What ever happened to stuff like this?

Nowadays when you claim a Mystery Gift, you just get it handed to you by a woman in the Pokemon Center. That's boring as fuck.

Having little mini-events makes finding mythicals and legendaries a lot more exciting.

This.
It's not like this was started by Gen 5 or anything.

Giovanni event in HGSS was the best in my opinion, I'd like to see more like that.
Don't think you could get outside of Japan without cheating though which was a shame.

You couldn't. The Spiky Eared Pichu was a nice event too and that did make it over. A shame it was never transferrable anywhere.

I think with the move to 3D you'd have to make a ton of new assets for the event that wouldn't be used anywhere else that would take up space

After ultimately deciding the Azure Flute was "too confusing" (see:going to Spear Pillar, using the Flute and then capturing a Level 80 Arceus) for younger players, GameFreak completely dropped events of a similar nature after Victini.

God the Azure Flute event was so cool

Most of the Gen3-4 events were so cool

It will appear in a post game fetch quest just like Deoxis. Also, no battle frontier

3DS cards hold up to 8 GB. SM is 3.2 GB total

They could literally add 2 Alola Maps worth of event islands. Space is not an issue

Which is a shame because going to a place and battle the mythical is way cooler than receiving an Overpowered pokémon out of the blue

Man I fucking loved that Regi puzzle. Was awesome having to translate all of it and how random some of the criteria were.

Arceus is too confusing.

To get Regigigas in ORAS you need to have Regirock/ice/steel in your party and Regice needs to be nicknamed and holding an icy item.

You then need to go to Regice's cave during the day.

But taking a flute to Spear Pillar is too confusing.

Now with the online accessibility of the 3DS, these events would be even better. Damn shame

I read in some Nintendo magazine around the time X&Y was released that they stopped doing events like this to prevent map leaks and bugs that happened in Gen 4.

I don't see how the confusing argument holds up, even for young players.

These sorts of cool events are hardly like trying to find a DLC entrance in a From Software game blind.

You know the actual reason is because people used bugs to straight up walk to Darkrai and Shaymin. They don't want that shit to happen again, they released a bunch of events in Gen IV that were handed out purely to invalidate the ones that people got by cheating this way. I imagine they didn't do events again as a precaution against a similar bug happening.

I just wish the morons would learn how to fucking patch, there is no reason we should be able to access Ash-Pikachu and Marshadow right now when they could patch in events for them later without any fear of them being accessed early.
