'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' ''Mysterious Gift'') or Wi-Fi Event is a feature found in all Pokémon games from [[Generation II]] onward.
[[File:Mystery Gift V.png|thumb|200px|Mystery Gift]]
'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|不思議|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}}.


==Generation II==
==Differences between generations==
In [[Generation II]], Mystery Gift is used in conjunction with the {{wp|Infrared#Communications|infrared}} port on top of the [[Game Boy Color]] to communicate with other Mystery Gift-enabled games to give other players room decorations or items. It can also be used with [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and [[Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS]]. Mystery Gift can be used a maximum of five times a day, with no more than one gift per user.
===Generation II===
{{incomplete|section|Is it language-dependent? Japanese-Korean, Japanese-international, and Korean-international linking is impossible but Western localizations are compatible with each other in Generations I and II so how is Mystery Gift affected by this?<br/>Can Mystery Gift be activated on the Game Boy Player?}}


To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation II games, players must talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]]. After this has been done, it can be accessed from the start-up menu.
In [[Generation II]], the Mystery Gift system is used in conjunction with the [[infrared]] port on top of the [[Game Boy Color]] to communicate with other Mystery Gift-enabled games in order to provide other players with [[Decoration#Generation II decorations|room decorations]] or [[item]]s. It can also be used with {{g|Stadium 2}} and {{g|Pikachu 2 GS}}. Mystery Gift can be used a maximum of five times a day, receiving no more than one gift from each player.


Once activated, each player will receive a random item if connecting to another main series game, or only the player of the main series game will receive an item if connecting to Pokémon Stadium 2. Some items can only be found when communicating with Pokémon Stadium 2. When connecting to [[Pokémon 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.
To activate the Mystery Gift system in the Generation II games, players must use a Game Boy Color or [[Game Boy Advance]] system, then talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]] and [[save]] the game; after doing this, the option to use the system will be available from the [[main menu]]. While Mystery Gift can be activated on a Game Boy Advance system, it cannot be used on them due to the lack of an infrared port.


Though the Generation II games are playable on a [[Game Boy Advance]], Mystery Gift cannot be used as these systems have no infrared ports.
When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II [[core series]] game, each of the connected games will receive a random item. When it is used to connect to Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item. Some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pikachu 2 GS, the player decides on a number of {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

==Generation III==
===Generation III===
In Generation III, Mystery Gift's primary use is to receive special items at Nintendo events. It is language dependent, so players will not be able to receive items with a foreign copy of the game. A [[link cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] must be used.
====Mystery Gift====
{{incomplete|section|Needs info on Wonder Cards and Wonder News. Explain "Wireless Communication" and "from a friend". What exactly are Wonder Spots and are they related to the Joy Spots?}}
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, meaning players can only receive Mystery Gifts that are intended for games of their language. It is only available by using {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} with a [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] or (for Japanese games only) an [[e-Reader]].


To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any [[Poké Mart]] and enter the phrase below with the [[easy chat system]], based on the language of the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on. However, this feature only exists in Pokémon [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and non-Japanese versions of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
To activate the Mystery Gift system, 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 [[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 Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]] and the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], there is a similar option called Mystery Event. To access this feature, players should talk to the NPC near the [[PC]] in the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Petalburg City]], and enter the phrase below with the [[easy chat system]] while being interviewed (also based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Event has been activated. It will then be on the main menu after saving the game from that point on. Mystery Event can only be unlocked after defeating [[Norman]] and receiving the {{Badge|Balance}}.
In the Japanese games, the Mystery Gift system defaults to an e-Reader mode, but it changes to a Wireless Adapter mode if the Wireless Adapter is connected. In the e-Reader Mode, the system is referred to as '''ふしぎなもらいもの''' instead of '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' (the phrases are mostly synonymous, with the former focusing slightly more on the receiving or receiver and the latter focusing more on the giving or giver).
 
Mystery Gifts can be received via Wireless Communication or from a friend. In the Japanese versions, the Wireless Communication option is instead called '''Joy Spot''' (Japanese: '''ジョイスポット'''), the name of 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>
 
====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]]. Mystery Events can only be unlocked after defeating [[Norman]] and receiving the {{Badge|Balance}}. To access this feature, players must talk to the [[Non-player character|NPC]] near the [[PC]] in the [[Petalburg City]] [[Pokémon Center]] and enter the phrase below using the [[easy chat system]] (based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Events system has been activated. After saving the game, it will then be accessible from the [[main menu]] from that point on.


{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #0047a8; border: 5px solid #2260b6"
Mystery Events is also available in the Japanese version of Emerald. Activating it in Emerald requires using the same questionnaire as is used for Mystery Gifts, found at any Poké Mart, except that the phrase from below must be entered. It is disabled and hidden from the main menu if the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|Wireless Adapter]] mode of Mystery Gift is enabled.

==Generation IV==
===Generation IV===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Mystery Gift must be activated at [[Jubilife TV]]. In the TV station, there is a TV producer on the third floor who will activate the Mystery Gift function if players answer his questions with the correct keywords shown below (based on the language of the game). However, if the player receives a [[Wonder Card]] via a [[Event Pokémon|Nintendo event]] or a Pokémon game, Mystery Gift will be activated whether or not the player has done so beforehand.
[[File:Mystery Gift IV.png|thumb|200px|Mystery Gift in Generation IV]]
{{incomplete|section|Which core series games can connect to the listed spin-offs?}}


{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #0047a8; border: 5px solid #2260b6"
In [[Generation IV]], the Mystery Gift system can be used to transfer {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, or receive [[items]] and Pokémon from {{g|Battle Revolution}}. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], or from a friend. A specific gift can only be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from said games and also only one of each Pokémon from events. Gifts are transferred via [[Wonder Card]], which players can store up to three of. This forces players to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift.
 
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Mystery Gift system is activated at [[Jubilife TV]]. There is a TV producer on the third floor who will activate the Mystery Gift system if players answer his questions with the correct keywords as shown below (based on the language of the game) and [[save]] the game. If the player receives a Wonder Card via a {{pkmn2|event|Nintendo event}} or another compatible game prior to activating the feature, Mystery Gift will be activated automatically regardless.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Mystery Gift is automatically unlocked after receiving the Pokédex. Unlike the first three games of the generation, it is the fourth option seen after pressing "Start" at the title screen. This is because an option for connecting to the [[Pokéwalker]] is added directly after the "New Game" option.
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Mystery Gift system is automatically unlocked after receiving the [[Pokédex]].

===Generation V===
[[File:Mystery Gift V.png|thumb|200px|Mystery Gift in Generation V]]
The Mystery Gift system is now always enabled in the [[main menu]] of the game, even when a save file is not present.
 
Like in [[Generation IV]], players are able to receive gifts wirelessly or from [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The '''Get from a friend''' feature was replaced by the use of serial codes and [[infrared]] to obtain [[event item]]s.
 
The maximum amount of [[Wonder Card]]s a game can hold is increased to 12 for saved games. Games without a save file can only hold at most three Wonder Cards.
 
===Generation VI===
The Mystery Gift system works like in [[Generation V]]. One notable difference is that all non-[[Nintendo Zone]] local events are no longer region-locked. The maximum amount of [[Wonder Card]]s a game can hold is now 24. In order to use Mystery Gift, the game must have a save file.
 
==Delivery process==
{{Incomplete|section}}
Mystery Gifts are delivered by an [[Non-player character|NPC]]. In the [[Generation II]], {{Gen|III}}, {{Gen|IV}}, {{Gen|V}}, and {{Gen|VII}} games, the NPC is male. In the [[Generation VI]] games, the NPC is female.
 
In the Generation II games, he is found at [[Pokémon Center]] 2F on the leftmost counter next to the [[PC]]. In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, he is found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers next to [[Teala]]. In the Generation IV games, he is found at [[Poké Mart]]s by the counter. In the Generation V games, he is found inside Pokémon Centers, near the entry point. In both the Generation VI and VII games, they are found at Pokémon Centers by the {{DL|Pokémon Center Nurse|In the games|receptionist}}'s counter on the left side.


In this generation, Mystery Gift can be used to transfer Pokémon from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] or receive items and Pokémon from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, from the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] or from a friend. The Mystery Gift feature will only allow a specific gift to be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from the said games and also only one of Pokémon from the Events. Gifts are sent with a Wonder Card, which players can store up to three of. This is why players should choose to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift.
==Shiny Pokémon locking==
Usually Pokémon obtained via Mystery Gift are either always {{Shiny}} or never Shiny.


==Generation V==
If the Shiny lock is enabled, {{pkmn|Egg}}s cannot hatch into Shiny Pokémon on the game they are received in, but if they are hatched in another game they can be. This is because the Shiny check uses the ID of the player who obtained the Egg, not the player who hatches it.
The [[Relocator]], which allows sending of Pokémon from [[Generation IV]] games, can be activated at [[Castelia City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Mystery Gift is now always enabled in the main menu of the game without needing to start a New Game, similar to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Trivia==
==See also==
* Not only was the [[Secret Key (Generation IV)|Secret Key]] the first item to be released via a Wi-Fi event, but it was also the first to allow sharing or ''obtaining from friends'' (although sharing is only available with the Japanese version).
* [[Wonder Card]]
* It is impossible to get a {{Shiny}} Mystery Gift Pokémon, unless it is always Shiny, like the [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Shokotan Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]. Eggs cannot hatch into Shiny Pokémon on the game they are received in unless they are set to be always Shiny, like the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Year of the Dragon Eggs}}; however, if they are hatched in another game, all hatched event Pokémon can be Shiny. This is because in the game's coding, there is a Shiny check function which prevents Mystery Gift from being Shiny by regenerating a new PID until the Pokémon isn't Shiny.
* [[Relocator]]
** However, this is not always true in [[Generation V]], since [[List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Super Strong Pokémon Present Campaign|multiple]] [[List of local German event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Summer 2012 Pikachu|events]] [[List of local Korean event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Summer Carnival Pikachu|have]] been released that can be Shiny. The odds are still the same as encountering a Shiny wild Pokémon (1/8192). If the Wonder Card data has a special flag enabled, the game will keep a Shiny PID instead of altering it.

Mystery Gift

Mystery Gift (Japanese: 不思議なおくりもの Mystery Gift) is a system available in the core series games since Generation II that allows players to receive exclusive items and Pokémon.

Differences between generations

Generation II

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Is it language-dependent? Japanese-Korean, Japanese-international, and Korean-international linking is impossible but Western localizations are compatible with each other in Generations I and II so how is Mystery Gift affected by this?
Can Mystery Gift be activated on the Game Boy Player?

In Generation II, the Mystery Gift system is used in conjunction with the infrared port on top of the Game Boy Color to communicate with other Mystery Gift-enabled games in order to provide other players with room decorations or items. It can also be used with Pokémon Stadium 2 and Pokémon Pikachu 2 GS. Mystery Gift can be used a maximum of five times a day, receiving no more than one gift from each player.

To activate the Mystery Gift system in the Generation II games, players must use a Game Boy Color or Game Boy Advance system, then talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the Goldenrod Department Store and save the game; after doing this, the option to use the system will be available from the main menu. While Mystery Gift can be activated on a Game Boy Advance system, it cannot be used on them due to the lack of an infrared port.

When Mystery Gift is used to connect to another Generation II core series game, each of the connected games will receive a random item. When it is used to connect to Stadium 2, the handheld game will receive an item. Some items can only be received when communicating with Stadium 2. When connecting to Pikachu 2 GS, the player decides on a number of Watts to transfer from the device, and the item received will depend on the amount of transferred Watts.

Items

The following items are obtainable randomly by Mystery Gift.

Generation III

Mystery Gift

Reason: Needs info on Wonder Cards and Wonder News. Explain "Wireless Communication" and "from a friend". What exactly are Wonder Spots and are they related to the Joy Spots?

In Generation III, the primary use of the Mystery Gift system is to receive special items at Nintendo events. It is language-dependent, meaning players can only receive Mystery Gifts that are intended for games of their language. It is only available by using Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald with a Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter or (for Japanese games only) an e-Reader.

To activate the Mystery Gift system, 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 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.

Language Top Left Top Right Lower Left Lower Right
Japanese ともだち いっぱい ふしぎ つうしん
English LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL
French CONNEXION AVEC LES DRESSEUR
German LINK MIT ALLE ZUSAMMEN
Spanish CONEXIÓN CON TODOS (blank)
Italian INSIEME IN LINK !

In the Japanese games, the Mystery Gift system defaults to an e-Reader mode, but it changes to a Wireless Adapter mode if the Wireless Adapter is connected. In the e-Reader Mode, the system is referred to as ふしぎなもらいもの instead of ふしぎなおくりもの (the phrases are mostly synonymous, with the former focusing slightly more on the receiving or receiver and the latter focusing more on the giving or giver).

Mystery Gifts can be received via Wireless Communication or from a friend. In the Japanese versions, the Wireless Communication option is instead called Joy Spot (Japanese: ジョイスポット), the name of 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,[1][2] with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen being the first title to include support. According to the Japanese Wikipedia, the service ended on July 8, 2005.[3]

Mystery Events

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

Mystery Events is also available in the Japanese version of Emerald. Activating it in Emerald requires using the same questionnaire as is used for Mystery Gifts, found at any Poké Mart, except that the phrase from below must be entered. It is disabled and hidden from the main menu if the Wireless Adapter mode of Mystery Gift is enabled.

Generation IV

Mystery Gift in Generation IV

Reason: Which core series games can connect to the listed spin-offs?

In Generation IV, the Mystery Gift system can be used to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Ranger, Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, and Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, or receive items and Pokémon from Pokémon Battle Revolution. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, or from a friend. A specific gift can only be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from said games and also only one of each Pokémon from events. Gifts are transferred via Wonder Card, which players can store up to three of. This forces players to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Mystery Gift system is activated at Jubilife TV. There is a TV producer on the third floor who will activate the Mystery Gift system if players answer his questions with the correct keywords as shown below (based on the language of the game) and save the game. If the player receives a Wonder Card via a Nintendo event or another compatible game prior to activating the feature, Mystery Gift will be activated automatically regardless.

French TOUS HEUREUX CONNEXION Wi-Fi
German ALLE GLÜCKLICH Wi-Fi CONNECTION
Spanish CONEXIÓN Wi-Fi TODOS FELICES
Italian CHIUNQUE FELICE Wi-Fi CONNECTION
Korean 모두 두근두근 Wi-Fi 통신

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Mystery Gift system is automatically unlocked after receiving the Pokédex. Due to the addition of an option for connecting to the Pokéwalker in the main menu and its placement as the third entry, players must scroll down on the touch screen to access the Mystery Gift option.

Generation V

Mystery Gift in Generation V

The Mystery Gift system is now always enabled in the main menu of the game, even when a save file is not present.

Like in Generation IV, players are able to receive gifts wirelessly or from Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The Get from a friend feature was replaced by the use of serial codes and infrared to obtain event items.

The maximum amount of Wonder Cards a game can hold is increased to 12 for saved games. Games without a save file can only hold at most three Wonder Cards.

Generation VI

The Mystery Gift system works like in Generation V. One notable difference is that all non-Nintendo Zone local events are no longer region-locked. The maximum amount of Wonder Cards a game can hold is now 24. In order to use Mystery Gift, the game must have a save file.

Delivery process

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.

Mystery Gifts are delivered by an NPC. In the Generation II, III, IV, V, and VII games, the NPC is male. In the Generation VI games, the NPC is female.

In the Generation II games, he is found at Pokémon Center 2F on the leftmost counter next to the PC. In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, he is found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers next to Teala. In the Generation IV games, he is found at Poké Marts by the counter. In the Generation V games, he is found inside Pokémon Centers, near the entry point. In both the Generation VI and VII games, they are found at Pokémon Centers by the receptionist's counter on the left side.

Shiny Pokémon locking

Usually Pokémon obtained via Mystery Gift are either always Shiny or never Shiny.

If the Shiny lock is enabled, Eggs cannot hatch into Shiny Pokémon on the game they are received in, but if they are hatched in another game they can be. This is because the Shiny check uses the ID of the player who obtained the Egg, not the player who hatches it.
