How this works:

Golden Sun runs with a pesudo-random number generator . This generates a number based on recent variables. Using the above methods creates a set of variables that will cause the item to drop. If the gameboy advance ran on a quantum computer, the number could be made truely random. If you are interested on this topic there are some very good books about it. I'd recomend A Shortcut Through Time.
