Ok, so nintendo can make any pokemon and give it away via mystery gift, right? So I was thinking, that there must be some method to this. Theoretically, I or any other person should be able to duplicate the signal from an event, such that the DS would pick it up, and actually give you an event pokemon.
Does anyone here know how they actually make the event pokemon? (from either the gamestop/TRU/Concert kind, or the wireless kind)
I sure do! I've created my own event and actually distributed it to people on the bus one day. It's simply a standard copy of Diamond (or another version) with a Mystery Gift card set to a special "event" mode with distribution enabled. They just leave it active for the whole day. That's why only one person can download it at a time.

Actually, there was a real incident of this at the Pokémon Platinum event in New York earlier this year. A bootleg version of the poster announcing the event was being spread online showing a mysterious giveaway. The original version did not have that text. A person, (ironically enough) posing as a Team Rocket member, was distributing a hacked legendary around the event. Authorities booted him out of the event when they found the signal's source.
