or maybe since Japan is filled with people open about pokemon instead of intl fans who feel they are part of an stigmatized community and won't openly participate on events

dunno man, when Mcdonalds Japan has a pokemon event, the damn places always packed with kids playing and trading.

when Toys R Us or Gamestop has an event - there's one lonely guy in the corner discreetly raking out his DS, getting his downloads and then getting the fuck out of there.

There's little reason to have many in-store public events if that's the reception you get.

Then why would they wait so much to say it?
I mean it's bullshit since in 80% of the world you could get the game at least 2 days early but it was Canada who leaked most of the stuff.
I mean yeah we got Hawlucha and Mega Charizard X from Italy (I think) but all the leakers that got Nintendoed were canadiens.

It makes the opposite of sense for it not to, considering that it's gotten the same release as america for other games. People who think they're being "punished" aren't thinking.

The games sell out pretty quickly in certain locations, often having to wait a week or so for another shipment. They could use that excuse to bolster the US supplies while letting Canada sweat it out a little.

Well then why don't they release it on the 21st in Europe? If they could do it for X and Y I think they could pull it off this time too, especially since it's only 1 week delay.

You know, evolution means reaching some kind of goal, and from that moment that should be standard. Since they started having simultaneous releases it would be just normal to expect it once again.

>evolution means reaching some kind of goal
No it doesn't. It means cross-generational adaptation to one's environment by gradual mutation, wherein those whose mutations prove beneficial live long enough to pass them on.

Or for Pokemon, it means metamorphosis which boosts stats and maybe changes your type, ability, and/or movepool. I wouldn't call that a goal, at least not in circumstances where someone wants one of the earlier stages of a Pokemon for some reason. Like to take advantage of Eviolite. Or to prove a point. Or because its evolution is horrible. Or it's Pikachu and the Trainer is an idiot.

Yeah, sadly, the GBA ones were more social since you had to stand in line to get your pokemon, and while we waited we would trade/battle with the people behind or in front of us.

This strange behavior only started when they did wireless events that ran for 1-2 weeks.

The socialness of it didn't stop in Japan though, and there were funny enough, little kids who were more than happy to trade pokes with the strange adults with their DS's out.

Nips hate going to events just as much as we do.
They are often overly complicated and the kids are annoying as fuck.

Pokemon is a casual game in Japan unlike elsewhere where they're mostly dominated by manchildren.

Salarymen, kids, housewives, neckbeards, yakuza, politicians, they all play Pokemon hence the number and exclusivity of events.

What I find unacceptable is the extreme rarity of event legendaries and items like the Azure Flute back in DPPt outside of Japan.

In my experience the Toys R Us ones were fairly social in Gen IV, but then all the "I don't want to go to a store for an event" stuff started appearing more online during Gen V and suddenly people stopped going to the ones I went to.

The GameStop ones were always shit though.
