theSLAYER Posted March 31, 2021 Posted March 31, 2021 On 3/31/2021 at 12:07 PM, Wheeler said: I used the flashboy dumper Expand Quick question: was this save dumped before you obtained a starter? was this save dumped before you accessed any of the PC boxes? I cut out the time stamp that Crystal uses, to acquire a correct sized save, but PKHeX still won't read it. Using some hex editing trickery, I understand that you have received your starter. (I took a block of the party data, as referenced from here) But presently it looks like not much progress has been made. According to my tests on my end, you must have at least deposited one Pokemon into the PC, for PKHeX to recognize it.
