Potentially dumb question. I've been working on putting together a Black 2 save and I noticed that the Pokemon I was genning were showing PID Type none consistently? When I noticed the PID issue, I assumed initially it was due to using Entree Forest Pokemon. But then noticed it was also happening on my regular mons as well. I went and started a fresh save on Black and Omega Ruby then imported those saves over. I noted that both games respective starters were showing PID Type None as well.

 

I've done this for earlier gens and not had a problem by using things like Pokefinder/RNG Reporter/etc to generate realistic PID's based off seed searches. I've generated several mons from 3rd and 4th gen games all of which show associated PID information normally by following this process.

 

The closest possible related answer I could find was this thread: https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/66178-pid-type-and-origin-seed/

 

Specifically "2. If the Pokemon is generated with a pattern that isn't detectable (sufficiently random) then it won't show a pattern or lack thereof. Patterns that are too difficult to detect in realtime are not checked. "

 

I assume this (or some other unrelated reason) means 5th-7th gen Pokemon won't show their actual PID Type with the exception of a couple Pokemon(saw some events had them)? FWIW the PIDs I'm generating are all coming back legal, I just liked the extra confirmation I was getting on previous gens. Wanted to ask just to make sure it wasn't me.
