>>38346426>what is the REAL reason they never gave out the Azure Flute?My guess?
Game Freak clearly isn't good at planning out these distributions in advance.
By the time they were ready to release Arceus, Platinum was old news and HGSS was te hot new game, so there was no point in releasing the Azure Flute. No doubt the movie schedule had some impact on this, since GF is effectively forced to distribute these events a year at a time for maximum shilling.
It makes me wonder why they even programmed in those areas in DP if they knew they'd never be released on time, but again, they're not good at planning ahead.
