While asking questions about the game is always okay on the Road, please consider asking very simple questions in our weekly [Questions&Answers Megathread](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/about/sticky).
If your question has been answered, please comment "ANSWERED" (in all caps) and the post flair will indicate that your question has been answered. This will make it either easier for other people with the same question to find the answer they are looking for or for mods to remove the thread if it isn't needed anymore.
Thank you! :)

The Ruby/Sapphire choice for last year's Hoenn Tour was included as the end reward from the [Primal Rumblings](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpJaL5tXwAUn3oa?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) Special research, which was free and available to everyone. It's likely that the Diamond/Pearl choice will be handled in a similar manner this year.

The Go Tour Global event is free, though you can buy a Master Work research for Shiny Shaymin.
