I'll probably do that, the only reason I was looking at hacking the stats is (1) Vulpix is my favorite and I'd like her to be the best she can (her special attack is 6 and her speed is 4) and (2) hyper training isn't going to be around till sun/moon which means I'll be going through platinum and sapphire at least first.

Thanks for the warning, I've already edited item data (got sick of the grind and gave myself rare candies) but I'll leave the pokemon alone.

I caught a Vulpix in soulsilver (physical card on DS) and since its my favorite pokemon I was debating changing all its IV's to max values when migrating them through pokehex to the platinum game I'll be doing next (plan to migrate pokemon through all the regions in a ongoing playthrough). I was however concerned doing so might only change values going forward and not adjust existing stats e.g. raise IV from 5 to 31 and the HP don't change even though future level ups would give new HP increases based on the 31 IV. So I was doing some browsing to try and find if that would be an issue. Which is when I found the tutorials about pokemon ID's and illegal mismatches. So since the main reason I have pokehex is just to allow transfers between games and I have no skill at all in editing files curerntly. I'm playing it safe and asking her first if I raise a pokemon's IV's to max specifically a Vulpix from soul silver could that get the Vulpix flagged as illegal? Please bear in mind I have no real editing skill nor interest in acquiring so if the answer is yes I just wont do this, any advice on how to appreciated but will not be used. I want my Vulpix to be legal all the way through to importing into Violet/Scarlet.

I'm planning to start a playthrough from Soul Silver through to violet transferring pokemon between each generation as I go (I have bank for the final jump to switch and home). However I have two questions I've not been able to find an answer too so I'm asking. 1) When dumping/importing boxes is it individual boxes or all of them e.g. if in soul silver I have pokemon in boxes 1 and 2 while in Alpha Sapphire I have pokemon in boxes 3 can I choose to only import and overwrite boxes 1 and 2 but leave 3 on untouched so I don't lose the pokemon I've caught up to unlocking storage or is it always individual pokemon or all storage? From reading the FAQ I think I'll need to transfer them individually as it seems like dumping/importing boxes does all of them not just one box or a selection of boxes. 2) When moving between generations am I correct (from the FAQ) I just need to move the pokemon over by following the directions and they'll be correctly recorded as having been transferred the way they would if I'd done it back while that generations transfer feature was active (again with the exception of Home which creates its own trackers)? This is for the transferring of legitimately caught pokemon in each generation to the next no other editing desired. Thanks in advance for any answers.
