Time locked pokemon? How long has this been a thing. Yes, there have always been event pokemon…
They’re version exclusives, silly, something that’s been around since Gen 1. The timed event allows players to catch the other version’s exclusives in the wild.
I suppose that is a minor improvement to my old system of: buying both, and catching them all, then getting a friend to help me trade them over.
