Well, considering the options they have for releasing Pokemon such as at TRU, Gamestop, Dw, Wifi- it is kind of hard to say how/where/when Pokies will become available let alone what countries will get what Pokies for any specific reason.
Since most of the Legendary Pokies are not so easy to access without having to go throgh alot of work and using so many games to do so, the trend seems to be to release Pokies that by-pass all that work so that the new gen of players will have something to look forword to to keep them playing.
Just because 1mill plus carts sell, does not mean that all 1mill plus are all in the competative scene. I remember how long it took just to get a legit Mew for the first time. Yes, I do not think that it matters what the competative community thinks or has to say when it comes to what Pokies are scheduled to be released since our numbers are so minimal compared to the general public.
Most of the event Pokies are not even useable or worth the time to us competative players, and event Pokemon are mostly novalty or Pokedex reasons or trade value. IMO, the three dogs are good release Pokies for battle worthyness since the move sets are worth making them playable.
As long as the competative players are out-numbered, we do not have much to look forword to for these kind of things.
Sure, release Genosect, it'll sit in my PC foreever cuz it will never see the light to be allowed to use in the competative scene anyways.
For the video game, releases like this Arceus is like the novalty cards such as the one seen here:

I think what should be done is that at large events where the VGC is supported, they should have a battle worthy Pokemon with something special move set wise as a small token for attending. (dont get me wrong on this next sentence): Sure, shiny Eevee and shiny Milotic are cool and all, and battle worthy to an extent, but like in Japan- they get a good amount of Pokies that we never see here in the US. Although I do see an increase in DW Pokies being distributed world-wide, I hope we get some more goodies that will fit into our competative side of things for the game sake.
Besides, we all should know that "God" always wins in a poll, right? ( I know, I know, but, whatever!:wink
