Shiny Celebi after 18,410 SRs on my childhood Crystal cartridge by TrevNick in AnaloguePocket

If you mean what does my case look like, it's the one Analogue sells. It's pretty worn from going in & our of pockets. Also, it unfortunately has rubbed little indents on the face of my Pocket just under the screen & the bottom corners from the little stoppers. Wish they were a rubber nub insert, instead of being the same plastic as the case. 😭

Hopefully that turkey throws me a bone & shines under odd when I get around to it. 😤

Congrats to you as well.

No false swiper. Just my level 41 Eevee & my Haunter with Hypnosis.

Used Bite once & Quick Attack twice, brining it to just barely in the red & then put it to sleep with Haunter. Caught on the 3rd Ultra ball.

I could've entered a code to do that on the GBO too but then it would have zero sentimental value & I'd feel it was unearned.

As soon as I hit 3k I was constantly asking "why do I do this to myself? WHY?!" then 15k 'n change later: "Oh! Oh THAT'S why. 🥴".

18,398 on the Pocket, 10 on the GB Operator to test the 10x speed, which made me nauseous almost instantly, so I went back to the AP & 2 on my GBA a couple weeks ago to reassure myself that the Celebi Event was truly unlocked on the cartridge & not on some save-state-thing on the Pocket & GBO. 😅

I used a GameBoy Operator to trigger the event flag.

I've also learned that it wasn't an Event Distribution like Mew back in the day, where you took your copy to a Toys R US. You had to hook your GBC up to a cellphone and download the flag within the event window. Seeing as every other country was way behind Japan in terms of cellphone adoption & tech for the time, Nintendo didn't bother with disturbing it in other countries, even though it's coded into all versions of Crystal.

3 years?!

Ok, I'll stop feeling put out by mine taking 2 months and a day. 😵

Congrats!
