Can't access this event here in the Philippines so I won't get it unless there's an event distribution or someone would trade it to me which is near impossible. Hope a serial code comes out soon. :(

Btw, this event starts today! Anybody planning on going out to McDonald's today to grab your Hoopa? :) |
any way for me to access this in the uk?

You can get more than one too, one for each game you have, so I got two Hoopas, and both have three perfect IVs as well, one of them has all it's IVs over 26 too |
does anyone know if the hoopa is nature locked, if it can be fixed with synchronize, or if my ralts is just defective?
|
I went to McDonalds and only got one for the 6 games I have, their net was running slow or some thing and I did get to get 2 of the toys, got a kyogre and lugia.

I'm pretty sure this event would be region-locked, so even if you were to connect to a Nintendo Zone in a McDonalds from USA, with an european 3DS and game, you probably wouldn't be able to download it. :/ In the event that it actually isn't region-locked, then you -should- be able to spoof your network card's mac address and broadcast an access point using a certain SSID to trick your 3DS into thinking you connected to a Nintendo Zone in a McDonalds in the USA which should let you download it. But if it is region-locked, that wouldn't help much. By the way, I don't know if that would be allowed here, but if it is, given that I have access to editing my save file, I could get the Wondercard and pick up a few to give away to some of you who can't get it. All I ask is that you keep it for your personal collection only, unless you let the other person know where it came from and they are okay with it. |
Yeah I got 5 of them today, so it's pretty cool.
If you can't/don't want to go to McDonalds for whatever reason, this will work for people in the U.S. and Canada to get the Hoopa from home. |
Got mine, and made sure to snag the unused Wondercard from my Alpha Sapphire save just in case I want more. Wasn't too hard, and I didn't even leave my house to do it; the trick Fun Size linked works well... ;)
|
Thanks for the info. I'll make sure to get my Hoops. However, I doubt the McDonalds near me will have this. They aren't the best McDonalds in my area if you catch my drift.

Can also confirm it does :3 Spoiler:
(Don't try Connectify, it won't work; at least I don't think so. I had to use my phone's wireless tethering. Link says it has to be an access point with no security and Connectify only supports WPA2.) |

If you can change the settings on your wireless router and set the name to "McDonalds Free WiFi" with no password, you can download the Hoopa from the comfort of your own home. Or if you have the ability to create your own wireless AP, from your phone or whatever, you can do that too. Or if you can't do any of it, I can do it and trade the Hoopa over to you if you want. |

Actually, I'll try make a network named like that except with WPA2 encryption and I'll see if it works too. Edit: So I just tried, it has to be a network with no encryption, otherwise the game doesn't find a gift on Mystery Gift, even if the network name is changed to "McDonalds Free WiFi" |

I'm a bit confused about this event. I've tried to do a test run of opening up the "Nintendo Zone" program on my 3DS before I make a trip to Mickie D's, and I get an error message that says "This service has been discontinued. Thank you for using this service." I've never connected to their wifi before, and I'm just really confused as to how this works. Do I just need to connect to their wifi like I would at any other hotspot or do I need to use the Nintendo Zone program to do it?
Thanks in advance guys. |

Sucks for me, as I live in Australia. We don't get all these specials half of the time, or when we do, it's like already been a month or two after every other country gets them...

I also plan to go there frequently for a while to collect all the toys <3 Yesterday I got a Groudon :P http://i.imgur.com/9TzX2b5.png I'm really loving this- going to McDonalds, getting some tasty food while getting free Pokémon and Pokémon toys on the side? This is the life {XD} |
Tried it from the parking lot, but couldn't get good enough connection. Went inside to eat some nuggets then and got two. One with crappy Defense per the Stat Checker, but hey, it's Hoopas # 4 and 5 for me so I'm not picky. If I noticed they had Pokemon toys, I would've gotten one.
|
I got the Hoopa event done when I went to McDonalds for lunch today. I then left my 3DS in sleep mode after doing so.

Australians seem to be getting shafted lately, because we are the last region that will be getting Super Mystery Dungeon (it's only a day after Europe but still we are last and that sucks) and now being shafted with the Hoopa events. |

And i know this would be more suited for the discussion topic, but I figured I'd use that as an example to get my point across. |
