All Event Pokemon to be released this year!
http://www.serebii.net/events/2016.shtml
http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml But they're all at level 100 (which I hate! Stop doing that, jerks! ;-) ) even Mew which is weird since it only knows Pound. But anyway, I have been collecting the Japanese, Hong Kong and British events thanks to online trading so I basically have all except 4: Mew, Manaphy, Meloetta and Genesect, so while I would be looking forward to these four when they come out, I'm very disappointed about the level and not being able to train, so I think for those four I will be sticking with the previous gen ones I found and playing with those. Well, except for the Mew that's coming out in Japan with the release of Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow on the Virtual Console, I'll be trying my hardest to get one of those because it comes out at level 5 and it's my all time favourite pokemon! Anyway, how about you, excited about these events (if they come to your country. Going by the Hoopa fiasco, I'm fully expecting all of these to come to the states and NONE of them to come to Canada, and to further screw us, Nintendo will have fixed the trick that we used to get Hoopa in the first place to specifically screw us over specifically.) or will you be sticking with the ones you got before? |
Well, if there's really going to be an event for every event-only Pokémon from Gen. 1 to 5, means I can get rid of my old ones.
I do agree it's really annoying that they come at Lv. 100 though, wish we could just at least level them. Not like I'd really use them though I guess, just collection pieces. Could most of the info be placeholder though? Some of it just seems weird, you know. At least I'm glad they're doing it this way, will satisfy the ocd part of myself if all the event have consistent OT and ID and event distribution locations yknow. Kinda funny how NA and Europe gets them but not Japan though. And why are some randomly serial code while some others are randomly Wi-Fi? Why not all Wi-Fi or all Serial Code? |
Given this year is the 20th anniversary of Pokemon, it's natural they want to give everything they've got. These event legends can be obtained monthly, with one to be released every month starting from February.

It's about time they did something like this ^^ There's several mythical Pokemon that haven't been distributed in years, so this is a great opportunity for people to get the ones they missed out on. I guess them all being level 100 is less than ideal, but eh, personally I just want to get my hands on them to fill the holes in my Pokedex, and will probably use a few of them in Wi-Fi battles too.
It is kind of a shame though that they're only doing this in North America. This is supposed to be a 20th anniversary celebration thing, so kinda stinks that other regions aren't getting in on the fun too :( |
I agree Cathy, it's terrible that region exclusivity has hurt me again. I do hope Europe and Australia do get events of their own for the 20th anniversary, even if it's not exactly identical to this.
But for the Americans, it's a blessing because some of these event Pokemon haven't been available for many years. |

Edit: looks like the levels (and therefore information) on Serebii are not in fact placeholders since they created artwork showing the levl and moves: https://www.facebook.com/PokemonGlobalNews/photos/a.148398262018859.1073741844.148121982046487/448649635327052/?type=3 (the group is obviously no affiliated with Gamefreak or Nintendo, but the pictures were obviously made by someone connected) which makes their levels even weirder as Jirachi, Manaphy and Meloetta all only have 3 moves, and a lot of the pokemon have really low level moves which makes them being at level 100 all the more confusing. It genuinely looks like they just slapped out some random generic event pokemon and made them level 100 (which, for a US release is probably pretty standard I guess) |

Also it's impossible the Wi-Fi ones can be locked to US-only. US and Canada use the exact same 3DSes and games, every Wi-Fi event for US you can get from anywhere else in the world if you have a NA 3DS + game. The serial code ones, yeah those might be US-only. But if you were able to get your hands on a code you'd be able to use it and download in Canada just fine. Problem is getting your hands on codes, though. Quote:

Okay, I guess it's not leaving out Europe after all. Must have been an oversight here.
|
Oh my goodness! I'm beyond delighted to hear this so thank you for alerting me! I would particularly love to get Celebi and Darkrai on my X cartridge :D
|
I already have every single event Pokémon that's been given but I am happy to hear that the rest of the world gets the goodies that Japan always gets.
|
I got absolutely none of the event legends. I nearly got the 3 shiny legend dogs though but at the time I had forgotten my ds at home (mostly cause I had no clue about the event and I was grounded).
|
Good that they're doing this. I always found it annoying how there's all these Pokemon that exist but you can only get them when Nintendo/Game Freak feels like it (or if you hack).
Is it really not a worldwide thing though? Pokemon is a global franchise, distribute this shit globally guys. Also what's so bad about them being level 100? ew Gamestop distributions tho |

Event Pokémon being available in Europe via WiFi in the main is very welcome.
Meloetta being in December is slightly annoying however. |

Nintendo: "We released such-and-such serial code in North America" Canada: "No, that was to Game Stop. We don't have Gamestop in Canada. We have EB Games" Nintendo: "Well Gamestop owns it, so it's the same thing. We'll jsut ignore your complaints" Nintendo: "We'll release this pokemon to McDonalds Free WiFi." Canada: "There's no Mcdonald's in the entire country that has their routers named that, so none of us can get it." Nintendo: "McDonald's is the same everywhere, so we'll just ignore your complaints." Nintendo: "We'll release this giveaway to a Burger joint exclusively to New York City." Canada: "We don't=" Nintendo: "There's hamburgers in Canada, therefore you can get this giveway. Learn how to use internet." and so on. And furthermore, the wifi events CAN be region locked for those of us that were avid Animal Crossing players know because wen the game first came out you could go to Nintendo Zones and Wifi Hotspots to get free gifts only available at those zones. One of these hotspots was Best Buy. People caught on that you could rename your home router Best Buy (exactly like this Hoopa Trick) and it worked for quite a long time to get free gifts, but Nintendo caught on and altered it so the trick no longer worked in Canada, and if they continue this trend, what exactly would stop nintendo from doing the same thing for future Pokemon releases like this? As I said, they already did it for Animal Crossing (before they axed the Nintendo Zone completely out of Canada) so what's stopping them from doing the same thing to Pokemon? They have these arrangements with these companies for a reason (to get people into their stores) which is fine if they actually release them into the stores, but when it doesn't get released in a country (like Canada) and everyone keeps going "oh well it doesn't matter because Canada is exactly the same as the US, so if the US is getting it, Canada must be too. Everyone in the entire country just must not know how to use Wifi" then the issue never gets addressed, and eventually we stop getting giveaways altogether. (as is what happened with the Dragonite I mentioned before at Gamestop) |
But you can't say US-only either because there's no guaranteeing it'll indeed be US-only.
Hoopa may have been an oversight, but the only way it wouldn't be available in Canada was if Nintendo purposefully didn't have Canadian Gamestop/EB Games host the event. And the Wi-Fi ones, well I mean it depends on if they decide to do it like they did Hoopa, or if they do them as regular Wi-Fi events that you're meant to be able to download off Wi-Fi from anywhere. |
your link is terrible, not while this is out http://www.pokemon20.com/en-us/mythical.html oh and its not just the pokes a 3ds bundle is as well http://www.polygon.com/2016/1/12/10754140/pokemon-new-nintendo-3ds-red-blue-yellow
The first link actually goes into dates that games came out, seasons, movies and tcg stuff as well as info about release dates and where. |
Personally, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Deoxys; it's definitely been a while since I've had one of them.

Why do they feel the need to make certain events exclusive to certain regions it's really bloody annoying especially for me as someone who lives in Australia it seems like Hoppa's the only one I'm getting.
|
i feel like it's a good mix of both serial and wifi events. they're really going all out with this and i cannot wait to get my hands on some of these exclusives to have for my games.
