Distribution devices are special devices that are used to distribute Pokémon events.
Distribution devices include Mew machines and Celebi machines, distribution cartridges, Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Discs, the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 16, Game Link Cables, Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapters, and infrared. However, other methods of distributing events includes Wi-Fi and mailing in a game cartridge.
Mew machines were used to distribute most Mew events during Generation I, and the Celebi machines had a similar use in Generation II to distribute most Celebi events. Game Link Cables were used to distribute many events until the start of Generation IV. Starting in Generation V, infrared was used to distribute certain events in Japan and South Korea.
Distribution cartridges are given to stores for event distributions, and are not sold commercially. Starting in Generation IV, they only contain information for the event Pokémon, and have no actual game data or save possibilities. These cartridges use DS Wireless Communications to distribute events starting in Generation IV. At the end of an event, they are intended to be sent to Nintendo's Waste Management facility in Redmond, Washington, where they are presumably destroyed. However, sometimes, distribution cartridges are leaked or sold to the public.
