The
official site has updated and given details on how to receive event
Pokémon. This process runs similar to previous games with you selecting
Mystery Gift and then selecting the appropriate option. However, the
details have provided a new method of obtaining event Pokémon.
In
addition to Local Wireless, Nintendo Network Download and InfraRed, the
game also lists a new method of downloading: Serial Codes. Presumably
this will run akin to the Serial Codes on the Global Link within
Generation V. You can also have up to 24 Wonder Cards before having to
make room for a new event.
Events are also locked to the console & game's region, rather than the game's language so if you're playing a Japanese game in English, you will only receive Japanese events but Japanese games in English cannot receive North American events and vice versa. As a reminder, the Torchic event will be live online for all regions from October 12th to January 15th.
