Getting Celebi (in Generation 2) | Virtual Console, Emulators, and more!
Now that I've covered Celebi in Generation 3 of Pokemon, it's time to talk about catching one in Gen 2. Despite the difficulty and hoops you could end up going through, there are a surprising number of options. These options range from Original Cartridge, to Virtual Console - and several variants in-between.
Follow any choice in this tutorial, and you will get a Celebi. I believe in you.
