The regional pokemon
I didn't mind it much when heracross was available in Chicago not sure about anyone else but now with kang being around Europe and mr mime to be available in japan whats the general opinion for regional pokemon now as there being put in these events for hundreds to catch. Do you all think these regional pokemon lost their "exclusivity" and should be available all over now or should they remain region exclusives?

i dont know, my country(Brazil) took months to have a regional, wich is not that regional since it can be found in the US(where you can find 3 regionals without a passport but cant complain much because we have 2). As a third world citzen its a bit frustrating knowing that this kind of event is never going to happen here.
If you are "OK" with Heracross coming to the USA but "Not OK" with other regionals crossing ponds that sounds hypocritical :D
It sounds to me like Gen 3 will have more regional exclusives so there will always be a ball to chase for those players who "work so hard" (I mean happen to travel for reasons unrelated to Pokémon Go).
I was ok with it being part of go fest since it was the first event niantic put together also heracross loss meaning to me since its also catchable in 2 states but now as more events have happened and regionals being available I just question now whats the point of them now being relegated to one country now if they'll temporally migrate for an event.
They should keep them regional and add more regions in the future. It is fun to have something new to look out for in a strange country.
Currently I am on a stay in Colombia, but Heracross only appeared twice in 2 weeks, unlike the Mr Mime I see twice a day in Europe. It would be ridiculous if Heracross would appear all over Europe, and everyone has been able to select good IV ones, once I get back, except me ;)
I agree with some of the other comments that if they make them spawn like they do in these events, I'm now ok with them just rotating them too.
I used to just say, we don't get everything we want in life and they should keep them regional, but with all these regionals spawning like crazy at all these events, it's just not so special anymore to keep them "regional". I doubt they have much/if any trade value and honestly, every mon has already been "cheapened" with raids, spoofers (of course) so let everyone complete their dex too.
Maybe they can have NEW regionals or something for a while when Gen 3 comes out, but for now, just rotate them so people can complete their dex...
