While this is an interesting discussion and I personally would like to see a 10anniv multiboot distro in the wild, I can understand that users who purchased them have the liberty to decide whether or not they'll like to release it. When it comes to scammers and cheaters when there's a means, there's a way. If we don't release it, someone else likely will, so we may as well do it properly. We have pkhex here, despite not wanting people to cheat online, and one can argue that without pkhex, there may not be rampant cheating, but someone else (prime example is Datel, and eventually others came along) will likely find a way. Back to eBay, scammers online will remain a constant, whether they have the distribution unit or not. They just grab files, produce bootlegs and sell. While it totally sucks to be scammed, consumers really should do their research first, since scammers already exist. This thread isn't the right place for this discussion, and while discussions of roms in the past were much more strictly enforced, I believe that as long as the distribution of said material isn't within the walls of our forums or directly linked, it probably won't be a problem. If anyone wants to continue this discussion regarding whether distro units or saves should be dumped to the wild, at least do it at another thread, as this thread originally is regarding the Mews.

I'll be paying serious money for any and all carts that I buy in the future as well. I don't care about the perceived value of something in somebody elses collection or the value to some seller. Information should be free and public. Any and all distribution devices I ever buy, I will be making public. The only reason I haven't dumped my DS distribution carts is because I currently do not have the means to do so. I have massive respect for Metropolis both for their Gen 1-3 conversion tool as well as their offer to dump the modified ROM. If they spent a ton of money on it and care about the value, that's their business. I'll be spending whatever it takes to get one of these ROMs and dumping it no matter what. That's been my plan since I first learned about them in 2012. The only thing I care about is preservation. If it's the real thing or a 20$ cart. I guess we will have to find out. As for making it public. I can't control what scumbags do on Ebay or uneducated people buy on that website. They should do research before buying something like that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it already clarified (back in that thread) that you're selling the actual carts you obtained, as opposed cloning roms onto writable carts/bootlegs? I think when "scammers" were being mentioned, we're talking about scenarios where people say bootlegged copies of something that already exists in the public online, or cloning personal copies, and from what I understood, you don't fit those criteria. Whoever PMed you on eBAY seems to have overreacted or misunderstood the scenario. Back to the matter at hand, perhaps knowing the seed that 10anniv calls for RNG and stats generation will be a good place to start.

Apart from the fact that doing so would be devastating to people like Metropolis who paid serious money for the distribution system, all 10ANNIV distribution carts (carts, not devices) that have appeared on ebay over the years are custom flashed ROMs into Nintendo dev carts. What I'm saying here is that if you have just the cartridge from the event, the chances are it contains a modified ROM that distributes legit 10ANNIV events and not the ROM untouched. There are some collectors who buy cheap Nintendo dev/prototype cartridges, like a dev cart for an unfinished Catwoman demo for example, for ~$20 and they flash rarer ROMs into these carts and sell them online for 10x prices. This piece of information comes from collectors of the AssemblerGames forums. Last but not least, making a ROM like that public, would have the same results on the ebay world as the Mystry Mew saves did. Casual eBayers who have no idea what Project Pokemon is as a site, would have no idea if they bought public or not distro devices.

Here's a threat on Digiex that has saves with at least one ROCKS Metang (and a bunch of other events, including various 10ANIV ones) that HaxAras has been helping with: http://digiex.net/downloads/download-center-2-0/nintendo-game-boy-content-gb-gbc-gba/save-games/14690-pokemon-gen3-legit-event-pokemon-save-ruby-sapphire-emerald-firered-leafgreen.html Direct Link to Latest Saves: http://digiex.net/attachments/downloads/download-center-2-0/nintendo-game-boy-content-gb-gbc-gba/save-games/15053d1479696106-pokemon-gen3-legit-event-pokemon-save-ruby-sapphire-emerald-firered-leafgreen-pokemon-fire-red-gen3-legit-event-pokemon-20-11-16.zip

I've been told to come here by a user who contacted me on ebay and explain once again. But I feel like I already have a few months ago: Message: Response: There are several other messages after that. In short, I don't sell carts that I've modified, I bought them all just like I sell them. If anyone doubted me because of the decchi file, it is all explained in those pages, and Purin got mails proving that I was scammed So I learned that carts can be modified, but I don't have any equipment to do this. To be honest, after learning that, I really started thinking I was scammed even when I bought the lot of carts, since it seems that in case you have the right nintendo equipment you can do wonderds with it. I called the guy after that discussion, but nothing came out of the convo. I spent much more than I got by selling a few carts in the past few years, and to my knowledge none of the carts are fake but the azure flute one that I binned months ago. I got a loan in order to buy all those carts when I did and I'm still paying money, that's why I sell some sometimes. Prices are not even the ones I listed, it's mostly just to show off, receive offers and talk about other distributions with other people. I don't sell every time, and usually when people contact me we just end up talking about interesting pokemon stuff, and I enjoy that. I'm done talking about this and I don't think I'll keep reading this convo unless someone points it at me again... You can believe they are fake because they do not come with the system. I do own a few of those distribution systems ( quite a few were sold years ago on nintendoage. Shiny Zigzagoon, Aurora EUR, 10ANNIV, Aura Mew) and it doesn't take much to take the cart out of them. And the guy who sold them to me who I personally met to buy the carts didn't look like a scammer to me. And I'm also almost done selling my spare carts, so I won't be called a scammer anymore. Hope you all guys have great holidays.

I've been wondering. I'm assuming you have a program to sort through them all. Would you happen to be able to separate them from the rest and put them on their own save? I was interested in trying to find all of the unique mews and separating them but with hundreds of Mew, that would take forever without a program or help.

I do have a 10 anniv distribution cart! I got it way back in 2011-2012 on a nintendo forum like this, and I thought I was the first or one of the first to get one. It came with a red gba that I ended up selling years ago to a fellow nintendo collector. I kept the cart ( which initially couldn't be taken out due to a metal device not allowing me to. After a few minutes' job I took it out without any harm to the cart) and to my surprise ( at the time) it had no labels on it besides that japanese standard label on gba prototypes, and I have another of it of some disney game that I got in a trade a long time ago. They are identical, both 128mbit. I tried to overwrite the disney game but I had no luck with any device, including a ds flashcart and some softwares. So I don't think it's doable without proper official nintendo equipment, which I have never seen in the "nintendo" forums or ebay market I remember wanting so bad to inject a pokemon hackrom in there so I could make a great april's fool to a fellow pokemon collector friend, pretending it was a real nintendo proto. I lost all my hopes when I found out I couldn't do it without an official nintendo unit @theSLAYER Sorry, I didn't read your post. I'll leave the discussion to mew. So are the files legit or not?

14 - Gen V - BW Collection: Complete! Will probably find time to go through some GBA events that I have yet to add before starting on B2W2, folder's still a huge mess.

PKHex keeps stating that goomy with counter is illegal for sun and moon prior hex when its possible to get counter on goomy in game legally. Its a chain breeding process: 1)Capture a Rhyhorn on Sunday through island scan 2)Get a Mudsdale and level it up level 42 this is when it learns Counter 3)Capture a Axew via Island scan 4)Breed Rhyhorn and Mudsdale to pass Counter as an egg move on a baby Rhyhorn 5)Breed the Baby Rhyhorn with Axew to create a Baby Axew with Counter 6)Breed a Goomy with a Axew with Counter 7)Goomy with Counter = Legal Sources: http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/qrscanner.shtml http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/egg/704.shtml#counter http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/egg/610.shtml http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/egg/111.shtml Please update accordingly

Thank you for what you've offered to do. Just letting you know now though. I'm in the process of getting one of these myself and the very moment it's in my hands, I will be dumping it and making the entire thing public.

For public, dump and extract the rom, modify various areas that won't impact the distribution system such as maps (remove or add), other text (that's primarily unused), hex edit certain areas to make certain that it's your copy, change the header or ID (if applicable).

I want what preserves these events in the best way for both sides. I mean, I get the whole "rare collectible" aspect behind the actual distro cart, but I don't feel that alone should keep the people wanting uncloned legal versions of these Event Pokemon from getting them. Now don't get me wrong, having access to the actual distro ROM would be amazing, but I'd be perfectly fine with a custom distro program that generates these events in the exact same way the official distro cart does (same generation algorithm and same method of sending data to the games, which I believe was the Multiboot method). Naturally other methods would be cool too (DS and/or GameCube/Wii homebrew, like what suloku developed for the Gen 3 ticket events). Of course, the distro ROM I'd really love access to is a Gen 3 Wonder Card one. It wouldn't matter if it was the official or a reverse engineered one, having a way to distribute Gen 3 Wonder Cards the exact way done in the original events (instead of the "share Wonder Cards using the With Friends option" method we have to make do with) is something I've wanted to be able to do ever since the DS Deoxys distro ROM got dumped and modified back in 2008.
