Bolt the Cat said:Does it really matter? As far as they know, it's a cool, different looking Pokemon that they can't get anywhere else. That's reason enough for them to go out and get one.
Doesn't explain the Hydreigon/Golurk event. And what about the shiny Rayquaza for Conquest, what role does it play in the game anyway?
Which is why I said there's some reason why Goon's Scizor, Ash's Scraggy, Shiny Hydreigon and Golurk were only distributed in Japan and Korea.
