Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
I don't know if I really have a favorite... I think the one most special to my heart is the 05080 VGC10 Shiny Eevee. I was event collecting at this time, and in June 2010, the VGCs stopped at Secaucus, New Jersey, which is 20 minutes from my house. This was the first time I ever got to go to an in-life Pokemon event, not including the Toys R Us events.
I remember wanting to go to the last stop in the 10th Anniversary tour when it was in Bryant Park, New York City on August 8, 2006, but my parents didn't want to take me. The experience I got by obtaining the Eevee was great, and two years later, in the very same building (Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus), I went to my first ever convention, Bronycon Summer 2012. I guess I have lots of memories that remind me of this Eevee.
Difficult to obtain? Not really. We went to the Expo Center immediately after I had an appointment for my retainer that morning, and we waited in line. But there were way too many people wanting to register for the VGC, so the line got cut off quite a bit in front of me. Me and my brother didn't get to enter the VGC even after waiting in line for about 2 hours, but we still got the Eevee. IIRC there were 500 entrants that got in, and many more that were cut off.
