I'll admit this is somewhat crazy, but I guess it may have to do with how Japan was where Pokémon stemmed from. It is true though, I do wish we could get some of those events alongside them. Possibly in due time.

I will never, ever understand why people are so bothered that a Japan gets cool stuff in a Japanese game.

I agree with the two above, Tetra and shenanigans.
Pokémon originated from Japan, it's audience is a LOT bigger there. It's no surprise they got more than us, and I'm fine with them getting more stuff. |
It's just the way it is, and has been for a long time. To be fair though it does seem like the international release of events has increased over the last few years.
|
It's true, Japan gets more because they are the home of Pokemon.
However, the one thing that bugs me lately is the events mainly being one-use codes, and it's always hard to even get said codes in the first place. I remember reading someone on Tumblr explain the pros and cons of the system in general. |

I don't know who handles the events, but it's probably Nintendo, and they don't seem to care about the Western market as much. A pity really. |

I actually am missing the Gen V way of doing events...and I didn't like that they just handed them to you or made you have to go to a GameStop or other place, but at least they were more widely available...

I fine cloning to be cheating and taking the fun out for it. I don't mind this myself since it makes them even more rare fun and that more rewarding if you find someone who has it and is willing to trade. Same for Amiibos. I like the hunting.

Well on top of getting and Arceus with it's 18 different forms (IE, with one of it's plates or 1 with no plate) this Arceus is ALSO no longer shiny locked! https://www.facebook.com/PokemonGlobalNews?fref=photo

Sadly this is currently how GF is working now :/
Since japan is were theyre located and will stay in the future USA and other countries are bound to not receive as much as japan will get. Also they have the pokemon movies before us and in theaters plus events and such. Oh and movie posters, and limited collectibles, and entire shops for pokemon stuff. Exactly what do we have? Aha it really seems they get everything but idk move to japan one day for that purpose your life will be happier haha. I do wish that we had some of the cool things they have though. :/ |
scumfreak favors japan and says screw everyone else./ hope one day scumtendo or scumfreak goes out of business. i'd be real happy

I agree with all of you people but remember, the US ain't the only ones who should get these stuff.

Nintendo tries to create scarcity, sometimes in bad ways that actually hurt them by costing them money or giving someone else free claim to, say, $180. |
It's just a bit frustrating, that's all. Of course the location where the game started off is going to get more events and bonuses - I don't think that we should get exactly the same treatment but at least some equality? For example, I'm pretty sure we've had an Arceus event somewhat recently but not Jirachi for a while. I don't know how practical it is to release a Wifi or serial code event to a certain area, though. Like... Pokemon's "main audience" is 10 year old boys or around that age but they're technically not allowed to join forums and some of them aren't technically savvy or know that they can break the rules and join :P Or where they would even go to find a Jirachi because when they search "How to get a Jirachi" on Google nothing comes up. So, the reason my brother has a Jirachi is because I was able to trade for it myself and not having events (even though us members can probably trade for it) kinda excludes a large group of people.

Yeah, this is kind of sad but in reality that's what happens, not much we can really do about it as that's how they want to run their events.
|
I have PowerSaves anyway, so I think I'm fine...
|
Going to merge these two Arceus threads :D
|
Tsk this is such a lowly argument...
PEOPLE! THINK! This is a PROMOTIONAL EVENT to PROMOTE THE MOVIE. Does the movie being released in your country? No. The sad fact is that most people are not in to Pokemon as we are. Nintendo is not gonna released something, pay up the taxes for international releases and fail, because after the Pokemon Movie 2000 demography gradually flopped. They only dub the movies for DVD releases~ Exactly why they only released Shiny Genesect Event in Japan and Korea. So this Arceus is probably going to get released in Korea soon too. Do you guys even know how much people in Japan actually pre-order the tickets to get these events? Or even how many people in Japan don't miss the events? No. Most people there are more into studying than playing, yes... Even sometimes missing events that lasts like 2-3 weeks or something. It's comparatively small. I mean it's not hard to prove this since it is VERY RARE for a Japanese player to even be using Mythicals in Free Battle, and if they are, most is cheated since you will see them carrying an all shiny mythical pokemons, or just simply all rare mythical event poks. Yes, they also sell Japanese Powersaves, but hacking is not as gritty **** as hackings on other countries. The PokeScrap Event campaign was set up for this to make it easier for people to get events from their shop rather than buying those Magazines. You guys seem to have an ignorant notion that everyone that plays Pokemon in Japan lives in cities that sells CoroCoro Magazines, like Tokyo... Tsk... Look... I am not strongly against hacking since it's how a person uses the pokemon, it's not like I run away everytime I see a team full of shinnies. I just I don't appreciate them. Besides... Does your country even take Pokemon seriously as much as Japan? No. Businesses, Holidays AND landmark sites are promoted in Japan more so with Pokemon than any other country, this will explain exclusive pokemon with special moves like the elusive Shinkansen Extremespeed Pika, which I also legitimately own back when I was in Japan.*Have European and Japanese Console and games* Other examples include the Airline which had one of their planes decorated its exterior with Pokemon, promoting their airline with a Fly Pikachu and also the very prominent Tanabata Jirachis every year. The only business I remember doing an event with Pokemon outside Japan was that Australian Theme Park opening and gave Event Darkrai or Arceus, etc. I mean it's easy enough to connect with them since their is a huge option tag in their official website if anyone is setting up an event they want a Pokemon Event to connect with. If you guys want japanese events soooo much then buy the Japanese console/games versions. Do not even make the excuse of them being expensive. Yen have been commonly cheaper than dollars, so buying them, including shipment should be cheaper or with just a smidget of difference from one you buy off in your shop, from official sites or like eBAY. *Only looking at America for this one* Most Japanese events are through shared codes, but you may have problem getting movie promoted serial downloads without Japanese connections etc. etc.~ HACKING ANYTHING IS WRONG AND UNLAWFUL. HACKING CAN NEVER BE JUSTIFIED, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE DO NOT LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. So if you guys want to blame anyone... Blame you country's population for not being in to Pokemon. Wait and be legit in playing A GAME not designed for anyone to hack and take advantage on. People in Mii, *mostly* that hacks seem to like the feeling of being high and mighty, doing giveaway and asking for 500 follows*WTF?!* Hacking never has done anything that actually lasts and just makes, most times, toxic people. |

Hey guys Im updating this from my previous post to say that those of you who have powersaves they added a code for the Arceus event for the movie, It has the shiny form and all types on there. |

Generator makers/coders are actually ripping off Datel's work... And Datel is ripping off Pokemon by hacking it in the first place... See how messed up what people follow these days? Tsk... That shiny Arceus I just finished SR'ed 2-3 days ago for about 3-4 days your gonna have all perfect... Wow... I am not strongly against it... But just wow... I guess... |

To your other comment I would believe you that you soft resetted If you could actually obtain Arceus in X/Y and ORAS but the fact that you cant tells me something else. The movie event Arceus hasnt been released yet not even in Japan as far as I know. |
