Talk:Azure Flute

Say you caught Arceus. Then, for some reason/by mistake, you released it. What would happen if you went to Spear Pillar? - unsigned comment from Giratina's Embodiment (talk • contribs) 03:34, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

There would not be one there b/c there is only one in the games. And please sign your comments.--Midnight Blue 06:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Say you got an Arceus that was created with a cheat from an online trade, but it was corrupt and you released it to prevent further/possible damage. If it were to mark your pokedex as "caught", would you be able to get to hall of origin with a legit azure flute? --HakairyuvK 18:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes you would. The code on the Flute only checks if you have an Arceus from the Hall of Origin and has you set as the original trainer. It has nothing to do with the Pokédex.

Never been used????

I notice this article says it has NEVER been distributed. Is that true? Nobody in the entire world has EVER gotten the Azure Flute legitimately??? What's it there for, then? Bttsstewart 01:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I has never been distributed over Wi-fi or any other way. It's for Arceus, they did the same thing with Darkrai and Shaymin. Just wait a couple months and they will release it. But that's what I'm predicting.--Midnight Blue 01:24, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Toys"R"Us had an Arceus Giveaway event which began on November 7th and lasted through November 15th. --Arima 22:40, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

But they just gave the Arceus in that event. The Azure Flute will be used in a later Arceus event, just like how Oak's Letter was distributed months after Shaymin was. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 00:11, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

The article says if you catch Arceus, then the azure flute will no longer work. Does the TRU Arceus count as catching Arceus, so that, even if you get the Azure flute you won't be able to get a second Arceus? Or is the game smart enough to know that Arceus is not the one caught by you. (I fear it may not be that smart, because apparently the Arceus respawns if you faint it.. That reeks of sloppy coding) Daniel Benoy 19:49, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

First of all, no, receiving one from an event does not count as catching it in game, so you could still use the Azure Flute to find Arceus after you've done the Toys R Us event. Secondly, it respawning is not sloppy coding. As of Generation IV most Legendary Pokémon respawn after certain criteria have been met if you didn't succeed at catching them the first time. --AndyPKMN 11:55, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
