Hello,
I've been restoring some old save files that I had lying around on a USB stick, i believe i had deleted them once before and restored them via EASE US. and I noticed that one of my save files (Shining Pearl) has some strange encounters. It's a save file from the beginning of the game (the town with the professor), and when I enter and leave the professor's building, Roark pops up from the underground, congratulating me for defeating the Elite Four and also the National dex is unlocked. Obviously, this is not possible at this point in the game, and it was not like this when i exported the save file, so I suspect my save might be corrupted.
Is there a way to check this? While this particular save file doesn't matter much, I do care about the other games, though I haven't encountered any strange behavior in them so far.
When I open the file in PKHeX, it loads fine, but when I click "Verify Checksums," I receive the message "MD5 Hash Invalid." Does this mean the file is corrupted?
Thanks for your help!
I have attache the file in case someone wants to take a look
