I think I get it, thanks.

Greetings. I searched the PKHex tutorial and the FAQ on this forum, but couldn't find anything on this. Is there a tutorial or basic information on the encounter database and how that works?

Yeah it is INSANE the difference in price between some of the old US games and their Japanese counterparts on eBay.

That's OK. Interesting to know about the old sea map. If i could read Japanese, I think I'd get that cart just to do this!

Has anyone found any of the rock throw Omanyte/Kabuto/Aerodactyl that they gave away in February 2003 in NYC? Or are they lost to time?

You can do that? Just get the mew on a Japanese Emerald cart, and trade it to a US cart? And it just shows up in English? innnnnteresting. Does it get flagged? Is it legal for Pokémon home?

Perfect. I can absolutely work with that. Thank you.

Greetings fine people! I'm currently playing my way through the Pokemon series. My rough plan is to play the games on Retroarch (because I loves me some achievements, then transfer my saves to my physical cartridges (I've got the necessary adapters and software), and to transfer the Gen 1 & 2 saves to 3DS VC using Checkpoint and the save converter. I'm curious about one thing, however. It's my understanding that the VC version of Crystal allows for an end-game event in which you can capture Celebi; and that this event was present in the original Japanese version of the game, but not the American version. If I were to play the American version of the game in RA, then transfer the save to the VC version; would I still be able to trigger the event in VC? Would I need to set a flag in PKhex, or would it just naturally be available? Or would the save file being from the OG American version just screw me? As always, thanks in advance.

Like I said, I haven't put it in anything. I downloaded it from the site and added it to the pkmn database in PKhex, where it's flagged as illegal. It's not coming from anything. I even have the "default game" set to Pokemon Red.

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts. When you start a new generation of Pokemon, do you trade all your Pokemon from previous generations and just catch the new ones? Or do you catch everything all over again, trading up only Pokemon not naturally available in the new generation?

I haven't put them into anything. They're showing illegal in PKHex

Anyone know why all the Gen1 Mews from the site (like this guy) are flagged as illegal in PKHex?

Ahhh. Makes sense. I guess it's not that big a deal. I'm playing through the games in order, so I'm a long way away from having to worry about uploading it to the bank; and even then I'll probably just leave this one and bring forward the Pikachu from Yellow. Haven't completely figured out what I'm going to do as far as my livingdex yet. Hopefully it will get fixed in a future update. I've got plenty of time. Thanks!

Here you go. Like I said, I haven't touched this one, so I can't imagine why it'd suddenly be flagged... 025 - PIKACHU - 5231.pk1

I opened my save in Pokehex; as I've done numerous times, and suddenly it's flagging my Pikachu as illegal. It says invalid: Unable to match encounter from origin game. This particular mon was caught in this save legit, and hasn't been touched in anyway. Why would that particular one be illegal?
