Distribution cartridges are given to stores for event distributions, and are not sold commercially. Starting in [[Generation IV]], they only contain information for the event Pokémon, and have no actual game data or save possibilities. These cartridges use [[DS Wireless Communications]] to distribute events starting in Generation IV. At the end of an event, they are intended to be sent to Nintendo's Waste Management facility in Redmond, Washington, where they are presumably destroyed. However, sometimes, distribution cartridges are leaked or sold to the public.
