Question: Should gift Pokemon from spin-offs & bonus discs be modeled?

[notblisy]

Certain Pokemon are only available in the main series not through special, one time events, but through gifts from side series or spin-off games.

Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Jirachi, Celebi, Manaphy, and the game Pokemon Dream Radar.

Jirachi:

• In the US in gen 3 this Pokemon is only available from a special disc you got when you pre-ordered Pokemon colosseum. They go on ebay for around 300~ USD at the moment and are not single use. You can receive as many jirachi as you'd like, and it can even be shiny.

• In Non US and Non JP regions Jirachi is available as a gift from the game Pokemon channel.

Celebi:

• Like the US Jirachi, Celebi is available on a special disc you got for pre-ordering Pokemon colosseum, but only in Japan.

Manaphy:

• Manaphy is available to be sent over from Pokemon ranger.

I propose we include these 3 Pokemon by making new encounter_methods in encounter_methods.csv called outside game(or something similar), and the locations could just be US Colosseum Bonus Disc, Pokemon Channel, JPN Colosseum Bonus Disc, and Pokemon Ranger.

I also don't think it's important to have other info about these games.

Pokemon Dream Radar:

• This 3DS E-Shop title features a few legendaries and a ton of regular Pokemon you can capture, all with hidden abilities. The chief purpose of this game is to catch said Pokemon and send them to your copy of Black 2 or White 2. It serves no real purpose otherwise, its hardly even a game on its own.

For dream radar, I think we could make a new encounter method called dream radar, and the location areas could be the extension you need to get said Pokemon.

EDIT:

Thinking of it now, Dream Radar info could also be applied to the Pokewalker. Pokewalker would be encounter method, not a location, and the locations would be the pokewalker levels they may appear in.
