Well I have an urge to post it only cause its so damn irking. I guess they want us to forget it but did they have to do it like that? You guys?
 
We don't even know what other events possibly take place in Ilex Forest at this point.

Why are you making such assumptions now, there's a lot of things that we have NO clue about still.

And it doesn't matter to me, IMO. Sticking the GS ball in a hole and making Celebi pop out seemed like a really bad cop-out for an event.
There was all that talk about Ilex Forest being in turmoil and all you did was stick ball in hole and catch green fairy.
 
Notch-Eared Pichu is pretty much an example of everything that can possibly go wrong in the Pokemon franchise. Useless retread of an already unpopular cutesy Pokemon that lacked substance to begin with and ultimately accomplished or added nothing but a lot of annoying and undeserved hype.
 
Wait. So we have confirmation that the GS ball isn't in the games? When the most likely event-pokémon for the next movie is Celebi? Not being able to catch it at it's original place sounds stupid, and with the ability to have Wi-Fi events now, I don't see why they would drop it.

Wow, really?

I remember saying months ago that NEP was stealing Celebi's spotlight...

But yeah, I don't like it.
 
Yep no GS Ball. Celebi is in fact tied into some kinda mad time travelling story with Giovanni. Its like an expansion pack gone wrong or something.

You sir are scary.
 
I'd call NEP an example of style over substance game design, but that might imply it had STYLE. : P
 
If NEP replaced Celebi, they just failed. Epicly. But isn't NEP from the past? Does it just pop out from nowhere in a shrine that has ties to time-travel? Isn't there an in-game Celebi-event?
 
Celebi takes you back in time to beat Giovanni when Team Rocket tries to get him back.
 
The In-Game Celebi event looks to not be activated by the shrine but by something else involving closure on Giovanni and possibly Silver. Fucking expansion pack gone wrong.

We don't know where it takes place, guy.
Stop trolling everywhere about how these are now the WORST GAMES EVAR after one thing.
 
Oh no I'm not its just its fucking annoying that it got ruined like that. Its still the best game I have no doubts its just this one thing which pisses me off.

Well you seem to be a preacher for HGSS worst game 09.
 
No just a preacher for worst Retcon of 2009 remakes.
 
Celebi showing up because you put the G/S Ball in the shrine was pretty stupid anyway. NEP actually seems to make more sense because the Pokedex acted as though the shrine was where Celebi brought other Pokemon/eggs.
 
It's not even really a retcon, since there wasn't much story to the Celebi even aside from bringing the ball to the shrine. It's not like the shrine itself isn't still obviously related to Celebi. I don't care about retcons, I'm just mad at how everyone's chain was yanked over a Pichu that can't evolve and has a funny ear, yet received the same treatment and hype that a Legendary event Pokemon like Shaymin or Manaphy or Mew usually get. It was frankly, insulting and creatively bankrupt.
