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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
