*bump*This topic goes back to the top, since I did some research today which perhaps can help answer some of the questions here. I stuffed my Pack full with all the 90% items, then all the 7,4% items that were left (and which I could stuff into my Pack, excluding Dolls and such). I then went to MG with Carrie. If the things we have assumed here are correct, that you only recieve an item not in your pack, then I would recieve a rare doll, or an Eon Mail or Ether since I didn't have an Eon mail in my Pack. Beep... Carrie sent Dire Hit! WTF! I checked the list, and I had forgotten to add a Dire Hit in my Pack...  I'll Gift with her again tomorrow... If I recieve another Dire Hit then, we can be pretty sure that S2 first decides upon a category, then checks all the items in that category to see if they are in the pack, then chooses the one item currently not in pack. I wonder, however, if my odds of getting a rare thing would increase if I stuff my pack with *all* the common items, then Gift with her... That would probably force S2 to choose items from a different category! We may have something here! Finally, a question to Meowth346, about the Unown doll. How rare is it? Is it a small doll, or a big one?

Bad news (and good news too)...I crammed my pack full with alll the 90% items (this time I didn't forget Dire Hit), then changed the day using the time resetting password. I then MG:ed with the Stadium Slut (as she appearantly is called on the Internet :P), and got... Dire Hit again! WTF!!!11!!1 I checked my Pack after I recieved the gift, and yes, I now had 2 Dire Hits instead of 1... I changed the day a few more times, and I always got items I already had (X Defend, Ice Berry, X Attack, then I got pissed and turned the N64 off ). So I can now say (pretty sure) that for 90% common pack items, it doesn't matter if they're in your pack or not. I didn't get Eon Mail either, which was what I thought I was going to get... So that's the bad news... The good news, OTOH, is that Stadium doesn't "know" if you've changed your time or not. I changed from Friday to Saturday, then Sunday, then back to Friday, thinking "It'll not work now", but it did work! So a not-so-noble trainer can change the time settings as many times as he wish, to get 10's or 100's of gifts in a day (I think, I only tried this four times, plus the gift I took earlier, which makes five times total). At least you don't have to wait a whole day until you can MG again...

I have an idea too.Let's say "this" is how Mystery Gifting works. (beep) Random Number is generated to see which class of items you receive (common/uncommon/rare/super rare) Let's say you get Common. The Computer Scans your pack to see if there is an item from common YOU DONT already have. Like, if you always wanted Dire Hits, have all the common items EXCEPT Dire Hit. Then each time you get a common item from her, it will be dire hit. Of course, once you get the new dire hit you'll have to stick it in your PC and not your pak. My other idea is that the having all the common items in your pak only works well if you dont have all the common dolls. (beep) Hmmm, has all common items, let's give common doll. Common doll sent. But, if you have ALL the common items in your pak and already have all the common dolls, my guess is that it just picks a common item anyway. - - - - - "H2O is hot water and CO2 is cold water"

I remember someone had an idea that the time you have played the game affects your gifts...I have suspected that too, since sometimes when my brother had played a lot and I had played nothing, he got berries and I got the good stuff  Yesterday I went to one of my basement-held unofficial tourneys and MG:d with a couple of kids. I got Eon Mail, and Diglett Doll. Wait a minute... No, this has nothing to do with playtime! When I MG:d, I had all the common items in my pack, except for Eon Mail (Which I receieved!), and I didn't have the Diglett Doll either. So, maybe it works the oppposite way: The GB doesn't give you thing you have in your pack, but S2 does! Or, maybe I was just lucky... But the fact that I got Berries from S2 that day (once at home, once at the tourney), then the two uncommon items I lacked when MG:ing with trainers makes this a little more interesting.
