The only thing about this that makes me unhappy is...WHY IS MELOETTA THE LAST ONE!!!

Wait wait! I get it...Save the best for last right?...

right! Save the best for the last!
But my question is another... why GameStop??? Why?? I'm really happy that most of the distribution will be via Nintendo Network but I'm not happy for the GameStop since it will be difficult to find them

Sorry to tell you but I'm happy it's GameStop since there is one walking distance from my house. I'd get you a code but I don't think NA codes will work for European games unfortunately...

Thank you but like you already said, NA codes don't work in Europe ^^
I hope my GameStop will have some codes... or I hope to be lucky and go to the ones that aren't near here (and get some codes for a giveaway here on the forums )

Oh yea that's a good idea! And I can try to get some for NA members!

Great! Thank you so much!!

 

[Shinso Vampire Nagato]

Great! Thank you so much!!

I should hopefully be able to get a few since I'm friends with the Manager

 

[Shiny_Pikachu]

This is awesome news I never thought we would get so many events at one time.

Finally all the old Mythical Pokémon will have the blue pentagon! I hope to get a good Darkrai and use it in a future online competition

 

[MrPigsworth]

Does this mean that we won't be able to receive these Pokemon in the new game(s) that come out this year? I mean, Pokemon Z has to be coming in 2016, right?

Since they haven't announced Z for now, it's for the games that were already released... and if they will release Z it will be near the end of the year so they will have left 2-3 Pokémon that will be reedemen in XY/ORAS and traded to Z

Ugh, I was kinda hoping for Z and Gen 7 this year since we got nothing in 2015 but alright.

Usually it's impossibile for a game like Z and a new generation to be released the same year... maybe we will get Z this year (at the end) and the first news about the gen 7 with the movie and the next gen plus the game in 2017

It's Ninetendo. They've already shown us that they can do whatever they want xD

It's GameFreak and they have shown that they can wait to release Z XDD

 

[Shinso Vampire Nagato]

The most likely reason we didn't get anything for 2015 are probably:
1. Saving for 20th Anniversary.
2. Making sure they make it the best!
Cause think we will most likely be getting Battle Frontier, and who knows what other locations! Whether this game will be a sequel or 3rd installment (Crystal, Emerald, Platinum), there are always new locations to explore.

Crystal- Battle Tower
Emerald- Battle Frontier, Dessert Underpass, Mirage Tower, Enemy Bases, etc.
Platinum- Distortion World & Battle Frontier
B2W2- Too many to count!

I agree for the 1st one and... I hope that the 2nd one will be true (but in reality I hope for a new game and not a sequel or 3rd installment...)
