I'm surprised this thread hasn't been made yet!

Anyway, in recent news it has been leaked that the US release of the Pokémon Celebi is to be held in a GameStop event from February 27th 2011 to March 7th 2011. Other than HeartGold and SoulSilver, this event will also be available for Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and will unlock two specific in-game events in both HG/SS and B&W.

In HG/SS, with this Celebi you can take it to Ilex Forest where you will time travel back in time and learn the past of Team Rocket and the mystery behind Giovanni's disappearance after RBG and FR/LG. When using the Transfer Machine in Black and White, you may take Celebi to the GameFreak Headquarters in Castelia City and in return, obtain a Zorua for yourself. So, you can say this Celebi will be something special to acquire for yourself. Do you think you'll get it if this proves true?

Note that this is an internet leak so further details and confirmation still awaits according to Serebii.

Update!

Looks like we got some confirmation on the exact dates for the Celebi events...finally.

In America, at your local GameStop stores from February 21st to March 6th you will be able to pick up your Celebi with any copy of Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver. So, if you have all 5 games, then you can pick yourself up 5 Celebi's. :D

Also...

EDIT: Now announced in Holand and England!

If the info is correct I will getting one if I can (Most Likely) the 27th is pretty far away though :(. But I'd like to get that Zorua and complete the event in Hg/SS so I will more than likely drive 30 miles to my nearest gamestop to get one.

Pokemon really needs more events like this: backstory ftw!

I'll be getting two, one for my SS and one for HG when the distribution starts.

I asked my brother, who is currently in the U.S, to pick it up for me because I live in Canada.
I already watched someone time-travel on Youtube and I want to experience it myself now.

Yes, yes, and yes. xDD I have been waiting for this event for quite awhile now. I was really disappointed that the US version of Crystal didnt get the celebi event, and I missed the celebi event for RSE, so I am totally excited for this one!

Now just to wait for the non-American places to announce the date of when we'll get the event! =p

Firgured this'd happen sooner or later though, so I'm not surprised whatsoever. About time Celebi has a main event.

I'll definitely get to a GameStop for that event. I'm psyched for it, and luckily I live pretty close to a GameStop so it shouldn't be too difficult to reach.

If the rumors are true, then I'm going for the Celebi; unfortunately, I may not have access to Wi-Fi when I do.

I doubt we'll even get it D; Since the UK are always left of the list for events.

Our last event was the Darkrai promoting the 10th Movie >>

I really wanna get an event without having to trade -.-' Darkrai was rubbish! >:

Non U.S. citizens I wouldn't worry, this is for promoting Movie 13 so expect for it to be in major countries across Europe and Australia, like Movie Arceus was last year. If it is overly a concern for anyone, those who have wifi I will gladly clone mine and give them out for free.


EDIT
@dragonomega
Here are the events in the UK since the release of Alamos Darkrai. That isn't exactly nothing.

2009 UK Event Releases
Movie11 Shaymin
VGC09 Milotic
EUSMR09 Regigigas

2010 UK Event Releases
SPR2010 Pichu
Michina Arceus
VGC10 Eevee
SMR2010 Jirachi
FAL2010 Mew

Why was I not informed... ;~;

I normally check quite a few sites, and I remember none of my local gameshops ever said anything.

At least three SPR2010 Pichu, SMR2010 Jirachi, and FAL2010 Mew were done via wifi, so there was no location involved. All you needed as a English game pack and you could be any where in the world with wifi, so it worked in the USA even though it was intended for England. If I remember correctly the other locations were GAME and Woolworth's. So I suggest try either of those places if you are looking to get Celebi. I can almost guarantee you it will be in the following countries England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and Holland.

Four Gamestop events in a row? Oh bother. Why isn't Celebi a wifi event?

Probably cause Pokemon Co. had an agreement with Gamestop too hold the event there. Money may have played a factor. Gamestop pays them so poke fans come in there and potentially buy games? I dunno for sure that is just my guess.
