How to properly use a GS Ball ??

I got a GS Ball by performing the Celebi Trick (not the egg one, I don't know its real name) with an Exeggcute.
I got an Onix holding a GS Ball.

Kurt didn't accept it, so I got all the 16 badges and came back to him. Nothing happened again.

I'd like to know if Celebi's event can only be unlocked with a gameshark code, by having the GS Ball in your "normal" item pocket (I read that's the way) or by using the Japanese version. Or is there a possibility to have Celebi this way also in other version ?

PS. I'm italian, so my question is related to italian edition. Do your english/american versions work this way ?

The GS Ball has no effect. Celebi can't be obtained outside the Japanese version.

Thanks for the quick reply, I guess it triggers the event only when it's received with the mobile phone adapter. I'll go with the egg, if so.

These codes may or may not help:

Give GS Ball to Kurt (Exatron)
014089DA

Get GS Ball from Kurt (Exatron)
01C089DA

This codes probably DO help gameshark owners, (I haven't tested personally but saw some videos showing their use) but I also have a doubt about their effect: do they "unlock" something (a variable maybe) that triggers the event DIRECTLY (substituting the whole mobile adapter thing) or do they set some "requirements" that you have to fulfill  to activate the event in ANY version ?

In the English version the GS Ball does nothing no matter how its obtained. The Celebi event still exists and can be unlocked with a Gameshark code, but this code works whether you have a GS Ball or not.

this code works whether you have a GS Ball or not.

The event flag check does NOT check for the "has been given GS Ball" if the "give GS Ball to Kurt" flag is ready to pop, which is why this works. If anyone was curious. ( :P )
Because Game Freak never expected you to not have obtained the GS Ball when giving the GS Ball to Kurt. (GS Ball GS Ball GS Ball…)

Indeed! That been said, since a lot of things happened since 2009, we can now trigger the event using code execution :D
