Yep. They coded in the GS Ball event to occur after becoming champion (by going to the Goldenrod Pokemon Center), which ends up with a Celebi encounter. It's only for the eshop versions of Crystal specifically; Gold/Silver won't get it.

The Celebi is also not shiny locked, if you care about such things. You're going full original odds for it though, meaning 1:8192. I went for mine recently and got it; I didn't count my attempts but I don't think it took me much more than around a thousand, so I lucked out.

I don't think I'd want to try for shiny. I don't care about much things but I missed out on several generations of Pokemon from 5 and onward. I think I played a few minutes of White and some of Y and haven't touched Sun or Moon. I did beat Shield though and played some of Scarlet.

I bought almost all of the games though because I wanted to fill my Pokemon bank up and complete it. Maybe I should continue that through Crystal then.
