    This thread brought up interesting questions/scenarios. I would like to replicate the scenario for myself before pushing forward
  2. theSLAYER
    I’m not convinced. Gonna need to test that. Also if Pal Park has that weird quirk, then you wouldn’t have to do it with Mew, can be any other Mon.
  3. theSLAYER
    No as in, if you removed the data by deleting it in a hex editor, write those lines of data back also using a hex editor. Besides manually doing that, there’s also probably converters online that would do it for you. Look for it.
  4. theSLAYER
    You mean restoring. Dumping is the act of grabbing data. You’re restoring data into the cart. I reckon you’re gonna have to write back the extra strings of data before you can send it back to your cart.

    once you cobble saves together (like a frankenstein monster), you'll need to use PKHeX to fix the checksums, before you can restore that save into a game. Load the edited save into PKHeX, then export the edited save from PKHeX (from here on we'll call it 2), then restore 2 into a game. Without valid checksums, the game would read the save as corrupted.

    it dumped correctly. it's just that there's extra data at the end of the save (as per the image I showed). In this case, open the save in HxD (or any other hex editing program), delete data from 0x8000 onwards (the highlighted portion in the image). You could also just download the sav file I attached.
  7. theSLAYER
    I think RTC information got dumped with the save. Trimming the save allows it to be used with PKHeX Pokemon Gold.sav

    While I do not know if program like Raid Crawler exists for SWSH, you can do this: 1. Use an external program to calculate the seed for your den 2. Check how much date skips you'll need 3. Use the Overlay Luxray to skip the dates: https://gbatemp.net/threads/luxray-an-overlay-utility-for-pokemon-sword-and-shield-in-form-of-a-sys-module.557242/

    Can’t speak to the other unnamed software you’re talking about, but FBI and CheckPoint are homebrew (user made). So they’re not ‘pirated’. Granted, having Homebrew CIA installed maybe risky, but you can always just launch them via the homebrew launcher. Been doing that for years. Not banned. Not blocked on Bank/Transporter. Not the definition of piracy. May wanna read that up. Granted, it’s not endorsed by Nintendo and you may wanna go the homebrew launcher route, but at the very least homebrew doesn’t compete with their profits. I don’t think I’ve heard people with purely homebrew being banned, but maybe I’ve not looked hard enough for it. Bans usually are a thing due to piracy. Probably not that big but since it’s controlled by Nintendo, a risk, no matter how small, is always there. I’ve not heard of any non-piracy bans in recent years…
  10. theSLAYER
    Else long as you don’t install nonsense to your 3DS, you’ll most likely not get banned. bans are usually for pirated stuff or other shady stuff on the 3DS, not for stuff in Pokémon saves. all at your own risk, of course

    17th September 2023 Preamble With the release of HOME v3.1.0, Pokémon that bears records of not being initialized correctly (technically invalid HOME tracker) can no longer be sent back into HOME, typically with HOME throwing an error 10015. Everything below explains how and why people could obtain a broken or invalid HOME tracker, even if the screenshots aren't fully relevant anymore. Introduction With the release of version 2.0.0 of Pokémon HOME, compatibility with Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and Legends Arceus was added. In version 3.0.0, they also added support for Scarlet and Violet, and allowed Pokémon to be transferred across those games.Pokémon HOME made some changes to how the HOME tracker works, and why it is relevant, when it comes to importing Pokémon. Brief Overview For every individual Pokémon you see in the box in Pokémon HOME, they are made up of the entire ring of data above. These are the data structures within a single structure for a Pokémon file that is in HOME, which is associated and identifiable by the HOME tracker (among other common data that is usually immutable3). While version 3.0.0 made some data more visible to players, not all are. The table below will help to explain what the various substructures are. Important Substructures Purpose Initiated By Used By Views on HOME mobile Core Contains most bits of data that are shared across all games. Gets initiated regardless of what entry game Used across all listed games The data here shows up in all views Child: LGPE Data specific to LGPE Child: SWSH Data specific to SWSH For origin IDs pre-Switch games. Affected by changes in SWSH games. Child: PLA Data specific to PLA Child: BDSP Data specific to BDSP Child: SV Data specific to SV In essence, when a deposited Pokémon first gets a HOME tracker via entry from a specific game, it gets data written to both core and the corresponding child. For the children substructures relating to other games, those get generated when said Pokémon is transferred into those games. This means that is a Pokémon never visits the other games, those children substructures remain blank. Any Pokémon that comes from Bank -> HOME or GO -> HOME gets written into SWSH child. Any children substructure that gets generated afterwards appears to generate data based on core + first child that was first generated A look into HOME mobile's various views As of version 3.0.0, Pokémon HOME added a feature that would allow you to see various 'views', which effectively allows you a sneak peak into the various children substructure. However this view is rather limited; it is constrained by a) the origin game of the Pokémon and b) the species. A few examples: 1. Stuff from GO that have not entered any game would not give you the view option 2. Darkrai from GO that entered PLA and BDSP won't give you an option to use the SWSH view, despite SWSH child being populated. 3. If a species exists in SWSH, and said species went from GO -> HOME -> BDSP without interacting with SWSH, it'll still gain the SWSH view as SWSH child is populated. 4. Bank view is based on game ID. Bank view actually uses SWSH child, so any modifications in SWSH child affects Bank view 5. Mr. Rime that has the origin game of PLA (a Mime Jr. evolved in SWSH) would not give you the option of PLA view, despite PLA child being populated (link). Example on moving mons across games without a valid HOME tracker So this is the example portion. Let's look at this Pichu I bred in BDSP. Pichu, a species that exists in SWSH, BDSP, and PLA. Beast Ball, a ball that visually exists in SWSH and BDSP. Now, for this exercise, I'll take the PB8 of this Pichu, and import it into Legends Arceus. They'll both be clones of each other. Difference being, the one on the left Leftchu has a valid HOME tracker (from entering HOME from BDSP previously), and the one on the right Rightchu does not. (Also note, while it shows as Beast Ball in the PKHeX, due to how PLA works, it'll appear as the Strange Ball in-game or in HOME [when viewing as PLA]) Now that they're both in HOME, entering from PLA (which they've both never entered from before). And they'll be entering Sword (which they've both also not entered before). And this is the result: Leftchu correctly shows that it is in a Beast Ball, while Rightchu shows that it is in a Poké Ball. Also, on mobile HOME, Leftchu shows the correct first met location (Seabreak Path) but Rightchu doesn't. Leftchu also shows Beast Ball, and Rightchu doesn't show any ball. [note: I sent back the mons from Sword for the screenshots] Summary In the present day, if you're injecting Pokémon into any Switch games, and if you're injecting Pokémon with origin games (a) Gen 7 and below or (b) a different Gen 8 game from your current one, make sure they have a valid HOME tracker attached to the file. To keep a HOME tracker valid, make sure you do not change any immutable values3 on your Pokémon. Also, it is okay if your HOME tracker changes on your existing Pokémon; as long as you deposited a Pokémon with a valid HOME tracker, even if the tracker were to change after, all previous data are cloned and carried forward to the next tracker. If you perform any kind of transfer with an invalid HOME tracker via HOME, data would not be displayed correctly on other games. Here's a bunch of mons with valid HOME trackers, make sure you don't change the immutable values3! Footnotes 1. Values stored in Core (Common data) are 2. Values stored in Children substructures for the games are I would like to point out that while the Gmax/Alpha/Noble data is stored in Core, HOME doesn't carry forward that data into every game. 3. Immutable values refer to values that normally can't be changed on a captured Pokémon. Stuff like PID, EC, IVs, etc

    Fashion block research is very low priority so I am not surprised people aren't doing it. You could try this:
  13. theSLAYER
    The save block (or section; a term more in-line with what Bulbapedia uses, relevance being the image I’m about to share) shuffles with every save. So there isn’t a fixed location. Source: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Save_data_structure_(Generation_III) The section ID (what he’s using to identify the save block numbers) can be found at every 0x??FF4 interval (?? are incremental hexadecimal values starting from 0), so if you’re into checking the data via Hex, this is how you can identify the sections.
  14. theSLAYER
    Maybe edit the save after you’ve received the starter.
  15. theSLAYER
    If you reopen the save in PKHeX (after editing the save and closing PKHeX), are the changes there?
  16. theSLAYER
    I don’t own one myself but if I’m not mistaken it’s GB Operator. As long as used properly, yes. The save *should* be indistinguishable from one generated by a retail cart (unless there’s extra details that I didn’t know about) Usually yes. However shouldn’t matter cause most emulators has a menu item that allows you to import other saves, even ones that aren’t named correctly.
  17. theSLAYER
    You’ll need to own hardware to be able to restore ROMs to your cart. Without that, even if you manage to edit the save and return it to the ‘ROM’, you won’t be able to return that modified ROM + SAV into your cart. since you’re using GBA Tools, I don’t think it’ll work; I don’t recall it have a ROM editing/restoration function.
  18. theSLAYER
    PKHeX isn’t meant to function for ROM hacks. if you can get the save to load, good. Sav editors can’t change evolution mechanisms or shiny odds tho; you’ll need a ROM editor for that.
  19. theSLAYER
    People usually get banned for other stuff, such as modification to the Switch, piracy, etc.
  20. theSLAYER
    Can you explain what it is?
  21. theSLAYER
    Ah so the issue is you use any save editors. Try checking if any cheat codes work for those games. Then proceed to use party modifying codes
  22. theSLAYER
    Oh you mean rom hacks that has extra entries. You’re could try using batch editor to convert to an editable species, change EVs, then change the species back
  23. theSLAYER
    Switch PKHeX to Hax mode
  24. theSLAYER
    Perhaps upload the Mon and the screenshot of the issue, so that we can have a better idea of what’s going on.
  25. theSLAYER
    Yeah. Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear earlier; details are tracked and converted across games using HOME tracker. So stuff should have HOME tracker if the main entry point isn’t Bank, LGPE or SWSH.
