With 3DS having DLC, do you think we'll finally have unknown event pokes?

Or will they just say it makes the game faster when playing online (though I don't even now if we could find that out yet, with the 3DS's anti piracy working so far correct?)

So do you think they'll finally be kept secret next gen?

Cart Locked content = CLC or
Free Downloadable Content = FDC - Pokemon Ranger missions/Wifi Events or
Paid Downloadable Content = PDC - New missions on other games, like COD.

We already have FDC, so I'm guessing PDC. But I really would like special missions like the ranger ones to get limited edition pokemon. (Special shinyness/special moves/special design/special dex no.)

The big thing with Pokemon is trading and battling others. DLC-only Pokemon that aren't already on the cart will be awkward to battle and impossible to trade.

Okay, yes, there was the Spiky-eared Pichu. Fans hated it, though, and it was just a variant of a Pokemon that already existed.

If they were going to charge for event Pokemon, they'd have done so years ago, so don't bother with that argument.

I hadn't thought of that. Just patch them in when they're officially revealed.
I wonder if Game Freak is smart enough to do it...

The only way they could do this that I can see is by somehow making the patch 'contagious' - connecting to another game with the DLC causes your 3DS to download it from the other game, or at least some kind of compatibility patch. Of course, this would only really work with free DLC, but hopefully, like you say, we won't ever get paid event Pokemon.

Is it really that difficult to make it so you download from some else. I am not very techy.

You mean like...

Trainer A downloaded ****
Trainer B's pokedex does not recognize this pokemon
downloading data
Pokemon unlocked

I suppose a contagious patch could do it, but it'd be a little wonky with the National Pokedex and any future gens.
