It was basically terrible planning by Nintendo that caused this mess.
Phhf, terrible planning my butt. They couldn't even prevent hacked Pokemon from getting imported over to X and Y from the previous GBA and DS games via Pokémon Bank / Pokémon Transporter in Japan while the rest of us sit here and wait til the app arrives for the 3DS when by the time it gets released in North America, Europe, and other countries it would cause a server overload that would result in more delays by Nintendo's handling with this. If Nintendo permanently cancels Pokémon Bank / Pokémon Transporter outside Japan then that will severely hurt sales for Pokémon X and Y around the world which means that the 3DS will hurt in sales as much as the Wii U right now. Japan is spoiled enough as it is when it comes to the Pokémon franchise and this further proves it, yeah where's my Shiny Rayquaza and Lightningrod Zapdos? -___-
So If you live outside Japan you're best bet would be to get a Pokemon that's been imported via Pokémon Bank / Pokémon Transporter on GTS or Wonder Trade although GTS is about as unreliable as it was in Gen IV and Gen V so the odds of getting the Legendaries you want are going to be slim I suppose. One of my friends who plays Pokémon X and Y already has a Japanese Darkrai and Japanese Mew that he got from someone online who imported them from Pokémon Bank / Pokémon Transporter so it depends on your trade stuff and what you obtain on your Friend Safari's. I've been thinking about taking a break from playing my Pokémon X version until Pokémon Bank / Pokémon Transporter is released outside Japan If we're lucky that is. Now I see why DNA gave up on the Pokémon franchise altogether, it doesn't seem like Nintendo knows what they're doing anymore or they actually care more about Japanese gamers than the fanbase that got them where they are in the first place.
