Man I wish I didn't sell my Platinum game. I still have a JPN Platinum game though, but it isn't the same

Shiny Xerneas and Yveltal event confirmed for Japan, man i hope these come out to the states.

Hoopa will also be distributed in Europe in late October.

Serial code though, so I won't even bother.

Get used to the Serial Codes then. They're not going to stop using them. They can't do what they used to at store events because of the workers keeping the game cartridge that gave away the Pokemon through IR and selling them online or keeping them for themselves.

That is why Serial Codes is a thing now. There will never be another IR event again.

Then they could just do a wifi one instead? They've done plenty in the past.

Pokemon want the promotion, so WiFi can't be used all the time.

But they never do it at all here any more, which is the problem.
I get the point of the in-store ones, but if they need to promotion then just limit the serial code ones to shiny Pokemon. Ones like Diancie and Hoopa should be much more accessible.

Europe had Diancie over WiFi in the summer. They do give the event Pokemon like Diancie out through WiFi, only after they give them through Serial Codes.

It's better for them to promote the brand new Event Pokemon at stores than online anyway.

I am. Used to missing out and waiting for the WiFi event that is.

Like they didn’t stop using cartridges?

Which was a problem how exactly? If the module didn’t came back, give the store that had it a strike, easy as that.

Using codes is just much easier than having to distribute cartridges, that’s all.

And you know that because your last name is Nostradamus or…?

And that event lasted for a grand total of four days.

I think you're missing the problem here.
