VC Gen 1 and 2 Shiny Edit

[LilSmooshy]

Ive recently completed a living shiny dex for gen 1 & 2 via breeding in gen 2.

At the moment im running a lua script/bot to catch some extra shiny Celebi. It's hit or miss how long each one takes.

With Gen 1 or 2 not having a PID is there legality issues with changing the IVs to make them shiny?

I know Poke Transporter is going to reassign the IV's and give it a PID/EC.

Do gen 1 and 2 have a seed they re derived from that wouldn't match if a non shiny was changed to shiny?

Yes. Not every encounter can be shiny. Certain encounters have the details behind their generation mapped out, and those encounters can't be shiny.

I think values Poketransporter assigns is random enough.
The issue would be "how did you obtain them", which some people may be able to figure out based on transferred level.
