That should work, though I think you might have to play through the intro each time to do it.
Yes, and?
You know they've been doing online distributions since 2008 right?
I think people continue to forget the point of event distributions...

You do realize last year we had all 12 months of 2016 devoted to each event legendary from GameStop?

Remember the days when we either couldn't get an event Pokémon cause it was Japan only and we didn't have the .sav file for it? Or when we had to drive to special, rare three or five day event areas that were hosted by a company with our cartridge in hand in order to get the Pokémon? Those sure were fun times.

Not all of those months were store distributions.
About 4 of them were gamestop. The rest were online.

Ash wore his Original Cap in Johto
I meant that I wish Johto wasn't the only (not counting the Orange Islands) region to not have its own hat in the anime, though I understand why since it was part of the original series.
Whoever makes these decisions needs to check their ego at the door. Playing Pokemon games, and acquiring Pokemon, shouldn't be like some great privilege where western fans should feel fortunate to get the some of what Japan got. It's 2017 and fans outside Japan are still getting half-assed treatment when it comes to some event Pokemon. Hopefully it'll be like the Legendary pokemon Events where people had a second chance to get what they wanted.

Started a new game on Sun to get this Pikachu, send it to my main Moon, and then erase the Sun save to get the next Pikachu.
But oh god, what a painful idea this was. The start is such a slog. So many cutscenes, so much talking, and why do I have to battle Hau twice? Each time, Lillie has to remind us that she doesn't really like Pokémon fighting.

Couldn't you just send them to Bank and restart?

Go Hoenn, both are kinda the same, but it at least keeps a little bit of the green from the OG.

Bank or Moon, doesn't really matter, but getting to the point where you can pick up the gift is the slog.
I was a few feet away from the Pokecenter and there's a damn Tauros in the way til I go visit the lab. Urrrgghh.
Can't obtain the Pikachu and put it in a Box to Bank until the Pokémon Center either
So we're SOL if we want to game the system to get all the Pikachu variations?

One down, many to go.
If you only have one version, it's going to be a little tougher. You'll need to nab the event Pikachu, then dump it and everything else you have into Bank, and start an entirely new save for the next Pikachu.

That's what I was asking. It's no big deal to me since I have Bank

Just spotted that the ID No. is the date the first episode aired in the US. That's cute.
Well of course, the access to homebrew systems makes the whole thing even easier. You can just delete the Mystery Gift from your save if you want to make it work again, that would probably be the easiest method of all.

Lol it's not even a choice
Indigo League for me.
Thanks OP I thought I'd missed it

I couldn't tell you why they're doing it this way.
I'll hold off on restarting until the next code is out, but I'll transfer everything over now

Okay cool, since I've got both versions. Gonna gotta get Pokebank again though.

You haven't missed any, this is the first.
And yeah, just enter the code in the Mystery Gift function at the title screen, then pick up your gift in a Pokemon Center.

Yeah, like hell I'm going to restart my 200+ hour Sun save with all battle items and mega Stones and shit. Game Freak is stupid.
Iron Tail is meh for a Pikachu, and Pikashunium uses Thunderbolt so it's going to be a special sweeper anyway. Might as well just get the Indigo/Johto Pikachu.
Also here's the trailer for the gift: https://youtu.be/_D9FgRBhmWM

Got the original hat version on Sun, and will get Sinnoh on Moon, then transfer them both over via PokeBank to Ultra Sun, and use the original hat one on my first run through that game.
Nice of them to be level 1. Usually these event Pokemon come at level 50 and are unusable in the main story.

They're all different level, actually, though not by much.
Original is 1
Hoenn is 6
Sinnoh is 10
Unova is 14
Kalos is 17
Alola is 20
But yeah, your point still stands. Too often we get level 50 and level 100 Pokémon, which are great if you've beaten the game, but not when you're still early on.
Wish there were a Johto hat
lol
I'm going with Kanto and not caring about the others. When I was a kid Hoenn was the latest one I watched up until so I was tempted to do that but no other hat gives me a warm fuzzy feeling like Kanto does.

Their levels are based on what season of the anime it is
