From the sounds of it, this research was all conducted on English Pokémon Stadium 2. Is it feasible that it could have been possible to obtain the exclusive decorations on Japanese Pokémon Stadium GS? (e.g. If in the localization process, they tweaked the probabilities of Mystery Gift items, but inadvertently made them impossible to obtain.)

Worth noting that the press release Bulbanews got from TPCi's PR agency said that it would be available at Target stores in the US and Canada. When we asked them to confirm that they meant Target in Canada, they confirmed they did.

- I haven't been able to find any spanish magazine that talked about the distribution, except for a very little mention many months later on the official Nintendo magazine that, in response to a letter, said that Mew was in fact distributed at the tournament in Madrid. The magazines (including official nintendo magazine) only covered the tournament, no trace from Mew distribution.

Any chance you could upload a scan of that page of the magazine? I would be interested to see this letter response.

And was there any chasing people in said Pokemon costumes to be able to grab its event (Which I'd assume the distribution device was in the costumes if so)?

Sounds quite fun if true.

I don't think the distribution device was in the costumes. While the announcement of the first distribution (the Pikachu available for the entire event) specified that you needed to be near the walking Pikachu to obtain it (the distribution device was in a bag held by an uncostumed person), the second distribution specified that it was available "in the area between the intersection in front of the Yokohama Port Post Office and Yokohama Park" whereas the parade ran "along the road Nihon-ōdōri starting from Zou-no-hana Park and turning at Yokohama Park".

Codes will be available at Game Mania in Belgium and the Netherlands from August 18 to September 18, 2017 (sources: Netherlands and Belgium).

This also confirms that the PAL region codes expire on December 4.

It is level 40, has Static, and knows Hold Hands, Play Nice, Teeter Dance and Happy Hour.

It's in a Cherish Ball, its OT is カーニバル (Carnival) and its Trainer ID is 170809.

This one is female Hasty, but those aren't necessarily locked (gender is already known not to be).

There is a Mimikyu in the parade. My guess is that's the Pokémon that will be distributed on August 14.

I think they had a distribution device in a Pikachu before, tho.
(I think it was the heart-stamp-chu)

Yes, that's the distribution featured in the video I linked.

What's your take on bullet point 2?

I wonder if this means other Pokémon will be available too.

The fact that the second distribution doesn't specify Pikachu when it easily could makes me think it won't be a regular Pikachu. It might be a Cap Pikachu though.

Also, it's interesting to note that it sounds like the (1) distribution will have the distribution device inside one of the Pikachu costumes (like was done in 2014), but the (2) distribution is only within a specific location (so the device isn't inside the costume, despite the fact that they are already doing that for the same event). To me, that indicates it's a costume that it isn't as easy to put a 3DS inside of. Alternatively, since it can be obtained an unlimited number of times, it might be to prevent this happening, where people follow the parade with their 3DSes to get the distribution.

You go to the shop and activate the Nintendo Zone. They give you the code that way. I think it's a code per shop because I used two consoles and I got the same code in both places. Guess the code can be used more than once ^^

No, those are one-time use codes. I think it's just ensuring it's one per customer. Anyway, thanks for clarifying; I thought it would be that way, but there have been events in the past that are directly distributed by Nintendo Zone, so I wanted to confirm because your post was worded ambiguously.

I got it from Game in Spain. They distribute it via Nintendo Zone.

 

Are you saying they distributed the codes to obtain it via Nintendo Zone, or they distributed the Pokémon itself? Because I believed the former was the case.

Sandshrew code will be revealed on the Daegyo Auorini ("Kids") channel at 5 pm on May 2, 2017.

Pokémon Café Singapore claim that you can get the code if you show a receipt dated after January 25. They're not listed in the Nintendo HK article though.

3. Local Wi-Fi Distributions can be collected by any game.

Language of wondercard usually will stick to the country's main language,

unless they distributed the card in other languages.

Well, more accurately, the Wonder Card text itself always matches the language of the game, since it is determined by a single byte. The text of every possible Wonder Card is stored in the game itself. What varies is the distribution text and Wonder Card title (in the way you mentioned).

I also wouldn't use "local Wi-Fi", since Wi-Fi typically refers to Nintendo Network distribution, whereas what you're referring to are local wireless ones.

Codes can be redeemed until May. Promo material with the receipt with the code says May 13,

Shiny Rayquaza info

It will be available in certain stores (to be announced later), and its OT will be コロコロ (CoroCoro). It starts on March 14. It has the same moves as the WHF one and is also level 70. It mentions that it is available for XYORAS, but only for Japanese games.

Yeah, neither Bulbanews nor Serebii says random Legendary.

Arceus will be in a Cherish Ball, have a Wishing Ribbon, its OT is デセルシティ (Deseru City), ID# is 03074. There's also no confirmation that its Nature is random, although a screenshot shows a Timid one. (source)

Actually, the Pokemon will be available at all Pokemon Center stores, not just the Tokyo store.

Actually, it is available until the end of the availability of the Set 3 of "The Pokémon Tretta", not for three sets. Since "The Pokémon Tretta" counts from 0, this is "Search! Strongest Friends", the fourth set in the current Tretta series. Rotom is only available from machines running this set, and the distribution is stated to end when these machines are no longer available. You can actually see the "Search! Strongest Friends" logo on the machine running it down the bottom of the page.

There is always an expiration date. They don't just keep the events clogging up their servers forever.
