I am also a fan of the dual region thing, and the content.
I’m surprised they gave those moves to Pikachu, but I also should not be surprised. Series mascot. I am usually not a “oh it’s popular so it sucks” person, but the overexposure and favoritism of Pikachu in other Pokémon media sadly ruined some enjoyment of the otherwise cute critter for me ;-;
It was a special event route for the Pokewalker, but you can unlock it via connecting your 3DS to a pirate network. The myth of Surfing Pikachu was a whole thing back around Gen 1&2 proper so I think they did this one-time event around the time of HGSS release as a nod to that.
I am so glad you liked my post :)
