How do you get Celebi in Crystal Gameboy?

Celebi, the Voice Pokémon, is a relatively rare and elusive Pokémon. In Pokémon Crystal, only a few methods allow trainers to obtain Celebi for their team. In this article, we will explore all the ways to get your hands on this unique bird-like Pokémon.

Putting the Code in – Quick Method

One of the most straightforward ways to unlock Celebi is by exploiting a glitch in the original Pokémon Crystal game. Make sure you have a non-saving device, such as a Game Boy Color.

Step-by-Step Guidelines:

1. On the first day of owning the game, go talk to Kurt in Azalea Town.
2. Wait for 24 hours: Do not save during this time.
3. Return to Kurt without saving and he will retrieve the GS Ball.
4. Go to the ruins in Ilex Forest and put the GS Ball in the top-left shrine.
5. Celebi will appear from the shrine, and now you can catch it like any other Pokémon.

Note: This strategy is only possible on Pokémon Crystal and not on modified or hacked versions.

Alternative Methods

While hacking or exploiting glitches is technically cheating, there are moral and ethical concerns. Many trainers prefer to play game the way it was initially intended. For those opting for a more traditional Pokémon Crystal experience, there exists an alternative method to encountering Celebi.

Gold and Silver Connection

Celebrating the release of Pocket Monsters: Gold and Silver, a special event enabled trainers to receive Celebi in Pokémon Crystal. Make sure you have a Link Cable and a friend carrying a copy of Pokémon GS.

Step-by-Step Guidelines:

• Connect your Game Boy by using the Link Cable from your friend’s Game.
• In Pokémon Crystal: Go to the Golden Gate, and in Pokémon RS: Go to the Space Center.
• Select "Connect to Another Game Link" and then "Go to Another Game Link in Another Area".
• Perform the same steps on a friend’s Game Boy Gold or Silver.
• Access the Mystery Gift option during the event (from now until the end of) and receive Celebi once.

Conclusion

So, there you have two ways to get Celebi in Pokémon Crystal. Please remember that the first process is only possible on classic Game Boy Color and takes advantage of a glitch never intended by the game programmers. The second method guarantees a more traditional experience utilizing the Link Cable feature across multiple games.

Whether the method you choose is exploitative or traditional, making Celebi a part of your team will undoubtedly enhance any Pokémon adventure.
