OR/AS and PkHex. National dex flag? How to?

[drygin]

Hi guys! I have a pretty simple question for you.

I've used save editors from time to time in the past, but I just recently got a new 3ds and started AS on it. As I wanted a challenge, I decided to try one of those expanded hacks (Star Shappire) which have good reputation. However, I've found a problem, and it's that you are not given the National Dex at the start, which leads to non-Hoenn pokemon not being identified. (???)

I specifically remember using other save editors which allowed you to change key events and, specifically, the pokedex setting (Standard-National). However, I can't find that option in PkHex.

How is it exactly done here? I just want to set my dex to national so entries show up.

Thanks for your help.

(I hope it doesn't show up twice now):

 You can enable the national pokedex on the "main" save file using a hex editor by setting the value in the offset 0001 5004 from 00 to 01 (hex). Then you have to open the save with pkhex and save it again so that the checksum is recalculated. I actually could give you a pkhex patch for that or even a compiled executable if you want, but I would have to see how I could do it (well, the patch, compiled executables would not be legal to give out unless I also have the patch ...), so I would only do that if you want.

from what im seeing there is no offset "0001 5004"...... im using HxD

I think they meant the address/offset 0x15004. (you can see the leading zeroes matches what is shown in HxD)

Tho I'm not entirely convinced the information is right, cause the value I have there is neither 00 nor 01

Give it a try: change it to either 01 or C1 (as I'm pretty sure I already have the national dex), then use PKHeX to fix the checksums.

[redboy50]

what do i change the 01 or C1 to?

 

nevermind it worked! thanks alot!

for curiosity and future readers' sake, which value did you use?

[redboy50]

eh, it wasn't necessary to copy that entire line; you probably changed some other flag as well.

Well at least we know what you've done, and future readers can also refer to that

You only need to edit one byte, but instead you changed the whole row, lol

plus I don’t even know what your original row looked like. For all I know, your whole row was different from mine.

[redboy50]

the other problem is that the pokenav exclusive pokemon are not spawning

 

Here's the original

Pokénav hidden Pokémon require Kyogre/Groudon to be defeated/captured, independently of National dex.

@ Contributor where do i find the offset to that?

try this, see if it works?

[Guest]

It might also be necessary to set flags in Box Layout, there is one that gets set when you defeat/capture Kyogre/Groudon, which unlocks an extra box in the PC, but there's always a possibility that the game also checks this flag to decide whether or not dexnav hidden Pokémon appear, who knows.

[redboy50]

well that didn't work

 

well the box flags has nothing to do with it

@redboy50 please stop multi-posting. If your post is the latest post, and you're not getting any replies, and you have new information,
you can just edit it into your latest post.

Now, probably another flag is set after you catch em (catch em in-game), unrelated to those flags.

[pworld]

Well, probably there are other values possible for that offset too. So I suspect it is rather "set the least significant bit to 1" than setting the whole byte to 1. Sorry, I just basically compared a save file from before I got the national dex to afterwards and there I only had 0 or 1.

I also don't know anything for the DexNav. I only wanted this flag so I could make/play a Romhack with having pokedex entries for each Pokemon I catched.

How do I access this data? not sure where to even find it.

Update: Attempted to do this using HxD. All it did was corrupt my save data.

Final update: Realized my mistake. Didn't fix the checksums. Tried again, did it right, and it all worked. Thank you, and apologies for being daft.
