Bit of an old article, but I didn't see any other mention of it:

Why come I don't get a guaranteed 3IV Arceus 3:
I don't think GF has anything to do with this. They probably have enough work as is, creating the next games.Just GameFreak being... GameFreak.
I find this complete BS. Why does japan get everything? Its just data. Why waste money on making those stupid code cards that more than half of the world have trouble getting? Why not release every event pokémon via wifi? Okay I get that some pokémon should be gotten via movies/events. In my country they don't even have the pokémon movies in the cinema's anymore. At least not in the town I live in. Why make it so hard for everyone outside japan?
to make everyone want them, really. Years ago when gen 3 was new, if someone got a shiny Metagross is was spectacular, amazing, people were envious because it looked so cool. Fast Forward to when ORAS was released 4 months ago and quite literally EVERYONE who owns the game can get a shiny metagross (or beldum, but eventually a metagross) and now they're pretty ho hum. Same thing would happen with the event legendaries. Something that is only given out at a movie release or a specific pokemon event in real life has people clamouring for it, trying to get their own, wanting it so badly because they can't have it. Would there be that level of excitement and desire if everyone who owned the game just automatically got an Arceus? When was the last time you heard anyone in the last 4 months asking for a Deoxys the way they used to? Not at all I would assume since everyone who owns ORAS gets a Deoxys.
Exactly. It would be something else if the games originated in a western location, but that's not the case. We do get some cool events every now and then and I'm perfectly fine with that.I will never, ever understand why people are so bothered that a Japan gets cool stuff in a Japanese game.
It's really sad, but there's nothing we could do about it. Maybe someday, Nintendo realizes that they don't need to be so Japan centric.
You say everyone want them, but pretty much for everyone who lives in japan can easily get most of the event pokémons. Lots of those events are from codes you can get from a cheap magazine or going to a pokémon center and japan is full of those. For the diancie code in my country I had to pre-order the oras game and I did that and then I hear that the store never even got the codes although it stated on the website that if you would pre-order it at that store you would get the code. My problem is is while pokemon is like an international game since generation 1 we still don't even get half of the events japan gets.
scumfreak favors japan and says screw everyone else./ hope one day scumtendo or scumfreak goes out of business. i'd be real happy
