Hello, I decided to play through my Pokémon Emerald once more and decided to toy with PKHeX for the fun of it, but adding nothing broken really, just max out my starter IVs (EVs kept the same) and make it shiny.
For aesthetical beuty, I had also decided to change his met location to "(fateful encounter)" as well as mark the fateful encounter box.
However, when I returned to the game, instead of saying it was met on a fateful encounter, it just says "met somewhere at Lv...".
Now, I remember already having had this issue in not just Emerald but Ruby and Saphire as well, though in those it says instead "obtained in a trade", only FRLG seem to work right and say "Met in a fateful encounter when at Lv...".
For clarifications, I had already unlocked Mystery Gift before starting to use PKHeX, and I didn't bother with setting a valid PID, just leaving the PID that PKHex had set when I clicked the shiny button next to it, and I know that at least Emerald can show the met location as Fateful Encounter, having seen pictures as well a a friend's (legit) Jirachi with it.
Is this a situation that I need to get one legit first like the badges that have no description at first and only get it after a pokémon that has the badge is traded from Colosseum/XD? Am I doing something wrong?

That is correct it will only appear shiny in that version of the game. It’s just unfortunate that what you want cannot exist in any manner without editing the ROM.

Oh well... Guess some things are forever out of our reach for us humans... I just wanted the best for my female Feraligtr that followed me ever since I was 6... And also save all pokémons in those variations in files to keep to customize any save, but more importantly the Feraligatr that was always there for me and made Whitney a walk in the park.

But now I really am curious about the inner workings of the Gen 2 games, because I'm pretty sure there's no in-game legality check, but is there really an in-game correction to make any pokémon with max DVs a Normal-Male?

Either way, thank you for the help!

@Halier Lockehartwithout making some sort of ROM hack so that the Pokémon appears shiny on your end what you are wanting is just impossible. As you referred to in your original post you understand why they can’t be shiny so I don’t need to go into details why, but it is just impossible to get those Pokémon in gens 1 and 2.

But then, even if I get a ROM hack for that, that effect will only go for that hack, I won't be able to port that pokémon to the legitmate game and keep the effect, right?

Note: Before anyone asks, the "Male-Normal, Male-Shiny, Female-Normal and Female-Shiny" part only applies for pokémon that have such variations. Of course, pokémons that are exclusively single-gendered or genderless such as Tauros, Jinx and Mewtwo only have the Normal and Shiny variations, the four variations are only to be considered for those that do have, such as the starters.

Additionally, I know that Gender and Shiny are a thing only brought in Gen 2, however, since both Gen 1 and 2 use the same system, PKHeX acknowleges these things in a Gen 1 file, and are acknowleged in a trade from a Gen 1 game to a Gen 2 game, I would like to also try to do that with Gen 1, but I guess it's really inconsequential in Gen 1. Nonetheless, I suposse this only really matters for Gen 2, so I won't shed a tear if I can't do this in Gen 1.

Hi everyone!

I'm on a special project of creating all pokémons and their variations (Male-Normal, Male-Shiny, Female-Normal and Female-Shiny) with their "best" builds (done by me) and maximum stats on all generations (and saving them all in individual files), and after being done with Gen 3, 4 and 5 with PKHeX, I'm now working in Gen 1 and 2.

I don't really care about legality since their purpose is for just some "casual" fun with friends, not online nor anything else, I'll be lending my games for them, so they'll also be into it fully aware.

Only now have I realized that there appears to be no way, be it in PKHeX or PKGen or any other editor, to edit an individual pokémon's pokéathlon stats or anything related to Pokéathlon for that matter, and for someone who desires to have all pokémons with max stats and MAX% all Pokémon games in the near future, that really is bothering me.

I know the stats are saved in the specific pokémon, despite being a lot of variables out of a editor's control such as current day that also affects the stats somewhat, and I believe that the medals and records are saved in the save, since the medals go for the species of the winner pokémon and records are just records.

Is there anyway, in October of 2021, to edit these things, in preference as a PKHeX plugin or any way that I can edit a bunch of .pk4 files in bulk like I can in the PKHeX batch editor?

Or is someone at least working on a way? Because I must say I'm quite surprised the after 11 years there appears to be no editor for that...

Either way,
Thank you all for your attention!

Introductions done with, I have run into quite a problem with both Gen 2 and 1. As you all can already tell, I have not yet found any way to have shinies and females (and female shinies for that matter) with maximum DVs like their normal-males counterparts.

I know that using the illigal mode on PKHeX allows me to directly edit their stats, but this only works if you keep the pokémon in the party, if you put in the box it will reset to the expected result of DV and EV. Not only that but PKHeX (or any other save editor which I know of, such as Pikasav) does not allow me to make a Female-shiny variation of pokémons such as the Starters or Eevee because o their gender disposition.

I really would love, with all my heart and soul, to have all variations of every pokémon in these generations just like I did with Gen 3~5. So I come here in all humbleness, to request for any help necessary to fulfill this dream of mine, pokémon legality is no issue for me, as long as this can be achieved.

Thank you all for your attention :)
