When saving a pkm file in pokegen...

[ASoFD]

...what's the difference between a "Pokemon file" and an "encrypted Pokemon file"?

[ASoFD]

And on an unrelated note, I've noticed a certain inconsistency when viewing the same pkm file in pokesav and in pokegen.

For example, I have a pkm file of a modest Celebi that when opened in pokesav, indeed says that it is modest. However, when I load the same pkm file into pokegen it says the Celebi is Hardy.

Encrypted is... encrypted data... I don't know what else to say.

Pokesav may not even be using the new value for abilities, which would explain the discrepancy.

[ASoFD]

Well I understand the situational necessity to differentiate between saving as 136- and 236-byte, but when and why would we ever need to encrypt it?

[Codr]

It was trivial to include, so I did. It doesn't have to have more of a purpose behind it than that.

I found that if I manually input the 41h value (or whatever the new nature hex value is) in PokeSav Black/White I can then load the .sav into PokeGen and it'll recognise the nature. Either way it's nothing to worry about.
