=====Eon Ticket e-Card===== | =====Eon Ticket e-Card===== | ||
The '''Eon Ticket e-Card''' is a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional Pokémon e Card]] which was available at E3 2003, in the September 2003 issue of Nintendo Power and for a limited time at Toys "R" Us stores. This card transfers the Eon Ticket via [[Mystery Events]] to the Key Items pocket of a US Version of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire]]. The Eon Ticket allows players to travel to [[Southern Island]], which is barren, except for the opportunity to catch either {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, the one opposite of the player's version except in {{game|Emerald}}, where the roaming Pokémon is chosen by the player and the one not chosen will be at Southern Island. Since the non-Japanese versions of {{game|Emerald}} had removed the [[Mystery Events]] feature that was present in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, the Eon Ticket can only be obtained in Emerald by mixing records with a Ruby or Sapphire game that already has the ticket. However, if the ticket on the Ruby and Sapphire game was obtained itself by record mixing, that particular game can not send the ticket via mixing, or for that matter, at all. The wild Pokémon will always be holding [[Soul Dew]] when it is caught. This is the only place that Soul Dew can be legally obtained in Generation III. Once the island is left, it cannot be returned to even with the ticket still in hand, though only in Ruby and Sapphire; in Emerald, the island remains accessible. | The '''Eon Ticket e-Card''' is a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional Pokémon e Card]] which was available at E3 2003, in the September 2003 issue of Nintendo Power and for a limited time at Toys "R" Us stores.

=====Electronic Game Show Giveaway===== | |||
In Mexico, the Eon Ticket was given away during the Electronic Game Show 2003, a videogame conference that took place at the World Trade Center of Mexico City from October 23 to 26. The distribution event was a joint collaboration between Club Nintendo Mexico and Nintendo of America. To get the item, players had to go to the Nintendo booth at the expo with their Game Boy Advance (any model) and a cartridge of Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire; once there, a Nintendo employee used a Game Boy Advance, an e-Reader, a Game Link Cable an a Eon Ticket e-Card to transfer the item to the players' cartridge. Aside from the Pokémon Event, the expo was famous for a variety of reasons: Club Nintendo gave away a special issue of their magazine, players could play Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Party 5 before they were released and Charles Martinet, the voice actor of Mario, gave his autograph to the visitors. | |||
