[quote name='Darkside Hazuki']Reseting the game requires you to hold A, B, X, Y, L, R, Select and Start while powering up the unit.
My previous instructions will allow you to get the special item and message, regardless of what day it is.[/QUOTE]
Actually it is A,B,X,Y, L, and R to reset the game. No need to press select and start.
Plus it actually warns you that your about to delete the data, so no need to be concerned about an unexpected surprise.
