You had to go to a certain place where they would hold the event, then they would have GBA`s that had the event pokemon on.Then they would trade it to you.How they get the event pokemon on? I have no clue. I just know all this because my friend went to a GBA event.

The machine was basically a self-controlled GBA, and when you turned on the game with this connected, you would go through a phase similar to that of a trade, except only half of the animation is shown, since you don’t have to trade anything yourself.

The machines might’ve changed around a little through the GBA years, but at that time, that’s how it worked. =]
