  1. Thanks! So the Jirachi is definitely fine? It's literally been 20 years, so I couldn't be 100% sure if there had been any tampering (I only remember using AR for Rare Candies, Master Balls and the like)
  2. Hi! I have a CHANNEL Jirachi from way back when, in my Colosseum save (circa 2004). As far as I remember, I haven't touched it at all, besides normal gameplay (it has like 3 EVs). However, the latest update (24.03.26) throws a legality error. I'm a bit scared, since, when HOME came out, I cloned most of these (by backing up the saves) and sent them up all the way to HOME, so this Pokémon is now in my HOME account and went through my Sword version. Here are two versions of it: 385 - Jirachi - 62EC2A04C3A5.pk80385 - JIRACHI - 519F2A04C3A5.ck3 Could this be an error? Thanks in advance
  3. Wouldn't this be possible with Bank? Or does Bank update these numbers if you, say, transfer a whole bunch of Pokémon from older games?
  4. Do you have file extensions showing? If so, what's the full name of the file? PKHeX.exe?
  5. Yes, every pre-Gen-7 clone gets a different HOME tracker. I've transferred a few technically cloned mons from Gen 4 (reload old save, transfer again) and I've had zero issues.
  6. @theSLAYER @givrou112 I think we're all missing something obvious here, due to a sort of illusion created by the capitalization in the name: AwanUS → awanus → aw + anus. "Anus" is probably censored.
  7. You could try nicknaming it something very long (so that any trash bytes will be overwritten) and seeing if it still happens. If that does the trick, you'll have a legal Omanyte and you'll have pinpointed the cause with no room for doubt.
  8. You're welcome! Fans did complain. There was a whole "Dexit" scandal (referencing Brexit) when Sword and Shield came out. Technically, this trend started with Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, but those were considered side games, so people found it acceptable. Sword and Shield were the first mainline games to not include the full National Pokédex, and people complained a lot. However, the games still sold well, so Game Freak got the message: "They will complain, but they will buy the games anyway, so the extra work would not pay off". They fixed it somewhat with the DLC (a lot of old Pokémon came back, even if not all of them), and we will probably see the same with Scarlet/Violet and their DLC.
  9. Several problems with that: Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl came after Sword and Shield, not the other way around There are no "incompatible games". Each Pokémon may or may not be compatible with each game. For example: Infernape can be moved into Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus, but not Sword and Shield or Scarlet and Violet, because games since Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee do not include every Pokémon from previous games in their data, like games up to Sun and Moon did. You have to check what species can be transferred into each game.
  10. There's some small print somewhere that states that you can only transfer Pokémon that are compatible with each game. They didn't put in models for all 1010 Pokémon in every game, so you can't just transfer them with a save file.
  11. To use your example: Infernape isn't coded into Sword and Shield at all. So, Pokémon HOME won't let you transfer an Infernape into Sword. Therefore, PKHeX will also not allow you to load an Infernape.pk8 file into a Sword save, since it simply would not work.
  12. That just means it's an incompatible format. If you can save, turn your game completely off and then resume your save, then your battery is not dead.
  13. As far as I can tell, you got a save from somewhere (not your own) and you're trying to write it onto a cart. The format your cart reader uses might not match either the one you got or the one @theSLAYER provided when he fixed the file so it could open in PKHeX. Try playing the game for a bit, saving, confirming it's working (so we know it's not a dead battery, for example) then dumping the save file and sending us the dump. We can then compare it to that save and see if something's wrong
  14. I believe you are correct, yes. It's always best to generate Pokémon in the game they're supposed to come from, but generating them in Gen 7 is the next best thing, precisely because of the HOME tracker, which gets added when importing them from Bank to HOME. As far as I know, there is no server-side Bank data that gets stored when you move a Pokémon from Gen 5 to Gen 6/7.
  15. Pokémon Bank, unlike HOME, does not attach a tracker to Pokémon. So, in theory, a Pokémon that you transfer from Black to X with PKHeX will be entirely legal (even if it's not technically legit, which is understood to mean that it hasn't been touched in any way with any external tool). You can then transfer it from X to Bank to HOME if you have a way to restore that save into a copy of X.
