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.
Lol I worked at GameStop for 3 years and I took every single thing home that we couldn't buy from people like fake games/ consoles with our cords lmao I have so much crap from back then. People would bring in all kinds of stuff that we couldn't take so I would offer them cash upfront. Good times I worked the midnight release for Skyrim lmao
It probably is a real one, just not the original enclosure. My bet is that the PCB is real, but the original enclosure could have been damaged, so a new one got 3D printed (as the sound of the plastic itself sounds like 3D printed)
@@EternalxFrostYou can find newly injection moulded GBA cartridge shells online. Presumably they use different quality plastic so it would sound different.
@@EternalxFrost It is not. You can find ROMs for every distribution online; many of them are ripped straight from the original event cardrodges while some were remade from the aurora ticket cardridge. There is even a video on UA-cam showing how they have done it. These event Pokémon are completely legal; the cartridge, however, isn't. But There are some real ones out There Like the aurora ticket :)
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.
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.
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.
@@mannypineiro127I don't remember where I found it but I have it as well and have used on my flashcart. I could email it to you if you are unable to find through Google.
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.)
Yeah, it's some weird mode, where it can receive data via link cable. It can for example be used to enter the wireless adapter menu with a game inserted, or to play the single card multi-player games with a card inserted. The event I went to with a distribution didn't let us do this through, instead they took our game for a moment, transfered the pokemon, then gave us the card back.
@@Hartie95 It's not that weird. Ignoring backwards compatibility, by default, the GBA sniffs the EXT line for multiboot code to run. If a cartridge is inserted, it boots off of that instead. Holding Start and Select overrides the cartridge boot and boots off of multiboot instead. This allows the multiboot to mount the cartridge, which aside from these events is used by games like Path of Radiance to read the GBA Fire Emblems to unlock art galleries. What actually IS weird is how the GCN Pokémon games sent multiboots to the GBA Pokémon games during the copyright splash screen - THAT'S unorthodox.
Works like a charm because those Pokemon are "legit". Not obtained through legitimate ways, but they are legit and you can transfer them to Pokemon HOME and other games (that support those Pokemon) no problem.
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.
On my different event distribution card you have to have a Japanese version of R/S/E FR/LG to get some of the event pokemon it might just be my card though but I just then transferred them.
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🤣
@@Argonisgemawc3tool. youtuber has vids with gb operator. u save the file then upload it to the tool then pick event. also u can modify the save with pkhex and reupload to the cart. wc3tool doesnt have all the events. but you can make the pokemon in pkhex. honestly the thing shown is vid is cool. im curious if pkhex would verify. it usually does but im not sure
@@Johntriger GBA Backup Tool (which is a ds homebrew you can run on flashcarts) lets you backup your save, and you can then run the event via emulators on a computer to get the event in your save.
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.
I went to one of these events when I was young. We lined up and actually had to give the staff our games and fill in a form with our address details. They would put the pokemon on the games at a Nintendo office/location and they would then ship the game back. So we would be without it for a little while! This might not be the case for every event but I assume this was the safest way to do it back then for them, as they could take their time.
i went to this event in nyc 10 anniversary party and it was a super huge long line and the distribution took maybe a minute? 😮 it was super fast and just downloaded right onto our cartridge!
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
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!
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
@@orsonzedd Plus at some point, if you pay close attention it says 1/5 as if what we are looking at is page 1 out of 5. Each page has 10 pokemon so 5x10=150 which is indeed more than 140.
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.
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.
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
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.
I’m pretty sure these are the recreated events by Goppier. The other events are supposed to be the Pokémon Center in New York events and jirachi/celebi events. I’ve gotten all of these mons from this exact screen from Goppiers recreated events
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!
The thing that gets me wondering if what would to happen if took one of the Pokémon you got sent from that cartridge and tried to put it in home. Because home will only let you transfer Pokémon to it if it’s a legit Pokemon and not hacked or anything
I'm assuming this has been said by now considering the video is 5 months old, but the 140 distribution (if it has any merit) would definitely include each language as it's own event. And the other languages (like Japanese specifically) could have more events possible.
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 recall that Start+Select on the boot screen could be used to receive a save patch to early-run Ruby/Sapphire games to fix the berry glitch. I'd have to find where I put my copy of Fire Red but I think you could use it or Leaf Green to push the patch. Gotta love the predecessor to DS Download Play
I used to own a distribution cart back in the day for the shiny Sinnoh trio in Gen V, sold it when monry was kinda tight and honestly really regret it. These things are expensive now!
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.
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
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).
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
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).
You actually can. That's the funny part. The event dump rom can actually generate shinies. I have a shitload of event cart dump roms on my computer. They all can generate shinies. It's just FUCKING time consuming. You can stay there for hours bootlooping the GameBoy until you get one
For authentic ones, I feel like it’s probably a “know the right guy” type of deal. You’d have to know someone who would work at a place like GameStop or ToysRUs to get access to one, without stealing
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.
@piplupness Yeah I'm aware of flash carts. But as someone who doesn't emulate this was a better option for me. It was $10 as opposed to a $50+ flash cart I would never use.
I still see a lot of people asking this- I mention in the vid that I won't be directly linking it as I don't want to create direct sales to a fake cartridge
So this is just a project that was made for the multiboot mode that was done by goppier and UndeadxReality and is now on a flash cartridge and someone is making money off of it. Great work.
Fake or not, it generates legit event Pokemon that youre allowed to trade. Yes, it devalues the actual Pokemon somewhat but it also allows people who vould not be present at the initial distribution (or weren't even born yet) to get one, or all of them. It's awesome 👍🏻
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!
Two questions: 1. Where did you obtain this? 2. Can you make infinite distribution carts if you were to rip the rom from it or is there something special about the hardware?
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.
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.
Why did you more than one?
I hope all those ROMs were eventually dumped by someone.

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).
No, this is a flashable GBA cartridge that has been loaded with all the event variations of the 10 ANNIV event
"Im going to unplug it" Turns power off lol
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
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).
awesome video man, you should make a part 2
I dare you to shiny hunt with this cartridge
You actually can. That's the funny part. The event dump rom can actually generate shinies. I have a shitload of event cart dump roms on my computer. They all can generate shinies.
It's just FUCKING time consuming. You can stay there for hours bootlooping the GameBoy until you get one
I peeled off my leafgreen sticker regretted it ever since
Just how do some people get these Pokémon event cartridges?
For authentic ones, I feel like it’s probably a “know the right guy” type of deal. You’d have to know someone who would work at a place like GameStop or ToysRUs to get access to one, without stealing
Sadly my leaf green and emerald got the old sticker delete
Can you do a pokemon home transfer test? Does the cart have Mew? :>
Unfortunately not, the mew event was not distributed outside Japan
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.
@piplupness Yeah I'm aware of flash carts. But as someone who doesn't emulate this was a better option for me. It was $10 as opposed to a $50+ flash cart I would never use.
About Suicune, I remember it was a event in Italy
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?
Now i wonder because all those pokémon are different and shiny locked pokémon where not introduced until gen 5 i wonder if they could be shiny
Where i can get this cartridges??
I still see a lot of people asking this- I mention in the vid that I won't be directly linking it as I don't want to create direct sales to a fake cartridge
take a screenshot and google search the image 😂
So this is just a project that was made for the multiboot mode that was done by goppier and UndeadxReality and is now on a flash cartridge and someone is making money off of it. Great work.
So I bought one and tried it… I can get the Nintendo logo to disappear, but it doesn’t come back unless I press a. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
where from
It's due that there is more than 10 because of the different languages, they got different Pokemon
Fake or not, it generates legit event Pokemon that youre allowed to trade. Yes, it devalues the actual Pokemon somewhat but it also allows people who vould not be present at the initial distribution (or weren't even born yet) to get one, or all of them. It's awesome 👍🏻
If you have an original one and don't value it enough to keep it come what may...
Mine doesnt work. It says please make sure you have an english version of gba pokemon game pak inserted. I selected english
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!
Two questions:
1. Where did you obtain this?
2. Can you make infinite distribution carts if you were to rip the rom from it or is there something special about the hardware?
I've seen a pokemon distribution card very similar
I just realised it's a repro. There's no nintendo logo on the front of the cartridge.
The English and spanish around 3:10
3:41 Thought about it once, and never again XD
The price of this cart is insanely high for what it is
Definitely need a part two
I would also peel the title stickers off my gameboy cartridges. Not sure why.
And now we're waiting for you to post it on the archive 😉
The ROM has been public for years, I replied to a different comment with a post I found online 😎
did you forget to go to the other pages?
I would like to see a part 2 :3
Anybody know if there is something similar to this to get the event to go past the seven islands and actually encounter the legends ??
Do a part two please. I want to see if this would pass the Pokémon home checks and get it into Gen 9
When i was young i went to an event for latios and latias for ruby and sapphire in spain
this event pokemon are "legal" as a normal pokemon event would be?
and can i transfer it to pokemon home?
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.
Now I wonder... can this thing connect with the GameCube Pokemon Games? (Colosseum and XD gale of darkness)
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
Hey does the event distribution cart work on Japanese copies
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.
I also peeled the sticker off my Pokemon Yellow cartrige, forever regret it, I also used to bite the corner of my GBA SP for some reason
Can these cartridges work with reproduction copies of the gen 3 games?
