>>37075156>non-japanese personCorrect.
>just so happens to know that a mew event is going to be occurring in japanNope. Just got Emerald because I thought it'd be neat to beat all my friends to the punch. You may not remember, but a shit ton of Americans imported DP because they couldn't wait. I had never gotten a Mew before and the Japanese event was promoted advertising the Mew and Jirachi months in advance.
>somehow correctly guesses this event will never be available in the west despite being coded into the gameNope, see above. I just wanted a Mew before everyone else in my class.
>somehow correctly guesses that all western mew events won't be able to be shiny so this japanese event will be his only shot at a shiny mewNope, just wanted a shiny Mew because I had just discovered shinies and thought if I had a shiny Japanese Mew it would be even better than the Mews my friends would have when they got their own.
>just so happens to have a japanese pen pal who his capable of attending the event for himCatholic school, senpai. Just got lucky enough to be paired with a Japanese kid who was also into Pokémon so he told me about upcoming shit.
>just so happens to know that english carts can't receive japanese events and he'll have to acquire a japanese copy of the game to get said eventEmerald wasn't out in NA yet, silly. I got it originally to play the game before everyone else. Japanese events didn't even cross my mind when I got it.
>claims he had to go through "way too much effort" to acquire said japanese game even though he could've easily had his pen pal buy it for him"Way too much effort" to get the Mew, silly. I got the game on eBay in 2004 along with some Yugioh shit.
