I'm in the States, so I'm pretty happy that I'll finally be able to get one. But in all honesty, it does suck that other countries won't get the opportunity. Only a relatively small amount are going to take advantage of this event, compared to Japan and maybe even other countries. I only say that because very, very few people near my location even play Pokemon, let alone go to an event for it. That could be a very different story in other parts of the U.S, though.

Question about this event coming out at McDonald's, will there be any pokemon toys coming out in the kid's meal there as well with this event release? I have been in my local one many times asking about this and not even the managers know about this for the 27th.

I have never done never done an event like this at a public place before. So do I go up to the counter and ask for the code, or do I connect to wifi from there?

Awesome, I'm going to have to take my brother so we can get our Hoopas! To be entirely honest, I have never gotten an event Pokemon that required me to leave my home. But I'm finally going to get one, cause I don't have a Hoopa yet. Also, excuse to get french fries.
|
I have only been to GS to get events outside of my house, but for me that will be alot of trips there to get all of those toys coming out with this event :laugh:
|
This would be my first event pokemon so i am especially excited for this :)
|
I remember having to go to Game Stop every time there was an event for the Gen 4 games. It was both cool and annoying. But, why Mcdonald's? XD
|
Is it possible to get a Hoopa in both X and Y or ORAS, or only one game? I am also worried it might not be every MC Dondlads, in Richmond VA where I live anime is not a big thing.

Is it US only? So close yet so far from me.

Oh wow! An event I can actually receive without driving for an hour! This just made my day ^^ and made my tummy growl..
|
Seeing as this event will be rarer than easily farmed Gamestop events, it will be of worth for me and other redditors from /r/PokemonTrades such as my self. This means that the McHoopa will most likely be worth more than the GAME and perhaps worth more than the Maxsoft Hoopa. I see this as a better way to distribute it.
Also, McNuggets. |
They're hosting it in McDonalds because this is where the vast majority of Nintendo Zones are, I'd wager.

Go there with two games, pick up one on Mystery Gift, trade it over, restart game, rinse and repeat. |

This isn't a distribution by code, though. You simply download it via wireless download. :p
|
I live in south america, so no hoopa for me :/, I wish they gave a code or something for my country :P
|
It will most likely be possible to download Hoopa at home by spoofing your network as being a McDonald's Nintendo Zone hotspot, by giving it a certain SSID ([email protected]) and spoofing your router's mac address (Unsure which mac addresses would be used for this yet.)
It's been done before for various other events, even more recently, for the Pokémon Center shiny Tyranitar in Japan without having to live anywhere near Japan (still need a Japanese 3DS and game, though.) |

To be honest I'm not entirely sure how to do this with a router, I've only ever done it with my wireless card in my PC.
It's the same concept as HomePass. You set up a wireless access point with the same name as the official Nintendo Zone access points, and use mac spoofing programs to spoof your mac address. Your 3DS will be tricked into thinking they are connected to a Nintendo Zone. You can trick your 3DS into thinking it connected to a Nintendo Zone simply by changing your AP's name to attwifi or [email protected], but in order to be able to download Hoopa you'd probably have to have a certain mac address so your 3DS thinks it's connected to a McDonalds access point, and not just any Nintendo Zone. This page has a list of mac addresses for various Nintendo Zone access points, so it should be possible to spoof your router or your wireless card as having that mac address, then use the right SSID, and start up your router or wireless access point to download Hoopa as if you were at McDonalds |

ok, thanks a lot ^^, I don't know a lot about this stuff, but I'll try to do it xD, thanks for the info, didn't know that could be done |
I can't wait!

Serebii has mentioned that this Hoopa event is now active, so if you're in the US visit McDonald's and pick up yours now!
And this may be a bit off-topic, but there's now been another Hoopa event announced for the Scandinavia region. Players in Norway, Finland and Sweden can obtain a serial code from Gamestop stores which they can use to download Hoopa onto their Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire games. This one will be active from December 2015 - January 2016. (Credit goes to Serebii for this) |
