I just hope we don't see more "special event" pokemon that can only be acquired in certain countries or stores. Everyone is paying the same for the game and some should not be disadvantaged due to their location/region.
That's pretty much an inevitability, sadly. They typically do this to promote pre-orders for certain games, as well as other products such as movies.
What I'm more worried about is that since 3rd gen, each generation has had more event Pokemon than the last (1st and 2nd gen had 1 each, 3rd had 2, 4th had 3, and 5th had 4), and that's getting extremely annoying. I really hope they don't continue that pattern either, 5+ event Pokemon in 6th gen would be way too much.
ugh agreed
i'm tired of japan getting all the events
Not all of Japan's events are worth getting, TBH, but I was extremely disappointed the way TPCi handled international events this gen, because we missed so many that we had no reason to miss (the Shiny Golurk/Hydreigon event for the 14th movie, the Shiny Rayquaza to tie in with Pokemon Conquest, the U.S. never got a DW Pikachu, I think there's a few others). Hopefully, that won't be as problematic from now on because of the worldwide release.
