6th Gen U.S. Hoopa Event - McDonalds? Sounds like a lot of Hoopa!

Is it possible to get a Hoopa in both X and Y or ORAS, or only one game? I am also worried it might not be every MC Dondlads, in Richmond VA where I live anime is not a big thing.

You can get them on all of those games.

Is it US only? So close yet so far from me.
 
Oh wow! An event I can actually receive without driving for an hour! This just made my day ^^ and made my tummy growl..
 
Seeing as this event will be rarer than easily farmed Gamestop events, it will be of worth for me and other redditors from /r/PokemonTrades such as my self. This means that the McHoopa will most likely be worth more than the GAME and perhaps worth more than the Maxsoft Hoopa. I see this as a better way to distribute it.

Also, McNuggets.
 
They're hosting it in McDonalds because this is where the vast majority of Nintendo Zones are, I'd wager.

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to farm this Hoopa as easily as the Gamestop events.
Go there with two games, pick up one on Mystery Gift, trade it over, restart game, rinse and repeat.

Well, you see, if you go to Gamestop everyday on different shifts, you could get a good 40 codes depending on the amount of Gamestops near you.
 
This isn't a distribution by code, though. You simply download it via wireless download. :p
 
I live in south america, so no hoopa for me :/, I wish they gave a code or something for my country :P
 
It will most likely be possible to download Hoopa at home by spoofing your network as being a McDonald's Nintendo Zone hotspot, by giving it a certain SSID (NZ@McD1) and spoofing your router's mac address (Unsure which mac addresses would be used for this yet.)
It's been done before for various other events, even more recently, for the Pokémon Center shiny Tyranitar in Japan without having to live anywhere near Japan (still need a Japanese 3DS and game, though.)

how does that work?? do we have to change something in the router or in the ninendo 3ds??
 
To be honest I'm not entirely sure how to do this with a router, I've only ever done it with my wireless card in my PC.
It's the same concept as HomePass. You set up a wireless access point with the same name as the official Nintendo Zone access points, and use mac spoofing programs to spoof your mac address. Your 3DS will be tricked into thinking they are connected to a Nintendo Zone.

You can trick your 3DS into thinking it connected to a Nintendo Zone simply by changing your AP's name to attwifi or NZ@McD1, but in order to be able to download Hoopa you'd probably have to have a certain mac address so your 3DS thinks it's connected to a McDonalds access point, and not just any Nintendo Zone.

This page has a list of mac addresses for various Nintendo Zone access points, so it should be possible to spoof your router or your wireless card as having that mac address, then use the right SSID, and start up your router or wireless access point to download Hoopa as if you were at McDonalds

ok, thanks a lot ^^, I don't know a lot about this stuff, but I'll try to do it xD, thanks for the info, didn't know that could be done
 
Serebii has mentioned that this Hoopa event is now active, so if you're in the US visit McDonald's and pick up yours now!

And this may be a bit off-topic, but there's now been another Hoopa event announced for the Scandinavia region. Players in Norway, Finland and Sweden can obtain a serial code from Gamestop stores which they can use to download Hoopa onto their Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire games. This one will be active from December 2015 - January 2016. (Credit goes to Serebii for this)
 
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. :(

Did it the moment I woke up, never even went inside, just logged on in the parking lot XD
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?
