'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' | '''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' ''Mystery Gift'') is a system available in the [[core series]] games since [[Generation II]] that allows {{player}}s to receive exclusive [[item]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. | ||

In [[Generation III]], the primary use of the Mystery Gift system is to receive special [[item]]s at {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo events}}. It is language-dependent so players will not be able to receive items using games that don't match the language of the Mystery Gift. | |||
It is only available in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, and an [[e-Reader]] (Japan) or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] (everywhere) must be used. In the Japanese versions, the Mystery Gift system alternates between e-Reader and Wireless Adapter modes; if the Wireless Adapter is not connected, it falls back to e-Reader mode. The Japanese name also changes between the modes: in Wireless Adapter mode, it's called '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' like in the [[Generation II]] and later games, whereas in e-Reader mode it is referred to as '''ふしぎなもらいもの''' instead (both おくりもの and もらいもの can be translated as "present" or "gift"). | |||
Mystery Gifts can be received via '''Wireless Communication''' or from a friend. In the Japanese versions, the Wireless Communication option was originally '''Joy Spot''' (Japanese: '''ジョイスポット'''), a service launched by [[Nintendo]] on March 25, 2004 to provide multiplayer gaming and wireless data distribution to players of the [[Game Boy Advance]] using the Wireless Adapter,<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0404/pokemon/ 話題の新サービス！ ジョイスポット体験レポート]</ref><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2004/03/11/joy-spot Joy Spot - IGN] ([https://archive.is/zyD37 archived copy])</ref> with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} being the first title to include support. According to the Japanese Wikipedia, the service ended on July 8, 2005.<ref>[https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ゲームボーイアドバンス専用ワイヤレスアダプタ&oldid=48521539#ジョイスポット ゲームボーイアドバンス専用ワイヤレスアダプタ - Wikipedia]</ref> | |||
To activate the Mystery Gift system in these games, players need to walk up to the questionnaire found at any [[Poké Mart]], fill it by entering the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] (based on the language of the game) and [[Saving|save]] the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform the player that the Mystery Gift system has been activated, and it will be accessible from the [[main menu]] from that point on. | |||

====Mystery Events==== | |||
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is a similar system called '''Mystery Events''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなできごと''' ''Mystery Events''), which requires an [[e-Reader]]. To access this feature, players must talk to the [[Non-player character|NPC]] near the [[PC]] on the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Petalburg City]] and enter the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] while being interviewed (based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Events system has been activated. It will then be accessible from the [[main menu]] after saving the game from that point on. Mystery Events can only be unlocked after defeating [[Norman]] and receiving the {{Badge|Balance}}. | In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is a similar system called '''Mystery Events''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなできごと''' ''Mystery Events''), which requires an [[e-Reader]].

In the Japanese version of Emerald, Mystery Events is available in addition to the aforementioned Mystery Gift. The systems are enabled using the same mechanism; the player fills the questionaire at any Poké Mart a second time but with the phrase for the other system and saves the game. | |||
