I don't check these threads often - if you have any question email is best - faqmike@yahoo.com - I haven't abandoned Pokemon completely, but my online presence is down. It's been years since these Pokemon, so the memory isn't the best. Zubat was traded from my brother's game. My brother played only on Pokemon Silver. The other Pokemon were hatched in Crystal. The Typhlosion issue is weird and I can't think of an explanation. As a whole the machines were weird. I remember we were expecting Mimic Wobbufett to override Counter because of the four moves Wobbufett knows, Counter was "first" and would be bumped out if it were like an egg move. But in the end, it was actually Safeguard that got tossed. It seems like they would override commands a lot.

So I made a thread on The PokéCommunity Forums about how I got events given through Nintendo's e-Reader peripheral to work using a flashcard instead of an e-Reader or using VBA-Link and another ROM since access to an e-Reader for me was something I was not willing to wait for. I also wrote a tool for injecting event binaries into the e-Reader's save data so that the event can be sent to Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire (And Japanese FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald if there's any card dumps of those). Poké-Reader Event Injection tool 1.1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34957059/GBA%20Events/Poke-Reader%201.1.zip GBA Event Pack 1.0 (You'll need this for the tool): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34957059/GBA%20Events/GBA%20Event%20Pack%201.0.zip There's a couple of things I'd like to accomplish with this: 1. Can we get a complete set of e-Card data from all regions for all games (There's some Japan-exclusive RS berries, as well as the FRLG Battle-e and Emerald Battle-e sets that are undumped)? [if you want to see what cards there are, download the GBA Event Pack and check the included list!] 2. Can we RE the e-Card data and create custom berries and trainers to be sent to games or distributed as challenges for 3rd Gen games? 3. Can the Event BINs that I have become some kind of Gen 3 event archive format (Perhaps rename it to something useful, like .g3e (Gen 3 e-Event)? Note: If you do have e-Card events that are not in this set, and you'd like to have them added to the GBA Event Pack, PM me if you can dump your save and send me the .SAV file containing the scanned card. I don't have an e-Reader (yet), but if I can get my hands on one, I can perhaps just get scans of the cards and scan them in, providing the scans are of good enough quality.

Interesting. That website has most of the information correct. A few errors with regards to Generation III, but nothing major. According to my research with @ajxpk, it looks like the Generation III PCNY also used gamecubes and discs. The weird thing is that usually discs would get stolen. I am very surprised nothing has come up on ebay etc. They must have been inventoried really well, or there weren't 50 discs like we originally assumed. Thanks @Gold Ursaring for some extra info!

This site has some really good pictures - http://pokemoncenternewyork.weebly.com/gaming-distribution-events.html For the visitor, you would put your game (Gold, Silver, or Crystal) into the machine. There was a cartridge slot. You would get a cool video showing what Pokemon you got (or just an egg). From my understanding and memory, the distributions were powered by Gamecubes (specifically development units, they were green when they opened the machines). Changing the distribution involved switching the disc that was in the Gamecube. They would sometimes switch the disc for special circumstances (far out of town visitor wanting Celebi) and sometimes might forget to put the disc into all four units. Another somewhat common occurrence was the machines would accidentally delete the save file. In this case, staff would bribe you with some shiny event Pokemon and additional eggs. Each week a hidden tag was put in your game, so you couldn't repeat an event. There were ways around it. I think I used something called a "Monster Brain" and if the staff forgot to switch all the machines, hopping between the two machines seemed to suffice. When examining Pokemon data, keep in mind some of them have been leveled up and not all of them may have come from the Crystal game, Zubat certainly came from Crystal. The battery on my brother's game failed earlier than the Crystal.

I don't know, i cab check the Pokemon Channel on Youtube with the WCS Livestream...

I theorized that the GCEA were created by staff adhoc and not generated via data lookup. This could help validate that.
