(BW) Can't have two shinies in same PC box?

[Dreamstalker]

Not so much a bug as I was able to fix it, but I couldn't have two shiny pokemon in the same PC box (not sure why it happened).

Originally, I had put a shiny Ditto as well as a shiny Umbreon in the same box (I think it was box 2). First load of that save, Umbreon was shiny but Ditto wasn't (both had legit shiny PIDs).

Check the save file on my computer, re-download and try again. Shiny Ditto/nomal Umbreon.

Rinse, repeat. Now both were normal.

I put the shiny Umbreon in an empty box and it worked.

As I said, not a bug per se but just odd.

Exactly which program are you using to read your save file?

Right now I'm using Pokesav; I do have Pokegen as well though. Normally I use PS just to edit items, but had a brainfart and used it for the pkm as well.

Well, there's your problem.

Try Pokegen and see if you run into any problems like this. If you do, report that, as I bet Codr would be more than happy to bug-squash.

I can go in and make a full party and box of shinies perfectly fine without having the problem of them being changed. Is what I would is after you make the pokemon you want go into PokeCheck. If everything checks out to your liking then use PokeGTS to upload the saved .pkm file and send it over to your DS system. Make sure to also follow the instructions carefully on how to connect to their distrubution servers and the Pokemon Check servers. Hope this helps!
