read this: https://projectpokemon.org/forums/announcement.php?f=99

My advise will be for you to compare to pokemon you received from trades.

I will not be following up this discussion any further,

due to the implications that it'll be used to dupe others at competition/tournaments.

The Magikarp and Gyarados added to the event rar, are they repeat events from now or last year's?

contribution for last year's.

The one we previously had was from Powersaves, hence legitimacy unsure.

can this Manaphy WiFi event be SR for a shiny? like in the older games?

Nope. The PID is locked to not generate a shiny.

Also, it isn't an egg, so you can't attempt to trade to obtain a shiny.

Pokémon XYORAS - Mew Event

For those of you in Europe & Australia, a code has been released to give you the Mythical Pokémon, Mew. This is a second chance gift available only if you did not redeem a Mew code earlier this year. The code to obtain the Mew is MEW2016. It's currently unknown for how long this distribution will last

[Majickhat55]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or not as I'm not sure what Gen they WOULD be from.... Anyway, does anyone have any info on the SPORT Hitmon/lee/top? I am assuming they are custom events since I can't find any information online ANYWHERE regarding their distribution. Most I've found are reddit posts claiming to have it.

ID 06119 OT: SPORT

This piqued my interest.

Based on this link: http://z9.invisionfree.com/My_List_Of_Events/ar/t1.htm

I would say it is likely to be Gen III,

However, I'm unable to find any information of this on bulbapedia..

Serebii indicates that no Hitmonlee has been distributed in an event

(assuming we are ignoring Gen I here)

Indicates sport as fan made.

According to Bulbapedia and various other websites the Shiny Mewtwo code only works with Japanese systems, but your list says also PAL. What is the truth?

[Majickhat55]

Yeah, those are the same links I found too. So I'll just say it's a fanmade event like the Kite Jirachi thing.... Thanks for the input

Well the event got postponed anyway but there is both a JPN and EUR distribution of the HKTW Shiny Mewtwo. The Taiwanese one is also in English.

There are 3 Shiny Mewtwo events collected, and one upcoming.

1. Shiny Mewtwo from Japan's Pokescrap event, only for JP units:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Japanese_region_serial_code_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_VI#Mewtwo

2. Shiny Mewtwo from Korea, distributed locally via infrared, therefore can be acquired by any region 3DS

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_local_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_VI#2016_Korean_World_Championship_Series_Mewtwo

3. Shiny Mewtwo for HK and TW, distributed via serial code. Most of TW's serial code can be collected via JP and EU units, and their servers confirm this.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Taiwanese_region_serial_code_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_VI#Nintendo_Hong_Kong_Mewtwo

Btw, Bulbapedia has two instances where above indicates that no.2 and no.3 can be collected on PAL.

But yeah, Ninty's servers (private method, don't ask) has two entries, one VGC Mewtwo for JP, and one VGC Mewtwo for EU (both are the same wondercard),

edit: this is what it looks like on the file list, and look at Goukazaru (TW release of Infernape) if you're unconvinced:

Also, an upcoming shiny unnerve Mewtwo:

4. Shiny Mewtwo for Play! Pokemon VGC event. (EU and US?)

  Quote

For those of you internationally, a new event has been revealed. If you have participated in any Play! Pokémon VGC events, including Regionals, Premier Challenges, Nationals and even the International Challenge Battle Competitions, then you will receive an e-mail for a special Shiny Mewtwo with its Hidden Ability of Unnerve. The code will be distributed via e-mail in late July and the code will expire in August 21st 2016. You need to make sure your account has a valid e-mail by July 10th and that your account is opted into Play! Pokémon events before you participate in any. This Mewtwo matches the one given in Japan and comes with the Mewtwonite Y and is Level 100 with the moves Psystrike, Psychic, Recover & Aura Sphere

EDIT

The reason behind this oddity, it seems that TW console units are actually just imports of JP or EU consoles.

Just like how Australia region 3DS loads EU games (because it's simply EU import)

[edit: I've read there are games that can run as mandarin (here),

which means TW consoles exist. So maybe TW consoles can run JP and TW regioned games?]

Or how my present residence Singapore imports US or JP 3DS,

therefore our serial codes may work for US or JP consoles.

(I'm very clear that our consoles don't run dual region games, but rather we have imports of either US or JP consoles)

[edit: I didn't realize this at the time of posting, but Singapore PCafe Pikachu happens to be in the screenshot above, further elaborating my point]

So far, dual region serial codes only happened for Singapore and Taiwan,

and most serial codes (ignoring PGL type situations) are locked to one region.

Hence, why it is reflected on servers as EU and JP, rather than EU and JP and TW.

(which strongly implies that "TW" region for Pokemon doesn't even exist for this generation, and the game simply loads as EU or JP)

I can download the file straight from the server.

Besides, it was postponed for HK, not for TW, probably why Ninty uploaded it to the server at the first place.

anyway,

In Taiwan, the serial codes will be given away at the Taipei City Mall on June 11, 2016

no problem, always glad to help

[theSLAYER]

That's right folks, preparations has begun.

In June's issue of the Corocoro magazine, it is revealed that a Lv 50 Magearna can be received on Sun&Moon via a QR code distributed during the Japanese Volcanion and the Mechanical Magearna movie.

Presently, I'm assuming that the QR code function may very well replace the serial code function,

but in terms of usage it will probably be akin to the Mystery gift function of Gen VI.

In any case,

I strongly urge all users/contributors to get some form of Custom Firmware for their 3DS as soon as you can (at least menuhax+Luma, at your own risk),

as this is what we'll need:

1. Try to get a hold of the QR code (if it is unique, meaning one time use) if you have a Japanese 3DS or region emulation (cause region lock)

2. Make an NTR boss dump right before collecting the event

3. Make a save dump before and after collecting the event wondercard, and one last dump after collecting the Pokemon in game.

4. Photographs/videos of the process (as we want to see the distribution text and other fun stuff)

This will be the procedures until save editing is possible.

If you do not have CFW on your 3DS, and we don't have the contribution yet, you may wanna loan us the QR code,

so that we can attempt to do a ram dump.

Big thanks to anyone who wants to help this project!

Both NTR and Luma have region emulation, which should normally allow you to receive Japanese events on non-Japanese systems if set to emulate Japanese language.

Just in case someone can somehow get a hold of region-locked Japanese QR codes for events without Japanese 3DSes being the norm in stores around where they live.

Reflected that change to the first post.

While I've haven't discussed on the first post,

I am thinking that wondercard structure will likely be similar to Gen VI,

so WC7full can only be extracted via boss dumps (cause distribution text aren't stored in save) and WC7 can be obtained from WC7full or from save extracts.

question about the korean and japanese trade haunter and scyther the 02014 IDs can u stop them evolving when they was first distributed?

[theSLAYER]

Trade evolutions cannot be stopped.

And given that they weren't holding everstones, nope, definitely can't be stopped.

cheers m8 i was thinking that some wanted to trade me a korean haunter that came from a trade event in south Korea

After the trade, they evolved immediately into Gengar and Scizor, respectively. These Pokémon have three IVs of 31 for three random stats.

Given that the event ended, and the Pokemon evolve upon trade, unlikely that you're getting the real deal.

That's the problem with the trade type events, so hard to find the real deal.

I can't wait for gen7. I'll definitely contribute as much as I can!

I'm wondering...do online events count for the shiny Mewtwo event with Play Pokemon points?

[crazyrazor]

qusestion about the secend JPN Lugia Pokémon Center Pokémon Lugia ID 09075 do ya think it should have the same SID as the 711 Lugia? i just got 2 from trades and ones got SID from 711 lugia and the other got an SID the same as Shiny Jirachi lol

[theSLAYER]

  BlueBraviary said:

I have no solid idea.

I would assume so, as long as you get Play! Points.

I've never really taken part in any Play! events, though it would be a good time to start.

you could take part in the https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/information/00ffbb6f-563e-4963-a86a-6793d0ae094d

It may be possible for the two Lugias to share the SID (since it is a repeat of the same event), but we won't know since never received a wondercard for it.

(think of how the redistributed Hoopa and Mew, but previously received ones stop your from collecting the redistribution)

However it is unlikely for the SID to be the same as a completely different event. (your Lugia and Jirachi issue).

Given that, chances that it is hacked it way too high.

Since SID are based off Wondercard ID, imagine being able to receive a Jirachi and not being able to receive Lugia? doesn't make sense.

The only times that a SID/WC6ID can host different event/Pokemon are when:

1. The receivable Pokemon are split by version.

Examples:

0515, Heracross on X and Pinsir on Y

0504, Magmar on X, Electabuzz on Y

2. Event is repeatable OR lucky draw type of scenario, provided you can get another serial code.

Examples:

0081 Arceus. 19 Different Arceus could be collected, including a shiny variation.

0082 Movie Legendary Pokemon

0132 ~ 0136 Mega Campaign Pokemon

With that in mind, I don't think Lugia and Shiny Jirachi is part of above categories (and I don't think there's a Shiny Jirachi redistribution that coincides with the Lugia)
