SnorlaxMonster Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So this is out now. I don't have the file, but there are some interesting things that have been revealed. Info here: http://filb.de/2195 Local events don't appear to be region-locked. filb.de got the Inkay on a German game, and Masuda himself got it on a game in his French 2DS (which due to region-locking would necessarily be a European game). The filb.de article also shows off the OT, ID, Ability, Nature (or at least a potential one), Ribbon, met location, distribution text, and German Wonder Card (although I'm guessing all Wonder Cards will be the same for all events now).

Guested Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Here are my photos from my trip to the new Pokemon Center yesterday (Saturday): http://imgur.com/a/oz2W6 I can also back up what SnorlaxMonster posted. I (as well as a few friends) were able to download the Inkay on our North American games/consoles as well as our Japanese consoles (pictures of both in above gallery). As expected, the distribution text and WC title were in Japanese, and WC text was in English. Nature, Ability, and Gender are all random. I've added the details to the Event Gallery entry here: Tokyo Bay Inkay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPSpike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I have a question since you went there, Guested. Do you know how they are actually distributed this generation? Like, they have a console sitting somewhere doing the distro from a cartridge, or you just connect to the local wireless, kinda like the nintendo zone distros for animal crossing?. The later, by changing the SSID of our routers (and maybe spoofing the mac) could open the access to those events to the rest of the world, if it's anything similar. PS: This is just speculation, as some people think that it would be more economic to set up the distros without needing any cartridge for those events.

Guested Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I didn't see anything, but it is most likely still a cartridge in a console (which is Local Wireless). Aren't the Animal Crossing ones at Nitendo Zones done through SpotPass anyway? There WAS some kind of hotspot there which made my console have internet access... and it allowed me to see my 3DS Friends List (I didn't configure anything in my connection settings)... I saw codemonkey85 was playing A Link Between Worlds, for example. So since it required no configuration from me but got full internet access, it might have been a Nintendo Zone hot spot. But this event, like Gen IV and V, was gotten through the "Get through Local Wireless" option on the Mystery Gift menu, in-game.... not through the Internet, or through NintendoZone app or through SpotPass.

BPSpike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yeah, the AC ones are done via street/spotpass (you use the in-game menu at the post office to check out if there is any event/distribution), but the events in question require you to be near an open router with a certain SSID, as nintendo will only send the files when requested via a 3DS connected thru those routers. The events used to be exclusive to some stores like Best Buy and (in japan) 7-eleven, I think. Later they changed it to any Nintendo Zone. Basically, even though the events were local, they still use internet to grab the data and send it to the 3DS. The hotspot you saw, which didn't require you to configure up for use, was definitely a nintendo zone. Next time you go to one of those events, if you enter into the 3DS network settings and try to set it up manually you will find an open router with no protection. Knowing its SSID might help us check if they are using that for local events (as in Animal Crossing). Now, I'm not saying the 3DS will detect those when using local wireless, as in the past that option only checked for other consoles and not routers... but it might be worth taking that into account and checking if somehow it works that way now.

BlackShark Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 This one will be distributed in other Japanese Pokemon Centers as well. From December 26th 2013 to January 26th 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 The official site says that you won't be able to get it if you had gotten it at the Tokyo Bay PC, meaning the WC ID is the same. I wonder if the new ones will have their own OT and Met Location for each Pokemon Center... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimasamune Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Has anybody tried bringing a Japanese or other foreign 3DS to a North American local event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Inkay on all of my games, so I won't be able to get it at the other PC locations. Keep your eyes out for blogs that might be reporting on this, just in case there is a new OT or Met Location.

popeel2 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just out of curiosity, can the event move "happy hour" be passed down to offspring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokelly1 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just out of curiosity, can the event move "happy hour" be passed down to offspring? It's not listed as an egg move on Serebii. (At least not yet) http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/686.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batprince Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Did we find out weather the other pokemon centers have a different Met Location? Or do they all say PC Tokyo Bay? Serebii says the others say pokemon center but I haven't come across one that says that yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
