[Gen8] Question about memories

[PrinzHami]

Hey lads.

Some of my Pokemon, traded, have the following OT memory:


"Pikachu sems to have a fond memory, but it doesn't seem to remember the details."

After that, the notOT memory kicks in.

So, some people say this Pokemon is hacked, is that true ?

Also I would like to understand this memory, when does it occure and why ? it is very hard for me to understand the memory mechanic .

Thanks for your help <3

It’s hard to imagine any mon (OT side) not having any memory at all.

ill do a few checks later

[PrinzHami]

Thanks that would be awesome

While I can't find any mons of my own that have no OT memory, I got a few hatched then traded mpns that have no OT memory.

So it is possible for hatched Pokemon to hve no memory if they get traaded away imediatly ?

Probably, cause a few of my Pokémon (such as Snorlax) has memories from the box.

It apparently doesn't need to be traded immediately. Some of the evolved mons I have are traded and hatched lol

Interesting, do we have a Databank in here to look why this is the case ? Or a guide to look at how the memory mechanic works ?

Not that I have any of those things that you mentioned, but it's probably implemented into PKHeX, since it's not flagging any of them illegal.

But it should be illegal on catched pokemon, shouldnt it ? I tried to get the memory on wild pokemon but they get another OT memory instantly

can't say for sure. it's probably assigned a memory, then when traded OT memory is wiped and non OT gets memory instead.

What I wanna know is if there's any traded mons with both sets of memories.
