    [PokeCommunity.com] Event Pokemon Locations
    Hi everyone!
    Gen 3 had Faraway Island, Birth Island, and Navel Rock for Mew, Deoxys, Ho-oh, and Lugia. Gen 4 had Newmoon Island, Flower Paradise, and Hall of Origin for Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Gen 5 had the Liberty Garden so you could catch Victini.
    What did you think about these places where you could catch your mythical Pokemon? How do you feel about how Game Freak has stopped doing this? (Gen 6 and 7 didn't have any)
     
    Actually Gen 6 (OR/AS) had the island for getting the other version legendary (Latios/Latias) was it southern island? Needed the ticket to get there though from streetpass. Also you could technically say Cresselias island in OR/AS was like this too.

    X/Y sort of had an island where you eventually caught the legendary bird.

    I enjoyed having a special location for them honestly, was a nice extra bit of discovery along the way. I wish they'd do more like that though.
     
    I actually really liked the ideas of these event-only locations, it made me feel like the regions always had a secret place that I couldn't get to which, although it was frustrating, made the games feel less linear and like there was secrets they held.
     
    I hope they bring back the event locations in Sinnoh when/if they make Sinnoh remakes.
    Seabreak Path and the Flower Paradise would look great in 3D. Maybe they'll actually do an Azure Flute event.
     
    I'm not really a fan of the idea of event-only distribution tbh, though having legendary Pokémon hidden away on secret islands that can be accessed by some other, less exclusive method, would be pretty cool I suppose! I agree with James that having small secrets to discover is nice, I would just prefer if you didn't have to go to events to find them I guess.
