Talk:Event Pokémon

I got a Mew in December, 1999 from a special promotion; it's what got me into Pokémon in the first place... I think it happened on December 15 of that year, but I can't remember for sure. TTEchidna 06:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

PBR Pokemon

Should the Pokémon you get in Mystery Gifts from PBR, (Pikachu, Elictivire, and Magmortar) be included in this article? I was thinking they may count as Event Pokémon as well. Superbreeder 21:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I added all. tc26 03:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Are they still in "unfair mode"?

Just to ask, I'd like to know if Nintendo still offers these event Pokémon only when you physically move your butt into a certain event at some city. If, then I'm disappointed since as I live in Finland we've had as much as ONE Nintendo event so far, and that was in Helsinki, which is about 200km (124 miles) from where I reside. So, do they now offer them via Wi-Fi as well or is it still almost-only-Japan&America stuff? UltimateSephiroth ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 22:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

They've offered one Wi-Fi event, but it was for Japan only, and it was for a key item that unlocked the secrets of one Pokémon species. It's possible they could distribute event Pokémon over Wi-Fi in the future. --Shiningpikablu252 23:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

It was Worldwide but only Platinum.tc26 03:07, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to assume that since Wi-fi is over the Internet, you can receive it from anywhere, but only in a Japanese game.--Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

If it's still going to be only for Japanese, it's really sad. Well, I probably have to just get over the fact that I'll never get these Event Pokémon. It'd be cool, though, if I got one in a trade (one without that Classic Ribbon of course) :P UltimateSephiroth ^{(user · talk · contrib)} 21:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Cherish Balls

Not all event Pokémon come in Cherish Balls. My MYSTRY Mew is in a Pokéball. So shouldn't it say "most come in Cherish Balls some come in Pokéballs"? See here. Sivart345 20:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Also there are other event Pokémon that come in Pokéballs. Sivart345 20:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

If you read it correctly, it says in Gen IV all of them do. --^Psychic_Rider^☮ 20:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Well then why is this Manaphy in a Pokéball? It's Gen IV... Sorry I forgot my MYSTRY Mew is Gen III, my bad. Sivart345 20:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I found 4 Gen IV Pokémon that were not distributed in Cherish Balls. See here --Sivart345 16:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I see someone finally changed all are in Cherish Balls to most. Thanks Tc26 :D Sivart345 17:36, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Celebi

Celebi was available in Australia as an event pokémon, given out in 2001 via direct trade. I know because I got one.Da Rammo 06:37, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Other info please. Like OT and ID No. and moves. _*tc26_* 08:47, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

A complete listing?

At the bottom of the page we list types of things that have been given out at events, but would it be possible to list the actual items given out at events on one page? (ie event berries, event items, event pokemon, event unlocked events such as the regis in platinum?) Enigmaberry 13:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Click on the links. They can't all fit in one page, it's too big. Also, it's only Regigigas, not all 3 Regis. _*tc26_* 14:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That's not what I mean. I'm saying list all the event items, not the actual events (ie: Pokemon: Darkrai, Shaymin, etc. not where/when they were given out) Enigmaberry 19:29, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, just use the template below, it's there. _*tc26_* 04:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

New Templates.

The new templates are great, but they don't link to the event Pokémon very well... Sivart345 23:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Also 'tweaking' can be used to battle Shaymin (at Flower Paradise) in D/P. These templates don't give enough info and make event Pokémon seem rarer than they actually are. Sivart345 23:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Add tweaking then. If it isn't complete, make it complete. That's the point of a wiki. — THE TROM — 00:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah but the way the template is I don't know how too. And it will probably be removed for being 'redundant, or 'un-needed', or something... O_o Sivart345 00:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

It's the same info as the ones in text form, it's the same and they don't make that much a difference, even in rarity. _*tc26_* 07:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean by link? _*tc26_* 07:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

He means links to the ToysRUs Pikadoodle or whatever. Seriously though, why doesn't this page list all event pokies, not just the legendaries? — THE TROM — 10:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

They can be browsed by clicking the year in the template below when the event Pokémon were distributed.. ►Ҝəυzø8 10:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

They were in one page before but it got too many. _*tc26_* 10:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

You were previously able to click links to go to the event they were given away at. We should put numbers after the 'other giveaways' like this 1/2/3 or 1,2,3,4 to link to the actual giveaway of those event Pokémon; players want to know about the previous events. Something like this: Other giveaways (1/2) . Sivart345 16:57, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Seems kind of ridiculous. Look at how many Mew events there've been. If they're listed on the Pokémon's page, which they should be, just link to that. TTEchidna 18:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

They ain't all listed on the Pokémon's page -_- . Mew is like the only one there has been plenty of... Jirachi, Celebi, and Shaymin have all had very few. --Sivart345 20:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Then that means people have work to do creating these sections. O Mighty Editor In Chief, seeing as you appear to be involved in this discussion, may I have permission to create a ep template, coded as [[{{{1}}} (Pokémon)#In_events|{{{1}}}]]? It could be useful here. — THE TROM — 20:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

*blinks and shrugs shoulders* --Sivart345 20:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I think it's fine for what we need right now. The table at the bottom of the page should be sufficient enough. If it isn't easy enough to navigate with, that person is out of luck. And I don't mean you Sivart, just anyone in general. R.A. Hunter B. 21:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I know how to navigate around them... I probably have most of the event Pokémon memorized anyways.... O_O What about the upcoming Arceus in JP? --Sivart345 23:30, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

That'll be added like all the others were when the details come out. R.A. Hunter B. 00:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Details are already out: it comes out in JP when the movie premiers--thats all players need to know right now. --Sivart345 01:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
