date wondercard (5gen)

[Kev-randar]

The pokemon date does not match my game black 2, my game is from 2016, but mentions obtained 2013, perhaps I entered the wondercard wrong?

@Kev-randar for certain generations, the date on the event Pokemon generated is solely based on the date on the wonder card.
(and the date on the wonder card is based on the date of the NDS/3DS during receiving of the wonder card)

[Kev-randar]

then it should not be modified?

can be modified via PKHeX.

[Kev-randar]

but would it be legal?

[Sabresite]

Both the NDS and 3DS can be set to any date you want. So any date is legal.

[Kev-randar]

ok.

[theSLAYER]

Yup.

It'll look suspicious, but it'll be legal

Sorry for reviving this very old threat, I came across it while googling about wondercard dates.

 

Aren't the Pokemon illegal if you don't edit the date received? What I mean is, the IVs and the nature are tied to the seed, which is generated off of the date you booted the game. So if you inject, for example, the Meloetta that OP posted about, then it cannot possibly have the IVs of a different date, no? Or could you, back then, get the wondercard (which then has the old date you received it on as part of the Pokemon FOREVER) but reboot your game and reset for one you want? Are the Pokemon's IVs and nature generated off of the receiving of the wc, or will they adjust to your boot date?

You could boot the NDS on one date, but only boot the game in another date.
Anyhow, to my understanding the data will be sufficiently random.

Yeah, in Gen 5, if I recall correctly, the mon's acquired date isn't the same date as the wonder card acquired date.

It is, that's why I got curious, and I assume that's also why the original poster made this thread 'cause they had the same issue. But I reckon you COULD have downloaded the wondercard on date X but then received the Pokemon in game whenever, which would tie a different seed to it regardless?

[theSLAYER]

I don't think it's an issue.
