These games are amazing and chock full of little secrets like this. Being able to experience all of it definitely solidifies these as the best mainline games, imo

One little nugget of info I found on my own playing these games years ago is that if you headbutt the first tree on the left immediately outside of pewter city, you have a rare chance of getting starly. This only works on this specific tree, and thought it was a cool bit of info since starly to this day is my favourite intro bird pokemon of all time

[@theganjician9272]

I’ve always felt that the events in these games Gen. 3/4/5 have them all coded into the game and should have just let us be able to obtain these items, and reach these areas to catch these Pokémon. No matter how many times you start a new game and erase your old save we should be able to access the content that is already there. Gen 3 and 4 I would use GameShark and then action replay dsi to be able to play the content every time I would start a new play through. I do wish that the Manaphy egg could have been obtained in game by completing a really hard quest or something instead of needing another side game that will only give you 1 copy per game so, now if you buy it there is a very good chance that you can’t do the event.

Heads up!! "Pikachu coloured Pichu" is just a shiny Pichu, any shiny Pichu works not just the event one. The event one is just a normal shiny Pichu. So this event for the Spikey eared Pichu and Celebi is still possible for everyone if you grind for a shiny Pichu.

[@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy]

I have ALWAYS questioned WHY they never include more than one save in pokemon games... I ALWAYS have had the habit of wanting to start over. . . I always found myself just losing everything I ever obtained. . . . funny thing is, for some strange reason, this habit kinda stopped at the gen 6(X & Y)games. I actually started to care about everything I earned then. I kinda did restart over again... but that wasn't until I had moved up to the gen 7 games and had everything transferred up. Don't know what EXACTLY it was about this gen... but my behavior with pokemon games just changed here.

@@s.c.2180 if you're mentioning what I think you're mentioning... it should be advised that it's a LOT harder to obtain those events for the gen 4 games. can't really remember... but I think you need a SPECIFIC router to get it to work in this day and age(a REALLY old router)... but the method DOES work A LOT MORE EASILY for the gen 5 games! all I had to do was input a code in my dns(or something like that, CANT remember)on my 2ds(yep, DOESN'T even have to be on the original ds to get this to work), in the field on my 2ds's internet settings, and I was able to receive mystery gifts(ALL of them)in my white version, EASY!

The world ability ribbon is still attainable by reaching rank 5 at the Wi-Fi Battle Room. Granted the Nintendo Wi-Fi servers has long been shut down, but there are still existing fan servers that are hosted that can be looked up to connect to that simulate the battle rooms if you look that up or connect with the ribbon master community.

[@natbatlightwood5288]

It really sucks how much content is just straight up not available anymore. Like i think a good way to preserve these events could've been to have a feature similar to ORAS where if you passed someone who had the Eon ticket you got it too. Or set up a service where you can send your game card into Game Freak and they put a patch on it that allows you to access the events but makes it so (similar to Pichu) you can't trade it...unless it connects to a game like Black and White. So if you want to replay the event you have have to replay the game. I don't know, maybe i'm just chatting out of my ass, it just sucks that so much content is effectively lost unless you cheat.
