    Think about all the events Black and White have had since they were released. You've had Victini and Mewtwo in the legendaries department, yet a good assortment of past generation Pokemon, three easily found Pokemon and nothing that can really be considered "amazing", competitively, either. Now think about Sinnoh and Johto - Generation 4 combined has had a great assortment of legendaries, as well as normal Pokemon to even that up basically.

    1. Do you think we need better giveaway Pokemon, either through wifi or Global Link in Black and White?
    2. Which B/W giveaway Pokemon do you feel was the least necessary?
    3. When do you think we'll get "good" giveaway Pokemon?

    I think there have been already a few good giveaway pokemon but some weren't that good. It's honestly hard to say which one feels the least necessary since they all help fill up you're pokedex and I mostly put pokemon in the PC since I'm usually content with the team I already have out at the time. And I think we'll be seeing even more(and probably better) events after Grey is released everywhere.
     
    Well in Japan there was a Darkrai and Arceus as well, so I think they got their share of good events.

    I personally like the events and think they're just fine the way they are other than spreading out events (especially wi-fi ones) to other areas. The point of the event imo isn't to get some amazingly rare Pokemon, at least I enjoy just getting a Pokemon tbh. For me the little extra perk is enough, it doesn't have to be a Jirachi or whatever for me to think it's a cute addition.
     
    I think we've gotten decent giveaways, but you're talking to someone that only got the very last bit of gen IV stuff. So I'm grateful I'm able to get gen V stuff. Like Victini<3 There's also that shiny Hydreigon/Golurk and the Mewtwo event. I thought those were awesome. I don't think the egg giveaway was necessary though. Like...just why lol. As for future events...well. I mean...come ON. Needs. Moar. Petilil. :3c
     
    I think most of the giveaways are actually pretty decent. I mean sure, the Zoroark wasn't of use to some people (due to them already having one from the previous Shiny Legendary trio event + Celebi), but for those who didn't already have one, it was pretty neat to have this event for them. Plus legendary giveaways are nice to have, to me anyway.

    Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with the recent and past giveaways. I like em.
