According to this page, Amity Field will be unlocked in Japanese games starting July 24 and going on until August 8; it is a real-life event, so players outside Japan won't benefit from it. With Black and White on the horizon, this may be the last Generation IV event ever.

Frankly, I don't see why the Pokéwalker events or the the recent anime-related Wi-Fi distributuons have been prioritized over the Azure Flute and the Lock Capsule. Maybe the late August and early September period will change that.
 
Yes, there was a Bulbanews article about this a while back... though it garnered very little attention at the time. It seems odd that Japan hasn't bothered releasing Rally, Sightseeing or Amity Meadow over WiFi... opting for real-world giveaways instead. At this point, I'm not sure they'll ever bother. Although I do think regions outside Japan will get those 3 courses over WiFi, as real-world events are much less common and WiFi will be preferred for a relatively minor thing like a Pokewalker Course.

I do agree on the Azure Flute... it needs to be released before B&W come out; in both Japan and North America. Even if they only put it up for 2 weeks. Hell, there's a 2 week gap opening up right now on the North American & European Mystery Gift server, between Jirachi ending on the 16th and the Enigma Crystal starting up on the 31st. Why aren't they doing anything for tha time? It would be perfect for the Azure Flute.

As for the lock capsule... there's still no guarantee it just isn't some beta item. And if it does have something to do with B&W, maybe they'll do it closer to the release date.

Using the Lock Capsule as a bonus for pre-ordering Black and White would make a fair amount of sense, but that would be unfair to people who don't own a HGSS game. I'm only suggesting this because there has been a rumor floating on Japanese web sites that an event Pokémon will be distributed to people who buy one of the versions within a month of their release, and the Lock Capsule would make the distribution possible before the games are released. Maybe downloading the Lock Capsule to HGSS will be optional.
 
I want Azure Flute, for Japan too, i have 2 JP platinums. I want shiny arceus's
i would be so happy if they would do it in the 2 week gap between Jirachi and Enigma stone, but they havent said anything about another Event yet, but ive noticed they usually have a pattern of announcing the next event on the day the current one ends. so tomorrow maybe they will say if there is another event. I honestly dont know what to think about the Lock Capsule, if they say its a special thing that unlocks something in B/W, then its true, if not its probably just leftover data. I want Amity, because it has the EV redcuing berries which I need badly for HG/SS and DPt, although i could just Pal Park them i guess i figure maybe if the LC is supposed to have a purpose the next CoroCoro may reveal this.
 
Did you ever think that the Lock Capsule is unused data and will never have an event?

Of course I have, but the people who are eager to say this are usually the ones who are not aware of the text associated with the item. To say that it is unused data cannot be accurate because it's not programmed to unlock anything in HGSS other than the ability to transfer it to another game.

Here goes Unown Lord with the Capsule again! XD

Anyway, I have it, and just like any other person, have nothing to do with it...

...would it be a safe bet to say that it's harmless?
 
A hacked Lock Capsule can't do anything. But if the item is received via a Wonder Card, a hidden Mystery Gift option called "VIEW LOCK CAPSULE CARD" will be unlocked, allowing for the item to be transferred to some other game.
 
...so in reality, you have to have the card too...

Well, I'm screwed! XD
 
yes but how does anybody know this? Maybe GF explored this as a concept of " transfreable mystery gifts" but for some reason decided to scratch the idea, and now it is just leftover data. i think if they were going to do a Lock Capsule event they would have done it by now. its not long until B/W are released in Japan now. why wait till the last minute? they wont even confirm the LC so maybe its just an idea they decided not to go forward with.
