Decades-long wait ends as Pokemon player finally encounters Mythical Pokemon

After decades of missed opportunities, a Pokemon player finally encounters the Mythical Pokemon Celebi in Pokemon Crystal on the Nintendo 3DS. Previously, Celebi could only be obtained through real-world events or online distributions, but the recent Virtual Console release of Pokemon Crystal allowed players to receive a GS Ball and encounter Celebi in-game. The player can then transfer Celebi to later games using the Poke Transporter app.
