Event Pokémon: Difference between revisions

:''For a list of Event Pokémon, please use the template [[Template:Event Pokémon|Event Pokémon]].''

'''Event Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are distributed at Nintendo promotional events, such as movie premiers, expositions, festivals, places like PokéPark, real-life Pokémon Center stores and sometimes found in bonus disks or specially transferred from another game.  They typically have a [[List of notable ID numbers|special OT and ID number]] indicating their authenticity and usually a [[Classic Ribbon|special promotional Ribbon]] from Generation III onward.  In Generation IV, most event Pokémon are distributed in [[Poké Ball#Generation IV_Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]]s, special [[Poké Ball]]s that exist solely for event distribution. Event Pokémon are usually desired because they are hard or impossible to find in the games, holding a rare item, and/or know at least one special move that would otherwise be impossible to have via leveling up, TMs, HMs, move tutors, or even breeding.

| [[Azure Flute]] from Nintendo events <!--via {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi}} or wireless-->to access the [[Hall of Origin]]

Periodically, [[Nintendo]] hosts or sponsors parties and events for fans, often in connection to the premier of a new {{pkmn|game}} or {{pkmn|movie}}. They are especially notable in that certain rare [[Pokémon]] and [[item]]s in the games, as well as cards and other things, are only available for a limited time from them. The methods used to transfer Pokémon and items to a game have varied over time, and include direct [[Trade#link cable|link trading]] and physical reception from an [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional Cards|e-Card]] via [[Mystery Events]]. Wireless reception from a ''Wonder Spot'' and Nintendo Wi-FI Connection via [[Mystery Gift]] were also used. Other methods may occur in the future.
