Making a completely safe Pokemon with Sav/Gen?

Martyrdom219 — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:54:02 GMT

I've looked pretty much everywhere for a code for BW that makes wild Pokes have all 31 IV's so I could catch a perfect breeding Ditto. I've given up now and I just want to know how to use Pokesav or Gen to make one that I can breed without any chance of making bad eggs. Is there a way? Thanks in advance

Tricky Save problem

johs111 — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:16:26 GMT

So i'm playing pokemon platinum on Desmume 0.9.7, and i have been useing the quick save(Alt+ F1) feature all game. My last platinum save didn't go so well so i started all over on this one.

Now that i have beat Cynthia, it was my impression the game would save automatically, yet, when the game has reset, i end up having to load back into my oldest game file, which is significantly crappier as it was a long time ago.

All i have of the old save now is a .ds1 file containing the moment before fading out after beating Cynthia. Suggestions, or is my game lost for good?

C-Gear Skin Editing

Kaphotics — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:24:56 GMT

Intro

Since there isn't any information posted about how the C-Gear is planted within the save file, I might as well just explain how one would edit it. PokeStock is capable of editing the skin, but it's a pretty weird standalone program -- people may want to have their own program (in english) that can edit it. Plus it's good to know how it works!

Background Information

The C-Gear Skin is stored inside the save file as a .psk file ("pok�-skin") after it is downloaded or edited. It's a pretty big portion of the save file, coming in at 9.50 KB of data -- that's around 2% of the entire save file's size. Visualizing it as an actual image is different, the .psk file format is not a .bmp or .jpg, and this is beyond me... PokeStock is able to visualize it and save it as a view-able image, however.

Documentation of Save Structure for C-Gear Skins:

Code:

0x52000-0x545FF 

        Contains the .psk data. 

        Calculate Checksum of this region, call it checksum(1).



0x54603-0x54604

        Contains the checksum of the .psk data.

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(1).



0x1C024-0x1C025 

        This is a Checksum Reference to the .psk checksum. 

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(1).



0x1C02E-0x1C02F

        This is a Region Checksum of the reference checksums, which must be recalculated. 

        Calculate the checksum of the region 0x1C000-0x1C02B, call it checksum(2).

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(2).



0x23F40-0x23F41

        This is a Checksum Reference to the previous reference checksum checksum.

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(2).



0x23F9A-0x23F9B

        This is a Region Checksum of the nearby reference checksums.

        Calculate the checksum of the region 0x23F00-0x23F8B, call it checksum(3).

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(3).

        

0x54700-0x54702

        This is a Checksum Reference to the previous reference checksum checksum.

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(3).



0x54712-0x54713

        This is a Region Checksum of a dword which comprises of checksum(3) and zeroes.

        Calculate the checksum of the region 0x54700-0x54703, call it checksum(4).

        Overwrite the current value with checksum(4).

PokeGen can't edit my pokemon in a White Sav

Eddiescouch — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:06:58 GMT

I've been trying out PokeGen for a few days now, but I've repeatedly had the problem where it can't edit any of the data in my actual pokemon. Now, everything else functions as it should to my knowledge (for example I can create new pokemon and change the arrangement of my boxes) and it can read the data from my save just fine. I don't get any instances of weird data popping up either.

Where I get my problem is here:
I'll go in to edit a pre-existing pokemon, change all the things I need to, save the edits over the previous sav file, but when I go and re-open the sav in PokeGen, or go to play the game, none of the changes took place. I've tried it where I save the individual pokemon with the changes, closed the sav file, opened it again, and then open the .pkm file to set the un-edited pokemon as the edited version. Those changes don't stick either. I've tried both with 'Ignore checksum' checked and unchecked; it doesn't seem to make a difference.

For the record, I'm using an R4 ROM and it is saving as 4 MB. Just to be through, the ROM is White in Japanese.

Comprehensive PokeGen Tutorial for Beginners!

Zappo23 — Sun, 13 May 2012 06:06:35 GMT

Hi all, my name is Zappo23! This is my very first tutorial, a complete guide to PokeGen for beginners.

I tried to answer as many questions as possible with this tutorial, explaining every part with painstaking detail. This is the first tutorial that I'm posting. The reason I chose to make a PokeGen tutorial is that information about how to use it seemed too scattered. So, I decided to make a full-fledged tutorial. In Word, it's 24 pages long :biggrin:.

But luckily for you, I have it here in PDF format hosted by Scribd. Complete with pictures and examples, this tutorial is sure to answer any questions you might have about a particular aspect of PokeGen.

Also, if you read my tutorial and see that something is missing, or that any information is incorrect, please do not hesitate to tell me because I will fix it and update it as soon as possible after such occurrence.

This link will redirect you to Scribd.com, which is a safe and secure, FREE document hosting site. Also, the conversion was kinda bad so the hyperlinks to downloads are THERE, it's just...their lines are ABOVE them instead of beneath them. Basically, every time you see a blue line, click underneath it:biggrin: .

My next tutorial is going to be ShinyGTS. I also noticed about ShinyGTS that solutions to several different types of problems are also scattered around the web, so I am going to make it my personal mission to compile all the information I have learned into one comprehensive tutorial and troubleshooting guide.

I hope you guys enjoy my tutorial!

BW Event - Strongest Pikachu in Singapore

Guested — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:25:17 GMT

The facebook page for Maxsoft, an electronics distributor in South East Asia has posted this blurb for a Pikachu distribution at an Isetan department store in Singapore, during the "Pika Pika Carnival."

The event runs from May 11th to the 20th.

Interestingly, it will be obtainable on Japanese games AS WELL as English games.

It appears to be a repeat of the Strongest Pikachu event, based on the moveset and hold item.

Using downloaded legit TRU Shaymin in online matches?

Raptor2000 — Tue, 08 May 2012 05:38:28 GMT

Just wondering, is it allowed to use any pokemon you downloaded that is legit in an online match? One that isn't hacked, but rather "imported" from a download?
