A '''Wonder Card''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなカード''' '' | {{redirect|WC|the real-life competition|World Championships}} | ||
A '''Wonder Card''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなカード''' ''Wonder Card'') is a digital card used by the [[Mystery Gift]] system to track events that the player has received. They were introduced in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and have been used in every [[core series]] game since. | |||
==Usage== | |||
Wonder Cards in the {{player}}'s possession can be viewed through the card album feature of the [[Mystery Gift]] system. Wonder Cards mention the name of the gift, whether the player has already received the gift, a brief description of the gift, and, starting in [[Generation IV]], the date the Wonder Card was received in the game. An image of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, [[item]], or other contents of the gift is also included. | |||
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, each event distribution has unique Wonder Card text, which is stored in the card itself. From [[Generation V]] onwards, the distribution text serves this role, so the Wonder Card text is instead pulled from a fixed pool that describes where it was obtained; once the event has been collected, the Wonder Card text changes to indicate this. | |||
Wonder Cards | Some Wonder Cards may also be sent to other players, enabling a player with a Wonder Card to gift a copy of it to other players that do not have it. | ||
==Collection== | |||
The gifts provided by the Wonder Cards can be received from specific [[non-player characters]]. | |||
* From the delivery man on the second floor of [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Generation III]] | |||
* From the delivery man in [[Poké Mart]]s in [[Generation IV]] | |||
* From the delivery man in Pokémon Centers in [[Generation V]] | |||
* From the delivery girl in Pokémon Centers in [[Generation VI]] | |||
* From the delivery man in Pokémon Centers in [[Generation VII]] | |||
==Maximum amount per game== | |||
The games can only store a limited number of Wonder Cards. If a player has too many Wonder Cards, they are unable to receive any new ones until they discard old ones. Discarded cards can never be retrieved and if a Wonder Card is deleted before the gift is received, the gift will be deleted as well. Collecting a gift does not cause a Wonder Card to be discarded, although it will be marked as used. | |||
