My guess for TID is likely 170715. And maybe "이브이프렌즈" as the OT.

Update! Ho-oh added!

Oh, so they finally released it for NA. We've had no sign of the other shiny Tapus being released tho, do you think they're gonna be available at some point? or was Koko just a special case for being the most "prominent" one?

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.

Yeah, it'll be right to not count the VC games, I guess. Also, more images!

You should try a VBA (Visual Boy Advance) emulator, you can use any version you want (google it and you will instantly find many downloads). As for the save format, my file is 128 kb raw save format (.sav). VBA can open it with no problems. The thing in my previous post that you didn't understand, refers to other save files that you can find online, which are in different save format (.sps). It has nothing to do with my save file. To make things easier to you, just search for VBA 1.8.0. After you download it, open it and run your emerald ROM (file > open). To play with my save file, go to (file > import > battery file) and select the save file. You are done ! I hope this will help you ! Unfortnately, I have never used those omline emulators you use, so I cannot help you play the save on them. However, I believe that VBA is one of the best emulators out there, so I directly point you down to it.

Wow, did you reply to a post from a month ago? lol. In any case, One needs to understand that the data are shuffled based one for blocks, G,A,E,M, And how those blocks are shuffled are determined by the PID that Pokemon has (and PID data isn't encrypted)

US and EU ones are the same

Just watch the video I linked...

Dump game with GodMode9 (trimmed) ->extract contents with HackingToolkit3DS or .NET 3DS Toolkit -> Make edits -> Rebuild a .3DS with 3DS Builder -> Convert .3DS to CIA with 3DS Simple CIA Converter -> Install I can't replicate your issue so it's something you're editing that's invalid... make sure you're using the latest commit.

Your method of dumping/repacking is definitely the issue, as I've rebuilt a Pokemon Y CIA no problem just a few days ago. Follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvpH_2QBa90

Anytime @coltonsmogon!

Thanks, @jasenyoface.

Receiving Video with Choo-Choo Train Sound FX. XD

Just collected mine.

This picture seems to be the best visual representation of the Pokémon file structure. Link

Can't replicate. That's your problem. Once rebuilt as a CIA, just install; don't re-encrypt it.
