So the Hoopa event that started here yesterday is promoting something?

New game out on the shelves now? Nope.
Hoopa movie due on on DVD here any time soon? Nope.
Hoopa movie due to air on TV here any time soon? Maybe, but they certainly aren't advertising it.

Exactly.

I understand the point of in-store promotions, but just because they may be well-timed for you in the US doesn't mean they are here. They aren't promoting anything except games that have been on the shelves for months and chain stores which (in some cases) base their stores completely out of city centres that can prove difficult to get to.
