How We Unlocked All Mystery Gift Events

Hello everyone! We're currently working on a video to make translations for all of the events we made and some custom events as well! We still need some help for the last few translations, so if you're fluent in either German, French, Italian, Spanish or Japanese, then consider helping us translate the events! You can join the translation team by joining our new discord server! discord.gg/BF6FveS3mH Edit: We've now finished the translations for the events and are currently working on a video for it. Stay tuned!

The ones obtainable from Nintendo WFC in the Gen 4 and 5 games can be available by using custom servers on an unmodded device called wiimmfi which many people to this day play on. It’s really nice to see people finding ways to still enjoy these classic titles!

Wish Chansey is actually a big deal. Wish Blissey is one of the strongest support Pokemon in Gen 8 OU for example, but it's almost impossible to use on an actual cartridge game because of it's scarcity of being available for three weeks only. Guess this means we have a... more justified way of getting it now. We're using ROMs yes, but at least you're still hatching it like you would've in 2004. Better then nothing.

This deserves so much more recognition. You could very easily become one of the greatest Pokemon mod creators/ROM hackers the world has ever seen.

As someone who never got to experience any of these events, this makes me so excited. I would love to put together a local event in my area to get people together to relive these or experience these for the first time

I bet you could make custom mystery gift events. I’d like to see some!

Clicked on this video out of pure curiosity and interest and finally, after literally, what, 18 years of wondering, I FINALLY know how Altering Cave was supposed to work? I can't believe it, I spent SOOO long as a kid just thinking "it's so mysterious and kinda hidden away but there are just Zubats... What am I missing, what am I doing wrong, what is the mystery behind this cave?!" Well, now I know, they just never really finished it 😂 Great video bud

As a software engineer, this bottom up explanation of taking the machine code to assembly and translating text and pixel data is so awesome!!! Incredible presentation and as always an incredible video giving me a hit of nostalgia mixed with what I love to do everyday

I just have to comment again and say that I downloaded the ROM, and you and Undead Reality have made one of my childhood wishes come true. I’m 24 now and have wanted to do these since I was 10. Thank you so much again!

You guys are geniuses to have made sense of all that code. Thanks for giving some love to gen 3!

Once again, I am seriously impressed on how much work you guys did to make this happen.

you guys are like heros to me, no joke ahaha i have OCD. i wasnt diagnosed until i was in my mid 20s, but looking back it was obvious ive had it since childhood. one of the most obvious ways it manifested was in how particular i was with how i played games; especially pokemon. my brain likes to take completionism to a whole new, unachievable level. and one of the things that drove me up the wall was being unable to obtain event pokemon "correctly." i HATE just hacking stuff in. i want The Genuine Experience™️. since ive been diagnosed and thus am able to have the condition properly treated w medication, etc, the obsessiveness has eased up a little, but being unable to "legitimately" obtain things in games is still distressing. you guys making this sort of thing possible is like a dream come true, ahaha. this is the sorta thing ive wanted to do in my games since i was a kid, and i cant thank you enough for working so hard to make things like this finally possible. anyway. a bit of a long, personal ramble, but... truly, thank you! and whenever you start selling those gen 2 to gen 3 trade adapters, im absolutely snagging one and telling all my friends about it too!

This is truly amazing. Having previously purchased an Eon Ticket, I remember being ecstatic when my brother and I discovered the Aurora Ticket ROM back in 2017, hoping there would be more. With that, we successfully hunted shiny Deoxys in LeafGreen. We did use some of Digiex/Project Pokémon's other ROMs to get the remaining event items (we just distributed the Aurora Ticket to Emerald last week in July 2022), but it's nice to see we can get the Wish Eggs and the Altering Cave Pokémon, too. Good work!

As someone who ragequit the pomeg glitch over 2 years until finally getting it to enable events on italian emerald, I'm thrilled to see such a project offer people a much simpler and genuine event unlocking experience. Great job, guys!

Great video! Love that you're helping with game preservation. As a kid I always missed out on events, so I'm super excited that they'll be available physically instead of me having to use them on emulator. Love the channel, keep up the great work!

This is really cool, and technically impressive. It's good that more people will get to experience these in a near authentic manner... but releasing these files has its own set of greater consequences. It's well documented that there are bad actors out there buying GBA dev carts, flashing event ROMs onto them, and passing them off as real to scam people on eBay. Having these modified roms in a manner where they cannot be easily identified as repos is a dream come true for these scammers. Another consequence is the flood of fakes could make tracking down and preserving real versions of the remaining event cartridges impossible.

This is probably to coolest things I have seen in a long time! I will never understand how any of the really works but I’m excited to see the full outcome of all of this

As someone without a driver's license during Gen 3, the Wonder Cards were like a pantheon of evil gods I simultaneously prayed to and cursed every night growing up. In time there came IR-GTS and acceptable ways to obtain legal event Pokemon, but what I wanted even more was to see the steps between the Emerald experience I knew and the game state available to people attending the events. Wonderful to see this done so thoroughly!

I learned something new! Thank you to you both as well as to the community that have researched the code and developed software!

Brilliant stuff-this has satisfied the curiosity I've had around these events since I was a kid! Thank you for all the hard work you put into this :D
