know not since Pokemon Heroes did a pokemon movie get released in theatres. They're all straight to DVD, athough I'm in Canada so maybe in the states there are places that do it, but the way it usually goes is you see the DVD for the latest pokemon movie in store shelves, then a few weeks to a couple months later it just appears on YTV (and as of last year, Teletoon) usually right after, right before or instead of whatever pokemon series episode is playing that saturday at noon.

In Other News, Japan Gets all the Cool Stuff
 
Bit of an old article, but I didn't see any other mention of it:

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Arceus,_Legendary_Pok%C3%A9mon_to_be_distributed_to_promote_18th_movie

Why come I don't get a guaranteed 3IV Arceus 3:

tnfsf11 March 4th, 2015 12:10 PM

Just GameFreak being... GameFreak.

Maybe they think the Western audience is losing interest? Anyhow I hope they don't mind me getting one by my own methods. ;)

Dracowyn March 4th, 2015 12:17 PM

Well unfortunately that's how it always goes.
Japan gets all the good stuff. North America gets less, PAL region gets the leftovers.

Belldandy March 4th, 2015 12:18 PM

It's OK. Someone else'll get one, clone it and spread it around :pink_tongue: WiFi and Internet has really made these special events less painful.

Bounsweet March 4th, 2015 12:19 PM

Japan has always gotten the coolest exclusive events, for like ever now :(

Even back in Crystal Version, it was impossible for anyone but Japan to get the Ilex Forest Celebi. We did get all of those e-cards in Gen III which were amazing, but for the most part since then Japan has always gotten the most and best events.

Volga March 4th, 2015 12:21 PM

I have a friend that moved to japan for a job a few years ago, so he usually gets them and clones me one, so it's not a problem for me.

But I agree they should give out more events in the US, especially ones like these.

If you think that's bad were you aware Japan also got (within the past year) gen 6 versions of Darkrai, Shiny Jirachi, Keldeo, Shaymin, Victini and Shiny Rayquaza and we haven't gotten ANY of them? (let alone Arceus) How annoying is that? I mean, if you're diligent enough you can find cloners online who hav not only cloned teh events, but cloned english versions of them (because a Japanese game, if started in English, will have english named Event pokemon. Teh Trainer ID will still be in Japanese, but the name is the important part)

KillerTyphlosion March 5th, 2015 1:28 AM

I find this complete BS. Why does japan get everything? Its just data. Why waste money on making those stupid code cards that more than half of the world have trouble getting? Why not release every event pokémon via wifi? Okay I get that some pokémon should be gotten via movies/events. In my country they don't even have the pokémon movies in the cinema's anymore. At least not in the town I live in. Why make it so hard for everyone outside japan?

I don't think GF has anything to do with this. They probably have enough work as is, creating the next games.

It's really sad, but there's nothing we could do about it. Maybe someday, Nintendo realizes that they don't need to be so Japan centric.

to make everyone want them, really. Years ago when gen 3 was new, if someone got a shiny Metagross is was spectacular, amazing, people were envious because it looked so cool. Fast Forward to when ORAS was released 4 months ago and quite literally EVERYONE who owns the game can get a shiny metagross (or beldum, but eventually a metagross) and now they're pretty ho hum. Same thing would happen with the event legendaries. Something that is only given out at a movie release or a specific pokemon event in real life has people clamouring for it, trying to get their own, wanting it so badly because they can't have it. Would there be that level of excitement and desire if everyone who owned the game just automatically got an Arceus? When was the last time you heard anyone in the last 4 months asking for a Deoxys the way they used to? Not at all I would assume since everyone who owns ORAS gets a Deoxys.
