Codr Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 the AR codes work, but not the PokeGen codes Post a few examples of codes that do work and are lengthy.
oifik Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I honestly doubt that it's a hardware related problem when pretty much everyone that replied to this thread, including me, is experiencing this unfortunate issue. My DSi is fine, my ARDSi is less than a year old, has no trouble loading Heart Gold/Soul Silver Pokégen codes etc. Despite me being very fond of the program's user-friendly UI. I honestly think it's Pokégen itself. The thing is, I don't want to jeapordize my DS by booting the game several times with slightly editted things in Pokégen.

Nobody is saying that the hardware is malfunctioning. I'm saying the hardware is badly designed.
oifik Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Even then, how can some people get it to work, and some don't?
Codr Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Even then, how can some people get it to work, and some don't? The people that're getting it to work are using less codes... and clearly saying so.
zeifer25 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I know that all of the codes for my Pokemon White are working with my Action Replay DSi. To have them all work, 100% of the time, I had to do the following: 1) Update the firmware of the AR Cartridge to v1.25 2) When using the PokeGen codes, ONLY use the PokeGen codes by themselves. Using them at the same time with the Code Junkies codes tended to throw some errors / white screens at me. 3) When generating the codes, I found it more effective to generate a code for each individual Pokemon and save them separately into the AR Code list. Then, when I go to activate the codes, I only activate 2 at a time. By following these rules, I haven't had any problems with the codes that were not of "human error". I hope this helps anyone.
oifik Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 So, any idea what to do for the time being? I mean; Is this a unsolvable issue or..?
zeifer25 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 So, any idea what to do for the time being? I mean; Is this a unsolvable issue or..? It's like what codr said - there's nothing wrong with PokeGen, or the Code Junkies codes. The problem arises when you try to use too much code all at once, and the hardware just can't take it. Until the makers of Action Replay comes out with a brand-new AR device that solves this issue - the only thing you can do is - use less codes at a time.
oifik Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Hmm alright, do you think that R4 will work fine with these codes? I mean; I've seen tons of Wi-Fi battles on YT of people who're clearly using Sav'd/Gen'd pokemon.
zeifer25 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I don't knkow. I've only used the retail cartridges.
ace10301 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 (I've read SO MUCH about pokegen today I'm not going to bother rereading all of these, please don't ban me mods) Problem I was having was that my codes wouldn't work, BUT i figured out my secret ID (thank god that took forever) and now pokegen is working just fine, just make sure you have your ID, SID and Name all put in correctly.

But if you do this than I don't think you can be able to make your Pokemon shiny..
ace10301 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Not true, the one pokemon i tried it with was shiny.
ace10301 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 However I am having problems again, the only pokemon it worked with was the first one I tried.
ace10301 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Also, just figured this out... Only works with 5th gen pokemon? first time with haxorus worked, second time with jolteon did not work third time with Samurott worked. This sucks, the whole reason i want pokegen is so that I can use non 5th gen pokemon easier.....
snakes on a wii Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I am having this same problem. Using Pokemon Black with updated AR firmware on the DS Lite I tried earlier today with a single pokemon, Aerodactyl with no held items and it worked just fine Trying now with 7 pokemon I can't get it to work, with or without held items, and even when I only try one pokemon per code at a time. The only other changes I made besides the species of the pokemon were where it was from ("Faraway Place").
ace10301 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Try to make the origin of the pokemon a realistic place. Like charizard have it be fire red. not black/white.(idk just tried with charizard did fire red and it worked lol)
snakes on a wii Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I finally managed to make it work. When I used export and dragged the xml directly into the AR it caused problems. Instead I just generated the codes and manually entered them using the "add new code" option, and then dragged the codes over, and it all worked under the usual caveats (no more than two pokemon at a time, etc).
ace10301 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Now this is just stupid, it worked with the pokemon, I changed the item, now it doesn't work. wth!
darklink502 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I'm having the same issue. I tried with 6 pokemon, nothing. Tried with three, nothing. Tried with one, nothing. Tried with pokedex, nothing. Tried without, nothing. Tried resetting my action replay (backed it up first) nothing. My ar dsi is v 1.25, and I fluked it off once, and I think it was by NOT updating the pokedex and just loading one pokemon, nothing fancy, but I think I narrowed it down to the pokedex. I think it's something to do with the pokedex codes, though it doesn't work without it either. The weird thing is that before I screwed up my ar (pulled it out too quick, and I'm talking about a different ar dsi) it all worked perfectly. The only thing I'm doing differently is trying to make the game think I caught the pokemon by making the ID, Secret ID, and OT all the same as mine. I haven't tried without yet, but if it works that way, it's the complete opposite of what I want! I would have 24 boxes of pokemon that don't listen to me! I need this issue resolved as soon as possible.
Butterfree 1967 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Hey guys, I am trying to use pokegen to generate codes for wondercards for the various events, since I want to RNG these events flawless. problem is, none of the codes are working for me at all! I have many other codes on the AR that work fine for my White cart, so I am really perplexed on this. I have tried all the joker triggers, and none of them seem to activate the code. Here is a copy of the code for one of the Wondercards Pokegen Generated, maybe I did something wrong, you tell me please! 94000130 FFFC0000 02024A50 FACEF3D6 E23FAFF0 00000030 4808B5F9 F40F2101 4807FA89 22CC4907 ED52F487 21014803 FA56F40F 22002128 0000BDF9 0001D0BC 023FB020 0001D1BC E23FB020 000000CC 00002EFF 00000000 00000000 00100400 022D0224 022F022E 01EE0221 FFFF0000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 000002FF 9C850000 00000032 FF000000 FFFFFFFF 004D00FF 0076006F 00650069 00340031 3203FFFF 00000000 00690056 00740072 006F0075 006F0073 00560020 00630069 00690074 0069006E FFFF0021 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 0000FFFF 07DB0C03 01440020 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 D2000000 00000000 Thanks for any help
Codr Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 problem is, none of the codes are working for me at all! I guarantee you didn't read the questions and answers thread in the PokeGen section.
Butterfree 1967 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I guarantee you didn't read the questions and answers thread in the PokeGen section. then you would be very very wrong, I'm not an idiot. when doing it the way you suggest with the menu, the menu never pops up, the screen goes black and my game freezes. I was worried it would mess up my sav file in some way since I have all my RNGs on my retail cart, so I just shut it off. I can't afford to lose all I've done in 400 hours of gameplay. and yes, I have the firmware upgrade on my ds, and all the settings on gen were correct as well. never had this problem with an AR code before, that's why I asked for the help Thanks for the help though.....
