Since it's free for the first month, it does kind of remind me of how Pokemon Black and White had Victini available through wifi for a limited time right after its release, or how Platinum had the Secret Key event in the same way. It's used to encourage people to buy the game quickly before the promotion runs out, only this time you can still get it afterwards if you're willing to pay for it. I guess whether that's good or bad depends on whether you feel that's fair or exploitative.
I wonder if they'll do something like that for the 3DS Pokemon games...
