>>50173384The worst part is that there had been fixes in place and are usually used in other distributions, the main one I can think of right now is the serial number cards they give GameStop, or the QR codes for Pokemon Pass (which seems to be completely unused now, lmao), but using serial codes for Nintendo World would mean you would have to manufacture said cards and generate codes for exactly one store, and the QR codes can easily be co-opted in a few ways. Overall, I think TCPi basically said 'no more special events for people in the US' that are anything outside of Internet releases, VGC events, and mythicals, which is a shame because every time I visit NYC, I would like to get a special Pokemon like people used to be able to.
