Is the GameStop Celebi 02271 still Legit?

[Tsujin]

I think the real question is why they would do this?

My Opinions:
1) GameStop Employees probably would think the Celebi wasn't on the last Distribution. ~Probably not likely though.
2) Someone botched up with OT. TCPi? wants more consistency to go along with English Gold & Silver 10th Anniversary Mew and it's FAL2010 or whatever that was. It might have also seemed lazy of them to just put GAMESTP on all the Distributions.

If it's coming from them, it has to be legit. If their response about the other one was confirmed legit, Twice now. It should be legit.
I think that just settles it then.

If it's the one you want to go for, then get the WIN2011 one IRL. If you're deciding which one to get, it's really about preference at this point.

This didn't settle it last time though. This is the second time someone has posted that Officials are saying it's Legit yet the discussion is still going on.

i just transfer my Celebi to my black and white and it works it activates the event, would that make it legal? or does it still have to be the WIN2011

It's legal regardless. Any fateful encounter Celebi works to activate the event. Doesn't matter if GAMESTP or WIN2011.

Here is what was sent to our league Owner when he posted on the Pokemon Fourms on Pokemon.com (Only Judges and other Pokemon Officials can get accsess to)


This is from Mike Liesik

From what I understand from the product development team, both distributions are legit.

GAMESTP Celebi is being distributed at GameStops in the US.

WIN2011 Celebi is being distributed via Wi-Fi "in" Europe.

As US English and UK English game cards can receive the same distribution data, it is possible for someone in the US to get the WIN2011 Celebi, even though it's intended for Europe.

In terms of Wonder Cards they're the same Celebi, so a player that has received one won't be able to receive the other.

Hope this helps.

Yes, but this person claims that the GAMESTP Celebi is being distributed in Gamestop at the USA while the WIN2011 one is distributed over Wi-Fi.
This is clearly wrong. We all know that Gamestop stores around the US are distributing the WIN2011 one (With a few exceptions) and that there's no Wi-Fi event Celebi.

Would his answer be the same if he knew that the GAMESTP Celebi wasn't officially distributed?

This is a follow up responce also

Follow up on the first one

We already established that Nintendo screwed up and is acknowledging both as Legit. Why does EVERYONE have to ask him... I feel bad for the guy now. He probably has 800 emails a week dedicated to this one question. And honestly he doesn't even answer it properly because hes not thinking of it like us. Hes trying to tell everyone that its the SAME event and you cannot have BOTH. Hes not even thinking about whether people are asking if the gamestop one is legit or not BECAUSE IT IS.
