Cyborg Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have a pretty simple (probably stupid) question which I've been unable to find the answer to thus far. If I randomly generated two numbers from 0 to 65535, would they always work as a legal ID/SID pair? Could any combination of two numbers between 0 and 65535 be legit? I've been making some G3 Pokémon in PKHeX recently, and I randomly generated numbers for the ID and SID of their OTs. But I'm worried that, since I don't know what the RNG process is for those numbers in the actual games, the pairs I've generated might not actually be possible in-game. If need be, I'd be fine using ROMs of the games to get for-sure legit IDs and SIDs. But I'd prefer not to, if it's not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the TID and SID could reasonably be between 0 and 65535, most likely all of the numbers you have generated could be legitimate combinations.

Sabresite Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 The TID and SID are generated separately and depending on how long you take to press A at the end the prologue will determine your SID. You can have any combination. I am not sure if there are checks to prevent 0 or 65535 from being possible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
