Will all of the remaining hidden abilities be unlocked by the end of this generation?

[Silktree]

B2W2 have increased the list of available abilities considerably. However, there are still 33 Pokémon whose abilities are currently unobtainable: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, the Chikorita line, the Cyndaquil line, the Totodile line, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Heatran, the Snivy line, the Tepig line, the Oshawott line, Gothita (but not its evolutions) and the Litwick line.

It is probably safe to assume that the non-legendary Pokémon will be unlocked via the Dream World by the end of this generation, but what about the legendaries? They have rarely been distributed via the Dream World. Why don't the Regis or Heatran have access to their abilities in B2W2? Why wasn't Mewtwo distributed with Unnerve? The only legendaries with obtainable hidden abilities are those that are available via the Dream Radar.

Personally, I doubt that Mewtwo will be distributed again, even though Movie 16 presents that possibility. I find it more likely that the shiny Genesect and Eevee will be the two movie downloads, representing both the movie and the short. I wonder if Mewtwo will be catchable in X and Y with a hidden ability that is actually useful.

I think that once Gen 6 is released we will be done with Hidden Abilities. We'll probably see Mewtwo distributed with the movie as opposed to Eevee as they've never done movie distributions with shorts. We may be able to see the others and the legends be special releases. Remember we still have 9 months until the games come out.

The Meloetta distributed last year was tied to the short.

I dunno, I somehow doubt we will get all the Hidden Abilities. Things like the DW starters haven't really made it over here, although there is more than enough time to distribute them all by the time X and Y are available. Im starting to kinda lose hope that the Snivy line will get released via DW, I'd really like one though. I dunno if the DW will be compatible with X/Y so maybe they will continue distributing Hidden Abilities.

Hopefully I can get Shadow Tag Chandelure, Impostor Ditto, and Speed Boost Torchic before this Generation is over

Imposter Ditto has been released, you get it in the Giant Chasm Hidden Grotto in Black 2 and White 2, however DW Litwick is not avaiable and Torchic hasnt been released internationally.

I know, I just hope I get them before this Generation is over
