On November 8, 2014, an event was held in {{wp|Toronto, Ontario}} commemorating the upcoming launch of [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. The event, known as Canada's Pokémon Video Game Event, offered attendees the chance to try out the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]] and [[Pokémon Art Academy]]. Other activities were held including colouring pages and photo opportunities with {{p|Pikachu}}. Attendees were offered posters of the [[Hoenn]] region and codes to download the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version at home — each card came with two codes, with the second one intended to be shared with a friend of the recipient. At the end of the event, attendees who stayed were shown a free screening of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', which features many settings based on locations in Canada. | |||
