As we informed you a few days ago, Nintendo has been planning to perform a wireless distribution of a free code that will gift players of Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire with an Eon Ticket; it's an item that will enable trainers to visit the Southern Island and catch either Latios or Latias, depending on which version is owned. The Eon Ticket was initially delivered to a few select players by Junichi Masuda - the Pokémon series producer - with the idea being that it'd spread as it was duplicated and passed along to new players via StreetPass. As it would happen, not everybody lives in highly populated areas and some were left out.
For those of you who still haven't received it, Nintendo is bailing you out. North American players need only to enter the code "2015LATIOSLATIAS" under the mystery gift tab to have the fabled ticket bestowed upon them. For Europeans, the code is "POKEMON380381". Obviously, an internet connection is required to receive this, but hopefully this should ensure that just about everybody gets an Eon Ticket. Do be quick about it, though, as the event's over on Monday!
It's always good to see Nintendo doing little post-release support things such as this and it's doubtless there will be more event Pokémon to come. Will you be downloading this? If not, when did you receive your Eon Ticket?

Don't need the code. Thank you home pass. Got the ticket within a few days of its first release.
So basically, for all of those people who complained that Streetpass distribution was unfair... did Nintendo have this planned all along? Or are they listening to demand?
Well, I'm happy. I can finally get this. I don't even know if the Streetpass thing was avaliable in the big states on Brazil, let alone the small ones, like the one I live. A lot of people miss out on these things, that's why I think they should just make online distribution in the first place.
Thank you, worked for me! Also going to put in the codes for Emboar and Serperior. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/01/reminder_grab_your_free_emboarnfor_pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphire
I got it over StreetPass. I probably had it for over a month before I realized it. I didn't click the update button in my BuzzFeed until recently and then it informed me that I got an Eon Ticket. I was like, oh wow, that was random. However, I was really unimpressed with the whole Southern Island ordeal anyway. I was already given Latios in the game, so Latias was rather pointless. And the Soul Dew can't be used at the Battle Resort, so there was no point in getting that item for in-game use.
got the eon ticket legit way nerdz. even without home pass
Streetpass stinks.
Why this codes events are? (Thankfully that code work global, or not. Only Europe and North America.)
To piss all of people?
Exlusive for Japan its ok.
You can play online in pokemon in all places on Earth (excluding north and south pole) so why not give all events global?
And this dumb limit for 12 games for Streetpass...
Put the code in and it downloaded but I'm not seeing it in my inventory. You guys know what's going on?
@Ninty4thewin yes, it's for the one you didn't get.
@Peppy_Hare you pick it up from a delivery girl in the pokemon center.
I'm extremely far from getting to level 30, so I won't be using that for a while.
I live in a street pass scarce zone, so probably wouldn't have got this till the summer when there are tourists about
I got my ticket via street pass a while ago, I just need to remember to use it.
Grabbed mine today, now I have to finish this game. I keep getting diverted by others in my backlog.
So from reading other comments I'm assuming I don't need to use this by Monday but just get the ticket? Then it don't matter how long I wait to get Pokemon?
@wicked636 ^You need to get the ticket through mistery gift and putting the code, talk with the girl in the pokemon center and that's all, with that ticket you can get latios/latias (depending on the game) even after monday... but ONLY if you get the ticket now
Where do we input the code?
@bernardtullassa You go on mystery gift then receive a gift and it will ask you to input the code
@luinikex thanks I was thinking (and hoping) that's what it is because I'm going to restart again today.
I only just got it. But I only started playing Pokemon Alpha Sapphire today
@bernardtullassa At the start screen, instead of loading your save game, go onto 'Mystery Gift' and connect to the internet....you'll be given an option to receive a gift by inputting a code there. Then once it's downloaded, go to any Poke Center in the game and there's a woman standing in front of the main desk who'll give it to you.
Just got it. Can't wait to use it! But first I have to finish Majora's Mask. But THEN I'll use it.
Sorry! I already it have! But i can make my own secret tricks for save up whatever i can take a Eon Tickets!
And I played through that awful cave, where a wild pokemon appears every two steps, for an hour in GAME Birmingham on the Eon release ticket day! All that effort and now it's a code? Hmph!
Does show that the StreetPass relays still aren't good enough in some parts of the world. And StreetPass can be one of the best elements of the 3DS. That's Nintendo though. Great promise, poor delivery in some respects. Recipe for frustration.
