To be clear, when you say "mark+region", you're referring to the symbols like Pentagon, Clover, GB etc, that show where a mon came from, right? Those are all governed by referencing the origin game data. Those things are not data by itself. (Also if you're referring to the line met in johto [for example], that line is also based on the origin game) it would be? because such a mon is not legal to begin with? Like I said, origin game persists. So, for example, if Yveltal was caught in Pokemon X, that is illegal. Just because the game doesn't know it's illegal, doesn't mean it isn't.

there isn't.

read the last post of that thread. edit: To clarify points from that thread you may not have understood or may have missed. PKHeX officially does not support Mac. That variant of PKHeX (which basically recompiles PKHeX to work for Mac) is done by someone else, and has not been maintained. If you want PKHeX to work for a Mac, you gotta either do some Virtual Machine or Dual Boot fancy setup. In other words, you needs to get "Windows" on your Mac, one way or another. Then launch PKHeX within that "Windows".

When you collect the mon from the delivery person, be it pokemon center or pokemon mart. (the delivery person waits at different places, depending on which generation you play)

According to Rochi (source), the movie is scheduled for August 2021, and the gifts appear to be given away in movie theatres. Given that there has only been one local event so far, and it was done at the controlled environment of a Pokémon Center, it is unlikely that this will be a local event. And thus, it is possible that the cinemas will distribute serial codes to viewers that show up to the movie viewing.

Origin game =/= Game it is presently in. You can trade mons, transfers mons. And doing that doesn't change the origin game. Just make sure the origin game is correct. For most cases just rely on PKHeX's legality checks. It doesn't sound like you're trying to make anything that can be considered an edge case.

Am I correct to interpret this as you're wondering if there's a Pokedex entry for Palkia? Not in Gen 8: there isn't.

Country and 3DS region has been removed from Gen 8. So when a mon is transferred into Gen 8 format (example, Bank -> HOME), that data is wiped. Check against the OT. The OT is usually languaged locked. And certain languages can only be obtained by certain regions. If it's not on the mon, it's not on the mon. You'll have to use the power of inference to figure that out. In the first part of this reply, I've already said what happens :3

Did you mean you want them legal? If you want them legit, you would not be save editing. edit: I see you have been educated the difference between legit and legal in the PKHeX dev discord. You've also been told how to do it in a legal way.

Could you give examples of such cases? [asking because you may think they are properly Dmaxed, including moves and HP. I want examples to prove/disprove your point] Also, besides those examples, let me say this: there's a byte that would allow a mon to appear Dynamaxed, but that doesn't make a mon Gmaxed. The appearance is strictly Dmax only (even on mons with the Gmax factor). Also, since it's only in appearance, the moves don't transform, and the HP isn't doubled. Do note that Pokemon that undergo this change won't appear as Dmaxed in their summary screens, only in battles. The sprites also look regular, and not affected in any way. Actually Eternamax Eternatus is a separate form, so you can have it in your Box. The problem is, the game is programmed to revert it to regular Eternatus upon game bootup, so one can't feasibly inject it via SAV editing. Read more about it here:

Without going into the issue of how legit and legal are not one and the same, what I can tell you is this: Since they're generated by the game, they are legal.

Get the .sav file from your SD card. load the .sav file into PKHeX.

Specifically: Give that a try :3

it is indeed 1 byte too small. (I saw it when trying to paste over the box mons.) How did you transfer the save from your 3DS to your PC?

is this before you gotten the starter, or before you interacted with a PC?

If your goal is you make a sysbot via RAM editing to inject the mons for trade, that likely won't work. I've heard RAM editing is iffy with LGPE because the RAM addresses keep changing.. Hence why sysbots are using SWSH.. First off, your blank save is a SWSH save. If your purposes is for LGPE editing, this mon would not be able to be back converted. Next, use your mouse and click on the Latest (not OT) Handler area, so that the green box shifts down. (My arrow illustrates how the green box should be below). Lastly, the reason why you get this legality error is because: The "current handler" (green box) for this mon is supposedly the OT, and based on information in another tab, it is a Caterpie caught in LGP. But this Caterpie is in a SWSH save. So logically, the LGP OT cannot be current handler.

done.

As mentioned prior, the copy you originally uploaded is empty. So the copy you tried to import probably isn't empty..

no prob :3 edit: For the record, Arceus doesn't exist in SWSH at all (presently), so it still won't show the correct sprite and model. You could check online to see which mons are in SWSH :3

You're on the base game, not on v1.3.0. Most of the species you've mentioned don't exist prior to v1.3.0, hence explaining the Pokeball sprite and Pikachu model you've experienced. edit: While not the issue at hand here, your Zygarde are both illegal. Consider getting one generated using the encounter database in PKHeX.

@Need_A_Contest you mind uploading your save here?

The memory is indeed possible with "Dynamaxed Urshifu" (I just got it myself) Check your Zacian in the latest stable build.

As of now I'm unsure whether your GB/GBC dumping is working as intended, or if it's your Yellow save. Consider making a few dump, with each dump you jiggling the cart a slight bit, or cleaning the contacts again. Maybe try finding a configuration that can get the cart to launch the game. I can't really give any other advice besides that...

This file does not appear to be a save file. That would be the reason why VBA and PKHeX fails to recognize it as a save: it is just a collection of random garbled data, which is probably not from a save. Have you tried playing your cart on a Gameboy to check if the save loads? edit: It seems like you tried but it won't even boot aye. Try dumping the saves of other real GB carts. If yellow is the only one that can't be dumped properly, then the save probably is dead
