Any of you in Japan gonna go and get these?

Edited by Guested to include known information:

These 7 Pokemon will be distributed at the Pokemon Game Show on August 17th and 18th in Japan.

The Game Show will be featuring a number of Pokemon things, such as playing a public demo of X and Y, the chance to battle hosts of Pokemon Smash, and some TCG stuff, Tretta, etc.

Each of the 7 Pokemon is based on a League Champion's Pokemon from each game in the series.

Green's Pidgeot

Lance's Dragonite

Steven's Metagross

Wallace's Milotic

Cynthia's Spiritomb

Alder's Volcarona

Iris's Haxorus

One can be obtained per game cartridge.

I was planning on attending this event to play the demo anyway, so yes.

Why not Garchomp for Cynthia?

I updated the first post to include known information.

Why not Garchomp for Cynthia?

Dunno, but maybe because Garchomp had been distributed recently?

Why not Garchomp for Cynthia?

Instead, I'd ask : Why Dragonite, Metagross and Milotic AGAIN ?!

They've been distributed in many occasions on G5 already, and really, they're getting old...

[Guested]

Many? Milotic was once, Metagross was twice, Dragonite was once.

And...

Milotic was only distributed in Kyushu, and was part of a random distribution.

Metagross was a part of that same distribution as well as another random distribution at Pokemon Centers.

And Dragonite was a part of that same Pokemon Center distribution.

So it shouldn't be said that everyone already has these Pokemon. Even assuming everyone was able to attend, there's no promise that they'd get any of those, specifically.

But then... the same can be said for Garchomp.

Spritomb seems to be more popular in merchandising than Garchomp these days, anyway.

Or it could be because Spiritomb is still pretty hard to obtain, compared with Gabite. There's no place to catch wild ones, and it's only been available through that tedious quest in DPP, the Pokewalker, Dream World, Dream Radar, or an in-game trade in B2W2. There's no easy way to just catch them freely, most methods require outside devices/methods. So maybe that had some reasoning? To make it more appealing than Garchomp? Could also be because there were already two dragon-type Pokemon in this distribution from the specifically dragon-type Champions. Just some ideas.
