It's also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It's also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue

I hated event Pokémon with a passion growing up. I bought my game boy on the US, but I would live half of the year in a country neglected by Nintendo, once back on the states for the working season (my parents) you could only get them by traveling somewhere stupid like New York (I lived in the other coast). Even when they started using mall wifi on game stores as events I still always associated it with a life I would never have and didn’t even bother as I could never legitimately complete a Pokédex so why try to start now. I can see how that would work in Japan perhaps, but maybe the country kids felt left out as well.

Oof I feel you there, I never got any event distribution that was tied to a real life location because they just never did them in the countries I lived in. ;; The wi-fi ones imo mitigated this a bit since you could get them anywhere so long as you had a wi-fi connection, but it is a bummer so many things in these games are now forever locked away due to time

I’ll have to look into seeing if this can get some of the DQ9 stuff. Thanks for making my brain work.
