I have the same problem. Not sure why but it's only doing it for Mew.

The Trainer Name is Ricky and it's changing it to Ricｫy :-/

On my Mewtwo, and some other Pokemon, the escape sequence is changing from "\FFFF\0000\FFFF" to "\FFFF\FFFF\FFFF" when I load the file as well.

Your met location is set to "Poke Transfer Lab". It should be "(PokeTransfer)" near the top of the list. If it still doesn't work then I dunno why. What checker are you using because I don't think there is one that works for Gen V yet.

Good enough for me lol

Interesting. I always thought the "met" tab only applied to where you met the Pokemon in Black/White and, therefore, if it was hatched in Gen IV you didn't need to worry about the egg stuff since you're meeting it as a full grown Pokemon in Black/White.

No probs, glad to help:)

Lol here ya go, hopefully it'll be good this time

Hydreigon2-1.pkm

Hydreigon is still illegal

EDIT: I found out why, He has the egg move dark pulse so he has to be hatched and not met at victory road.

Lol yeah I just saw that, did you need me to upload the new file or have you done it now?

That didn't help somewhat....that helped alot! Thank you

Good good, glad I can help, I'm still learning this stuff myself lol.

No probs, just wish I could help more with explaining the Pokesav stuff but it's tough when I'm using a different program

Here's Hydreigon, hopefully it'll work now.

Hydreigon2-1.pkm

Missed a couple of things on that Ninetales. I set it to be bred in Black so it has Drought and it should work, here's the correct version. Let me know if they work please

ninetales_Bred.pkm

Ok, I've attached them both as 220s, let me know if they work

ninetales_Transfered.pkm

leafeon_Transfered.pkm

Hmmm, I see, I never realised they released a Ninetales with Drought, I don't have much experience with Japanese created Pokemon either. Did you try the Leafeon? If it doesn't work I can try giving it a Gen IV PID and I can try to fix the Ninetales if you'd like.

I would also recommend PokeGen for making Pokemon and this topic for info on how to do it right:

http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?14026-Guide-How-to-generate-Gen-V-Pokmon-in-PokGen

The movesets are legal, I made the Leafeon and Ninetales for him. The thing I don't get is how to make it look like they hatched in a 4th gen game (Diamond) and were "transfered" to 5th gen. I made them in Pokesav and used the Poke Transfer program to create the new pkm but the date hatched bit and origin game got messed up. Could you tell me what I did wrong?

EDIT: also, he requested the Ninetales with Drought.

Okies, well I'm using PokeGen and I'm not sure what Poke Transfer program you mean but I don't think I've used that. The problem with the hatched Poketransfer Pokemon is that they were appearing as if they'd been met as eggs in Black/White and the met location was not set to "(Poketransfer)", it was set to Nuvema Town instead. I seem to remember the PokeSav hatched and met locations being a bit confusing from when I used to use it more though so maybe that's where you slipped up.

In Pokesav "Met" should be where the egg hatched and "Egg Hatched At" should be Day Care Couple.

As far as I'm aware the Ninetales can't be made legal unless its ability is changed.

Can someone tell me why these 3 pokemon arn't legal?

and could make them legal? and possibly make leafeon male haha

Hydreigon just needs its encounter in the "met" tab changed to Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey Tree/Shaymin. That's the standard setting for all Gen V Pokemon.

Leafeon needs its location set to (Poketransfer), ball and level shouldn't matter, uncheck the "as egg" bit and ignore it.

Ninetales has Drought which is an unreleased Dream World ability and therefore will not be legal unless you change that, it also has the same problems in the "met" tab as Leafeon.

I've tried to fix Leafeon and attached it so let me know if it works. It may need to be given a Gen IV PID if it's coming from a Gen IV game though, in that case it might need some of the IVs dropping to make it legal.

I'm assuming you checked the movesets out and they're all legal

leafeon_Transfered.pkm

Just want to say thanks for PokeGen, it's been such a great help. I managed to get the Pokemon I wanted to my game cartridge no problem. My only concern is with random wi-fi in which I am getting rejected. I have been following the guide as well as the video by "BrianRules94" but can't figure it out. I think the culprit is my lack of SID since I don't know it. Could someone please check these Pokemon?

As far as I'm aware your SID can be anything you like up to 65535, the only thing that will happen if it doesn't match yours is the game will assume it's been traded to you but that shouldn't cause any issues. As far as I'm aware the "met" tab stays the same if it was traded from another Black/White game so Volcarona, Jellicent and Bisharp should be ok with any ID.

Now, for Dragonite you have more issues. Multiscale is unreleased as far as I'm aware and he can only have that when the Dream World is available in the UK/US etc. Then you'd need to set game of origin to Black/White and the location to "Entree Forest" and give him an 01 in the 66 (0x42) Trash Byte section. Pretty sure you can use any ball to catch Dream World Pokemon. If you don't care about losing Multiscale then you'll need to either make him caught at Dragonspiral Tower (not Farawayplace) or set it to "(Poketransfer)" and the game of origin to whatever game he's supposed to be from.

Garchomp just needs to have his game of origin set to a game he can actually be caught in (he can't be caught in Black outside of the Dream World).

Tyranitar looks ok to me.

Again, it shouldn't matter what SID you give these Pokemon unless you're fussed about shininess.

Just an extra note, some of your Pokemon are nicknamed the names of their pre-evolved forms, if that's intentional then fair enough. Just remember anything Poketransferred from Gen IV will need the nickname box ticked if it's got a nickname or a regular name that isn't in all caps. Gen V Pokemon don't need a nickname flag if you just want the regular name (unless you want all caps).

Now, as for PID I haven't checked them. For anything caught in Black/White leave it blank and save and PokeGen will create you a valid one and if the Pokemon was meant to be Poketransferred then you can use the generator.

Hope that helps somewhat

Awesome, thanks. Keep up the good work

When I opened Bisharp/Infernape they had the nickname box unchecked and some weirdness in the escape sequence. Now I'm no expert but I think it should be "Warden\FFFF\0000\0000\0000\FFFF" and "Yorrick\FFFF\0000\0000\FFFF". Still, It seems like a pretty minor error so maybe someone else can see something else wrong there.

Conkeldurr and Magmortar looked fine to me, Gliscor and Golurk had the nickname box unchecked but other than that looked fine.

Oh and I didn't check the PIDs but if you did them like you said I don't see why they would be wrong.

I decided make a Mewtwo with the OT "Dr. Fuji" (yeah, I know, it should probably be Giovanni but meh) and it just comes up blank in-game (this was for Platinum). Not had a chance to try it in White yet because my NDS Adaptor decided to die and I'm still waiting for the replacement but is it not possible to put spaces in an OT name or something?

I'm currently having the Ribbon Cloning issue. I've checked multiple times but every time I change the ribbons on one Pokemon and save they get applied to every Pokemon in my file.

Using XP if that matters. Personally I can live with it but I figured I'd report it anyway.

All encounters in Gen V are now Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey Tree/Shaymin so always use that.

Don't see why you couldn't Poketransfer an egg but I've never tried it so I dunno.

Edit: Oh and I imagine for a Poketransferred egg you'd just change the Met Level to 1 since that's the level eggs hatch at now and change ball to Pokeball. Then tick "As egg" and set the hatch location to wherever it hatched in Black/White after it arrived.

1. I saw you made Rayquaza, how do you make pokemon from other gens? I figure you put where you got them as the transfer lab if you can't catch them in BW or breed them (such as Azelf), but should I put the ID and SID as those from the games I'm importing the pokes from? cause that could be problematic

2. In the met section under hatch conditions there is a date which is the date it hatched, okay, but the date at the top, should that be the same date as the hatch date? Or before that when you "got the egg"

3. In the PID finder it has a selection box that says 1 (A-B-C-D) and if you click it it has a bunch of others things like that, what the hell does it mean?

4. When you set a pokemon in a box/party slot and it's either highlited blue or white, whats that mean? Or does it mean anything?

1.) In the "Main" tab, set "Origin" to whatever game you want it to be from originally (obviously make sure they can actually be found in that game).

The thing to remember about the "Met" tab is that it's where you met the Pokemon in Black/White,not where you met it in the game of origin. So, if it's a Pokemon from another game, set "Location" to "(Poketransfer)", it's near the top of the list, (not Poketransfer Lab, I assume that's just for if an egg hatches in the building or something). Ball Should be a regular Poke Ball if it was originally meant to be an egg but it shouldn't really matter as long as you select a ball that's available in the game of origin. The Level is the level that you met it at when it was transferred to Black/White. The ID and SID can be anything you like as long as they're valid (they must match up correctly to the PID for Shiny Pokemon).

2.) The date above should be the date you met it in Black/White (so when you Poketransferred it).

3.) If you hover over the drop-down it will tell you, it's just how the game generates PIDs, don't worry about them.

4.) Pretty sure it's just to show you that they're highlighted and to let you drag them around easier.

IIRC it should be Entree Forest, at least that's what I saw in a topic here a while back. Can't remember which topic though so you might want someone to confirm that.

Bah, was getting my hopes up then lol. Never mind

Hang on, you used the PID generator for a Gen V Pokemon? Has it been updated now? o_O

Why is your 4th column an 0 in the 5th row? I can only see one 1.

Anyways I got stuck around that part too. Does it not work if the Trainer ID and SID are the same?

Mine just ended up always being 0000 0000 0000 0000 : /

Here are my first 4 rows:

1010 0001 1000 0110

0110 0011 1001 0110

0100 0101 0111 1011

0100 0101 0111 1011

Now if I'm doing it right I add the number of 1s in each column and if they're odd I put a 1 in the 5th row and if they're even I put an 0 and I end up with this...

1010 0001 1000 0110

0110 0011 1001 0110

0100 0101 0111 1011

0100 0101 0111 1011

1100 0010 0001 0000

Is that right?

Now for the next bit am I including the 5th row in the addition? I assume so otherwise it'd just be the same for every row so I do the same again and get this...

1010 0001 1000 0110

0110 0011 1001 0110

0100 0101 0111 1011

0100 0101 0111 1011

1100 0010 0001 0000

0000 0000 0000 0000

I must be doing something wrong here, that or I can't use the same number for Trainer ID and SID (although that doesn't make much sense to me).

I'd really appreciate some help as to what I'm missing, thanks.
