Oldish news is old but I thought it would be worth posting to discuss how Japan gets awesome events and if the event is a way of hinting what's to come game-wise. I certainly hope it's the latter. :3

Originally announced by Masuda at a fan event at the Fukuoka Pokemon Center as being a Pikachu with Extremespeed to be distributed at Kyushu Shinkansens (to celebrate the one year anniversary of the full completion of the Kyushu bullet train line) (and one year anniversary of the Fukuoka Pokemon Center moving)... this event has exploded into a MASSIVE "Super-Powerful" Hoenn Pokemon giveaway.
A Pikachu knowing ExtremeSpeed will be distributed wirelessly on Shinkansens running in Kyushu from March 1st - May 6th.
Between March 17th and May 6th, a plethora of powerful Pokemon will be distributed by IR at 8 different train stations in Kyushu.
During each time period, you can randomly get one of three Pokemon.
Distribution 1: March 17 - April 1 will be Sceptile and two other unannounced Pokemon Distribution 2: April 2 - April 22 will be Milotic and two other unannounced Pokemon Distribution 3: April 23 - May 6 will be Metagross and two other unannounced Pokemon
During the same time period, you are able to visit other stations to try again

Furthermore! If you take the Pokemon you received at a station to the Pokemon Center in Fukuoka, you can receive one of the two main Legendary Pokemon from Hoenn (at level 80).
Groudon will be distributed from March 17 - April 15 Kyogre will be distributed from April 16 - May 6
However, if you have gotten the Pikachu from the trains, you will not be able to get Groudon/Kyogre on the same game card.
A possibility of 12 event Pokemon and we won't get any. ;-; I know it is to celebrate their Bullet Train but it would be nice to get something.

I'd say they're already pretty valuable. Well outside of Japan.

They should release these Pokemon with Dream World abilities. Make them all the more valuable.

Oh gosh, that's a lot. Sceptile, Milotic and Metagross seems like a strange trio to give out though. xD
you can just get the wondercards on the net if you don't have a jap rom.
And plus pokemon originated in japan didnt it?
