Hoopa to be distributed in the US and France: Starting November 2 in France, November

[Jenneta]

Ugh, I hate Mcdondalds, but for a Hoopa (which I don't have) I'll sit there for a few minutes and download the things...If they come to my small town Mcdonalds's, anyways, that's always the part I'm unsure about. D: I hope so; I could get four Hoopas out of this, one for myself and three others to gift away. o3o.

There is nothing about New Zealand getting the Hoopa event. That is just typical.

Has anyone checked yet? How are we getting this?

Just got the event Hoopa here in Miami. I sat in the parking lot in my car to do it cause ugh people ^<__<^;; Anyway, make sure you connect to "McDonald's Free Wifi" in your internet settings, then choose "get via Internet" in the Mystery Gift options to get Hoopa.

Just FYI: this only works on American systems. Even if you take a foreign game system there and connect to the internet you cannot get Hoopa.

This event is also only available in the US. It is not a NORTH America event. Those in Canada are going to have to result to changing their network SSID in order to get the Event.

So can anyone explain how this at all makes sense?

Nintendo Zone is discontinued (which is the only reason that it could be tied to stores) so instead they ask you to connect to McDonalds' free wifi...but its not local wireless, and their wifi sucks

._.

Nintendo is having you go to a specific location to get Hoopa from the internet where their wifi doesn't even work.

EDIT:
Also, I just did this on my phone:

Used mobile tethering so after wasting time at a McDonalds, I got a Hoopa in the comfort of my own home.

They want kids to go to McDonald's and get a Hoopa at the same time they're giving out Pokémon toys with Happy Meals. That's why it's only at McDonald's.
