As it turns out, though, you can't delete the RangerNet data in Pokemon Ranger. That means that you can only play the Manaphy mission once per game card, which effectively means that there are a limited number of Manaphy eggs in existence. Well, that's actually true with any game itself: Even with something as revolutionary as Ebay making lots of old games more accessible than ever, there can only be so many physical copies of any game ever created. Furthermore, I also understand that in Japan, there was only a limited time that the Manaphy mission could even be downloaded, so we in America actually have it better here.
Apparently, though, Manaphy's egg cannot be downloaded to Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver, even though it can be downloaded to Platinum. Furthermore, since it's possible to find and revive fossils in HGSS, that means that I can keep some spare fossils to trade onto Diamond in exchange for its Manaphy egg, Arceus, and Pichu. Perfect!
So anyway, I went onto Ebay last night looking for more copies of Pokemon Ranger, asked around to see which copies had their egg distributed, and came across someone who was hosting Dutch auctions for Manaphy's egg and other event Pokemon. I actually had seen those before, but didn't actually believe that they were legitimate as the sellers claimed they were. The screenshots, however, do suggest that they are, what with the reference to where they were claimed from. Furthermore, each of these costs hardly more than a dollar, so even with such a tight budget as I have, this is too good a deal to pass up since I've got lots of Pokemon in Diamond that I'm going to get rid of anyway. These will all be kept on Diamond, and then traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver in exchange for as many spare fossil Pokemon as I have, and then some of my regular Pokemon.
Anyway, back to Manaphy and Pokemon Ranger... Yeah, I'm also gonna buy three more copies of Ranger. One Manaphy egg will be transferred to Pokemon Pearl to be traded for something on the second HGSS game that I play, one will be transferred to Platinum, and the remaining one will go to Diamond once I start over with that one.
