Getting a Marshadow and not getting a Marshadow isn't really a big issue. It even drums up hype when they announce it. Event Mons shakes up the meta, and when done right binds the community together
>or worse, events locked behind expensive real-life events?What?
If you are talking about those Poke Center event Mons, those are hardly good anyways.
Microtransactions are just shit they broke off the main game and then sold it back to you. Imagine being sold the Battle Tree for 5 dollars, or 'unlocking' the Ultra Beast missions for 10 dollars.
Why does it seem you think these are even remotely similar??
