It's been said before in this thread and I'll say it again... why should these events even have to exist? I mean... I bought the game... why am I not allowed to "Catch 'em all" unless I go to some event? It's just a little silly, if you ask me.

Another well made point... I'm a Canadian. I don't even get the opportunity for events, as far as I'm aware. So, naturally, I'm looking for an Action Replay so I can get the pokemon that are restricted to me. Oh well.

Although, I remember there being an event in Oshawa at the OC where I got a Mew wayyyyy back when Pokemon Stadium first came out. I traded a Grimer for a Mew on my Pokemon Yellow... Good times.

It would have been nice to see, especially with the DS wireless communications system. I remember playing Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures with my friends and our GBAs... so many cords and batteries...

On well, maybe in the future it'll happen? If not I think I can go on living without it! :p
