This resulted in the Johto anime having to be heavily altered, resulting in the metric fuckloads of filler and general shittiness that outright served as one of the main reasons for Pokemania's end, all because the retards had zero consideration for something the writers have been building up to as early as the end of the Indigo League.
So now instead, it was a MacGuffin with no importance whatsoever that got dumped off into Kurt's hands, and he's destined to spend the rest of the anime's run figuring out how to open it while no one makes mention of it ever again.
