Hello People!

I'm new here and I just finished reading the rules and regulations regarding posting on this section as well as the steps for checking Pokemon Legality. However, I have 2 questions: One pertaining to something I encountered using the Legality Checker and the other concerning the OT Name Input in the Pokesav Pokemon Editing Menu. So, without further ado, here goes!

I just recently used the Pokemon Legality Checker to check a Shiny Rayquaza "PKM" file I edited with Pokesav. My goal was to make it as if I caught it in my Emerald version. The check turned out successful but the last line "Type" read as "Unkown GBA Type". Does this mean anything substantial to the Legality of my Pokemon? Will I be able to use this Pokemon without consequence in a tournament event (if it is allowed) or in Pokemon Battle Revolution?

Another problem I encountered was with Pokesav's Pokemon Editing OT Name changer. Whenever I try to put my Pokemon Emerald's trainer's name "Folken" in the sub-menu and click "Ok" it doesn't show on the main menu. At first, I thought it was just an aesthetic glitch with Pokesav but when I put it to Action Replay and activated it the OT Name of the Rayquaza showed as "??????". It's not for anything else but it would look odd if one of my friends (or anybody else) checked my Rayquaza's stats and saw that it would sure look suspicious. This is more a question of legitimacy. What is causing this anomaly with the Pokemon OT Name feature? Is there any way to fix it? If so, please tell me I would endlessly appreciate it.

Just as an extra measure to prevent misunderstanding I will attach my Rayquaza "PKM" file for anyone who should want to study it. Thanks for your consideration and I hope to keep collaborating with you guys in the future. Peace out!

Well, after a little searching around, I managed to find a fix to the Pokesav Pokemon Editor OT Name problem I was having. Apparently pressing "Backspace" on your keyboard a bunch of times resets the trash values below so that you can enter your desired OT name without consequence. Regarding the issue with the last line of the Legality Checker program stating "Type" as "Unknown GBA Type" in yellow letters it seems that some people on this forum state that it's normal in some cases although others say it's not and it should show "Type" as something else, so, I'm still a little torn on that. Anyhow, I hope this helps anybody who may run into the OT Name issue should anybody else who is new to Pokesav should experience it. Anyhow, feel free to download my Shiny Rayquaza "PKM" file. It's a good legitimate based build for anyone who is looking for a Shiny Pokemon with good non-outlandish IV's and stats from the Emerald version. Catch you later pals!

Rayquaza should be Normal GBA (A-B-C-D) for the type. And this is because Rayquaza is a legendary Pokemon in Emerald, and therefore it uses ONLY A-B-C-D (Method 1).

Is there any way to correct this "Unkown GBA Type" message in Pokesav? Or is it even necessary for legality or legitimacy purposes? If so, I would really like to know what I can do to correct this issue with the Pokemon Legality Checker's recording "type", for this Pokemon, as "Unknown GBA Type" so that it will state "Normal GBA" instead. If you could look into it and tell me I would be ever so grateful. Thanks!

try going into the section of pokesav that generates PIDs based on the IVs (the one where you hit generate and it shows a big chart of PIDs), you can often find more than one shiny PID for a given IV spread but it is questionable whether or not you will find two with the same nature.

[Folken Vitruvius]

That's alright, I'm really just aiming to create a "legitimate" Shiny Rayquaza. I've just loaded Pokesav up and got to the IV based PID generator and hit "generate". There are quite a few compatible "PIDs" here but I'm not clear on how to know whether they're for Shiny Pokemon or not. Are there any discerning features or items that should appear in any of the other boxes on the spread-sheet or is there another program like RNG Reporter that I should use in collaboration to find which "PIDs" correspond to Shiny Pokemon?

on the far right there should be a box with a NS or SH in it, NS means not shiny SH means shiny

Sorry for the late response but I just got to this (my brother needed the computer for homework) so I did what you said but I think I might have a different version of Pokesav from yours because I couldn't find the column you were talking about on the spread-sheet. Just to save with any confusion I attached the screen shot of what the PID/IV Generator menu in my Pokesav looks like. I've also taken the liberty of processing an actual PID generation. The second to the last column (to the left) is completely empty all the way down and the last column is consistent with "?~" all the way down as well. Perhaps I may have problems with my regional settings language problems since the headers defining those columns are marked with "jibberish" (?à?i, ?à?E, etc..) unless this is actually something to do with Pokesav itself.

If this is indeed a different version of Pokesav from yours are there any other discerning features or symbols I should look out for to define the "PIDs" as legally "shiny"? Anyhow, sorry for putting you through this trouble randomcouchpotato. I appreciate your help very much. If there is no way in this version, it's cool. Thanks.

it would be the column where the question marks are, you might want to get a more recent version of pokesav

EDIT: i found your problem, the reason you arent seeing NS or SH is because youre using DP pokesav, if you load rayquaza into Plt pokesav and generate new PIDs you will see the NS or SH
