dates for event pokemon?

**DarkStar** · May 19th, 2009

i was just thinking, would it be possible for the site to have a part that lists the distribution dates for the WC events? e.g., alamos darkrai 5/31/08 - 6/1/08 at TRU stores, 6/1/08 - 6/30/08 in the NWS, etc.

Some pretty major changes to the event part of the site will be taking place over the summer, this will certainly be among them.

Um - I had a Celebi hacked for me, and the date says Jan 0, 2000, which is totally impossible. Is that a frequent error? Lol

Yes, that is a blatant hack: someone was too lazy to change the receive date: January 0, 2000 is the default date in which Pokesav starts with.

Ah - And have you got any idea what the actual date for the event was?

Gold Ursaring's Event Guide on Gamefaq's D/P section is a great resource for early D/P events and Gen III. It not only tells dates, but any restrictions about the event (A few were limited to neutral natures, like some Manaphy events), or the actual event itself as far as activities go.

Can't find it. Mind linking me up? XD

It was in the Diamond/Pearl section, but not in Platinum. Odd.

Thanks

Keep in mind that Gold Ursaring's faq hasn't been updated in more than a year, but it's still quite good. Since Celebis were given as GBA events, would the actual event date be all that important? As opposed to a Pal Park date?

That's why I said early D/P and Gen III. It's still by far the most comprehensive guide, as far as I know. Not just detailing OT/ID#, but restrctions, and sometimes what was going on at the event itself.

As far as I know, I think he's still available at the listed e-mail address, and I think he posts on a few Pokemon forums. Maybe he's working on an update.

While it'd be useful to have the dates for every event, the actual date received for a Pokemon in the DS generation games can't really be used by Nintendo to figure out whether it's a hack or not. Since it depends entirely on how you've set the date in your own DS, the receive date could be pretty much anything. You could set your DS forward to Jan. 01, 2099 or back to 2000; and the Pokemon would've been received on that date after getting it from the delivery guy.

I think it still would be nice to have proper dates. Even if it means that we have to put our Ds' trimes forward and back.

I guess I am a little bit of a sticker for dates :-P

The new event site will have all distribution dates/locations that we can research (or have been submitted by users to the event forum), for every event. At the least, we will list the date from the original WC.
