Hi,
bumping this.
My problem is slightly different though. My unedited Pokémon Box save won't show my Pokémon anymore (like OP's first method), but when I export it and load into PKHex, they are all there. My guess is that my 20 year old memory card probably corrupted the save. Is there any way to salvage my old mons?
Edit:
I found a way to salvage them:
Save the save as a file, open that file with PKHex and export the boxes with PKHex.
Then I would save ingame with empty boxes which fixed the checksum. Export that save.
Afterwards load the boxes I previously exported in PKHex to that save and restore it. Profit.
It doesn't feel 100% like my precious Pokémon, but it's probably as good as I was able to do.
