Shiny Gengar and Diancie Pokémon Distributions on the Way

Any news about Canada getting these two events? I wouldn't want to miss out on Diancie and Shiny Mega Gengar.

I hope these come from Canada. We didn't get the Mega Stones from the last one. :/

@Aqueous Actually we're getting it from the September issue of the Pokémon Trainer Club Newsletter. So be sure to make an account if you haven't already, dunno when they'll send those.

OMG that Gengar looks all kinds of smexy. I WANT IT!!!

@Iggly - What? When was that announced? How do I get that? I might have it but not sure.

In-store distribution ugh.. I had an issue with Gamestop handling the last one being the Heracross and Pinsir distribution. They were making up their own rules on how you could only receive one card per person. I needed 2 for both X and Y but still no dice until I had a friend get me the other, but it was a different person behind the registrar so she got two. I heard some complaints where people were told to pre order Olmega and Alpha to receive one distribution card.. Why no Wifi distribution Gamefreak??

Can we just do WiFi for pretty much every event? I couldn't do the last event with. Heracross because the employee was so sure that I had to preorder ORAS in order to get a code, I had already preordered it elsewhere.

I already have a shiny gengar!

@Aqueous It was announced around 1-2 weeks after its original announcement. Like I said earlier, if you have an account then you should get it from an email if you opted for the Newsletter.

This is Bouffalant$H/T and everyone knows it, I mean, why on earth they can't do wifi events? in BW we had tons of events, darkrai, mewtwo, reshiram, zekrom, victini, etc. but now we seem to only get bug pokemon (heracross and pinsir are not rare at all).

Can someone clear this up for me? Do you have to buy something at Gamestop in order to get this serial code? (In which case screw it.) I know during the Heracross/Pinser event at Gamestop you had to pick up a serial code but did anyone have to buy anything in order to pick one up?

These look AMAZING! I'll definitely be snagging these pokemon!

@Swiket They simply don't care, they never distributed meloetta outside gamestop. This is only encouraging people to use hacking devices in order to obtain this pokemons :/

@Iggly - Found it, seems I am set to get emails. I'll have to make sure it doesn't end up in spam.

@ColdingLight you dont have to buy a thing, if someone at gamestop tell you otherwise they either dont know what theyre doing or are blatantly lieing

why gamefreak never considered this possibly i'll never know. i'll get these (especially diancie i need her for my dex) would rather it be wifi though. heck even just going to gamestop to download it would be fine with me. i dont like this serial code thing at alls because then you gota deal with employees who are either mistaken in how the distribution works (honestly thinking you need to preorder the game or something like that) or willingly lie to rip a customer off .-.

Oh it's an US instore thing.

I'll keep walking.

Ok, seriously? When will we get Wi-Fi distribution of ANYTHING? Jesus, guys.

North america =/= US only
I'm canadian and I want a shiny Gengar, too! ( T_T)

This feels like Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition, just slightly less limited.

Two words: Mystery Gift. And I will keep repeating those words as long as they pull these things off.

So many problems at Gamestop, so glad we dont usually have those problems.

But the printed codes on the cardboard that you have to scratch off to DL something, yeah, thats just stupid. Hotspots are pretty stupid in general if you ask me. My kids have to go to McDonalds to watch a Pokemon video? The whole Nintendo Zone thing is so last century. Im ok with localized ads, get 10% off at Best Buy while your in Best Buy, or a free toy while your in TRU on their WiFi.

But its Nintendo, so...

@sinalefa - Well at least we dont have to go to a Gamestop in midtown Manhattan (aka NYC).

...Gamestop again?...

I don't get what people are talking about... every time I go in EB games (gamestop) I just load up my game, and boom, they are there. Heck, Heracross, I got while I was siting on my toilet so I don't know why people are complaining about that unless it was a different herracross

Nice, a shiny Gengar! Now n00bs will use this instead their cheaty Gengars, and I'll be able to easily beat them! Yes! Yes! Say hello to my Garchomp, you stupid Mega Gengars! ... or I could use Crunch... but that's only 80 base attack and it isn't even STAB. Whatever, either case, I'll get the advantage! >

@ikki5 It wasn't the Pinsir/Heracross people were upset about [That was available via Wifi], it was the Mega Stones that upset them since you had to go to Gamestop. I don't think it's necessary for me to list the problems since some people above me already shared their experiences.

JUST DO IT VIA WIFI!!!!!

Wait.. so if you get the event diancie.. you get the diancite upon transfering it?

OR...

You have two seperate events.. the diancite is obtained via event reguardless of if you have it or not?

OR.....
Diancite is randomly found in the game itself without an event or anything special?

I hope it's not two seperate events.. in two seperate games... and limited distribution time.. _{in different countries..}

I enjoyed Pokemon X (my first Pokemon game) and I will get this one too. But I think people hype these games for the wrong reasons, what is this mega stone stuff? I really only play for the world you explore, people, battles, and the interaction with Pokemon.

I hate seem so clueless but Pokemon sure is over complicated.

Well now my shiny Gengar doesn't look so special. Not sure how I should feel about this. I mean I'm happy about everyone else getting an awesome Gengar, but that shiny Haunter was the second shiny Pokemon I ever ran up on. Now it's like I have a red Gyarados.

I've never really done one of these Gamestop events, but I plan on giving it a shot. (mainly because I'd like Diancie and Gengar) I hope its not as difficult as others say it is.

@Porky
I've heard stories like that before, its just some less than honest employees trying to boost their numbers. The only reason for these in-store events is to draw customers to the store, in this case OR/AS is coming out and they're hoping you'll pre-order while there.

Thats actually the only reason I'm not bothered, since I'm waiting to see if we might get the limited edition steel case and figurines. I don't like how they're back to back though, I get Diancie being exclusive, but the shiney Gengar with it's mega stone is pointless.

@Sergio151
"I just asked if they had a Pokemon event and the clerk said yes. He handed me the card for it then that was it."

Same here, I had no issues whatsoever. It was straightforward and easy.

Heyyy, Diancie gets here on my birthday! Thanks for the present, Game Freak!

Coming to Aus?

I missed the last events we got because my store didn't get enough codes for everyone. So disappointing they're sending these out with distribution codes again, especially Diancie.

I do not understand what's with The Pokémon Company and Pokémon distribution using tangible serial codes in only select stores in select countries. What about Pokémon fans in other countries who had also desired these rare Pokémon?

But... I'm in Australia

@Drawdler
If you check my recent posts I listed a code for the last promo. Not sure if anyone used it or even if it's still in date. Worth a try though.
I found that codes were easy to get weeks afters after the release date, when more stock had arrived. My GB Hi-Fi had a ton left a couple weeks ago.

Europe =/= UK

I'm French and I know I'm not getting my paws on any of those... For we don't have GAME anymore.

Aww, the tagline in the article made me think it was a WiFi event. We don't have GAME in Ireland either so no Diancie for us. So frustrating.. Is there any chance Nintendolife could ask Pokémon Company International if they will do something to bring these events to ALL of their fans, not just those lucky enough to live in the right countries

Is this event more like the Magmar/Electabuzz (code) or Charizard (instore wifi) distribution?

@Kosmo Same here. All our GAME stores are closed and I have no way of access other then the the GTS where people will look for unrealistic trades.

Is this coming to australia and if so when?

@Kosmo In hindsight that's actually a good thing.

North America is more than just the US. And so far this event is US and UK only.

Sorry, I already got my trolling gengar.

.....ugh, Gamestop. I stopped going to Gamestop when they ripped me off for the second time, and I'm not talking about trade-in ripoffs. They literally stole money from me but it was my word against theirs so I got no where fighting it.

....but I would like those special Pokemon.

i hope they come with ther mega evolution stones

Pokémon: The pioneer of obtuse DLC

I don´t know how to get into these events Could anyone help me please? I'm not that noob xD Sorrynotsorry.

Man, I'm so glad I have powersaves for Diancie since AUS distribution isn't always the best (at least where I am) :/ why no wifi distribution??!?

I am excited for this but I am hoping it's not like the Pinsir/Heracross situation all over again. When I was at gamestop preordering AS, the dude wanted nothing to do with me and JUST barely gave me the card after a couple minutes of convincing him. I am also wondering if I actually have to buy/preorder something in order to get the code this time around =t

Do want. I'll be stalking Nintendo.no everyday for news of a distribution in Norway. Can't miss out on this.

@IcyWolfosKelsos
You don't, and anyone telling you otherwise is just bsing you. They do these kid of events in hope you will though, just getting people into a store suppossedly raises the likelyhood they'll will buy something.

Sorry to hear you had to deal with some jerk who can't separate personal and business. Sad thing is he probably doesn't realize that it'd be his loss. Next time you should just ask if they want your business or not.

@Zombie_Barioth (^_^)/ Yay! Thank you so much for the reply!

Cool I will have to get them on the weekends !

Any Darkrai newss anyone!
