I wonder if the DVs are fixed or randomly generated when they were given out.

probably random.

Pokemon Stamp Complete Info

Rapidash Lv 40

ID: 00001-00020 (Based on low amount of distributed Pokemon from the Stamp Giveaways of Gen 3 and the fact that most magazines give away very low amounts of pokemon anyways. Its also worth noting that Shogakukan also hosted this event as well. Their Magikarp only had 20 distributions.)

OT: スタンプ (Stamp)

Moves: Pay Day

Fearow Lv 40

ID: 00001-00020 (Read Rapidash's ID)

OT: スタンプ (Stamp)

Moves: Pay Day

"This Pichu was distributed to players who entered in a contest inside the October–December 2003 issue of the Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire stamp Contests & Gym Leader sheet (Japanese: ポケモンスタンプ ルビー＆サファイア コンテスト＆ジムリーダーシート) magazine. A total of 50 players were selected." -Bulbapedia

The above quote was taken from Bulbapedia on the Stamp Distributions of 2003. "contest inside the October–December 2003 issue of the Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire stamp Contests & Gym Leader sheet" Guess who published that? Shogakukan.

I am certain (93%) that these are the details for the University Magikarp

Level: 5

ID 00001-00020

OT: タマムシ

Attacks: Dragon Rage

タマムシ is Celadon in Japanese and the "University" that the event is based off of happens to be in Celadon City (Anime)

There is a 5 letter character limit in the original games so this meets that criteria. All of the symbols in タマムシ are in the original games as well.

タマムシ大学 is Celadon University but that is 6 characters and the last 2 characters dont exist in the games.

The characters for Shogakukan, the company that showed the event in their magazines, dont exist in the game either.

I had (English) gen 1 save files as recently as last year, during the Pokemon Go craze that still had working batteries. I think gen 1 lasts a lot longer than gen 2. There's also Pokemon Stadium backups and we've also managed to back up and preserve a few of our saves. It still boggles my mind how we haven't found any Japanese collectors with info and nobody seems to know any Japanese fan sites. I had a Japanese friend on Serebii last year and I'm pretty sure he mentioned they had sites that were better or similar to Serebii and Bulbapedia. 

I doubt their sites have any info on this Magikarp. We are lucky to know the details for the Legendary Pokemon Offer Mew 1st and 2nd distributions.

Are there not any current Japanese Pokemon communities like PPorg or Bulbapedia? Do we not know any collectors in Japan who might be able to help?

See, here is the problem, most of the people that got this pokemon are probably old and have sold their pokemon games. In addition, the save batteries dry out and the save is deleted. Due to the dist size of 20, most, if not all, of their cart's save files are gone forever.

What do you guys mean by Incremented ID's?

When an event has a small distribution size they would usually increment the IDs between 2 numbers. Lets say there were 80 mew distributed. If i was the 60th person to get a mew my mew's ID would be 00060

For the University Magikarp, I believe it to be likely that its ID was incremented, as only 20 were distributed. For the OT there is a chance that it could either be named 大学 (University) or what Shogakukan is in japanese.

Thank you so much! Your information is invaluable to my research! Thank you!

Im very excited for this! I have the british VC RBY mew!

Have you checked bulbapedia? ><

yes. however, the information on it wasnt of very much use. It didnt really give any info on ID/OT.

So I understand that not much is known about the generation 1 japanese event pokemon. But still if you have information on ANY of the japanese gen 1 event pokemon please reply what you know about them below such as IDs, OTs, moves, etc.
