Nobody Should Own This Pokémon Cartridge 

I worked at GameStop for 10 years. We always got in those Pokemon distribution carts. We were told to hang onto the old distribution carts for when our Pokemon rep came in to get them. He never did. We had like a dozen of them in the drawer for years. Now I wish I had snatched them up.

Ha I went to a '10ANNIV' event when I was /very/ young, it was at a theme park in Europe. I could choose 3 pokemon from the list to transfer to my game because I had a subscription to some magazine. Regular visitors could only pick one. So to answer your question in the video, no we did not get all of them. We actually had to write down on a form/paper which ones we wanted and all our address details, as they would take our cartridge, take it to Nintendo who would put the pokemon on the games maybe in the same way as you are doing in the video and they would then ship it back to us. We did not get these Pokemon right away or on location. Because I was a child with shitty handwriting I actually had never gotten it back until I called the Nintendo helpdesk and they were able to locate my game at their office! The person on the phone told me they could not read my address 😂 They shipped me the game back after the call and it all ended well. I still have all these Pokemon and transferred them to Pokemon HOME.

I am scared to think about just how much money this cart would be worth if it were authentic.

This was real event happend back in the day. i could remember when there was a waiting queue for around 5 hours in a amusement park in the netherlands. because the amount of people that came to the event alot of people couldnt even recieve there event pokemon. it was wild.

I didn't recall fire red/leaf green had a little recap animation when you resume your playthrough. Man, pokemon games were so full of detail before

7:30 A reason the Latis and dogs were distributed were due to them being roamers in game, said roamers in gen 3 have IV issues (bar hp) a capacity of 7 in attack (none of them use that stat in gen 3) and 0 in the rest. this is not the case for the Eon Island Latis, nor the Colosseum dogs.

i've used this rom on a flashcard before. you don't need to be in a pokemon center. so you can use this to escape trap situations.

Recently I’ve been really invested in the gen 3 games (including the gamecube ones) and just want to say great video hope to see more like this in the future.

Yep, I have the ROMs on my everdrive mini. Glad we can preserve events like this. Pretty sure you can buy e-reader reprints for the in game events. You just need to buy an e-reader

Im pretty sure the start + select at boot was the official way event carts sent you event mons in gen 3 to. (Purely based on my memory of said events as a small child.)

I once peeled the sticker off my Pac Man Gameboy cartridge as a kid and tried using it to blow my nose. Have no idea why but back then I really didn't know any better🤣

Definitely wanna see part 2. Also wanna see you sending those into Pokémon HOME.

Hey man! This is perfect timing as i just received my event Celebi cartridge yesterday, and the first video i watched on the topic was yours! I'd love to see more content like this in the future! For instance the Jirachi and Celebi bonus discs on the GameCube! In tbe meantime keep up the great work!

Have you tried the different languages to see if that is why is 140 pokemon.

Latios has fainted. "ah shit gotta pull out the other gameboy" A new Pokémon has arrived!

And now a shiny hunt for all of them

Can you make a dump of the cartridge files?

I love stuff like this as it breathes new life into these older pokemon games!

This can all be done for free with an e reader and special printer or through emulation(if you dont have an e reader). You can dump an emulated save and export it to a physical copy to transfer these mons up to Home. No need to buy repro copies. Imablisy has way better options for you to get these mons and there's so many more events that can be recreated or already have with e reader exploitation.

There might be more pokemon if you try scrolling down, then there might actually be 140.

What I'm interested in seeing is the errors or failsafes with not following the directions properly. These events were made knowing that people would be waiting lined up waiting to get a Pokemon and would want things moving as fastly as possible, so I assume that most people understood and followed the instructions to keep things moving. Like for example, if you have a full party, and/or didn't save in a Pokémon center. Since Gen 3 doesn't have any true game-breaking language-compatibility issues I'd be surprised if this was the case, but I also want to see what happens if you use the other language ROMs to try and distribute to the English one.

GBA operator can also give events to gba games. You need extra software but you can also backup your saves to your pc

I went to the toys r us mew event distribution for the 10th anniversary and it was amazing. I have the guide books and poke dex books with the 10th anniversary artwork on it. I remember these animations when we got the pokemon

awesome video man, you should make a part 2

No mew or deoxys events. Thats what i bought mine for… to relive the past

Part 2!! I'm in the process of moving all my pokemon from Gen 3 and above to pokemon home. Great timing.

Yep, event pokemon could have different natures, although IIRC there were several natures that couldn't be received for whatever reason.

Seeing a part 2 would be interesting

So exactly how in the hell can I get one of those cartridges?

An authentic all-in-one cart would probably be the Pokemon equivalent of the One Ring.

i would recommend putting a skin or case on your childhood gba, it will make it look like it was 5 years ago

i also used to peel the stickers off the cartridges i regretted it in the end that i used to print off the box art and tape them onto the cart xD

Definitely need a part two

Save yourself money and buy an ever drive, find the rom files yourself and pop them on the everdrive. They work the same. I have the 10th anniversary pokemon, the lugia/ho oh events, the mew event, and the eon ticket event. All of them work for RSE, FR and LG

I would like to see a Part 2 Please. Find more stuff like this Thanks.

Once I saw that some cartridges are actually limited in the amount of mons they can transfer (times, let's say), so, that might be what those +100 mean.

I was looking forward to this video

I would like to see a part 2 :3

When I was a kid, I picked off the leaf green and fire red stickers so I could write it with my own marker 😂🥲

I actually went to a 10ANNIV event way back when. I remember that there were two different lines for event Pokémon: one for a Celebi, and the other to select three out of ten Pokémon offered. I remember that I got multiple Celebis because I brought a few games!

I'm pretty sure we were able to vote which Pokemon were featured for that event!

Man this is pretty cool :O It would have been great indeed if it gave more then 10, but hey it’s something. Imagine it distributing the actual events tho, I would love to go to the special locations on a real game!

I wonder how long it would take to fill up every box...

"Im going to unplug it" Turns power off lol

Do a part two please. I want to see if this would pass the Pokémon home checks and get it into Gen 9

The events are real. They were downloaded to a flashcart and the case was 3D-printed. I know, because I've downloaded those events into an EZ Flashcart before. And checked the events to see if they were legit. They are. Also downloaded the Aurora ticket. Need the ones for Ho-Oh and Lugia but since I can get those two in Colosseum and GoD, I'm good.

Part 2 my dude

What if you press R or L? It looks like the number in the bottom right is what page you’re on.

Nice video, that was interesting for sure, anyways, keep it up!

Where i can get this cartridges??

This would be an insane shiny hunt!!!

I always do that with beer bottles. Idk why I just have to peel the labels

Does it have the Spcae C Deoxys and 10th Annjv Celebi?

You're not the only weird one, I used to take the protective plastic off the front of the game after it used to sit in my pocket as I traveled the. Waited til the sticker got ruined then peeled off the Pokémon sticker.

I attended a Pokemon Day in Europe and they handed out a Mew with this exact method

I've been able to get my hands on the dump roms of this event cart, and many more of those dump roms. I've setted up a pair of emulators, and all those mons are legit. You can also shiny hunt them through that distro event rom / cart, as there is a chance the actual dump generates a shiny. To be able to transfer them though, you have to boot up the recieving GameBoy on alternate boot mode (I can't remember exactly how as I did it long ago) but I think you have to hold Select while you boot the GameBoy up. If the timing is right between the boot up on the recieving end and the actual Pokémon sending command on the donor cartridge, the transfer will occur. Keep in mind it shoots it straight up in your party, so you have to clean your party in a box and only have one left. Otherwise it will tell you the transfer failed because it won't have a slot to dump it to, and will ask you to reboot, clean at least one slot in your party, and try again. My guess with your cartridge is that the actual PCB is real, but for some reason the original '' owner '' 3D printed a case and a new sticker, I guess because the original enclosure of the PCB got damaged. (And I said original '' owner '' because we all know event cartridges normally should be returned to Nintendo Japan after the event ends to be destroyed).

Upload them these would be so damn helpful

I only peeled stickers off games if the sticker was already pretty damaged & ugly looking, but only if that game was easy to tell apart (which I think was pretty much just the pokemon games).

Can you do a video to see if this works when transferring to a replica cartridge? My guess is it'll only work when sending to an authentic one and not to a ROM cart but it would be cool to see.

Can you do a pokemon home transfer test? Does the cart have Mew? :>

Where did you buy this cart and the other one for the DS?

3:38 You are not the only weirdo. My cousin and a friend would do the same in the past some 20 years ago. They still regret peeling the stickers to this day.

Where do I get that cartridge? It looks so cool

The official old gba dis carts are sealed into a gba handheld so if its not in a gba with metal holding it then its a third party pluss u can get r4 carts and put the codes onto the r4

Reminds me of a similar cartridge that I got off Aliexpress around Christmas, the "Pokemon Ultimate Event Distribution" cartridge for over $100. There are now bootlegs OF that bootleg available for around $30.

I really wanna know if you're able to transfer them to newer games

It's due that there is more than 10 because of the different languages, they got different Pokemon

Sadly my leaf green and emerald got the old sticker delete

Yo kevdog, love the vid! Maybe the seller listed it as over 140 Pokémon because of the ability to get the Pokémon with different natures?

I've seen a pokemon distribution card very similar

I peeled off my leafgreen sticker regretted it ever since

And now we're waiting for you to post it on the archive 😉

I’ve peeled my pokemon crystal cartridge when i was a kid

Can i buy it? I collect these kind of stuff so can i or can u tell me who the sellers are

Back then I would've loved this. But now I mean I'm basic but with a game hack I can just get whatever Pokemon I want. And then there are those advanced hackers that can do that and give their Pokemon whatever move, level, stats and all of the above nowadays, it's crazy!

Anybody know if there is something similar to this to get the event to go past the seven islands and actually encounter the legends ??

I think it means you can get one of every nature if you wanted to that's why it's saying 140 possibly. Idk I was just thinking.

did you forget to go to the other pages?

10th Anniversary 2006 Journey across America event, I'd love to get that cartridge is there a link?

I never peeled off the sticker but I had two ganes who were peeled. Funny enough it was pokemon firered and megaman battle network 5 team protoman

about 14 years ago, I helped cleaned out a play n trade, my dad knew the owner of the lot and he sure. So I got a a PC, a bunch of busted PS3s and X360s from it and so on. I got a few busted DS's as well. Along these DS's I got a copy of a DS Demo game. Was one of the coolest things I ever had. No idea what happened to it.

someone who knows how to get this cartridge? i dont see anything wrong with it, it gives pokemons that havent been given in any event for the past decades for games that are old

My battle set had rayquaza,groudon,meouwtu,blastoise

Where’d you buy this? Pretty dope. Edit: you said you won’t tell us. Didn’t make it that far. I found it though.

can you extract the rom from the cartridge?

I would like to see a pert 2!

The price of this cart is insanely high for what it is

I find myself heartbroken every time I see and hear someone turn on a childhood pokemon game and the save is gone even if they aren't upset am I the only one? I need to start backing up my saves on the computer I'd be so sad

The edits r best part lol

I have this cartridge. It actually came with a case with really cool box art. The case itself is a PAL version DS case which I found interesting. The event Pokémon were a real thing in 2006, but the cart is definitely not authentic.

This is just a smaller r4 with event roms on the cart

I wish I had that as a rom so i could put it on my everdrive x5

Are there others for sale???

Just how do some people get these Pokémon event cartridges?

I DEMAND A PART 2 OF YOU TRANSFERING THEM TO NEWER GAMES!!!

You're not alone in your grief. I peeled the sticker off my gold special edition copy of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for N64. To this day it remains one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Along with trading a shadowless, 1st edition, base set Charizard that I pulled out of a Pack in 1999 for a Hitmonchan & Gyarados..I was 9. I didn't even know what Shadowless was back.

Fucking outrageous. Definitely need to visit another one

where can i buy this at

I dare you to shiny hunt with this cartridge

Definitely peeled some stickers off back in the day... Also engraved a cart or two... And put a sticker onto the wrong cart on purpose...
