Question about the legality of Gen 2 Celebi

[Asia81]

Just to know why it's only legal when the save is named sav.dat and not any other name, as PokemonCrystal.sav?

If it's legal for one, it should be for the other one, no?

I know it's because the event got only released on virtual console versions and they use the sav.dat name, but meh, as I said, it's a legal celebi in both case, if it just depend of the save's name, the pk2 file doesn't differ.

Could you add a legality check that doesn't depend on the save's name?

The same pk2 file got imported into both savegame

".dat" is the save file name from Virtual Console savefiles.

".sav" is from any other source, like an emulator.

 

The only way you can get the Crystal Celebi outside of a Japanese game is on a Virtual Console game.

PKHeX uses the savefile extension to determine where the save file came from (gameboy cart/emulator, or 3DS Virtual Console).

PKHeX doesn't have the data for them. Only a few event Pokemon have been serialized for Gen 2, the others would have to be added to this list https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX.EncounterSlotDumper/blob/master/Resources/gen2/event2.csv

will PKHeX get updated so we can use the event pokemon?

Feel free to update Bulbapedia or submit a pull request to the above repository when you've fully researched any events you feel are missing and noteworthy enough to be included.

I think Bulbapedia has all the information already, I made one a couple months ago but nothing
would be cool if someone with more experience could edit PKHeX to add all of these missing event Pokemon!
