BeLe Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I noticed the other night that when I was messing around with a Totodile (jap: Waninnoko) that the first character was missing from the name, and it actually ended up showing up in the save file that way. Trying to copy/paste the character in from an external source resulted in "Invalid character" Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm a little skeptical of this. My first thought is that you're looking for something the games don't have themselves. If you could go to www.unicodemap.org and find the character and paste it here, that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 http://www.unicodemap.org/details/0x30EF/index.html ワ Don't have my external harddrives with me so I can't check it in the prog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's in PokeGen. This is probably another case of user error as (almost) always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 BeLe, if you can't find it in the character chart after a second look, try copy-pasting the character from my above post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeLe Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Invalid character. I actually tried pasting it in from google translate before. Apparently Google can translate pokemon names now... Anyway, after messing around trying to get the character to show up correctly a number of times with pokegen, I went and downloaded pokesav since all I needed to do was change the name. After changing it to the correct name with pokesav I opened the save back up in pokegen.. and the Wa shows up as the tiny kana that you use for modifying other kana (i.e.: 0x30ee instead of 0x30ef that's supposed to come up) and pasting in 0x30ef is not working. Interestingly, this only seems to happen when I'm using a Gen 4 save. I haven't tested gen 5 saves, but I noticed that when I open the program without opening a save, I am able to find and use 0x30ef with no problem. but when I open my US SoulSilver save, I'm presented with another charactermap that is missing 0x30ef. It's not user error as it is repeatable, though I'm sorry I should've mentioned that it was happening with a Gen 4 save in my initial post.

Guested Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Hm, he's right. Even direct input from my keyboard results in invalid character. Furthermore, in Gen IV... the character map shows ワ but actually is ヮ once you select it. And it is modifying my Totodile by changing the large one to the small one. The character map has ワ and ヮnext to each other, but the icons in the character map are both the big one. Edited August 8, 2013 by Guested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Further info that may or may not be helpful: I just fired up my HG game and the character is displayed properly on my Totodile in-game. I don't recall the last time I edited that save file with Pokegen, but I know I have at some point. So it seems this problem wasn't present in an old version of the program... but I have no idea how far back. I don't have any older versions on my computer anymore.

Codr Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What's the language of the game you're doing this with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Me? Japanese pokemon in a Japanese ROM/game. Program's language was set to English while I was messing around with stuff, looking for that character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 No, BeLe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandixon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 It really make a difference, but just to make sure, is the bug still there if the program's in Japanese mode? (Wow, an actual bug report in the Bugs forum. That hasn't happened in a while, they've all been "bugs".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeLe Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 English, US English. It appears to happen in both Pokegen's Japanese mode and English mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
