Another important detail is that these Celebis all had different IVs, something important that my friend confirmed.

 

This is HUGE!! How can we confirm this?
If it's true, then it's possible that there were a legit shiny Celebi from this event, or some other interesting spreads or perfect FFFF. I'd like to know how the machines worked to generate all the IVs.

Yes, they were all random. To confirm, here is another Celebi I managed to save from the event at La Maquinista, Barcelona. My friend received it, cloned it via the good'ol box swap method, traded it to another friend, and around 2010 the battery was still alive and we copied it to a Stadium 2 cart as we knew those don't rely on save batteries, thus the extension. As stated by others, they went by consecutive IDs and on the certificate picture you can see the previous ID number imprinted, they probably had the papers on a pile and just kept writing on top. This one is 42489 and you can (kind of) read 42488 on top of it. I hope this is useful to everyone, and I also hope pkHex team updates their legality checks, as this Celebis do show problems as the data is particular: they were meant to be distributed to Gold and silver carts only, as Crystal or Stadium 2 were not released when the event took place. But The games were already finished, and the Celebi does have the tag for location and lvl encounter, set as "Event". The reason for that is that Crystal was around the corner and on those Celebi tours they let people try Stadium 2 before release, and whoever won got a Gold/Silver cart with 20 Celebi copies to dsitribute to friends, if they managed to distribute them and return the cart to Nintendo within 15 days, they would get a free copy of Crystal, thus why the Celebi is already "Crystal-formatted". Finding one of those dstribution carts intact is impossible I guess, but if anyone has any more copies of NICO, FRANCO, CTOUR or JENS Celebis please share them. The more evidence we have the better.
