Guide: How to generate Gen V Pokémon in PokéGen

[Codr]

I noticed when you leave the nickname blank, Pokegen automatically puts in <Pokemon Name>\FFFF\0000\0000..... without putting in a \FFFF at the end. Is this intentional or a bug in the program?

It's intentional. The games don't care about what exists after the first \FFFF.

Yeah. Noticed that. Thanks!

Alright, so for trainer information if it was being "Poketransferred" from Generation IV should be.......?

Sorry if it's been gone over. I didn't want to read through every single answer ^^'

Hello this guide has really helped me make my Pokemon seem legitimate. But I'm having one problem, that being the nickname. I've entered the name as 'Sceptile' (It's a bred one hatched in Gen 5) but when I place it on Pokecheck it says: Sceptile\xFFFF\x0000\x0000
All characters in name are valid.
Invalid terminator sequence in trash bytes.
How do I fix this?
The link to the Sceptile is here: http://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=840722

First post, see "Escape Sequence".

For the escape sequence after names:
Is this a Gen V exclusive function or was this present in Gens III and IV, as well?

Spoiler

Oh, and hi. It's been awhile, guys.

[ReignOfComputer]

It's a Gen V thing.

Just for clarification:
If I were to make a Chansey originally from Gen III, her name would be "Chansey" and not "Chansey\FFFF\0000\0000\FFFF"?

technically you should make a gen IV file and run it through trashbytes.exe and then poketransfer.exe

Hi guys thanks a lot! this guide helped me a lot but just 1 thing, when i take a pokemon to te legality checker it always crashes =/ why is it?

[ReignOfComputer]

Use PokeCheck. Not Legal.exe.
