How We Recreated All GEN3 Pokémon Distributions

I actually attended the Toys'r'us Trade and Battle Day. The employees had no idea how to run the event so they gave me the cartridge and let me distribute the Pokemon to everybody. The save file had some odd things about it like having the acro bike from ruby and Sapphire. Unfortunately I didn't trade all of the events to myself because at the time I didn't think much of them. That being said I do have one of the Jeremy shellder that I've transferred all the way through and to Pokemon HOME.

Also I can't help but notice: You mentioned that you guys recreated all these distribution roms from the MEW distribution. It's funny because just as Mew being the progenitor of all pokémon, it's distribution rom became the progenitor of all the other distribution roms. Amazing!

Oh man, that 10th anniversary event was the only special event I was ever able to go to as a kid, that was such a magical feeling. I would love to relive those memories

What you're doing for the pokemon community can be described as nothing less than a miracle. Both of you have clearly gone above and beyond to make things like this happen and you should be given high praises for such feats. Sincerely, thank you.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM. I loaded up all the rims on my Analogue Pocket and linked it up to my GBA SP running Ruby. Thank you guys so much for your hard work. This is awesome!

As a massive pokémon fan who wasn't able to attend these events as a kid, I thank you all. This is something I never thought I would ever get to experience. Congratulations on your success.

This is simply wonderful! A great way to relive a cherished childhood memory. When I went to the Pokémon 10th anniversary event, coincidentally there wasn’t a line for the celebi distribution. And the lady running the booth gave me extra celibis. I still have all of them. I’m sure it wasn’t particularly meaningful to her, but it was so exciting for me as a child.

Thank you so much for putting this together! This is an invaluable contribution to the Pokémon community, keep up the good work!

You could not have dropped this video at a better time. I'm currently working on a Gen 3 Livingdex and I've had a hard time finding a few Mythicals. Your hard work and the work of the community are appreciated by me and so many others, thank you so much!

Absolutely incredible. I can't even imagine how many people have been waiting for something like this. Thank you to the team for this incredible work!!!

This is really cool, I love how Gens 3-5 have a good majority of their events archived in some shape or form. I might have to try some of these out on emulator, the video isn't out yet but I hope the Pal Region events can be archived just like NTSC. I await to see the day that Gens 6 & 7 have this luxury, we already have an alternative host for the Nintendo Network called Pretendo Network, but we still need the Pokemon event distribution figured out so those events can be enjoyed in the future. Fun fact, Magearna's QR Code in Gen 7 never expired, so that's one.

This is like a wish come true. On behalf of my inner child, who always wanted to have attended one of those events and never could, sincerely, thank you.

I don’t usually comment on videos but your work is really impressive. Within my collection of GBA games from Japan I happen to have a Hadō Regirock. I’m fairly sure it’s legitimate but can’t prove it beyond any reasonable doubt. I can give you more info about it if you want

This is game preservation at it's absolute finest. Thank you for all the work you guys put into this. Not all heros where capes. <3

Such an incredible achievement and gift to the Pokemon community! a massive thank you to you both. It's almost exactly 20 years since the 5th Anniversary Eggs were distributed in Japan too, so really nice this event and all the others are now widely available to old and new players alike for the first time ever.

it's so cool to see that so many other people care about preserving these things, but you're even cooler for actually doing the work. i have no idea of coding, but you always make your videos so understandable and interesting for people like me! i love your videos.

This man is a gem, an absolute angel, a gift to all pokefans--

Seriously the people who've worked so hard to bring back these old events, not just for the gen 3 games, but also the DNS trick for gen 4 and 5, are truly doing the lords work. Massive respect

Ive fell in love with this channel. Im a pretty new person in pokemon and only started in 2018. But since then i bought pokemon diamond pokemon x and ultra moon. One thing i hate is how i missed old events but this video gives me hope potentially for even every pokemon ds game

i was able to get a mystery mew as a kid. it was one of my coolest memories, lining up in a toys r us for the original rarest pokemon. i treasured my mew like a holy grail, still have it <3
