Pokegen Traded Pokemon

[Loos]

I'm a bit new to Pokegen, but I think I've got most of it down okay. The only problem I'm having is making all of my pokemon seem legit. All of my pokemon are from Black Version, and I'm playing Black Version, so I just input where I would normally encounter then in game with the correct levels for the areas, etc.

However, when I make a Braviary, I have to set the Origin to White since it can only be caught in white Version. So, I have to make it seem like I traded it. I set the ID and SID and OT stuff to numbers and a name that didn't match mine, and I read in a post here on these forums that you just leave the encounter and location thing blank because "there is no set encounter for traded pokemon."

And when I load the game, it says I "Apparently met" my Braviary at "-----------." Which, of course, is fake.

So, my question is, how do I set up the location and encounter boxes to make it look like I obtained it through a legit trade after a trainer actually caught it in a White Version? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Also, I left the PID box blank on all the pokemon since they are all GEN 5 and I read that you were supposed to leave them blank for GEN 5. However, when I tried using them with the legal checker program that opens in CMD, it crashes it. Am I supposed to fill in the PID box for fifth gen? And if so, which letter method do I use (the pokegen says that the first one, A-B-C-D, is used for fourth gen pokemon)?

fails upon fails

legal.exe is 4th gen only. Gen 5 PKMs DO NOT WORK.

You have to put the location to wherever braviary/rufflet can be caught at, and put the encounter back to what it was default (egg) because it isn't used in gen 5.

Thank you very much for replying.

First, I'd like to thank you once more, this time for immediately pointing out my horrible fails. We all need to know when we've failed, else we'll have a harder time succeeding, right? Right.

Secondly, I was not aware legal.exe was only for fourth gen. Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure a simple google search would have told me the same thing, but I didn't search google for that. Another fail? I'll add it to the list.

Third, I just followed your instructions, but I'm afraid there's still the same porblem. I'm playing Black version, and I have to set the origin to White since Braviary and its prevolution can only be found in white. I didn't think what you said would work at first, but I tried it anyway, giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you knew far more than I did on the matter. I set the location met to route 10 since Ruffet can be caught there in Pokemon White. I saved the AR code, loaded the game, and activated the code. Braviary was in my party. But, my fears were proved correct when I examined him. Now, instead of me having "apparently met" him at "-----------," I have instead "apparently met" him at "route 10." I am almost certain that if you recieve a pokemon in Black from a trade from White, it will not say you "apparently met" the pokemon anywhere.

But perhaps I'm being hasty. Maybe you were simply so awestruck by my immense list of fails and your need to correct me on them that you did not read the nature of my problem in the first place. But that is alright. I will say it again just for you.

I am using Pokegen to add a Braviary to my pokemon team. I am currently playing Pokemon Black Version for the DS and as I'm sure you're aware the pokemon Braviary and his prevolution can ONLY be caught in Pokemon White Version. That being said, my question is simple: how do I use Pokegen to make a Braviary in Pokemon Black seem as if I recieved it in a trade from a player who caught it in Pokemon White?

apparently ==> not your pokemon == not your IDs

There's also a Link Trade met location.

EDIT: Oh. So since it says I apparently met the Braviary at level 34, it means it was caught then at route 10, but since then it has been traded?

Huh. You'd think Nintendo would have a location thing for that. Like "Met in a trade" or something.

Also, I think the Link Trade option is used for something else, not regular traded pokemon.

And thanks for the help.

You could make it hatched, simply set the location as "DayCare Couple", and put something random for the hatch conditions location. (Use common sense though.), set the met at level to 1, and make sure the date iin hatch conditions is either on or after the date for date met, or if you're making it an egg make sure you check the Matching Trainer Information box.

To make a Pokémon appear like it was obtained in a trade it needs to have the "Link Trade" encounter location, rather than Route 10, or whatever. If a Pokémon is traded it loses its physical encounter location and gains the Link Trade location. Also, for ALL Gen 5 Pokémon, the "Encounter" drop down list is ALWAYS set to Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey Tree/Shaymin. Don't ask why, it just seems to be the way the game works.

If you want it to have your OT, you still can, because eggs can be traded too. So give it your OT, set its encounter location to Link Trade, its Encounter status to Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey Tree/Shaymin and check the "As Egg" box, and then choose any Route from Pokémon Black as its hatch location. You shouldn't have to do anything else - the date doesn't have to be changed because it should automatically change itself to today's date, which is totally plausible.

Another thing to note is that if you're giving a Pokémon its Dream World ability, then you need to add 1 extra byte to the (0x42) option under the OT/Misc tab.

Rather than using legal.exe, I would recommend temporarily making Braviary level 50 (if it isn't above level 50 already) and putting it along with at least 2 other Pokémon in your party (all of which must be over level 50, non-legends and obtained legitimately, just to be safe) and try to go into the Random Matchup server. If a Pokémon is viewed as illegal by that system, it will say "There was a problem with your Pokémon and they could not participate", and kick you out of the server. Nothing will happen to your Pokémon but this is an easy way to check if the game considers it legal or not.

Hope this helps and don't hesitate to PM me if you continue to have problems.

Oh and also, forgot to add that if you're telling the game you received the Braviary in an egg and hatched it yourself, you need to say you encountered it at level 1. But that's just common sense.
