DS games don't have "PAL versions". </nitpick>

This is meh. Although it'll be a quick way to get Occa and Wacan Berries.

Wait, did they say May 6?
Isn't May 6th tomorrow?
Doesn't that mean that it's available TOMORROW?

I wonder if this shortened "reveal to event" period means that there's a possibility of that rumor about the Gamestop Celebi in May being true.

WAIT! According to the artwork, there is a Magikarp! Does that mean MAGIKARP will know another move other than splash, tackle, and flail?!?!?!?

Read the Bulbapedia article on the course. Magikarp will know Bounce.

Whoops! I see it now! But do you have to beat the game first and receive the National Dex, or would the pokemon from different regions just show up with ???? on the pokemon summary pages?

Which is lucky, because PAL versions were usually a joke back in the NES days.

It's still an acceptable way to refer to European English versions, though. Although EU would also work.

EU is an abbreviation for European Union, and it doesn't include all European countries. PAL is easily understood as the European version, but EUR would work too.

Either way, most people just take it to mean Europe. PAL is a dying video standard; I doubt kids know what it is, or its relation to Europe.

One of the advantages of a Wi-Fi event, I guess. They can go on longer than most retail events would, are more easily accessible, and don't need to be announced so far in advance.

It's a shame they don't use Wi-Fi to distribute more events.

xD Yeah, it is kinda weird that they did. Though, I see no problem with it.
I'm with you on the Exploding Munchlax though. =D

Well they have done many events over wifi, not just a few.
But yeah I agree they are better.

Finally, the one useful path. Even their super common Bronzor is useful. Me want asplodin' Snorlax.

Someone's forgetting the Quiet Cave. I agree with you on the asploding 'Lax, though.

But most have been items. They still leave 99% of the event Pokemon to be given out at retail events, aside from the Nintendo Zone Jirachi and 10th Anniversary Mew in Japan, and the Pikachu-coloured Pichu for EUR (that one's for Sephiroth ).

While I manage to get the retail ones regardless, I'd still appreciate it if they at least were to make all the in-game event unlocking Pokemon available over Wi-Fi.

Yes but Quiet Cave requires a huge amount of watts. This route dosnt need any.
