If they're gonna give them out like that they might as well have just had a shop somewhere in the game you could buy them from. At least then if you wanna restart the game in a year after the codes expire it's not like you can never get them again. :(

The greatest disappointment for me actually came after I had finished the games, and that was the lack of a National Dex and new dex entries for the rest of the Pokemon. :/ I don't think I should have to buy Bank in order to access a National Dex when the whole point of the game is to try and fill the dex. I hope they rectify that in the next game.
Hm... yeah that's true. I mean with stones like the Mewtwo mega stones and Diancie mega stone it would make sense for them to be distributed because why on earth would the Battle Tree have those. I think they're just trying to encourage more people to battle in the competitions online, which I don't really see much harm in on its own.

Yeah sadly I don't think that's getting changed. As disappointing as it is, I think that's going to be the new system from now on because it allows for you to view the dex entries from multiple previous games all in one place.
