HOME doesn’t have complex checks, but it sounds like your mon might be illegal. Just don’t use cheats if you wanna transfer up…

Those Pokemon will be lacking a legitimate “Bank to HOME tracker”. PKHeX cannot create HOME trackers. Currently there is a loophole where if the Pokemon enters via SWSH first, it will be able to enter HOME (HOME stops “transferred” monsters without a tracker from entering HOME, when deposited using other games). however, they could close the loophole, and also retroactively ban/restrict mons that use the loophole.

Where’s the original post originally? edit: given it’s not a wonder card, don’t think it was ever hosted on site? In any case, can find it here: https://github.com/projectpokemon/EventsGallery/tree/master/Released/Gen 4/Trade Distribution

You could just change the country and region on Luma3DS before receiving the event. And I feel like I’m beating a dead horse at this point..

I mean, if it was only distributed via Serial Code for Japanese devices, then there you go, it is region locked. So you should set the region to Japan after you redeem it/hack on in. The point I was trying to say: Base ROM across all regions are the same = same stats generation protocol So it will be indistinguishable if you set the region correctly. Additionally, region data is wiped in HOME, so the Pokemon will be legal. This article may be old but give it a read.

No, not really. You got issues because of your weird terminator byte and trash. Something similar happening to stuff caught by mio: Also, seems like you've tried to Bruteforce the soluation for Trapinch? Also, given I remember seeing you bring up Emerald-Birth Island a post before, your original illegality isn't caused by it being Emerald-Birth Island. If you're not using cheat codes, and not using an emulator, if you're able to replicate how a normal OT gains trash after a capture, let us know. Else, I can't imagine an update coming for that issue.

So there's a few things to note: 1. Some wonder cards were distributed via Infrared. Infrared distributions aren't region locked, so it can be any region. So you've got to read/check what event you're looking at. 2. You can just change the "region" on the pk6/pk7 file, if you redeemed it in the wrong location. To an external party like HOME, it'll just look like you've received it via trade. 3. To answer your last point, yes, all the "region'd ROMs" are actually the same, just bundled with an extra check before that launch. This means their generation sequence is all the same.

"region" isn't listed on the Wonder card. Yes, Gen 6 and 7 Pokemon format has data for region, but if you it's not like "traces of the card's region" will be left on the Pokemon. What matters is you use the correct card for the correct region. And you can determine the correct card by TID/SID/Item, if the card is different across regions. If it's the same, then it does not matter.. [Anyhow, region data will be wiped when the mon is transferred up to the Switch, so even if you made a mistake, it does not matter if you plan to move it up..]

If the details are exactly the same, it wouldn't matter which one you end up using. In those instances, the servers literally used the same file for both regions

Hmmm, curious, would you be able to say where this info is from? Seems to be a command line dump of some kind?

If I replace the FF (to show the trash byte): What is that X doing there? Do you remember your previous OT before a save reset? Your Deoxys shows up legal when I fix the trash. Anyhow, does all your Pokemon have that trash data for OT name?

It looks like you placed an international save into a Japanese game. Whether you restarted the game then or just overwrote the OT, I do not know. Having that trash byte is a problem..

In all honesty, there are other parameters/telemetry that gets recorded in the save, that a simple "swap" like that won't be able to trigger, when it comes to "attempting to make it look like a trade" If I'm not mistaken, the type of telemetry changes per game... Don't remember, but that sounds mostly reasonable. You mean modifying the Natures and IVs before sending in HOME? Yes, HOME presently doesn't check PID IV correlations. But if they decide to, it'll be obvious the mon is illegal. If anyone else checks the data, it is obvious it is illegal.

PKHeX is able to simulate transfers. The only issue is if you wanna send the simulated transfer into HOME for any reason, it will get rejected by HOME PKHeX is unable to assign HOME trackers. And 'stealing' a tracker from another mon won't work; The tracker is used to identify the mon and various stats and immutables need to match the entry stored in the server's logs. Note that the rejection doesn't occur when entering into SWSH, as it is likely related support for the base format used by HOME's launch. Abusing SWSH's loophole is risky business and I will not recommend it.

Please don't abuse the report feature. Just because something you think is "misinformation". Please verify the info on your own first. This is true. All shadows in XD are shiny locked. This is also true, in regards to legitimate and regular (non-cheating) usage of the GameCube games. Unless your intent was JPN games with OT ZACH typed out in Romaji. Even then does not matter, statement itself holds true. In any case, don't see any misinformation. If I were to think deeper based on what I am reading here, and I could be wrong, but it seems like you used Report as an retaliatory action due to the negative response you received. Or perhaps you thought his response would stop people from responding. Whatever the case, don't misuse and abuse the report button. If you don't like the idea "doing it yourself" (as they suggested), you could just wait patiently and someone *might* just do it. After all, the thread isn't locked and anyone is free to reply (mods can lock the thread if need be). In any case, good luck.
