Behind the scenes we are starting to prepare for a major upgrade of the forum software. More details will be shared when they're available, but one change of note relates to how you sign into your account. Currently, everyone signs in with their username and password. However, the next version requires everyone to sign in with their email and password. To limit the number of changes happening at once, we will switch to email + password sign in on September 1st. If you do not remember your email address, please make note of it in your Account Settings page. If you have any questions, please feel free to reply to this post, send me a DM, or use the Contact Us form at the bottom of the page. I would like to thank those who help us out with server costs on Patreon. However, for several months this income has not met our server costs, so unfortunately we have to bring back ads to help pay for hosting. The specifics will be fine tuned over the next few days/weeks, but anyone who's an active patron will be exempt no matter what. If you are a patron and see ads while signed in, please send me a DM either on this site, on Patreon, or with the Contact Us form at the bottom of the page. View full article

Main feature Awwww… too bad that Deoxys' stats are not recalculated after each fight like in Gen III, otherwise I would have used that. First and foremost, you have to know that the game double-checks for the 100 EV limit: the first check is triggered by the corresponding vitamin, the second check is run no matter the used vitamin. Now we choose a value to replace 64 (100) with, might as well use FC (252) for convenience's sake. Here's how you proceed to lift the limit: Decompress arm9.bin Case-by-case checks Go to offset 0×90034* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the HP Up Go to offset 0×900A0* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the Protein Go to offset 0×9010C* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the Iron Go to offset 0×9017A* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the Carbos Go to offset 0×901E8* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the Calcium Go to offset 0×90254* and change the value 64 into FC, this is the check for the Zinc * Regions' differences Language Offset 1 Offset 2 Offset 3 Offset 4 Offset 5 Offset 6 Japanese 0×8F910 0×8F97C 0×8F9E8 0×8FA56 0×8FAC4 0×8FB30 Spanish HG 0×9002C 0×90098 0×90104 0×90172 0×901E0 0×9024C Korean HG 0×90728 0×90794 0×90800 0×9086E 0×908DC 0×90948 Korean SS 0×90720 0×9078C 0×907F8 0×90866 0×908D4 0×90940 Others 0×90034 0×900A0 0×9010C 0×9017A 0×901E8 0×90254 [*]Global check Go to offset 0×90A96* and change the value 64 into FC Do the same at offset 0×90ABC* and offset 0×90AC0* * Regions' differences Language Offset 1 Offset 2 Offset 3 Japanese 0×90372 0×90398 0×9039C Spanish HG 0×90A8E 0×90AB4 0×90AB8 Korean HG 0×9118A 0×911B0 0×911B4 Korean SS 0×91182 0×911A8 0×911AC Others 0×90A96 0×90ABC 0×90AC0 Bonus feature 1: Change how many EV are given by each vitamin Open the folder a/0/1/7. The amount of EV added for one given stat W by its respective vitamin X is located at byte Y on file Z. Stat Vitamin Byte File (W) (X) (Y) (Z) HP HP Up 21 45 Attack Protein 22 46 Defense Iron 23 47 Speed Carbos 24 48 Sp.Atk. Calcium 25 49 Sp.Def. Zinc 26 52 Note: First byte is assumed to be byte 0, not byte 1. That byte always has a value of 10 (0A), it's a signed value who can subtract as much as 128 EV (80) or add as much as 127 EV (7F). We're going to change that value to one who can divide 252 (FC) while staying very close to 10 (0A). Why not 12 (0C)? But what if you want to put EV not divisible by 12 in one particular stat? Well, that's what EV-reducing Berries are for Since the Vitamins are set up to give 12 EV now, it means the modulo applied here is a modulo 12. But at Lv.100 1 point in a stat equals 4 EV, thus we have to apply a modulo 3 instead (12/4). Modulo 3 is 0 => remainder of Wanted_EV/12 is 0 => no correction needed. Modulo 3 is 1 => remainder of Wanted_EV/12 is 4 => give 2 Vitamins (+24) and then 2 EV-reducing Berries (-20). Modulo 3 is 2 => remainder of Wanted_EV/12 is 8 => give 4 Vitamins (+48) and then 4 EV-reducing Berries (-40). Don't forget this is meant as an emergency feature to give the player a mean to EV-train a Lv.100 Pokémon, hence why you are allowed to complicate the feature. Bonus feature 2: Lower the EV limit from 255 to 252 Yep, we're borrowing that feature from Gen VI. Decompress overlay9_0012.bin. Go to offset 0×EC9C* and change the value FF into FC.
