Summary of "Nobody Should Own This Pokémon Cartridge"

Nobody Should Own This Pokémon Cartridge

The video explores a rare and unofficial Pokémon distribution cartridge for the Game Boy Advance. This reproduction cartridge claims to unlock numerous event Pokémon for Generation 3 games, including Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen. Although not officially made by Nintendo, it can still transfer many unique and rare event Pokémon that even the creator had never encountered before.

Storyline / Context

The creator received a mysterious Pokémon distribution cartridge from an old GameStop event.
The cartridge is unofficial (a reproduction) but capable of distributing many event Pokémon from Gen 3.
The video documents testing the cartridge by connecting it via a Link Cable to original Game Boy Advance Pokémon games.
Various events are explored, including very rare or previously unknown ones such as:
- A Celebi event for Gen 3
- UK shiny Zigzagoon
- A special 10th anniversary Celebi

Gameplay Highlights

The cartridge requires connection to a Game Boy Advance with a Gen 3 Pokémon game via a Link Cable.
Players must have space in their party to receive event Pokémon.
Events can be selected from a menu on the cartridge, featuring many obscure and official events.
Some events initially failed to transfer, but others worked perfectly, including:
- Aura Mew
- Shiny Zigzagoon holding rare berries
- Deoxys in its space form
- 10th anniversary Celebi
The cartridge works across multiple Gen 3 games, including FireRed and LeafGreen, allowing players to bypass usual in-game restrictions (e.g., obtaining Hoenn Pokémon early in FireRed).
Multiple copies of the same event Pokémon can be received; these copies have randomized stats and natures, making each unique rather than exact clones.

Strategies / Key Tips

Ensure there is enough room in your party before attempting to receive event Pokémon.
Use the correct Game Boy Advance Link Cable (not a Game Boy Color cable) for the connection.
Save your game before starting the transfer.
If an event fails to transfer, try other events or use “Berry fix glitch” events that might resolve transfer issues.
The cartridge can be used to collect a wide variety of event Pokémon that were previously inaccessible or unknown.
