Lasarius Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I have my own suspicions that it is the case but I wanted to be certain from people who know more about it then I do PS I found this on my Network Data storage with the rest of the DS library as seen in the file name it's a Pearl Save 1016 - Pokemon Pearl (U).sav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Did you even bother looking at the save file within PKHeX? Literally everything is illegal, so this is a hacked save file for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally everything is illegal, so this is a hacked save file for sure. of course i bothered to check with PKHeX but was it done with different program because i don't think PKHeX existed in 2009 and if you check the pokemon they are all caught on the same route, same ball, same day, and same Origin Game. also when running verify checksums it says all checksums are valid and when i do stuff in the save with PKHeX it says save has been edited cannot integrity check Edited August 25, 2021 by Lasarius missed a word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And that is excluding Japanese tools that existed then) How else would it have been edited in 2009? Is your point to find out whether it was edited, or find out how it was edited?If "was it edited?": Clearly it was. illegal stuff don't appear in normal playthroughs.If "how was it edited?": No specific idea how, but I gave a list of examples of what existed then. (Probably Pokesav, or Pokegen, or using an AR, or a combination of them. Just because PKHeX didn't exist then, doesn't mean there wasn't means to edit/hack...) Spoiler Just look at this mess: load of badly hacked shinies, everything is illegal, has all the ribbons. How would one think it's not hacked, huh?

How would one think it's not hacked, huh? also the rom is really weird since it's from June 26 2006 when Pokemon Pearl wasn't even released in Japan at that time which is kinda interesting but i did want to know how and it's probably pokésav by the looks of it Edited August 26, 2021 by Lasarius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that. But lets not discuss it further. Quote but i did want to know how and it's probably pokésav by the looks of it potentially. tho, do know that PokeGen existed in 2009, so could be that too. Tho, I don't recall some of the "9999" being editable on either PokeGen or Pokesav. It's possible a lot of codes were used on it, to make all kinds of fields 9999. Given there's a big bunch of mons caught shiny on the same route, with rather impossible stats, so I'm assuming some combination of "wild Pokemon modifier code", "max level encounter code", "max IVs for encounters" and "shiny encounter code" was used to encounter them. I say that because I don't think PokeGen nor pokesav supported batch editing, easier to imagine one just sitting there catching all the mons in cherish balls. (probably had on a 100% catch code too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
