I think they’re BS but I still treasure my legitimate Mew I got from a Pokémon event from a million years ago.
I am conflicted.
I think they cool, but fucking annoying as someone who is both European and wasn't around in the GBA era.
Oh god I’m old
My Mew is on my Pokémon Blue GB cart…
I mean, that battery is probably dead. If it's not, I think there's a fuckin' wild way to get it up to current gen if you're willing to crack your 3DS.
I have a cracked N3DSXL and a backup memory card for old gameboy games! But luckily, my original battery is still alive as well!
I feel a special connection to some of my event Pokemon because they are keepsakes. I appreciate their rarity because I actually went to get them, or plugged in the code, or whatever and others did not.
I'm old, so I remember missing out on Mew when there were extremely limited North American mall tours. Never won the Nintendo Power contests. Missed, skipped, or was wholly unaware of basically all of these. I refused to risk my save files to GameShark one, and I didn't understand how to execute the Emerald glitch to get one without an event item.
But then, I got to use my Adult Superpower of Spending Money on Whatever I Fucking Feel Like on Let's Go Pikachu with the Pokeball Plus. Now I have a Mew. Its name is Anne.
Nice. Still annoying from a gameplay thing, I don't hate the physical part but when its the only method that is annoying.
Yeah, I'm currently wondering how I'm going to get a Pokeball Pattern Vivillion.
Besides the pokemon the cherish ball being event only also sucks, its one of the prettiest balls
Oh man, I hope it stays that way. Filtering by "In a cherish ball" is currently the only way to find (most of, but not all of) your event Pokemon in Pokemon Home.
Nah, I just like the red and black ball
I don't really care in normal Pokemon games, but region locked Pokemon in Pokemon Go is the worst
They did what?
IIRC, among others, if you want a Kangaskhan, you have to actually go to Australia lol
I'm more bothered that the game will not let me name them! I jump through some hoops to get this thing and I can't even personalize it?
Wow, didn't know that
Gotta catch em all!
But let's make it impossible for pretty much everyone.
Gotta buy em all! Doesn't have the same ring to it
I use genpkm.com and then mystery gift pokemon, or just go outside if its available in your country
