========================
JIRACHI (PAL VERSION ONLY!)
========================
Q: Oh, okay. Do I get anything special from this?
A: Jirachi (PAL).
Q: How do I get Jirachi (PAL)?
A: Get the Starlight Projector on the sixth day and go to Camp Starlight. After that go to Options on the main menu, choose Jirachi and follow Oak's instructions.
Q: What do I need to download Jirachi (PAL)?
A: You will need a GCN-GBA link cable, a GBA, and either Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. This download is not compatible with FireRed/LeafGreen due to how Hall Of Fame data is saved.
Q: What is Jirachi's info?
A: Trainer - CHANNEL
ID No - (Depends on game)
Met in a fateful encounter at level 5.
Q: Depends on game. What do you mean?
A: Each game has a preset trainer ID for Jirachi, so if you get one from one Channel and another one from a different version of Channel, they will have different ID Nos.
Q: Can you get more than one Jirachi per cart?
A: Yes, but you will need to restart on that cart and beat the Elite Four once again.
Q: What berries can Jirachi hold?
A: So far, I have seen Galon, Salac & Liechi berries attached to ones that have come from my Channel.
Q: Can Jirachi be shiny?
A: Yes. My friend got a shiny Jirachi from my Channel. Grrr.
Q: Do I have to complete Channel every time I want a Jirachi? (cxoa)
A: Nope, just save it as complete and then as long as your cart has beaten the Elite Four and the Trainer ID hasn't had Jirachi before, then download away.
Q: Is the number of Jirachi's limited? (cxoa)
A: See above answer.
Q: Can I nickname Jirachi?
A: No, as it counts as a traded Pokémon.
Q: Can I come into the topic, disregard the first post, and ask about getting Jirachi on a non-PAL version?
A: No. I will have to cause you pain.
=========
WEATHER
=========
Q: How can I change the weather?
A: Slowpoke will change it for you on the Weather Channel.

=================
GETTING 1,499 POKéMON
===================
Q: How do I obtain so many Pokémon?!
A: Obtaining 100 should be an easy task, but I'll give some help on gaining more.
1. Magikarp Breeding
Get a Magikarp/Gyarados from another game and breed it with a b]/Gyarados of yours. If you have Emerald, get a Pokémon with Magma Armor/Flame Body. Then the eventual eggs, which occur at the fastest rate possible, will hatch in around 600 steps. You can gain a large amount of Pokémon this way to shove onto Box.
2. Safari Zone Crazyness
If you're rich, hit up the Safari Zone and throw Safari balls at everything until your boxes are full, transfer and do it all again.
==============
ANYTHING ELSE
==============
I cannot think of anything else to add, but this is a new part of my FAQ to hopefully stop multiple 'zOMG. WTF DO I GET teh SURf'N pIcHU?' threads, so if you want me to add something, please, by all means, say.
