Nobody does ^^ But fun facts it looks like even marketing stuff ignored that it was Necrozma and not Solgaleo/Lunala forms.

I had mentioned this last week and wanted to report back with my findings. So when trying to receive the Hoenn Cap Pikachu with my backup save before the Original Cap was received, with edited TID/SID/G7ID/OT, it was still staying I had already received the gift. What finally allowed me to receive Hoenn Cap Pikachu was editing the Game Sync ID. And for what it's worth, I never used Game Sync with this game.

I decided to make a quick video and guide on how to compile PKHeX since most of the guides or "tutorials" I see out there are either outdated or way too complicted for the average user that just wants to quickly get the latest version of PKHeX. I know when I first started to get into the compiled versions of PKHeX, I had so much trouble getting things to work. Ill also include a video I just made explaining it too. 1. Go and download Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 Here: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ 2. Install and make sure Microsoft VS opens properly (you may need the latest .NET installed) 3. go to https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX and download the latest master 4. Unzip the "PKHeX-master" folder from the zip you just downloaded and open "PKHeX.sln" 5. click on "Build" and then "Build Solution" 6. Make Sure it Says that 0 Failed. If any Files Fail to Build I Would Just Retry Step 5 7. Go back to the "PKHeX-master" Folder from Earlier and Enter (PKHeX.WinForms>>bin>>Debug) If Everything Worked you Should see All of the PKHeX Files in this Folder. (You Only Need the PKHeX Program (the one with the PKHeX Logo) and the PKHeX.Core.dll File. The Rest of the "PKHeX-master Folder Can be Deleted. Congrats! You Just Learned How to Compile PKHeX. If You Need Any More Clarification Just Check Out My Video Tutorial Above. View full tutorial

According to Serebii: Look out for these specially marked boxes if interested: As for me, I don't care about this.

This is great! I love the fact that Retron can extract saves and later import them!

Yes I didn't edit it, that is why I posted this. I just opened my vanilla HG file and thought about reporting it.

Yeah, I typically edit TID/SID/Game Sync ID, if I wanna rerun codes for screenshots. I've yet to isolate whether editing only 1 is sufficient. (I usually zero out the game sync ID, and let the server re-give me one)

If I'm remembering correctly.... Yeah, they have server side verification. I can't speak for Wifi or in-life events, but for serial codes, they definitely do. If you want all the pikachu, you will need to make dummy profiles. For a personal example, I input a pikachu serial code (which was not a universal one since I was doing the Japanese event) and got a strange error message ("The gift was not there.") When I tried to claim it on another game (as I wasn't 100% positive if I could claim a second pikachu on the JP games since they were unique codes), it told me the serial code was already used. Trying it again on the first game got the redemption to work. Even though it failed the first time, the code was registered to that game. It's not a game synced game, so it's looking at the OT/TID/SID or something.

Can confirm this works on Sun and Moon as well (I knew it would, but just confirming that it in fact does). the garc for SuMo is located at a/1/3/7. Just replace all instances of that code once again with 0's (including the "E0 01 07" bit). If you're doing a Ctrl + F or Search and Replace, I would start off with "C0" rather than the bunch of 00 00's. There are only 14 iterations of that code, which is very very unusual because there were 29 instances in ORAS and a different amount in BW2. So I guess the moral of the story is that it's all encrypted, and there is no rhyme or reason to the "number of banned pokemon" to the number of banned code reptitions. I've made a video demonstration on my channel which I will not share in this post, but here is some additional photographic proof: Next step: Edit number of pokemon and pokemon level! lol jk... Also for what it's worth, the file size in ORAS is 33 kb whereas for SuMo it's 29 kb (and it's 8 kb in Gen 5 for comparison even though i know NDS is different). I think that's rather interesting, and sheds some light into the structure of the ways these garcs are organized. Another interesting tidbit: Neither of these banlist garc locations were figured out during the initial decryption phase of R&D. In ORAS, the garc was labeled a\1\7\0 - 53 * 604 bytes Battle Video Info Markup Template from this pastebin uploaded by Kaphotics and it was labeled a\1\3\7 - com_seasand02 02_beachslope from this GBATemp repost by BelmontSlayer. I would be interested to know if a/1/7/0 does still contain a Battle Video Template, because I wasn't sure if each garc did only one specific thing or if they could do multiple things. But anyway, thank you so much Kaphotics for your help and ABZB for all your contributions! I know a lot of people have been asking about this and I'm glad the community can finally put this issue to rest. BTW, I still don't have it for X and Y and I'm not sure if anyone wants it for X/Y. I won't waste time finding the garc for XY unless someone wants me to (or you can just do it yourself )

I can not participate in the event at all. I am on a business trip in China. I asked my sister, but she refused my request because she had a different schedule during that period.
