...Dangit i don't have a twitter account.

I can assume that they were for Celebi, since i believe we didnt get him till 2005.

You don't need a Twitter account. Just follow the instructions to get a Hoopa. Simple as that. :)

And done!

I don't think people were as rabid for Celebii and Mew because no one had them.
There weren't people begging to trade because no one had them to trade to begin with.
Everyone who had them just gamesharked them in or glitched the games out to catch them.

Were there glitches to catch Celebi back in the day?

I dunno. But it was easy to glitch mew in

Got mine (Finally!). Traded a duplicate Shiny Jirachi for it.

He's already Level 100 and his Sp.ATK is MASSIVE! (441!)

Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings while I was trying to obtain him...

Those are hacked. Legit Hoopa can't be traded on GTS because of the ribbon.

Oops?

You mean people read that and didn't instantly know they were hacked? Oh dear...
