Mystery Gift: Difference between revisions

To activate the Mystery Gift system in the Generation II games, players must use a Game Boy Color or [[Game Boy Advance]] (including the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]), then talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] and [[Saving|save]] the game; after doing this, the option to use the system will be available from the [[main menu]]. If the player tries to unlock the Mystery Gift system while playing {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} on a [[Game Boy]] (including the [[Game Boy Light]] and [[Game Boy Pocket]]) or [[Super Game Boy]] (including the [[Super Game Boy 2]]), the girl will say that the feature requires a Game Boy Color and won't enable it (in the Japanese versions, she instead claims that her Game Boy "no can do" in regards to activating Mystery Gift). While it can be activated on the Game Boy Advance (and its alternate models), Mystery Gift cannot be used on it due to the lack of an infrared port; the Game Boy (and its alternate models) and Super Game Boy (and its alternate models) also lack an infrared port, which is why the girl refuses to activate when playing on one of those systems.  

Once activated, each player will receive a random item if a connection to another Generation II [[core series]] game is established, or if only the player of the core series game connects to Stadium 2—note that some items can only be found when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pikachu 2 GS, the player selects a number of {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s to transfer, and different items result from transferring different amounts of Watts.

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.

 

 

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.

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 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.
