Pokemon event question

Masuji · Dec 30th, 2012, 9:34:30 PM

Hello,

So everyone here I am sure knows about the mystery gift function in Emerald. Well after 18 years of living in the sticks I finally am near a major city in the US, before my parents would never drive me to a pokemon event so I could get those event gifts. My question is, are these events where you can get the tickets still around, and do they support gen 3 games still? If not, is there some other way to get the event tickets without hacking?

Welcome to 20132.

TPCi hasn't done anything with Emerald in years. They do have lots of wifi and local distribution events for Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.

Oh, and if you're talking about those tickets, they've got them on ebay, but good lord in heaven they're expensive! Plus, you can get pretty much anything from Emerald on any of the newer games.

Nope, but you could find a scan of the tickets, buy an eReader, get another GBA, get an RS cart, get a link cable, scan the card into the eReader, scan it again, repeat the last step 20 times or until it works (if it doesn't after 20, you have a bad scan), and bam, you have whatever island you want.

^No, you can't, unless it's the Eon Ticket, which requires Ruby/Sapphire.

All events for Emerald ended at least seven years or so ago, including all Ticket events. Aside from the Eon Ticket, it is impossible to transfer Tickets between games. If you didn't legitimately have the tickets on your game in 2005, you will never legitimately have them. There were never any e-cards in existence for the other three Tickets, not even in Japan, where they were wireless distributions.

Your safest and probably least expensive option, if you don't mind cheating, is to use a device to back up your GBA game cart save onto the computer, and then use an emulator like VisualBoyAdvance to hack the tickets into your game save. Then you can use the device to put the altered game save back onto your computer. There's no risk here, since even if you mess up your save file by altering it, you would still have a backup. Such a device would probably cost around $20.

If you absolutely insist on not cheating at all, then your only option is to get just the Eon Ticket instead of all three/four tickets. You would need an e-Reader (discontinued in 2004, probably like ~$50 by now), the promotional Eon Ticket e-card (a physical card given out in 2003, really rare and probably also like ~$50), and finally an Ruby/Sapphire game, a link cable, and a second GBA. It's also possible, if you have a really high-definition printer, to print out a scan of the e-card.

It is possible to record mix with someone who did have an eon ticket as well but this one cannot be shared further. So trying to find someone who originally obtained it woudl be difficult in and of itself. One of the Lati's can be found in B2/W2 as well as HG/SS if you really want the other.

For future reference, this is the more appropriate place to ask these types of questions~
