Reverting the Mystery Gift data of a FRLG save file to a blank one

[Soul DS]

Hi, sorry for the odd question, and asking it after a long break.

So, basically, I downloaded and applied the Aurora Ticket mystery gift card present in the Event Gallery of the site on a LeafGreen save file.

After playing later with the game, I changed my mind on the mystery gift, and was wondering if it could be possible to revert the use of the Mystery Gift card, by cancelling its effects, and blanking the data of the event from the save file.

I checked what was possible to edit in PkHex, and it seems the best that can be done just using it is resetting the event flags Received Aurora Ticket from Mystery Gift, Can travel to Birth Island, Visited Birth Island, Don't spawn Mystery Gift guy in Pokémon Center 2F, as well as removing the item Aurora Ticket (didn't caught Deoxys so I don't have to edit its flags).

Still, data from the Mystery Gift card would ultimately remain in the save file, if I'm not mistaken.

Would there be any way to clear it? I know this is an uncommon question, and that as said most of the elements can already be cleared, but I'm wondering it.

I don’t remember if the list exists in Gen 3, but if it does, also delete the mystery gift ID from the received list (I think it doesn’t but can’t be sure)

Just import a different mystery gift wonder card, preferably something that can be received multiple times (to overwrite the Aurora ticket script data), then delete the card in-game.

There doesn't seem to be any option to handle Mystery Gift data in PkHex as far as I can tell in those games (no list, and the only way to manage it is to use a plugin, which only lets you load or export data, and loading empty data wouldn't do much the work from what I can tell).

I checked the event gallery to see if there were other cards to apply to the game, but for my game in my language it doesn't seem to be the case (all of the events are registered only as Pokémon files, or is the Aurora Ticket, so not much to solve the issue).

 

Despite all, this answered my question: I was unaware that the game had a proper menu to manage Mystery Gifts (I play without the wireless adapter attached since I don't need it most of the time, and the Mystery Gift option on the title screen doesn't let you access it just displaying an error if you don't have it attached, so I never thought there was a proper menu there, I thought it was like in Ruby and Sapphire where it just let you connect and nothing else. Found that the adapter was needed by searching thanks to a post you made 4 years ago, so thank you very much for that).

 

Since it's possible to delete the entire data from said menu, and that I already mentioned the extra flags and items that could need to be edited to remove its effects, I think my question is answered. Thank you very much for the help!
