The entire event will be happening in Warsaw. Event is organised by Pokemon Vallhlla under the patronage of Nintendo Poland, and it's organised due to upcoming premiere of Zoroark:Master of Illusions (with the movie itself premiering week later, at the August 27th) in Poland. The Celebi is the fateful encounter Celebi from Movie 13 - it can be downloaded to any Generation IV game, and in case of HeartGold and SoulSilver, it activates the event that includes battle with Giovanni, while after transferring it to Black and White, player can receive Zorua from Castelia City.

The Pokémon Day will begin at noon, and end around 20:00 (8:00PM), though the time of ending will largely depend on fans' interest, and it can be moved to earlier or later hour.

Celebi's owner will be WIN2011 (ID: 01211), it will be in Cherish Ball, holding Classic Ribbon and Jaboca Berry. Celebi will also know Leaf Storm, Recover, Nasty Plot and Healing Wish.

Chance to get Celebi and to trade with other players isn't the only attraction. Starting at 12:00, players will be able to subscribe to Tournament of Pokémon Fights, which will start at 14:00 (2:00PM). Tournament will be in elimination system. The next contest, an art contest, will begin at 16:00 (4:00PM). Everyone participating in it will be sketching chosen Pokémon. The third and last contest will start at 18:00 (6:00PM), and it will be a special knowledge test about Pokémon.

The aforementioned tournament will have these rules:

• Single Battles
• Player brings 6 Pokémon, and chooses 3 to use in battle.
• Level Limit - 50 or none (it's not set yet)
• Item Clause
• Species Clause
• Sleep Clause
• Banned Pokémon:
  • Mewtwo
  • Mew
  • Lugia
  • Ho-Oh
  • Celebi

  • Dialga
  • Palkia
  • Giratina (both formes)
  • Phione
  • Manaphy
  • Darkrai
  • Shaymin (both formes)
  • Arceus

As Pokemon Valhalla says, this is first event of this type in Poland. That means that players from Poland no longer need to trade with other country to get this event-exclusive (barring GS Ball and japanese bonus disc which weren't available without either japanese Pokémon Crystal or preordering japanese Pokémon Colosseum) Pokémon, and will be able to use "Get via Wireless" for first time.
