[subway] Pokemon Platinum get the platinum flag doesnt upgrade trainer card.

[Kokushibo]

Hi everyone.

I was trying to replay my Pokemon Platinum to try maximize my trainer card levels... I know the requirements, I already put all over 100 and game displays the Platinum flag but the trainer card is not updated.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I had the same issue. There's an unknown (undocumented?) Event Constant changed by any flag you steal and is not triggered by just editing the amount you captured. I tried by my own means and it may be 74, 77 or 182 but I didn't know which value to put and whatever I tried failed (it may be caused because it records the trainer name and ID of the people you steal, so is not a 0; 1 or total amount variable). Cheat codes didn't work either, as they only change the amount of captures without changing the event constant/flag, so you get the same result (Platinum flag without Trainer Card star).

This may not be the answer you want, but I ended up using my save file on both sides and stole one flag after putting 50 captures on PkHeX.
