Happy Pokémon day everyone! I've added legality checks and fixes to PKMDS. Give it a try!

Hello all. Just some recent updates: Pokémon Slot Pokémon in party/box slots now show icons indicating if they are shiny, alpha, or in a Let's Go party slot Held items are now shown directly in the Pokémon slot Editing Added Move Shop and Alpha Move editors for Pokémon in Legends: Arceus saves Added a Plus Flags editor Added editors for Relearn Moves and TR flags Canceling a dialog now discards changes instead of saving them Bag Bag edits now save correctly to your save file Improved bag loading performance App Added an update check button to the menu Improved stats chart display

Thank you so much you absolute legend!

Yes, of course. It should in fact happen in real time - watch for your max HP to increase / decrease as you adjust the IVs for the Pokémon. Bear in mind, the stat formula means small adjustments will be more noticeable at higher levels. I suggest you do a bit of reading / watching videos to learn how stats work before you mess around:

They do. All of the switch games do. https://fxtwitter.com/meatball_132/status/2027821668068970622?s=46 That same dataminer stating they did not intend to fear monger everyone.

So I have a hacked Switch, and with the recent releases of FireRed and LeafGreen I figured it would be a great time to inject my LeafGreen save that I completed last summer. The good news is I was able to just take my save file and rename it to what the save file from the Switch version was called and it was all good. Now the thing is I want to take my FireRed file from my Switch and make the Squirtle I chose shiny. However, I came across a thread from a dataminer that says Nintendo is taking telemetry on the Switch copies. Now I have never had any issues with editing saves in the past, so if games such as Scarlet/Violet or ZA took telemetry then based off my experience with that it should be fine. So aside from that the next thing I wonder is if editing the save will somehow have an impact on stuff such as the guy giving you all the event tickets after beating the elite four. I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this.

Yeah so here are the steps I took: The first thing that must be done is to get a save from FR/LG. Just simply start the game, name your person and rival whatever, and as soon as you get into the world just save. The next step is to go into the Switch Homebrew Menu and go to your save managing app (either JKSV or Checkpoint, which is what I personally use) and go to your game, then make a backup of that save. For ease in locating this save later, I would name it something like your character name or something, but that's up to you. After that, you need to go into USB File Transfer app, then hook your Switch up to your PC. You go into SD card, into the "switch" folder, then you should see a folder with your save manager app's name (in my case Checkpoint), then you go to the "saves" folder, and you should then see a bunch of hexcode strings and game names. You are going to have to find the folder for your game (which the Pokemon games typically don't have a name next to them so they can be a bit harder to find), then you should just see a folder named after the backup we made earlier. You go in that folder and you should see your save (either "FireRed_e.sav" or "LeafGreen_e.sav"). Now you can delete the save file you see there and drag your save you plan on importing over into this folder. Make sure to rename the file to the previous file name (As seen above in the quotation marks). From there you just disconnect your switch from the PC, go back into your save manager and find the game, and simply hit "Restore". If you followed everything exactly, you should see your save data that you imported once you get past the starting screen.

If it should learn X move and the move isn't breaking anything, it should be added in the learnset in some way. Solorun is ultra experimental and I think for gauntlets I had to keep partner because it posed team management issues I think There's 8 if you account those that are planned for future updates haha. Light Tetrahedron obtention is currently bugged and it might be the only one you are missing with the Holy Lyre.

About this release General idea Explorers of Alpha has been developed with replayability and accessibility in mind. Ever since injecting custom code has been normalized in the Sky modding community, most of the changes aim to implement new mechanics and provide the most complete and interesting experience possible while retaining the core Explorers of Sky story and environment. About starters and getting started All leader/partner combinations are available to the player, meaning the starter and partner can now share the same type or species (credits to Frostbyte). Starter List Selector - You can choose any player and partner independently from the six following lists: - If you'd like your starter to be randomized, a "Surprise me!" option is available. Each time it's selected, it generates a fully random list. - The starters screen has proper descriptions for all normal starters, explaining their stat curves, moves, starter moves, typing, IQ group, and more (credits to Adex for the code). The base game's starter and partner restrictions have been lifted. Starter Selection by Inputting an ID This ID corresponds to the entry's internal ID and is strictly between 1 and 552. No guide is linked to this option as it is not intended to be fully user-friendly but rather an option for those who want a fully customized game experience. The game lets you preview the selected entry as both leader and partner so you can decide before starting a playthrough. With both options, your starter receives an egg move depending on its ID: Additionally: Ascend Stone Mark I and Mark II are now the common evolution items for your starter and partner. They evolve via normal means otherwise. Completing a one-attempt optional dungeon after Sky Peak grants you two Mark I stones, unlocking earlier evolution. 2 Mark II stones are awarded after clearing Zero Isle Center. General game feel changes The general game UI has been overhauled. This includes Arceus-themed splash screens for the start menu, taken directly from HeartGold/SoulSilver. You start the game with a 48-slot bag and 1,000 slots in storage. Super Mystery Dungeon-style item icons appear before item names (patch created by me). Upon joining the guild, you will receive a set of useful starting items. Game modes After finishing Beach Cave and registering as a new Exploration Team, you can choose from the following game options: L-Trigger Overworld Menu The L-trigger in the overworld opens a menu where you can manage various in-game options: Recruitment Toggle Enable or disable recruitment at any time (still disabled in certain story dungeons). Experience Share Toggle Exp. Share on or off. The default experience amount depends on the upgrade level (see below). Challenge Management Forfeit challenges (if allowed) or switch challenges if new ones are unlocked. Level Scaling Enable or disable level scaling. Inverse Mode Toggle Reverse type matchups. Unlock this mode by recruiting Palkia. Note: Inverse mode interactions account for special mechanics such as Psychic moves on Dark-types affected by Miracle Eye or the Metang Scarf, and Scrappy effects on Ghost-types. Inverse mode can be disabled even during forced scenarios. Daily cutscenes Enable or disable daily cutscenes (Sharpedo Bluff, Guild eating). Allows to circumvent some game issues. Difficulty Adjustment Before Darkrai, you can only lower your difficulty if it's too challenging. All difficulties are unlocked after defeating Darkrai. Vanilla and Difficult difficulties can be switched freely at all times. Text Speed Change the speed of in-game text at any time. Custom Typings Toggle custom typings on or off. Player oriented Quality of Life An update system ensures that save files from previous versions are compatible with the latest version.

Oran Forest: Replaced with Nectar Forest, a dungeon for farming Nectars. Aegis Cave: Puzzle mechanics are now less frustrating. A new section has been added, housing Regidrago and Regieleki. Destiny Tower: Adjusted to match the Super Mystery Dungeon (SMD) variant. Mazes: Offer a gradual difficulty curve and opportunities to farm Gummies. Access is limited to once per day before defeating Dialga. Grid Rooms, taken from Gates to Infinity, are special in-dungeon sections featuring puzzles, mini-bosses, or unique encounters with special enemies. Their availability varies based on dungeon difficulty. They are often found in story dungeons. New Gameplay Mechanics Enemy rosters are now more varied. Spawn rates for enemies, traps, and items now scale based on difficulty settings. When a Pokémon’s HP is critically low, a pain portrait is shown (if available), thanks to Chesyon’s patch. The map dynamically updates like in recent Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles, courtesy of Chesyon. Free Camera Mode: A new mode allows players to look around a room using Select and the D-pad: Enemy Inspection: Pressing A on an enemy shows its typing, level, and abilities. Target Display: Holding R and pressing Y when facing a target provides similar details. Team members are teleported to the team leader before purchases to prevent exploitative setups. Enemies can now regenerate HP, preventing exploits that break the game balance. Improved Visual Feedback Enemies in a "pinch" are now marked with an exclamation mark above their heads, signifying abilities like Blaze could be active on it. Level-up summaries are more concise and faster to process. Using the last PP of a move now triggers an animation and notification. Other Adjustments Stat boosts and drops have been overhauled for balance. Offensive stat caps have been lifted. The turn-based speed system has been adjusted for fairness: Pokémon can no longer chain infinite movements after attacking. This change is disabled in Vanilla mode for players seeking a classic experience. A new status condition, Frostbite, behaves as a special burn: It reduces special attack and causes damage over time. The chance of inflicting Frostbite with moves is higher in Hail or Snow. Ice-types are immune to Frostbite. It is cured by walking on lava or being afflicted with burn, poison, or paralysis. Permafrost is introduced as a Frostbite-inflicting move with its own TM. Critical Hits now ignore the attacker’s drops and the defender’s buffs, matching main-series mechanics. Default chance is 1/32. High critical-hit ratio moves have a 1/16 chance to crit. Scope Lens, Super Luck, Sharpshooter, and Patsy Band now double chances. Focus Energy multiplies critical-hit chances by 8 and lasts 15 turns. Type-Advantage Master now grants +50% critical-hit damage on super-effective hits, stacking with Sniper. Complete Team Control (by Cipnit) - Automatic mode only allows you to control the party leader. - Manual mode allows you to control party members individually. Following action order, you decide how to spend each party members turn. They can do anything the leader can do, even opening the Treasure Bag! However, their Belly will deplete during their turn. This mode can be triggered on and off by pressing Start on your Leader's turn. A Manual mode indicator has been added to improve clarity for players. - Belly consumption is applied correctly to all allies, preventing exploits like walking through walls without Belly depletion. Mysteriosity System The Mysteriosity System, inspired by Gates to Infinity, introduces a dynamic layer of unpredictability to dungeon exploration. This feature becomes available after defeating Darkrai and operates daily based on two variables: V-Wave Type The Windmill at Crossroads reveals the V-Wave type for the day. Effects: Pokémon of the V-Wave type (both allies and enemies) deal 50% more damage in dungeons. Level of Weirdness Determined each morning by your partner’s dialogue: - Great day: Level 0 (15% chance) - Bright day: Level 1 (25% chance) - Fantastic day: Level 2 (25% chance) - Amazing day: Level 3 (20% chance) - Fascinating day: Level 4 (10% chance) - Wonderful day: Level 5 (5% chance) - Stressful day: Level 6 (0.025% chance) Effects by Weirdness Level - Level 1 Increased item density (+70%), enemy density (+50%), and trap density (+20%). Sticky items have a 5% chance of appearing. 1-species floors (10% chance, not present at Level 5 or higher). - Level 2 Adds random effects such as Embargo, Heal Block, Gastro Acid, Taunt, or Mist. Monster House spawn rate increases (10% chance). - Level 3 Locked rooms appear, requiring a key to access rare items.

Cursed Halls (4% chance) appear, tripling Belly depletion. - Level 5 Enemies no longer experience damage reduction. Terra Incognita, a mysterious location, becomes accessible (planned for future updates). Managing Mysteriosity - Flygon is a new NPC found in Shaymin Village. He will use a Mystery Part in your bag to manually adjust the Weirdness Level. He also can disable the Mysteriosity System for free if desired. - Mystery Parts are found in dungeons like Mysterious Geoglyph, Fallen Star Remains, Fire Field, and Trackless Forest through wall excavation. Restrictions Mysteriosity is disabled in certain key dungeons, including Future Dungeons, Hidden Land, Temporal Tower, Chaotic Wilds, Spacial Rift, Zero Isles, Destiny Tower, and Special Episodes. Ginseng System The Ginseng mechanics have been completely reworked, adding depth to move upgrades and power scaling. Previously, using a single Ginseng increased a move’s base power by 1. Moves now level up with Ginseng, affecting multiple aspects such as base power, accuracy, and PP: - Levels 1–10: Requires 1 Ginseng per level. - Levels 11–20: Requires 2 Ginsengs per level. - Level 20–Crown: Requires 3 Ginsengs per level. - Level Crown: The maximum upgrade level through regular Ginsengs. Crowned moves gain significant power, accuracy, and PP boosts. - Level Infinity: Achieved with a Ginseng Infinity after reaching Level Crown. Unlocks ultimate evolution, granting even greater stat boosts and PP. Note: PP boosts vary by move type and are capped differently for balance.

Drake Sash: Protects Regidrago from stat reduction. - Genesect comes with three exclusive items: G-Pulse: Prevents PP consumption when attacking.

Pokemon changes Many Pokémon have received updated typings to reflect modern games and provide a different gameplay experience: NOTE: A toggle in the L-menu allows players to disable non-Vanilla typings if desired.

All instances of the Sure-Hit Attacker IQ Skill have been replaced by Cautious Creeper. - Bone Club, Bone Rush, and Bonemerang deal double damage when used by Marowak or Alolan Marowak. When used by Alolan Marowak, these moves become Ghost-type and gain Same Type Attack Bonus. - SmellingSalt, Mega Kick and Mega Punch are now Fighting-type - Dream Eater has been replaced by Soul Eater, a Ghost-type clone of Giga Drain.

It is a dungeon-exclusive item that disappears after you leave the dungeon. - An Escape Orb replaces Shedinja in the Secret Bazaar, as both items served the same function. - Grab Bags from Swalot no longer have a fixed 50% chance to provide an Oran Berry.

They allow for more options in general to prepare for the upcoming boss fight. - An optional evolution-related event has been added after completing Sky Peak. - You can now feed Manaphy with a Blue Gummi or Wonder Gummi. Feeding it a Wonder Gummi triggers a slightly different cutscene. - An optional boss fight against “Cresselia” has been added in The Nightmare. - Some areas now feature permanent dungeon field effects. - Future Dungeons (Chasm Cave, Dark Hill, and others): Pokémon’s most proficient stats are boosted in higher difficulties. In Difficult, the enemy damage reduction is lifted instead. - Hidden Land Segment: Time Gears provide a 1.1× stat boost (except Accuracy and Evasion) during the first visit in all difficulties except Hardcore. - Spacial Rift and Chaotic Wilds: These dungeons feature permanent Inverse Mode. - Explorer Rank upgrade dungeons are unlocked after recycling 150 times along with Zero Isle Center if you have beaten World Abyss. Updating the game won't unlock the dungeons, they will be unlocked instead from the Crossroads menu - Zero Isle North proposes a new restriction: you're given a survival bag, and your goal is to finish the dungeon with it. At the end of the dungeon, you will keep your inventory. The bag pools are fixed and you have a fixed chance to get any of them: 3 bags are at 30% and focus on one specific type of item management, 2 bags are at 5% and focus on overall survivability... or not. - Zero Isle East is a stat-reset dungeon where all entries stats are recalculated following the main series formula. You cannot gain any Exp and the stats return back to normal when leaving the dungeon. For limitation reasons, your stats other than HP are calculated using half your level. That means a level 86 Pokémon will have its HP at level 86 with 252 EVs while it will have its Attack at level 43 with 252 EVs and a neutral nature. The speed stat is also taken in account for the crit chance, which is calculated like in Gen 1 (barring the glitches) depending on the Base Speed. - Zero Isle South is a level-reset centered around item management and replayability inspired by Etrian Odyssey. Legendaries have a special restriction which drains their belly drastically faster, this is to make up for the higher level 1 stats they have. Screenshots New Title Screens New UI More Starter choices Systems added to the game A few game additions Some QoL features A fraction of Porygon2's features Small look into new puzzles and events A bunch of dungeon changes ... and more to experience! Known bugs - Using the Inspector mode with R+Y messes up with your game - Swapping from Alternate to Origin forms or Mega-Evolving Diancie/Manectric has a chance to cause ally sprites to disappear. Also "apparent" forms might not be affected by exclusive item effects - Triggering the anti-steal check or the no-proximity check from Kecleon shops in specific positions might cause a very very long loop of warps - Ultimate Items calculation might work incorrectly. The feature is still experimental, don't forget to post all feedbacks! - Deoxys and Shaymin might be unstable. Report bugs related to them if you find one! - Randomizer and Starter selector don't check for total duo size when validating your party. Don't report bugs related to them as I am currently not in capacity of handling them. Also if you replaced sprites in the game and it crashes, you brought this upon yourself... - MelonDS Mobile is having a lot of issues with the game. The emulator is initially very unstable due to its experimental nature so I'll recommand you change to another emulator if you find bugs on it in order to make sure the bug isn't emulator-tied. Upcoming plans Explorers of Alpha 4.0 aims to include all the mons, moves, abilities from Gen I to Gen IX in Explorers of Sky's setting while retaining Explorers of Sky's mechanics (Exclusive Items, IQ Skills, etc), expanding on field effects and custom mechanics even more. As per usual, no ETA, it's going to be a long journey doing that alone. Special Thanks Frostbyte, Adex, Hecka, Nov and an anonymous contributor: they helped me a lot with all the tech support all along. Working alone on the tech part of the project is very hard sometimes, they helped me a lot with my bug fixing process and I can't thank them enough for that. Fafnir, Anpyron, VOID, Kalor, Eixalde, Argon, Tokie, Aerophii, FlowerSnek and Picalex: they are my beloved testers and did most of the work for me, testing through the game over and over again, patch after patch, providing bug reports and feedback, helping to make the most fulfilling experience for everyone. NikolaP: he is an idea guy and the best source of ideas I came across in this community. He provided so much gameplay ideas that I'm sometimes frustrated that I don't have time to test them all but I'm still happy to see him post his 452186451th idea nonetheless! CapyPara, Audino, techticks, PsyCommando and UsernameFodder: they worked on documenting the game and developing tools around understanding and editing the game. They completely carry developers on their back at times and I can't thank them enough for the resources they put at our disposal. baroness faron, emmuffin, FunnyKecleonMeme, Soulja, Deeshura, Cait Sith, JaiFain, Garbage, Nooga... They are working on filling in assets for SpriteCollab. I wanted to credit the most active ones because they are absolutely cracked. Here is the xdelta patch for the 3.0.3 patch: Alpha_303.xdelta. It is meant to be patched on a clean US Explorers of Sky ROM with xDelta UI. It should be completely compatible with all supports. If you'd like to contact me, you can try to shoot me a DM on Discord (@lingeringlifeline) or on Twitter (@EoAlpha_off).

A Plus Move is the signature mechanic of Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Look at what game you have open for editing.

this is...a first for me. o.o you absolutely *should* be able to? or install the Fix Memory Softlock or Anti Softlock patches in SkyTemple depending on what you're playing it on, you can either import your save, or just replace the old rom with the new one (and name it the same thing) and your save should carry over yes! every mainline starter will be available in the next update

Got the unused Growlithe encounter in SwSh (3rd gym). Very unmotivated to replay ZA for all those uncatchable pokemon. Should make a list to begin maybe. 0058 - Caninos - C1420563A9B7.pk8

Hash isn't valid, assuming you transferred via FTP, fix your setting to force Binary transfer -- not ASCII/text.

I've made a bunch of revisions on the latest commit to address the behavior you've mentioned: Small tweaks to HGSS ball check · kwsch/PKHeX@6f9daae We weren't able to figure out how exactly Mood can get deposited into the Box without being reset to 0; we did notice that swapping party slots after interacting with them in the overworld can give Mood to eggs in the party. Seems the game has an issue with keeping track of pointers. If you're able to figure out a clean repro step, that would be helpful. Here are some of the notes regarding Mood's mechanics: https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/6f9daaed0492c4d3910a0aa0e15ed8ffaee3527f/PKHeX.Core/Legality/Verifiers/Misc/MiscVerifierG4.cs#L117-L125

Hi, new release 1.5 (now 1.5.1). PKVault is now available on Linux & SteamDeck ! Checkout Github release for executables. Also multiple fixes related to Docker image, checkout Github README. A feature often asked: an in-app documentation is now present helping for settings, quick-start, and giving information for how the app works. This feature is still raw, may be improved later. New language: German. Update PKHeX to 26.01.31, giving Legends ZA 2.0.1 compatibility. Issue related to sort action is now fixed @zavage00 @WraithTDK this feature is planned.

Open the save file in a hex editor, and set the width to 0x1000. You can then look for the end part of each block to see where each block resides in the file. Generally, they're stored in order, but they start saving from a random block ID and loop until all are saved.

PKHeX tells you the playtime at the top of the program window. The pokedex editor opens just fine.

Not sure if this means much, but I just wanted to comment how much I love this hack. It really understands what makes Sky so great, and adds so much great content that makes it even better. I’m really looking forward to the next update

I continued your project to create a webapp, which is more versatile, doesn't require installation and can be used also on smartphones. Here's the link: https://pokemonmysterydungeon-saveditor.netlify.app/

Do you mean the 191115 Birthday Pikachu and Eevee? I talked about it in this thread: Originally when the event first launched, the wondercard (version 1) generated a dynamic PID. Sometime around February 2020, the wondercard was changed to only have a static PID (version 2).

This user above has spammed his project in every Linux-related forum thread. I would like to point out that, besides the fact that his script is extremely convoluted (ridiculously so), the source of PKHeX is not the official one, but rather a reupload on archive.org. I have nothing to do with him, let alone his project with my thread. Be careful.

@Kaphotics here are the gen 4 pkm files of the said pokemon. These pokemon are specifically originated from DPPt and HGSS, evolved and leveled up at 100 on these games. Transferring it to Gen 5 and 6 games (BW,B2W2,XY,ORAS) still legal... but reaching gen 7/8/9 flagged it as illegal... i believe catching these specific 5 pokemon in gen 3 - if transferred, evolved & leveled up to 100 on gen 4 games also have this problem. Gen 5 and 6 transferred to gen 7 doest have this illegal flag since it retains the original met level. 0424 - AMBIPOM - 00524A6996C6.pk4 0463 - LICKILICKY - 82EA4A6996C6.pk4 0465 - TANGROWTH - 87C94A6996C6.pk4 0469 - YANMEGA - 8D5D4A6996C6.pk4 0473 - MAMOSWINE - 41C54A6996C6.pk4

about @Ferchu1511's issue HERE, i also found this bug, not only ambipom, but all the pokemon that requires certain move to evolve. These pokemon are Ambipom, Lickilicky, Tangrowth, Yanmega and Mamoswine. If any of these pokemon originally came from gen 4 (or evolved at gen 4 if theyre from gen 3 games) at level 100 and reaches Gen 7 (onward), they'll be flagged with this error: "Invalid: Moves combinations is not compatible with Ambipom evolution" the problem is not really about the move combination. if we change the met level below 100 (for example 99) it will be legal/valid pokemon. I think this is false positive flagging since we can originally move other pokemon from gen 3/4 at level 100 without this illegal flag.

ty fixed on latest commit: Update EncounterStatic3XD.cs · kwsch/PKHeX@dd1b55c

-1 is the magic number for "can be random".

If you are too specific with your request, like having 6IV adamant for a gen3 wild encounter, then it will fail to find anything. When it can't find anything to satisfy your specific request, you need to be less specific. Click the Reset button to see what an unspecified criteria is -- IVs are frequently a reason why a criteria is impossible to satisfy.

Use the Criteria tab and ensure it is filled out the way you want. Hardy is the 0th nature, and it is the default nature of the Pokémon when you launch the program. It seems you're not specifying your criteria, thus the program is always trying to match the initial default from tabs since you forgot to specify it.

Does anybody have a pokemon emerald save around halfway through the game? I've lost my save and I'm looking for a way to continue playing without restarting from scratch.

For anyone who finds this post in the future .PlusMoves=$suggestAll in the batch editor worked for me! If this helped, a like on this post will be very appreciated ^.^

Use $suggest or $suggestAll similar to the other properties that support suggestion requests

i was able to get it using the fashion editor by a way theSLAYER mentioned in a different topic open fashion -> click allinone tab -> scroll down until you see 65535 repeating -> replace the topmost 65535 value with 3021111 -> check isquipped & isowned that's what i did but idk if the value you replace matters or if there is any other check. i had already obtained every other piece of clothing/cosmetic/hair color legitmately already before doing this if that helps

Updated with Mega Dimension DLC mons, what a grind =.=

Yes, they were all random. To confirm, here is another Celebi I managed to save from the event at La Maquinista, Barcelona. My friend received it, cloned it via the good'ol box swap method, traded it to another friend, and around 2010 the battery was still alive and we copied it to a Stadium 2 cart as we knew those don't rely on save batteries, thus the extension. As stated by others, they went by consecutive IDs and on the certificate picture you can see the previous ID number imprinted, they probably had the papers on a pile and just kept writing on top. This one is 42489 and you can (kind of) read 42488 on top of it. I hope this is useful to everyone, and I also hope pkHex team updates their legality checks, as this Celebis do show problems as the data is particular: they were meant to be distributed to Gold and silver carts only, as Crystal or Stadium 2 were not released when the event took place. But The games were already finished, and the Celebi does have the tag for location and lvl encounter, set as "Event". The reason for that is that Crystal was around the corner and on those Celebi tours they let people try Stadium 2 before release, and whoever won got a Gold/Silver cart with 20 Celebi copies to dsitribute to friends, if they managed to distribute them and return the cart to Nintendo within 15 days, they would get a free copy of Crystal, thus why the Celebi is already "Crystal-formatted". Finding one of those dstribution carts intact is impossible I guess, but if anyone has any more copies of NICO, FRANCO, CTOUR or JENS Celebis please share them. The more evidence we have the better. 0251 - CELEBI - D33B.sk2

[As a disclaimer to those reading this post without reading anything before, this relates to Gen 4 and Gen 5 events] The information is known and confirmed by those in the community. In addition, while the data cannot be seen by those who attended IRL events, it matches up with the experience of those individuals that experienced it independently. (They were not able to receive wonder cards on the other language carts that they brought along). Finally, while not the same medium as local events, the same phenomenon was noticed by those that tried to redeem cross-language events online. Granted, this information is like, 10-15 years old by now, but there has been nothing to refute it. (There is a notable exception for one of the WORLDs in Gen 5, but that is about it) [In addition, I'm talking about real server and real events when it was those games' time. Not talking about fakeGTS and fake servers what not.] And to respond back to your older post (which I must have missed): yeah, region free for local is a Gen 6-8 thing. In terms of data and carts, regions didn't exist prior to Gen 6, but languages were a thing. Gen 5 events were definitely language locked (unless they specifically tried to bypass it, like one of the Worlds). If you got any kind of evidence that challenges the known information, I could look into it :3 edit: hope this helps: https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/59301-language-and-region-information-regarding-events/

Introduction Remember that feeling you had when you played G/S/C and reached the credits after beating Lance? Triumph, satisfaction... but also wondering what could be next. Then came your invitation to go to Kanto. Mind blown, a whole other region to explore after all of your travels in Johto. Looking back however, I think it's pretty safe to say that the journey there was rather uneventful and messy. Re-battling the gym leaders and seeing what became of Red and Blue was really cool, but outside of that what purpose did Kanto serve? Maybe you don't feel this way, but I do. As we get older and new games come out, our expectations for content increase and Game Freak tends to deliver (even if it means a Battle Maison here and there). In 2017, we have a wide selection of fan made games inspired by all of the beautiful work Game Freak has done over the years. A glaringly obvious trend among these games is that they're mainly in Gen 3 or made on RPG Maker. While I don't take up issue with this, I strive to build something based in Gen 5. As far as I'm aware, the only notable Gen 5 rom hacks are basically BW/B2W2 with increased difficulty and more pokemon available. I've enjoyed these, but I really am curious as to what other regions could look like with seasonal changes to boot. The Concept A few years have passed since the events of B2W2, and as such the world has changed with time. The spotlight first shines on the Orre region, which has been peaceful ever since the falling of Cipher. Mayor Trest of Phenac City contacted Gym Leader Wattson to lead a massive redesign of the region, resulting in a population increase of both humans and pokemon alike. What was once majorly a barren wasteland has benefited from environmentalists moving over from the Hoenn region and planting many trees and contributing to the ecosystem. With the help of Justy, an official Pokemon League has been established and he is its overseer. You are a student on the verge of graduating the Phenac City Trainer School, where Justy teaches you and your classmates. Since Justy doubles as the strongest Gym Leader in Orre, you've grown up inspired to be a great trainer and have witnessed countless amazing battles. Each graduates' present is a starter pokemon, and after the final ceremony you're allowed to go out and explore all of the new areas in Orre (notably the northern region above Mt. Battle). Once you've gathered all 8 Gym Badges, you gain permission to attend the Pilica Conference - a tournament with all of the other trainers who completed their gym challenge. The winner is granted permission to challenge the Elite 4 and Champion. However, when you win you will notice that you are ill prepared to take them on... so you must keep training! But where to go from here? Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova - Each of these regions will be accessible to take on the Gyms and Elite Four. Over the years, new areas have been built and the roles of familiar characters have changed. You may think you know these regions well, but this hack will give you a lot more to explore. Fiore, Almia, Oblivia - The Pokemon Ranger regions have met with an increase of pokemon trainers, and battling has popularized here to the extent of them having Pokemon Leagues too! A lot will be added/changed to these regions to better suit a pokemon trainer's journey. Holon, Skyridge, Aquapolis - These were all locations in the TCG, and Holon in particular has a lot of really interesting lore to look into. While these places don't really have official maps, I've created concept designs based on the cards depicting locations and residents. Ferrum - Pokken's story and battle stages definitely have enough of an established basis to make a region out of. The concepts shown in the game could definitely make for an interesting plot. Decolore Islands - While a very short arc in the BW anime, it's still enough to warrant a fun island chain to explore. Orange Archipelago - I'm far from the first person to want to include this in a rom hack, but with all of the extra-region inclusion, it would be odd to not add in this. Reverse/Distortion World - For every region, there is a Reverse World counterpart. I won't get into it's purpose too much as of now. On your journey, you will encounter many familiar faces from all sects on the pokemon universe - many friend, many foe. A big goal of mine is to keep it interesting the whole way through. Also, I don't have Kalos or Alola planned mainly because of alternate timeline issues and the lack of sprites in B2W2 for Gen 6/7 pokemon Features After scouring forums, I believe I've compiled a decent collection of editing tools. Now... a ton of trial and error as I learn to use them. This project is massive, especially since my knowledge on hacking minimal. But I don't care how long it takes to make this as long as the outcome is genuinely enjoyable. Below is the list of things to expect from the game. - Every region will be large, beautiful and interesting. - Lots of team options, and an easy ability to change members throughout the game. - Difficult battles - Many big subplots all supporting one storyline (This section will grow as time goes on and I get more ideas). Potential Features There are lots of features and pokemon added since Gen 5, but that's not really a focus of mine as of now. If at some point people want sprites for Gen 6/7 to be in this game and people start making them of their own volition, I'd absolutely add them in along with Fairy Typing. I imagine Terrain and Mega Evolution would be difficult to add, but if there's enough support I say let's go for it. Discussion! Below, I'd love people to share things they've wanted to see in a hack, or some concept in the pokemon universe they've wanted explored but hasn't been covered as much in the main series. This can include Spin Off games, Anime, Manga, and even the TCG. I want to gauge what people are most curious about in PokeLore. Also, if someone else voices a sentiment you agree with, feel free to say you feel the same or similar.

That's only after the USUM update. Before that, the gender of G1 Vc Mons was not decided by IVs, just randomly given, and even the shiny calculation was different. you could actually get, say, a female shiny Charizard. This is no longer possible after said update, but since it was at some point, these Mons aren't necessarily illegal.

Key items do not unlock the feature, you have to toggle event flags.

These are not legitimate. If you are going to use the hosted wondercard files then that's up to you, but please don't upload them fooling others into thinking they are valid. The Genesect you uploaded can only be obtained from a Black 2 or White 2 game (yours comes from White), and the Victini you uploaded can only be obtained with a Japanese language game (meaning the language of the Pokemon must be Japanese, yours is English). Please remove these uploads.
