| Shouldn’t the box trick from the first two generations be included? It doesn’t seem that the programmers intended the stats to be manipulated, only recreated to avoid storing the stats for each pokémon in the boxes. | | Shouldn’t the box trick from the first two generations be included?

| Unlimited Mystery Gifts | | Unlimited Mystery Gifts |
| Follow these instructions:
| | This occurs since the programmers did not foresee a problem. The user capitalizes on the resetting of the clock to trick the game into allowing mystery gift trades more frequently than once a day per friend. |
| Do Mystery Gift first, if you haven’t already.
| |
| Get the item from the PokéCenter (unless you received a room decoration) then continue.
| |
| Save your game.
| |
| Start over and enter your password for resetting time.
| |
| Choose continue to enter your saved game.
| |
| Save your game and turn it off.
| |
| Then do another Mystery Gift.
| |
| Ta-da! “You got gift” and start over again to get another and another and another. (I can keep going on.)
| |
| | |
| Some tips before doing this cheat:
| |
| You can get more rare gifts if you set the clock for night between 12:00 AM through 2:00, and are standing in front of your house in New Bark Town.
| |
| When resetting time, set the time for 11:57 PM because then after you’re done getting your Mystery Gift (and get it from the PokéCenter) you can wait for the time to go to 12:00 AM, save game, and do Mystery Gift again.
| |
| It will take less time to get gifts unless you’re really desperate or want only rare items at midnight.
| |
| You can still do it even if your friend doesn’t know their password for resetting time and you do. Although you will get something, your friend won’t because all it will say “you can’t do Mystery Gift again with the same person on the same day.”
| |
| | |
| Editor’s Note: You may have to set the day, too. Actually, it isn’t so important to know about setting the time. The part that is of real importance is the timing and location of your character in order to receive rare gifts.

| Berry Glitch (Ruby/Sapphire) | | Berry Glitch (Ruby/Sapphire) |
| In the games as part of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is the ability to plant berries (Berries previously being introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver) in patches of “soft loamy soil,” allowing the player to cultivate berry gardens of whatever berries that player wants. This feature came with a significant bug; after a saved game of Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire had been played for a year or longer, the berry plants wouldn’t grow, and all time-based events (such as the Pokémon Lottery) stopped working. | | In the games as part of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is the ability to plant berries (Berries previously being introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver) in patches of “soft loamy soil,” allowing the player to cultivate berry gardens of whatever berries that player wants.

| Nintendo created a program that fixed this problem with the game’s clock and began a campaign to make players aware of the glitch and the fix; in the United States, beginning in March of 2004, Nintendo included a berry fix program on the Nintendo GameCube demo discs distributed to GameStop and EB Games stores, for use in their demonstration GameCubes. (These game stores often have kiosks with current video game consoles for customers to try out games.) Connecting Game Boy Advance running a copy of Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire to a GameCube running one of these demo discs would fix the berry glitch, as well as transferring over a shiny zigzagoon with a liechi berry as a hold item to the copy of Ruby or Sapphire. | | Nintendo created a program that fixed this problem with the game’s clock and began a campaign to make players aware of the glitch and the fix.

| This program was discontinued in North America by the end of 2004, but Nintendo included the berry fix program in other products, as well. The demo disc given to those who pre-ordered Pokémon Colosseum has a program similar to the one included on the EB Games and GameStop discs, but, instead of transferring a shiny zigzagoon, it transfers a jirachi to the connected game (the Japanese Version transferred a Celebi instead). Also, when you transfer jirachi from the European version Pokémon Channel to Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire, this also fixes the Berry Glitch.
| |
| | |
| Later Pokémon games, including Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Emerald, Pokémon Box, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness also include a hidden mode that can fix the berry glitch, albeit without the additional gifts included with the other versions of the berry fix program.

| Much of what is here I have collected from various sources from the internet. I have forgotten exactly where, but the sites that I used mostly were GameFAQs. All other sources have been sited within the text. Most can easily be confirmed and many people learned about these on their own without any help from a guide. Some of these I found on my own (and naïvely thought I had discovered something new), some I have tested and found to be false. In these cases naming the contributor would be discourteous. Many are still waiting to be confirmed. If they are confirmed by an independent source they will be credited within the text. So far, I have been carrying on alone.
