Gh0str1d3r Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I want to change the trainer name in Pokemon Black 2 and I managed it by inserting a code using Action Replay DS. I got it working by editing a pre-existing code, but I got question-marks in the empty name-spaces, for example: Name??? I want to fix by generating a new code using Pokesav for Pokemon Black (2) and White (2). Unfortunately I can't find the program anywhere. Can someone help me out? Pokegen and PKHeX are unable to edit the trainer itsel. Also here are video's for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGrnFzCUZqE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRtCNgxVDkk Thanks in advance!

Gh0str1d3r Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 I want to change the trainer itself, not the OT name of a pokemon. I can't find in PKheX anywhere the option to edit a trainers name, gender etc. Where I can edit the trainers name and export the data in a ARDS code, so I can insert it into the game?

There's no save editor for that. It can only be done via RAM or ROM editing. Or you referring to the name of the trainer (that is what the videos seem to indicate). PKHeX can do that. You're just not doing it right
Gh0str1d3r Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks man! You're helping out a lot! I have two issues though, the first one is that I can't seem to find Trainer Info, among other boxes, as shown in image I added. Secondly I need to export the name into a code so can inject it using my Action ReplayDSS into the game. I have already tried editing a pre-existing code and I got questionmarks in the trainers name in the empty spaces as a result.
theSLAYER Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 @Gh0str1d3r erm. Could you at least load your save file first? PKHeX is a save editor. Quote Secondly I need to export the name into a code so can inject it using my Action ReplayDSS into the game. I have already tried editing a pre-existing code and I got questionmarks in the trainers name in the empty spaces as a result. After reading this, I'm starting to think that I've been thrown off by your statement about PKHeX, as well as believe that you are unable to extract your save. PKHeX is a save editor, not a code generator. Don't know why you're looking at PKHeX at the first place, if you cannot obtain your save. Anyway, the "???" can easily be resolved by editing the previous code you used. Alternatively, if you're hard stuck on using Pokesav (to generate codes), it's on our site this whole time: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/2066-pokésav/ When you type in the Trainer name, make sure you use the right arrow key to go all the way to the end of the textbox, and delete any spaces that may be hiding in plain sight behind the new Trainer name you typed in. Typically that steps resolves it. (It happens with trainer names and nicknames of Pokemon. One of the many reasons why people dropped Pokesav)
Gh0str1d3r Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I wanted to use PKHeX, because I was wondering if it could generate AR-codes, like Pokesav could. The Pokesavs you linked are gen 4 only. However if the trainername-code generated by Gen 4 Pokesav can be inserted in a Gen 5 pokemon game, then I guess my problem is solved. Also many thanks for the right-arrow trick and all of your help! I will try it and let you know the results. Edited January 16, 2021 by Gh0str1d3r

I'm kinda confused how the second attempt didn't work for you, because FFs are valid terminators. Example: In any case, try this: Quote 94000130 FFFB0000 B2000024 00000000 000367A0 004F0052 000367A4 004E0041 000367A8 0000FFFF 000367AC 00000000 D2000000 00000000

Did you activate the code with the correct button combinations?
Gh0str1d3r Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 1. You are right! I pressed select while in-game to get the code to work from the 3rd attempt to work and it did! Many thanks! 2. 'Select' is the right button. Thanks for your time and your help. I learned a lot from this experience and I hope you did too! 1
