Obtaining TID/SID for games. For encounters that originate from Violet, they should have Violet trainer data, and not reuse the Scarlet trainer data (with a changed Version value). To obtain an encounter from a given Version, you should have trainer data available for that Version. Otherwise ALM will fabricate it by reusing TID/SID and changing Version. Reusing trainer data is not legal. Correct.

Can you? Sure. But anyone who looks at your data will immediately know it's not legitimate -- TID/SID is 1-4billion odds to get the exact same. Players have been disqualified from VGC because they reused trainer data across versions. So the real question, should you? No. If you want something to be as legal as possible, then you shouldn't be taking shortcuts only possible via cheating. Get a legitimate trainer for the version you want. Trade bots can dump pkm files, and trade bots can trade pkm files. Trade bots can also generate if you provide trainer data via their request formats.

hmm? the size of the new file in the emulator's battery folder should have changed, tho.

Thanks, that seems to have worked, even though the file size remains unchanged.

1. Keep a backup of the original save (in a completely different folder, I may add) 2. Change the save size on your emulator settings. 3. Launch the game now (It might not read the old save. If so, use the import save or import battery option, and import the save from 1. above. Then soft reset.)
