About fucking time NA gets something that isn't just a major event that they hand out to everyone. NA's really gotten the shaft lately on events, even compared to Europe and Australia.

Not to play the "Who's got it worst" game, but Europe and Australia getting events that NA doesn't is a Gen VI phenomenon. And half of the European events haven't been Europe-wide. Frankly,they should all be online distributions

Which makes no sense. No offense to Europe, but it doesn't make sense that they get exclusive events and NA gets nothing. I get Japan, you expect them to have tons upon tons of events because Pokemon is a much bigger deal over there, but Pokemon isn't exactly a bigger deal in Europe than it is in NA.

I agree, at least no more sense than NA events not being run in Europe Not that it matters, because I don't see why we should still be going into stores for events anyway. Even if they're in your home country there might not even be nearby store participating. That Paris only Vivillion event was just plain obnoxious

Only thing Australia have gotten North America hasn't in Gen VI is Electabuzz/Magmar, which were clearly just a test of the new event system (giving out codes in stores rather than putting distribution devices there).

Do the serial codes start on August 1st or August 18th for Gamestop? The news article on Bulbanews says they start on August 1st, while the first posting here says they start on August 18th.

Bulbanews had themselves a little typo. Both National Geographic AND the official Pokémon website say it starts August 18th: Unleash the Strength of Two Tough Pokémon! | Pokemon.com
