Hi Cody .

I've just finished to check your pokemon, there are some issues :

1) You've to set the location where the pokemon is hatched "Met at Level" at 0, not 1.

2) I've suggest you to correct the base happiness of your pokemon, you can set it base or above or max, what you want

3) You cannot breed Heatran, so you've to find a right PID that match with IVs you choose. Anyway it must be Type 1, so Normal DS or GBA

4) Machamp with No Guard must be Class 2

5) You've to correct the met/hatch date, if is the same day/month/year it's fine and better. Since Platinum has been released in March 22, it's better to set an April date. And, since it's almost impossible breed fine pokemon like those all in one day... make a different day for each one

6) Are you going to take part in some tourney with this team ? What is Pokemon VGC ? If so you've to do other 2-3 adjustments (with trash bytes and Pokesav traces) to make them 100% legal.

EDIT = Oh, VGC is Video Game championship, well, then like i've explained in the post number 6 you've to do the following things :

A) Go to Eterna City and nickname your pokemon (but Heatran since it's a Legendary and will not have trash bytes), then renickname them to their original base name. So trash bytes will be resetted, having a nicknamed Pokemon with original name inputted. This is the fastest way. Xeomyr has explained well this in his thread, and with his method you can fix trash bytes just making to hatch egg pokemon in game or knowing their normal trash bytes and fix them on pokesav. Both methods work. And here you'll be fine.

B) Then you've to trade these Pokemon to a Diamond/Pearl version and takin'em back. If you've have whatever problem to do it you can just deposit each one on GTS and then take them back off. This method is to clean the pkm file and erase the traces pokesav sometime leaves (that can be detected).

After these steps your pokemon will be legal.

May i suggest you to normalize the ivs of Gengar and Infernape ? You can run hp ice with some lower iv too. I think 3 ivs at 31 (sometime 4) max are the normality for an expert breeder. On Smogon we can see some flawless pokemon, but it's better to fly low . For Heatran 2 ivs at 31 max are fine, not more.

Let us know.

Could i ask why is it a hack ? The class is right . See here

Idd, btw seems at the tourneys the item traces weren't traced. It would be more simple try to not modify them eheh , or delete and rebuy.

I only use AR Codes on my cartridge, so i never edited an extracted from it with pokesav, guess you should tell us more about with a try

Let us know about the save files. We know pkmn files are safe, for the save it's all open to discuss

For the pokemon you can solve the problem with the method explained above and you'll be fine, if they're already legal. For the items we don't know, but you could just delete them to stay safe, and try to get the undeletable items in-game and through normal events

Eehehe indeed you receive a new file of your pokemon after you takin' back. Btw, for the sav file it's all possible , like you've said. Using a cloning/fast hatch/TM/HM/Pokedex code is not a great deal. Our pkm file are fine.

I had your same doubt about the GTS transfer when, receivin' back my infernape (legal), i've seen its happiness was the same. Then i've heard about what informations the game saves and what are removed from the game , and then rewrite when the file is taken from the nintendo servers.

I've discussed a lot with Preston about this question.

I'm going to quote you the main reason to clarify your doubts.

I think explaining how the gts works will help clear things up.

Once you put a Pokemon up for trade, your game saves the following info about the Pokemon:

Species, Nickname, Happiness, and Item. The rest of your Pokemon's data is erased off your game at this point.

Example:

I have an Onyx nicknamed Rocky. His happiness is 207, and he is holding a Metal Coat.

Once I put him up for trade, my game instantly saves this data for future reference:

Onyx|Rocky|(Trash Bytes)|207|Metal Coat

The game then removes the Pokemon from your file.

All of your Pokemon's other information was sent on the GTS to one of Nintendo's Servers. Their Server now has your Pokemon.

Once you bring your Pokemon back off the gts, (Here's the key point!) Your game has to Re-Create the pkm file. Since your game remade the pkm file, it will only contain the information the game normally uses. Since the game doesn't use the extra 00's PokeSav rarely leaves behind, they won't be there when the Pokemon is Re-Created.

So the happiness has nothing to do with the traces sometimes left behind by PokeSav.

I'll also explain real quick how trading fixes things too.

When you trade Pokemon from game to game, the information is all synchronized and compact. Your game (D/P) only sends and receives the necessary information about the Pokemon, leaving the traces (if any) of PokeSav behind.

I'm not sure, but Platinum may accept the traces, (once again if any) so it would be safest to go from Platinum to D/P, and back. Since D/P won't accept the traces, it essentially "cleans" the Pokemon. Since D/P didn't record the PokeSav traces, they won't be on the Pokemon once you trade back to Platinum.

I hope this helps and it wasn't too confusing lol

After this, pokemon become undetectable (if it was already 1000% LEGAL) and pass the tourneys hack check too.

Btw it's your good heart and discretion to decide whether to present you with them or not .

NP, thx to you

No. Heracross can have two abilities, Swarm and Guts.

You can see here

Like you can see in the article : Swarm is Ability 0, so Class 1 in pokesav, and Guts is ability 1, Class 2 .

If a Pokemon can have only one ability, then either class work.

It's hacked. It seems legal, but it can't, since Swarm is Class 1 and not 2.

You can make it legal changing Class 2 in Class 1 in Generate.

That's probably was an egg made with pokesav, but it has missed attention on the class eheh

I don't think. Maybe yes, but it's not a legal Pokemon if you don't edit it like i've said above

For the ability i give you an example :

Some pokemon have 2 abilities.

Scizor is a pokemon can have 2 abilities, Swarm and Technician.

It can has only 1 obviously

You can read the abilities here.

Swarm is ability 0, and this is Class 1 in Pokesav, (and ability 1 on Legality checker).

Technician is ability 1, so Class 2 on Pokesav, (and ability 2 on Legality Checker).

Does the Hex values have to be like that with all pokemon, or does it vary?

No, they change, since a non bred platinum pokemon has only the 46h and 85h as active hex values . And a value on any single hex depends from the number of met/caught place of any single pokemon, number that come up translated in an hexadecimal value.

Diamond and Pearl pokemon have only the 85h value as active

It's a decent pokesaved pokemon but :

1) Class is wrong, it must be class 2 with technician

2) It has to have a base happiness of 70

3) The most important thing : it needs to set the hex values, since you'va made a platinum pokemon. So 44h = D0, 45h = 07, 46h = 04 and 85h = 00.

And remember to go to the nickname rater to Eterna City to fix the trash bytes, nicknaming the pokemon and nicknaming back to its original name . in this way trash bytes will be correct, since it will be like to have a nicknamed pokemon but with base name.

Otherwise you can follow the Xeomyr thread too for the trash bytes, so you'll not have the problem of nickname it

And to make it 101% legal, trade it to Diamond or Pearl, or put it in GTS and just take it back off, that's to erase the traces pokesave leave sometime.

Then it will be fine, and you too

Ah, and a little suggest. Since this pokemon will look as a legit pokemon you could set some human IVs, a breed of a 3 stats of 31 IVs is fine, 4 too

Totodile i guess

And if I do some changes in the itens of my bag like: TM's, Ball.... it leave traces?

Or even if i change my OT or SID, it leave trances in my save file too?

Or pokésav only leave trance when you do a pokémon in the box's? And only in the pokémon that you made, who you can trade to erase this traces?

That's doesn't matter. When you put a pokemon on GTS and takin' it back the file is rewrite, and is right, so you'll not have the traces left from pokesav, since they're not used in game. And for trade is the same.

Idd that's impossible. Nintendo has always wanted to promote an international communication . My idea would be to buy a DSi here in Italy and an US version of this game, like 've done with platinum, that's why I was worried

Some site reported Nintendo DSi-only cartridges too (over the software and the downloadable content) as region locked. Like here. But i guess it's an old article

Uhm, so i guess a Japan version of this game can be read on a US DSi... because some forum/article said the opposite ._.

I started with Pokemon FireRed, I don't know anything about Johto. I really hope that:

This is NOT DSiware download game.

I own only a DS Lite, I don't need more.

I hope too, since i'd like to buy the italian DSi and the english version of the game (like i've done with platinum) instead of the italian, and some possible DsiWare downloadable would be sad and bad

LoL cool, and this explain the reason why GTS, PBR, VS Recorder and Nintendo Tourneys don't check, or can't check, them. They appears as a normal nicknamed pokemon, but with their original nicknames. So we don't have the legality problem, and trash bytes are fixed, or faked if we want be precise .

Thx for the explanation

Guess this thread must be sticked up

Nice, but what happen when i renick it as Venusaur ? Will the trash bytes be

40 01 2F 01 38 01 3F 01 3D 01 2B 01

3F 01 3C 01 FF FF FF FF 28 3B

or

40 01 2F 01 38 01 3F 01 3D 01 2B 01

3F 01 3C 01 FF FF 00 00 00 00

or whatever ?

I'm worred because i've made about 40 legal pokemon, all nicknamed and then renicknamed as original at nickname rater, passed on GTS to erase the pokesav traces etc, so i don't know if i've to delete them and make again

Guess it's the same problem of all people have made legal hatched till now wihout know well this method

These are the trash bytes of my legal hatched Venusaur made with pokesav :

40 01 2F 01 38 01 3F 01 3D 01 2B 01

3F 01 3C 01 FF FF 00 00 00 00

I haven't nicknamed/renicknamed it yet. Since i use AR codes to come up the pokemon in game i don't know how will be the trash bytes after i've nicked/renicked back it... What happens ?

Something is unclear, if i make an hatched pokemon (a lvl 100 pokemon fully evolved) and renick it to the nickname rater with a 2-3-4 or 7 letters nick, like AAAAA, and then i renick it to is species name, what happen to its trash bytes ? Will be they correct/fixed like till now has been said on this site ?

So is enough nick/renick to its original name an hatched pokemon to correct its trash bytes ? Like we've always done till now i hope :=)

Well, so we're going good when we make a legal hatched pokemon and nickname (with 10 or less letters)/renickname back to its original name at Eterna City from the nickname rater, no ? Or have we to do any other thing when we nick/renick them ? Don't let us some doubt lol

Isn't more simple make a Legal hatched pokemon ? Since PID doesn't match the ivs for hatched/shiny hatched
