Hello all. I have a question about the Japanese movie Diance event happening right now. I am in Japan on vacation and want to try to get it. Has anyone else successfully gotten it with a non-Japanese cartridge/3DS? What do I need to know before going to the theater, and how can I find out where the movie is showing/the Pokemon is being distributed? Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

Hi everyone, thank you for answering my question. My understanding from your replies is that I will not be able to get Darkrai without a Japanese 3DS and game, and that I won't be able to get Diance unless a) the event is not region-locked, or b) I purchase a Japanese 3DS and a Japanese cart. As such, the best course of action is probably to wait until the promotion starts, and then check back here once someone else in Japan reports on the regional status of the event. Although it is not my fault, I am sorry that my inquiry seems to have sparked a bit of an argument regarding "legitimacy" and "legality".

Hi there, new to the site and wasn't able to find the answer I'm looking for, so I'm hoping you can help out. I will be in Japan during the time when the movie promotion for Diance is occurring. Is it possible for me to use my American version of Pokemon Y to get the Diance from the movie event (or the Darkrai from preordering a ticket, for that matter)? If not, could I purchase a Japanese cartridge and use it on my American 3DSXL? Thanks for any info you can give about this event.
