Can anyone verify this Fire Red save file as 100% Legitimate?

[MichaelJackson]

I know this will take time I suppose (checking event flags, PIDs, amongst other miscellaneous data to truly verify, etc.) but I wanted to ask if anyone could verify the save file, including the Pokemon on it (not many). From what I am told, the save file is post-game and the individual released all Pokemon except ones of note (such as one-time encounters like the Legendary Birds, Mewtwo, Starter, etc.). They also have a Deoxys that they swear is 100% legitimate from the actual real life event back in the day as well as the Lugia from XD: GoD. Equally important, I am personally curious as to what, if anything, is not 100% legitimate.

 

So, yeah - in short, I just want to see if anyone would be kind enough to spare some time out of their day/night to do a deep dive on it.

Thank you! -MJ

• Did not receive Mystic Ticket, yet can travel to Navel Rock? Hasn't even shown the Aurora ticket to the captain, yet has the flags to be able to travel to both event islands.
• Every single pokemon in the boxes has default friendship.
• Articuno/Moltres/Zapdos all share the same unremarkable PID/IV. Possible modified from each other.
• Snorlax PID/IV is exactly the same as ^ except with the top bits flipped. Very suspicious.
• Eevee (leftmost) has the exact same IV spread. Extremely suspicious for an egg.
• Venusaur and Blastoise are level >90 and have 0 EVs. Venusaur has all ribbons (including contest stats) without any pokeblocks used. Insanely suspicious.
• The Suicune in the Roamer data does not match the Suicune they captured.
• Every single TM is owned (in bag), but multiple Pokemon have TM moves learned. Somewhat suspicious.
• Initial E4 clear has an entirely different Charizard PID (4A5E25BB) from the one in party (C2947D2E). Both are level 100. The TID/SID is different from the novelty TID of the save file, implying that the save file TID/SID was changed.
• The Hall of Fame only has 2 entries, implying the Hall of Fame was only cleared one extra time. Strange that the team has none of their OT present, and instead shows level 100s from various trainers instead.
• 4/6 party members have 3/3 PP Ups. All have 252/252/6 EVs (except Venusaur, as mentioned above, has no EVs).
• The save file has only been saved 60 times. Very suspicious for someone with 600 hours played.
• Only 124 Pokémon were captured. Very hard to fill out boxes with such a small amount.
• Only healed in the pokecenter 19 times. Crazy low amount.
• Only received ribbons once, which makes sense for the duplicate Hall of Fame clears.
• Used the daycare 8 times? hatched less than 2 dozen eggs? getting vgc-player vibes here.
• Only did 9 trades. lmao. You can't complete the pokedex with only 9 trades, sorry.
• Pokedex is complete, but Spinda's PID is still uninitialized (zero), implying the pokedex was cheated to complete.
• Lugia has the exact same IVs as the other 3 birds. Come on.
• Only traded 9 times, deoxys has been trained, yet still has 0 friendship. Entirely possible it was traded away then traded back and never touched again, still sus.
• Nickname trash bytes missing on every single pokemon is incredibly suspicious -- except the Ditto sequestered in the daycare (which has trash bytes as expected!).
• Zero link battles recorded, yet has the sticker for link battles. nope.

This is not a clean save file.

Thank you SO much for the detailed list. I let them know about this and this was their response to some of those points (copy and pasted from them)...I will just list your points with "Q" and theirs with "A".

Q: Articuno/Moltres/Zapdos all share the same unremarkable PID/IV. Possible modified from each other.
A: "i will admit i did generate legendary birds (and maybe even Lugia) at one point but i thought that was on a different save and not this one. regardless tho, that is literally how the program pkhex generated them (which they claim generates legit pokemon but apparently not if they give all same friendship and pid/ivs)."

Q: Venusaur and Blastoise are level >90 and have 0 EVs.
A: "i used vitamins or rare candies i believe"

Q: The Suicune in the Roamer data does not match the Suicune they captured.
A: "there's nothing stating it has to....i had/have multiple save files with the same trainer name so it was most likely traded over or something."

Q: Every single TM is owned (in bag), but multiple Pokemon have TM moves learned. Somewhat suspicious.
A: "what would be suspicious about that? you can trade games and teach moves."

Q: The save file has only been saved 60 times. / Only healed in the pokecenter 19 times. Crazy low amount. / Used the daycare 8 times? hatched less than 2 dozen eggs?
A: "where exactly in the program do you see this? i will download it and check it out myself."

Q: Pokedex is complete, but Spinda's PID is still uninitialized (zero), implying the pokedex was cheated to complete.
A: "what does this even mean and where do you see this?"

Q: Lugia has the exact same IVs as the other 3 birds.
A: "again, COULD have been generated that i mistaken for another save of mine. but if it was generated, that is pkhex's fault then for claiming to give legitimate pokemon"

As it stands, this point below in itself is sufficient to prove that the save itself isn't clean. Everything else was just a really sweet and juicy cherry on top.

You cannot legitimately trigger those flags in the wrong order. I am sorry to say that the save is definitely not clean and the story about receiving the ticket on this save is patently false, full stop.

Nothing they can say will change that ><

what does this even mean and where do you see this?

It's either labelled in PKHeX (I can't remember), or the dev of PKHeX knows where to find it.
We're also not here to give instructions that potentially can be used to try to create/fake a clean save, do understand that not every point will be revealed.
