You Can Get OLD Pokémon Events in 2024!

Pokémon events on the DS games ended a very long time ago, or did they? Technically yes, but with the DNS method it is still possible AND you can get them all! This is a tutorial for Gen 4 & 5 both, and I hope it helps you!

We might find a way to revive those as well once Nintendo shuts down online services for the 3DS in April 2024. But Pokemon Bank might bite the dust soon after as they already warned us.

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

For those asking, you don't need to change your time, date, location, or any other settings on your DS/3DS to get these event Pokemon. Whatever events are available in certain regions, they're accessible in those specific region cartridges. Using this method, you can get those event Pokemon at any time regardless of location! Just make sure they're the right cartridges if there's a certain event you want. Important note: The events are random, so expect the same or different events showing up in the mystery gifts multiple times in a row. Think of it like an RNG system. Yes, all of these Pokemon are legit.

[@griffin3578]

@@mauricioalvarez4611back in the day they basically gave you a pokewalker and it would encourage you walk around. The more steps you took the more likely you were able to get a rare mon. There were different routes you can take some were exclusive I unfortunately never got the chance to get. You would set it up before you extract a mon to put into the pokewalker and then transfer it back when you got home. The screen on the pokewalker would light up if it encountered a pokemon

[@RogueViirus12]

Yeah it just lets you take a pokemon with you on the go to "walk" with you, letting it gain levels and experience depending on how many steps you take. Each route has an item pool ) varying rarity determined by how many steps on the route you've taken) and mon pool that you can catch (up to two you can import back I think?). Every 20ish steps give you 1 "watt" where you can spend on the pokewalker to encounter a pokemon or search for an item. Iirc your mon can also find items and watts for you if you don't check it for a while while walking Fun as a kid for feeling closer to your mons, but there were also some neat routes to get harder to obtain items. There was also a Pikachu route that let you catch a Pikachu with surf and another one that knew fly

[@DaMu24]

You don't NEED an Android mobile hotspot for Gen4. If you have access to your home internet router, just set up a 2.4Ghz access point. Windows 10 computers can also tether their Internet with their Wi-Fi card, adjust the settings to broadcast 2.4Ghz and no/low password security.

I have tried with my wifi, doesn’t work, i’m so lost, my access point has strong password, also it’s gen 5

[@poundcakeboi3104]

I was wondering why on earth it would matter if it was wifi from a cellular hotspot or router.

[@johncunningham5027]

But how can I access my internet router ?

[@DaWrecka]

Modern routers usually use the WPA protocol for authentication. The original DS didn't support WPA; only the much-weaker WEP. You're right that it needs to be 2.4GHz, because the DS pre-dated 5GHz Wifi, but a DS can't connect to a 2.4GHz access point unless it's using either WEP or no encryption. Because they were made to work on the original DS and DS Lite, the Gen4 games can't use WPA either. The Gen5 games are DSi-enhanced. Among other things, that means they can use the full DSi wifi, which supports WPA. Setting up a persistent 2.4GHz access point on your home router with WEP is a really bad idea; it's better than having no password, but not by much, as it's a very weak form of encryption that any modern phone can bypass in minutes, if that. Using a mobile hotspot is a decent workaround; You turn it on when you need it, then turn it off when you don't.

I don't understand why it worked earlier this year and not now, but I'm guessing the servers are unstable or down. I'm not sure, but maybe there's a difference between Europe/Asia/US?

[@Umi_2024]

For anyone doing this make sure you don’t have another WiFi router saved onto your settings and in proximity to you otherwise your 3ds/2ds/dsi will connect to it messing up the dns settings.

Okay update after testing between my fake pearl and legitimate diamond copies: it seems like you're only allowed 3 darkrai, 2 regigigas, 2 shaymin, and 4 manaphy per copy of diamond or pearl (idk about platinum and I'm sure the gen 2 remakes have different event pkmn). The message when you're collecting the mystery gift seems the same almost every time but they all have different OTs when you inspect them in-game (even though their movesets and levels are all the same). The 3 darkrai do have the same OT but different ID numbers. All of the others have a limit of 1 per game.

[@OfficerPorkchops]

All of it is unofficial. What’s actually happening is someone out there is hosting a server that pretends to be the official pokemon distribution server. When you change your DNS, your console attempts to contact the official server for distributions but is instead redirected to the unofficial one where it’s fed the event data. These “events” aren’t truly the event pokemon either, but just pokemon that look as close as possible to the official event ones (which might as well be the exact same anyways) and the wonder cards are edited to look exactly like what the original event cards said. This also means whoever’s hosting the unofficial event server can create any kind of distribution they want, including adding ones never meant to have been distributed.

I homebrewed my DS and just injected events into my savegame but this here is probably even cooler and needs no homebrewing. The pokemon can NOT be distinguished from legit event claims therefore no worries for people who might fear being Nintendo banned. Though I do recommend to set your DS time to a date where the events were given away. It just looks better but the problem with the DNS/Wifi method is, that you dont know what events you get, you just get all existing events one by one, which makes the time changing a real hassle.

@@jblockminermc5401 I don't know if it's the way OP did it; but if you're using a 3DS, there's a piece of homebrew software called PKSM which can edit the save directly, and you can inject Wonder Cards with it.

Pokemon is a video game, and these are digital implementations allowing you to reobtain long lost event Pokemon. Of course they're real. None of these events was I ever aware of, nor could I have gone to them even if I was made aware. I do not think it a correct mindset to state these mons are not real, because they are not obtained fifteen years ago at one-off events. Silly.

[@TMORAF]

Something that shuld be noted is that for DsOG/lite plus any ds/3ds console using the gen 4 games is that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE AN ANDROID WIFI HOTSPOT. This seems to be something everyone that has done a subjet on this fails to mention. Yes you can do this as this is the simple way if you have android phone of course. But! Almost any modern router should have the option to make a 2.4 ghz wi-fi network. It's best to make a guest network where there will be no password to type in anyway. You also do not have to type in the SSID stuff in the DS at all as the network should appear when searching for an access point.

[@awkwardone]

Our router has both a 5 and 2.4 at all times should check it out sometime then

[@henryso4]

the issue isn't just whether your router/hotspot or whatever is broadcasting at 2.4ghz. the main obstacle is that the DS only supports WEP for wireless security, which is horrible and can be trivially cracked, whereas routers at a minimum support WPA2. setting up a fully unsecured 2.4ghz network on your router just isn't a good idea

[@TMORAF]

Yeah, it's just the matter to turn of the guest network or whatever else is used the moment you are done, becuase yeah, i'ts insecure in todays standards.@@henryso4

Yep just setup an unsecured guest network. Turn it on while getting the cards, then shut it off right after. Works like a charm

I know its not a wifi or hotspot problem since i removed my home wifi and I tried using just my hotspot without the IP code and it was connected.

How come?

[@armichevieradeniz]

​@Jonqen In the 3DS settings there are numerical codes known as DNS. There are a primary DNS and secondary DNS that can be changed (you can find a list of them on the internet). After you configure them, go to mistery gift to obtain the events. You may have to repeat the process several times because it uses to fail. I got these pokemon: - Shiny Larvitar - Shiny Metagross - Shiny Dialga - Shiny Palkia - Shiny Giratina - Darkrai - Genesect - Meloetta - Victiny (or its event at the lighthouse) - Deoxys - 2 Keldeos (at 50 and 15 levels) - A 100 level Pikachu - Mewtwo - The other legendary Pokémon version - Karrablast - A world champion's Scrafty - Smeargle - Zoroark - Shelmet I might forgot some. It also can be done with 4th generation events, but an old router is needed. I hope I helped you and sorry for my english.

I think as long as you’re not misleading anyone about their origins, all of these Pokémon are legitimate. If Game Freak doesn’t want to give people realistic ways to actually get them by playing the actual video games, then this is what people will resort to. Long before battle passes and FOMO games Pokémon was king of these awful timed exclusive experiences and they’ve never out grown these awful practices.

[@keithpalacios9417]

You're the man! This is what I wanted to hear. They're completely legitimate. All we're doing is traveling back in time. We're not in a lab creating them and adjust their stats. Let's say I get a Shiny Entei in Gold Version through the Virtual Console. I can duplicate it in the PC. It completely passes off as a legit Pokémon. I have an Action Replay, but I've stopped using it. I agree with you again. I see this as 100% legit.
