Mythical Pokemon being distributed throughout 2016

Just curious, was it always this way or was it that if you leveled a pokemon up past a certain level that you caught it wouldn't listen to you either?
I've been playing since rby but can't tell if it's just the show's charizard bleeding into my memories of the game

It was always this way.
 
Got my Celebi.

First time to turn on my game in ages and I realised that my Bank subscription ran out ages ago. Please tell me that they store your pokemon in there even when you're not subbed, lol. I had a living dex, wouldn't want to lose it.

TPC says that they store your Pokémon for an unmentioned length of time after the subscription ends before allegedly deleting them however I've never heard of any Pokémon actually being deleted and have heard of Pokémon still being there over a year after expiration so you are almost certainly okay.
 
Ok, seeing as my pokemon knowledge doesn't really go beyond Gen 1, who/what is Celebei and given I just started X, I have it as a gift.
 
Gah I missed Mew, can I use the Pokemon Red/Blue digital versions to get Mew and transfer to OR or nah? If not, if anyone has an NA code I can use I will love you forever.

Celebi is the mythical from Silver/Gold/Crystal (Gen 2).

Nah. R/B/Y aren't compatible with Pokemon Bank yet.

Celebi is the "Mew" of Gen 2. It was the one Pokemon you couldn't get in the game that everyone was crazy about at the time.

Celebi is the final Gen 2 Pokémon. It is a mythical Pokémon which means it cannot be obtained through normal gameplay only through distribution events such as these.

Nah. R/B/Y aren't compatible with Pokemon Bank yet.

Also even when they are they will still not be compatible with Gen 6, only Gen 7.
 
It'll make good trade bait in gen VII. There will be people trying out the series for the first time and people getting back into the series like every gen.

True. I remember when XY came out people were dying for Palkia/Dialga because there was no way to get them except for Gen IV. But now every legendary is obtainable through Gen VI alone so their stock has dropped. But still, Celebi is only good to trade for other event Pokemon, but Celebi is the easiest event Pokemon to get so...

Anyone think that they would ever make mythical Pokemon amiibos? Like you buy the amiibo, and when you scan it on the N3DS, you unlock the legendary. That's free money right there, but also might kill their whole event giveaways that they've held onto for decades now.

Easiest to get for now. After the event ends there will be people who will ask for those since they missed it or forgot about it or procrastinate or something. It should be a good trade bait in the future, maybe not as good as others but it should be good enough.
 
Wish I had extra mew, but this is my biggest issue with serial codes... Not everyone is near a game store... I'm also not a fan of Gamestop but that's not my complaint, I do like smaller stores that actually resell retro games at decent prices... Why can't Nintendo work with them, they need the business/advertising.

Yup it sucks, these major gamestores buy out from under the smaller ones and then they almost go bust them selves (Game in the UK)
 
seems like my local gamstops are all out, shame, was hoping to give our more. But damn I gave out 31 codes....will try to give out more codes when ever Gamestop is the only place to get them
 
Struck out on both mew and celebi at my local GS. I don't think I'm going to out and try again. Pretty over this way of distributing things.
 
I called like 6 stores yesterday and nothing. I think I'm giving up on getting Mew.

eBay is always an option. Sucks people are selling these, but it is what it is.

Celebi is an Nintendo Network distribution. No need for GS visits. Go the Mystery Gift, select Internet and visit the attendant girl in a Pokemon Center.

We only have two more of these silly GS stop style distributions--Arceus and Genesect. The rest are all NN.

Ah my bad. Thanks so much for the heads up : )
 
I'm pretty pissed about this whole no celebi in Japan thing, but I just found out the Pokemon Center opening in Kyoto is going to be giving out gold Ho-ohs.

So....I'm cool with that.
 
Sort of related, Nintendo are giving away the three Regis to people who use Bank.

Each of the three Pokémon that you receive has a Hidden Ability, a trait they do not possess when found in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. This is your first chance to get these Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, so don't miss this opportunity!

Do you have access to homebrew? You can get Celebi by forcing the games to either EU or US region with HANS.
 
I also got a celebi from some toys r us ruby and sapphire event

I think it even says 10anniv on it which is wild

It's still on my Pearl cart.

Damn, and here I am, resetting for a shiny Ho-Oh in OR for the last 3 weeks or so (still no luck). It's Japan only, so it's not like my effort is going to be in vain, I guess...

EU only, or will this be a US region event too?
 
it's too bad you have to pay for the bank suscription to even enter to get these and there's no chance of soft-resetting for good IVs, making this useless for someone who wants to use these pokes seriously.

I say get them anyway and pray that GF smartens up and makes IVs trainable in Gen 7.
 
Don't know if anyone stillneeds them, but I still have two unclaimed AUS/NZ mew codes. Just pm me for one.

Unfortunately,gave away all my NA codes. Sorry.
 
Registeel: HP, Sp. Atk, and Speed are perfect IVs
Regirock: Defense, Sp. Atk, Speed are perfect IVs
Regice: HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk are perfect IVs

Are these set or is it somewhat random? Can anyone compare theirs?
