About this video:
In this video, Kevin Krust from Who Asked You? takes a deep dive into the history of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon Distribution Events from Generations 1, 2 and 3 (Pokémon Red / Blue / Yellow, Gold / Silver / Crystal and Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald). Pokémon is coming up on its 25th Anniversary in 2021 and in the time since its debut on the Game Boy there's been an incredible rate of technological growth. Especially when it comes to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon distributions. Going from Mew/Celebi Machines at Nintendo Space World to the G.S. Ball using the Mobile Game Boy Adapter, the Eon/Mystic/Aurora Ticket(s) from the Pokémon Rocks America Tour, the Old Sea Map from Pokémon Festa and beyond. It's been a crazy number of years. Join us in Part 1 of this dive into the history of the Pokémon franchise.

I got my mews at an event where they didn't have a "mew machine", they had an employee holding a gameboy-looking thing and he traded it to you and gave you a paper certificate with the mew's matching ID number on the paper. I brought 2 gameboys with red and blue and I said "can you put on my little brother's game? He couldn't be here" and the nintendo guy was like "we're not really supposed to, but ok" so I got 2
Based chad
@@showbizpizzaarchive5055 Until he forgot to back up his save.
there was never a Mew machine. that's always how they did it.
i was that guy... now i know the truth, liar!
The Eon ticket was also special because it was the only way to get the item Soul Dew in Gen III. It increased Latios and Latias Special Attack and Special Defense by 50 % which made them broken.
Wrong.. you can hack
@@420......... This is for real players. True fans.
@@420......... No shit you can hack in anything by this logic. Why watch the vid anyways
I used to have a big stack of eon tickets inside the brochures, I got them when one of the events was closing and they were packing up to leave. They also gave me some free enamel pins inside plastic pokeballs and 2 big vinyl raikou (like 6"?). I used to sell the eon tickets to kids at my trading card league for $3 each, and now I only have a few left
@@Perry.... he's still right, then? It's not the only way to get soul dew 🤷♂️
One of the many reasons why I love generation III, the mythical Pokémon felt actually RARE. Never had the chance to go to these distribution events but I had my goal of catching Latios in the Emerald main game to prove my friends I was good enough to get it without a DLC.
Good times..
That's called locking content, not being "actually rare"
@@---oq5kb its funny cus all those encounters in gen 3 shouldve become postgame events in future games but instead they just throw you the pokemon with nothing special to it
I stoll rememeber the exact tile i found my latios on as a kid!
@mirandarae7678 im interested in where the tile was? i know the exact location is like impossible to tell me but what route did you find it?? so cool you got one legit
I have a video on the Mew Machines! I got to interview an ex-Nintendo rep who discussed how they were repurposed for Gen 2 and probably wound up in a storage warehouse. Fun stuff
Just checked out the video. Very cool that you were able to track down a representative to discuss the machines further! I had actually considered doing something similar for this video, but it didn't feel right for the format/structure. Thanks for pointing me towards your video. It was a fun watch!
@@WhoAskedYouwhen will you make more videos
I got Mew from a GameShark.... The "gym leader" at my local Toysrus brought his with him, and would take the kids games and catch Mew for them as well as other little cheats. He was a nice guy, just a college kid working at Toysrus who liked pokemon enough to know how the games worked.
That's hella dope. I wish mine was like that.
I would have been giving Mew’s away like candy 😂
I like the concept of going physically to places to get mythical pokemon, I just wish i knew any of this was going on when i was a kid. I grew up with Silver and Crystal and i never knew that there was an event for Celebi or that Celebi even existed. Kinda makes me glad we live in an age now where, any time a legendary/mytical pokemon event gets announced. You can just download it through the internet instead of having to drive to locations far away from where you live just for the chance, or mailing your copy in like with the old games.
back then they were generally pretty selective generally it was just like three cities for events so if you couldn’t go there then you lost out which was pretty unfortunate with Gens 1, 2 and 3
Honestly, I always hated it. So many pokemon become flat-out impossible to get if you don't have an event happening nearby or for whatever reason can't physically make it out to the location in question. Especially as a kid, that becomes demotivating af.
I saw and got a Mew for gen 1 the summer before the first movie came out, they took your cart and gave you a certificate when they gave you Mew, it was a huge deal. Pokemon was at its peak of popularity.
I remember when my local video store was shutting down, they actually had the gameboy e-reader complete in box, and a gameboy advance. I asked for it, but the store employee was not knowledgeable on it. So my mom wasn't convinced on me having it. My plan was to get an Eon Ticket later on and get the other dragon, but my buddy had a Latias that he could trade.
I ended up grinding the hard way through Pokemon Colosseum to get the Ho-Oh. Beat Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness to get Lugia. That was really good trade bait for friends who needed them for their Dexes. Haha. It opened me up to getting A LOT of Pokemon to complete the national dex, as no one else had those games or if they did, they never beat them and grinded them out like I did.
I did fall short in my quest to complete the National Dex in Emerald.
I was missing Celebi, Mew, Totodile and Chikorita, Deoxys. Jirachi.
Through the power of trading and knowing a lot of friends with Pokemon, I managed to get so close to completing the National Dex.
Im really surprised you didnt get totadile or chikorita
There were actually some Gen 3 events at Toys R Us where they would just give out mythicals. That's how I got my Mew
I think I got mine in a mall. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the "pokemon 2000" event because I got some of that stuff
yup I remember the Mystery Mew where a TRU would have an event cartridge that had nothing but Mew in it and that event was one where you had to trade for it
Yup. The employee would tell us to prepare a junk trade Pokemon because they just had a bunch of copies and would trade you like normal. I was the only teenager amongst a sea of children and their parents lol.
Looking forward to more :D
Thanks, Toby!
I'm really late but like the quality of this video is unbelievable for the amount of subscribers amazing video!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
I remember waiting outside ToysRus with my friends to get the special Mew in 2006.
This was actually really informative! Good quality video.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I'm not the biggest pokemon fan, but I saw this video on my twitter timeline so I thought I would check it out!
And damn! You're production values are fantastic! Really interesting to see how the distribution events involve.
Here's hoping your channel continues to grow!
That means a lot. Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
@@WhoAskedYou She brought me here, and I'll say this. I've seen many a Pokemon video, but not many that are this informative and able to maintain an appealing presentation. So keep up the good work and you'll find your way up! ;)
Thank you so much!! :')
I had a red version with the original mew event from toys r us, it was my brothers and I sold it for like 5 bucks in highschool lol
I remember getting mew on my blue cartridge here in Australia when I was a kid with another friend from this big pokemon ATM looking machine you would stick your cartridge into
So first off, I am super late. I need to apologize for that. Life has been a pain in the booty with moving and other things. Second, dang. This video brought back so many memories. I still wish I could have gotten some of these Pokemon or gone to the events, but what is done is done. Awesome video as always, Kevin. I will make sure to watch part 2 soon. Much love. Keep up the awesome. :)
Wow, that was actually really informative!
I'm glad you were able to find value in the information! :)
Why is this video so underrated? Its awesome to learn every event from every pokemon game
awesome video. came here from reddit and i am amazed by the quality of your videos
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Came here cuz Bird Keeper Toby retweeted your post, glad I came to watch
Toby is lovely. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Got here through a retweet, ill be watching through ur vids they all seem like stuff im interested in ~
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy them :)
I dont much care fore pokemon games but the events are so fascinating to me especially the older ones
It's a super fun subject!
I never got to do it I missed the Areceus event but now I have Areceus in Pokemon Legends Arceus!
NOT THE HOOPA SLANDER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO 😭😭😭
Thank you for making this video! You’re awesome!
There were also some other distribution events in person where they handed out pokemon like the Aura Mew and Doel Deoxys. Or the 10Aniv Pokemon. I know this cause I mostly emulate my GBA games these days to upscale the graphics and for portability on my Phone. So, came across a thread discussing those events online or I had seen a video where someone spoke about Nintendo distribution cartridges for the GBA.
really cool video, very informative. Looking forward for part two :)
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Damn that Pokemon Channel Jirachi was a big throwback to my childhood memories. Dont know if its PTSD or genuine Love for the game tho :D A well made video!
Oh so thats wtf the gs ball was in the show
We finally have answers to one of the world's greatest mysteries!
A real History class this video!
Hope you learned something and enjoyed! :)
@@WhoAskedYou Of course :D
Got my mew at an event at my mall where they had Nintendo staff fight you with level 70 Pokemon via link cord they lent you after they gave you mew to your game boy.
It upsets me that Nintendo didn't think as much about how long people would care about these cartridges. Linking the data to a battery that can die essentially killed all our pokemon. I don't know how hard it was to make saves without a battery, but I know it is possible.
Mew and Celebi are my two favorite Pokémon of all time.
Being Mew the first (the most important) and Celebi the second.
I don't care if these two are impossible or estremely rare to catch because of time constraints in events, but these two will always be my favorite Pokémon even if neither of them officially have them. :')
Impossible? Gameshark 🤡
@@HistoryandReviews you’re the clown for hacking. Some people like getting these themselves you too
celebi can be gotten in the vc crystal on 3ds, and you can get mew via the mew glitch in gen 1 vc and use the 8f glitch to make it transferable into the modern games!
Wonderful video!
Thanks so much! :)
Review dragon warrior monsters!
I still have my 99’ tour sticker ❤️
Mew is still my favorite
Is that Pokémon Channel footage from my video? It makes the same menuing mistake and has the same cuts. Anyway, this was also how Jirachi was distributed in Australia.
Great video!
dont diss hoopa bruh
Ohh the good old days
Handed out Pokemon always feel worthless. It sucks that so many mythicals look awesome, but have basically no purpose in-game
Pokemon Rocks America Eon Ticket distribution was only distributed for the American Ruby and Sapphire I presume ad not for Emerald. Am I correct??
I traded my Deoxys up into Sword and Shield and I can't put it in I'm an idiot lol
I lived in Canada and pre-Pokemon Center Singapore. I missed literally everything until Gen 6. :'(
So many events were, unfortunately, very limited in their reach. It's such a shame. Luckily with key-item distributions, the items can always be cheated into the games, so they're still there if people want to go back and try them out for fun.
@@WhoAskedYou I've actually tried this before. Back in the Gen 4 days, a friend of mine had an Action Replay, and we used to cheat the living daylights out of the title. That said, AR DS is now wicked expensive, and most don't come with the CD or cable anymore. It's too bad Gen 4 (to my knowledge) didn't allow for record mixing for event tickets.
What nonsense are you talking about? The 4th and 5th gen were accessible in canada to a limited degree. Every single wi-fi event was accessible. The shiny legendary dogs AND celebi were completely accessible through EB games for the 4th gen, what rock have you been living under?
I literally obtained Victini and the shiny legendary dragons for BW, it sounds like you were just lazy
Ohhhh hoopa.....
Ohhhh, Hoopa!
0:16 My guy, you disrespectful.
8:44 wonder why faraway island wasn’t in fire red and leaf green?
Because it was meant exclusively for Emerald. I don't get your question.
Fun fact, if you lived in the north of England like me then you'd be more or less SOL for events, full stop.
I hope you mention the university magikarp nobody seems to and doesnt know or just leaves it out only 20 were given away its also a gen 1 event pokemon its a magikarp that knows freaking dragon breath
That's insane 🔥
And I hope you learn how to use punctuation marks
It’s not the fact that they’ve changed, so much as they aren’t what they were. Back then the events would take you to a new place in the game, especially in diamond pearl and platinum soul silver and gold. You’re now given a Pokémon via WiFi. It’s boring
Too bad jirachi didn’t get an in-game event in ruby sapphire and emerald 😢
But it did in Diamond and Pearl.It had the special move Draco Meteor 😎
I still have an official Mew on my pokemon red cart
original trainer = LUIGIE
You need to buy a mew machine!
I just sold my Eon ticket
I would of kept that… such historical value.. Priceless.
Amazing video, great editing and content. Only thing that bothers me is at 8:26 and 8:31 in the bottom left corner you were talking about Pokémon fiesta and in the video it’s written as “Pokémon festa.”
I asked.
Who asked you?
first
Cool
