Aryan Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I have been away for quite a while and just recently got back into genning and playing my pokemon games. Firstly I'd like to congratulate everyone who were responsible for bringing back projectpokemon!! You guys are awesome. Secondly a big congrats to Kaphotics for his updated version of pkhex!! I love it, its easier than before but i have a few questions before i go on about experimenting and ruining my save.. 1. in the above screenshot you can see event constant.. could someone explain me the role this "custom" option plays for the Tapu pokemon and the starters? lets say i choose custom for starter and choose like 453 number.. what will happen? apparently you can choose anything between 0-65535. 2. Under event flags, as you can see there is a check mark for received gift Cosmog. I never got cosmog.. i have just finished my third trial on the second island i think.. cosmog is still in that girl's bag who keeps getting lost!! so whats the deal with that? 3. Under tools--data--mystery gift database.. what exactly is it? what is a mystery gift database and how do i update it with new mystery gifts? i think this is it for now.. Any help regarding these issues will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and a very happy new year to all of you. cheers Edited January 7, 2017 by Aryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 1. 0-65535 2. Flag descriptions can be misleading if you haven't completed the story. The game turns off certain events so that you don't encounter them until relevant to the story. Unflagging things allows you to re-encounter. 3. A database of event distributions; PKHeX can convert to pkm for you. You can always add to this yourself by creating an "mgdb" folder in the same folder as PKHeX.exe, and put any gift in the folder.

Represents whatever you want to set the event constant value to. Only known states are shown in the dropdown, you're still free to set it to whatever by setting it to custom.

We don't have the full commentated source code directly from GameFreak with insider knowledge on every tidbit of info. Do you expect us to know everything about every generation save file? The option is there for people to use for research/modification without updating the program. If someone finds out that setting constant 51 to 5 causes X to happen, you can do the same by repeating the modification on your own save file with PKHeX. If you can't find a list of what does what and it's not in the source code, then it likely is not researched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didnt mean to offend you or anything, i just thought it was known by people. thanks for the help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryan Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Also another thing that i cant understand is Memories. The pokemon I am catching in Alola they all have the same memories "The Pokémon seems to have a good memory, but it doesn’t seem to be able to remember..." how ever if i am using a pokemon from ORAS or XY.. their memories seem to be intact. why is that?
