More Information In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, players can enable the Mystery Gift system by correctly filling out a questionnaire available at Poké Marts. Enabling the system allows the player to receive special Mystery Gifts at official Nintendo events. These Mystery Gifts are saved as WC3 files. Enterprising Pokémon players have uploaded the WC3 files available for FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald to the Internet and created tools that allow players to inject these files into their saved games. This allows players to access the additional game areas and other bonus content WC3 files contain without attending a Nintendo event.
