Long Time No See!
As we all know, Nintendo has really thought up good ways to give out event Pokemon, such as Deoxys and Celebi, for example. Having them as event Pokemon is great, giving many a chance to get the Pokemon for free, all the while having fun at an event, like Journey Across America.
However, some people, be it by their parents, missing the dates, or the event being too far away, for many, it seems, are unable to obtain these Pokemon by the events, most resorting to sharking.
Back in 2003, Nintendo released a rare Gamecube disc compiling four Legend of Zelda games, a demo of Wind Waker, and some videos, as many know. To obtain the disc, you had two options:
A.) Subscribe to Nintendo Power, paying $20 dollars for the magazine, getting the disc free.
B.) Registering your Gamecube, and three Games through the My Nintendo service on the official Nintendo website.
Of course, many were able to get the disc, and it seemed to be pretty popular at the time... so looking back on this makes me wonder.
The Pokemon games of the third generation are easily able to transfer data between the Nintendo Gamecube and Game Boy Advance, as seen through the Japan exclusive Celebi disc, and the Jirachi bonus disc in America.
It is very possible that the Gamecube could send data through the GBA/GCN Link Cable that would either trigger the events, such as receiving the Eon Ticket in Ruby/Sapphire, or the Old Sea Map in Pokemon Emerald.
What if, for the 10th Anniversary, an uprsurge of Pokemon fans over the internet signed a rather large petition, wrote letters to Pokemon USA, etc. requesting this bonus disc be made for a special promotion? An easily thought way to do this would be, to receive the disc either by:
A.) Subscribing to Nintendo Power, which would gain them at least twenty dollars per person.
B.) Registering a Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance, and either Pokemon Ranger, Mysterious Dungeon Blue, or MD Red, when they come out, along with one other Pokemon game, be it Ruby, Fire Red, Emerald, and so on.
Now, while you could counter my theory by saying PUSA didn't listen about the voice actors in the anime, that's most likely, in their opinion, lose money by hiring the voice actors we currently have in fear they would ask for higher pay than what they got at the time.
But, as we all know, there are thousands, millions of Pokemon fans in America, around the world even. Nintendo of America/Pokemon USA can generate profit by people either subscribing to their magazine, buying either Mysterious Dungeon, Ranger, or for those who haven't been able to, the GBA RPG games.
My theory is that if NOA/PUSA saw how much money this could generate them, they may comply with the request, especially with this year being the Tenth Anniversary of Pokemon. While it could possibly be a pipe dream, it might just work.
I honestly could see this, if it happened, as a win/win scenario. NOA/PUSA would generate a decent amount of profit, and the fans would have one last chance to get the Event Pokemon.
If the event was popular enough, if it worked, it could possibly be carried on towards Europe, Australia, etc. helping the fans in those countries as well.
While most petitions rarely work, there may be enough Pokemon fans in the world to actually help this become a reality.
The one strong standpoint that I could see this not working, would be if PUSA saw that giving us the 1st Season was enough for us fans... but you never know.
