Are you using an emulator or cart on DS? A before save (before you get it) and an after save (after you get the accessory.) There must be minimal to no changes between the saves otherwise. Keep doing this, take note of what byte value get changed. Slowly and surely, you'll build an excel table with all the changes identified.

Switch saves are not stored on the cartridge: instead it is stored on the Switch itself. Since saves aren't stored on the cart itself, no hardware can extract a save from the cart itself I assume it is to make it impossible to create hardware like the dongle you mentioned, or powersaves.

people providing before and after saves of the event redemption increases the chances of this happening

Just test this myself, I can confirm that it happens in HGSS saves.

The game is not even out officially. Stop asking for Sword and Shield content, as it could mean you're pirating the game. Wait until it is officially out.

Your title: "Pokegen for sword and sheild" Pokegen ≠ PKHeX You've asked this question before. and here was my answer then. That answer is still valid. Seriously, just be patient and wait. If there's anything complications, I imagine @Kaphotics or someone else would mention so here or on twitter. So just wait, alright

main cannot be named.

LGPE codes were region free. Can't be sure about SWSH codes until SWSH is out. But then again. the Switch can change regions pretty easily anyway

Nintendosoup reported that using Pokemon Pass in Walmart during the event period will give players the serial code to receive the Tracksuit Outfit in Sword & Shield! This distribution was previously announced for Japan (preorder via 7 Net Shopping) and Europe (Shopto, Game, Gamestop etc.)

Hello everyone, I'm theSLAYER, your events moderator and forum manager here! First of all, I'll like to thank everyone for their past contributions and co-operation thus far! Foreword My hopes aside, I expect SWSH's events to be similar to LGPE, namely being non-injectable. As there are distributions for items and clothings/outfits, our contribution system would slightly differ from previous generations. Please please please read the entire section below, especially before you redeem your gift. How to contribute We need both of these: 1. Data that contains the event Provide a before redemption save and after redemption save (you could upload it here or PM it to me) [You're gonna need a modified/hacked Switch in order to extract the saves] or Alternatively, you may PM me and donate to us the serial code, if it's a items or clothings/outfits event. [Do note that with this, I will not be able to return you the code] 2. Details relating to the event If possible provide as much of below as possible: Pictures of the event location, the distribution device etc (if it's a local distribution) Photo/screengrab of receiving screen Serial code card (you can blank out the last 12 digits of the code; we only need the prefix, and a nice look at the card)

That's odd. Does that byte happen to be used for detection? At least if a similar issue were to happen in the future, we could link back to this page. edit: I couldn't replicate on my own save. Wrote 0x0C (the value on OP's save) to the same location as above, and it didn't trigger the error on my own save. Also, for OP's save, values such as 0x0D and 0x10 triggers the error, but 0xFF doesn't. Also copied the whole row to my own save, and it didn't trigger the error. I'm giving up for now

@Kaphotics in the meantime, any idea what caused this? : x Well to be fair, the error message said it was something related to Trainer Gender, so when that edit failed (0x3E3D according to PKHeX save offsets), I copied an entire trainer save block (offset 0x2009, size 0xB7A according to PKHeX documentation), then kept halving the block until I found the byte XD

It's not. "Time not set" saves load fine on PKHeX. Maybe your save was corrupted by cheats or something. I don't really know test.sav Use ^ save instead. It has literally minimal edits. No idea what the byte I changed represents (I know it's somewhere in the trainer block, but that is about it), but I found that location via trial and error. (I zeroed out that value, cause that value is zero on my own save)

Hey, in the future, there is no reason to PM me, since it's all out in public. Me or other people who see it may or may not get to it. [For example, if it was a PKHeX issue, I would not have been able to help] (For the record, I was working on editing your save. I just haven't replied to this thread as it wasn't working yet) While the error message appears to be related to Trainer Gender, editing that value didn't seem to resolve the issue. As such, I copied all the trainer data from a working save and replaced yours. I changed the TID and OT back to yours, but I'm unsure what else was changed from my copy to yours. Pokemon - Crystal Version - Copy.sav edit: Do you have a previous copy of the save or save state that worked on PKHeX?

Upload the file that triggers the message.

One of the location drops you right outside the Volcano

The disc + GC RNG can only generate a total of 65536 unique PIDs for Jirachi, if I'm not mistaken. Read this: That's frankly not too far off from standard shiny rates of 8/65536 of Gen III anyway XD

Bluestacks, spoof location, clear app cache to redeem again. (The amount of codes aren't locked to PTC account; it's merely locked in app cache) I've got redemption steps here, but obviously change the location to a GameStop instead of Target.

^ that. however before you do that, you may wanna capture a save state first.

Given that you intend for this thread to be about documentation of details from within the game, including game/story text, encounter tables etc, I’m shifting this to the research section.

Ah, my bad. Tho, why not just change the details of the trainer of the save, as opposed to batch editing. It's all your prerogative tho, just listing another option. Well, can't exactly fault other people for not giving you a response, since it's something you could have easily checked tho, either through running simple tests, or checking online resources. In any case, you've gotten what you've asked for, so I'll proceed to lock this thread before I have to deal with any more snark XD (friendly prod)

why not just complete the game? Once you become champion, all the Pokémon belonging to your friend would obey you anyway... Anyway for purposes of "obedience", matching TID, SID, OT name and OT gender is enough.

I agree, but there's always gonna be people who don't care. I imagine that people without accounts also just grab a code and go. It's kinda why I'm not posting huge amounts at a go. In any case, here's another 50.
