Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire EON Ticket Extravaganza
Journey to Southern Island and finally meet the legendary Latias or Latios
For one day only Pokémon fans across the UK can download EON tickets onto their Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire games! The EON ticket allows you to visit the Southern Island to encounter Latias (in Pokémon Ruby) or Latios (in Pokémon Sapphire). Gamers should head to one of 30 participating Gamestation stores on Saturday 21st February 2004 to get their hands on the legendary EON Ticket.
Kids just need to take their Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire game plus their Game Boy Advance to one of the following Gamestation stores, where they can download the EON ticket onto their game with the use of a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable.
Before receiving these exclusive EON tickets, players must have collected 5 badges in Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire by defeating five of the gym leaders and then activate the mystery event. Pokémon fans better get battling! After receiving the EON ticket, players need to travel to Petalburg City to meet their father, the gym leader Norman, who will actually hand over the EON ticket. Once the Elite Four and the Pokémon League Champion have been defeated, you can then take the ferry (SS Tidal) from Lilycove City Harbour to the renowned Southern Island.
Once on Southern Island players will encounter Latias in Pokémon Ruby or Latios in Pokémon Sapphire, which carry SOUL DEW (which boosts Special Attack and Special Defence, not found in any other places). Latias and Latios are known as mysterious* and yet powerful Dragon-Psychic types of Pokémon.
After downloading an EON ticket for yourself you will also be able to share it with your friends, around 100 times, using a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable to connect two Game Boy Advances together.
Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire launched on 25th July 2003 priced at around 45 Euros each.
The EON ticket will be available from the following Gamestation stores on Saturday 21st February:
