Just for anyone not aware yet, the Nintendo WFC, which was shut down in 2014, is accessible WITHOUT USING ANY HACKS in generation 4 and 5 pokemon games (other games as well) using Wiimmfi and other custom servers. Here is the tutorial on how to connect: Video Tutorial Here is the invite link to the Pokemon Generations 4 & 5 Custom Wi-fi Servers discord: Discord Server Invite

Introduced in the middle of February 2020, Pokémon HOME allows for importing from Bank and Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee, and bi-directional connectivity to Sword & Shield & future titles. When a Pokémon is transferred from Bank or Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee or their games of origin into HOME, it is assigned a unique 64 bit number to differentiate it from other uploads stored on the cloud server. Pokémon that have not yet visited HOME do not yet have a HOME tracker. Pokémon that are traded in-game (online/local trades) do not get assigned a tracker. Pokémon that must travel thru HOME to reach the game it resides on must have a HOME tracker (origin->current). Pokémon that are uploaded in the same batch are not guaranteed to have a similar tracker (sometimes incremental). Pokémon that are missing a HOME tracker that should have one, or have a fake one, are rejected for upload (error 10015). Trackers are only a concern in PK8+ formats. Pokémon that aren't yet in the PK8+ (2019) do not have a field for this data. What exactly is this value be used for? Storing data for each game visited outside of HOME (ex. SW/SH, PLA, BD/SP, S/V...) Tracking how Pokémon are traded between users. Detecting if a Pokémon has been modified/cloned from the original upload. Detecting if a Pokémon is newly entered into the HOME system (having a value of zero). HOME trackers will be changed each upload, so a tracker value is not a permanent value. Only HOME can determine if a tracker value is valid. Best practice is to let the server assign you a tracker, rather than assigning a blatantly wrong tracker. For local/online gameplay, GameFreak does not check this metadata, so having arbitrary/lacking tracker values does not matter. Validating a HOME tracker requires API access to HOME, and is not something the hacking community will ever have access to. GameFreak does not validate HOME trackers for online play, but for officially sanctioned VGC events, they do -- you shouldn't be using hacked Pokémon in tournaments anyway (against our rules). Due to the described behavior, here are our recommendations: When creating new Pokémon that are from generations prior to Sword & Shield, transfer into HOME via Bank first. When creating new Pokémon that reside in their game of origin, leave the tracker blank. When creating new Pokémon that reside in a game different from their origin set, generate them in their game of origin then transfer. When modifying any (that have already visited HOME) immutable values (PID, IVs, etc), zero out the tracker then transfer starting from their origin games. Why not create a random tracker value? Again, only HOME can determine if a tracker value is valid. HOME will check tracker values to see if the details match the original upload (modified data). HOME will check tracker values to see if the details are on another user's account (cloned data). HOME will disallow uploads if the tracker doesn't match the data on their server (error code 10015). Uploading to HOME without a tracker value will automatically assign a new one (note: only when entering from their native games). You can receive Pokémon that lack a tracker value from other players via trade (in addition to a game's natives). Using an invalid tracker may fool checking tools (like PKHeX) that do not have access to HOME's API, but can still be checked by trying to upload to HOME manually. Do not be deceitful. PKHeX's default settings are to require tracker values (should be on every non-Gen8 origin Pokémon that is residing in Gen8+, etc), but has a toggle setting to opt-out of strict checking. This is to allow users to create the most-legal data without forging an INVALID tracker value, for in-game play.

Hey so a lot of people have over the years asked me about my save files and some of them have been made obsolete/deprecated. I had a lot of time this year to fix/polish some of my older save files, and then I got overwhelmed with all of the Pokemon files on my Desktop so I'm just going to dump all of what I have into a zip file and make it public for all of you to use. Some Pokemon players want to own every single Pokemon and have it be the best version it can possibly be (competitive movesets, shiny, events, pokerus, all ribbons, etc etc), so ever since 2015 I decided to take this to the max and basically "max out" the game for every version from Gens 1 all the way to the games today. The challenge is making sure the Pokemon has that "green checkmark" on PKHeX (which has been made a lot easier thanks to the many updates Kaphotics has made over the years). What I am attaching is years of work, some of which has been borrowed or taken from various other places, but I try my best to credit the Smogon community, Kaphotics, ProjectPokemon's database, Gridelin, etc etc but there is honestly a lot of stuff on here that it's too much for me to really document in depth... so the best thing I can do is tell you to read the ReadMe and view the "Mainstream Media" folder which should contain save files for each generation. (Sorry for the weird nicknames lol. The reason for that is because 3DS games can only have "main" without a file extension, so I needed to give random nicknames to differentiate them and it would be weird for some of those files to have ".dsv" at the end so I just decided to make them all extensionless but PKHeX should still be able to read them all). So that's about it. I really hope you all enjoy these saves... I share them to you for the love of the game. I want you to know that I do not condone cheating - these saves are purely for casual play/fun and mildly interesting purposes. I hope I am not breaking any rules by sharing my saves (again, some of these are derivative and most of the stuff in the Supplementary folder are just dumps of whatever backup files I had). Let me know if you have any questions and if you need me to take this down for any reason then I certainly will comply. Sincerely, isleep2late isleep2late's 8 Gen Gem.rar

thanks for your help and yeah it was yust the wrong main
