    I couldn't find the ID for Blaze in the data, nor the ID for the met location (New Bark Town), so instead I looked for that, and found 3 hits. Cross-referencing against the Quilava hits, there's only one in the same area. Still can't make heads or tails of what I'm seeing, but I'll like to believe it is in this general area. edit: I think I found it, well, parts of it. Unrelated to the area I mentioned earlier. Red: Quilava Green: Tackle Yellow: Quick Attack Blue: Flame Wheel Silver: Ember Now to find the PID. edit1: that data is written at somewhere unexpected. And I can't seem to find other stuff that's useful. Using this and I was able to find data that better fit the recorded structure, but it's a single Kakuna -.- (source: http://dmitry.gr/?r=05.Projects&proj=28. pokewalker#_TOC_2dec5ee9db863ffb68915b70bce4efe4) Probably Final Edit: Sorry, it doesn't look like your Quilava's PID is stored. The only area that would have stored the PID (and also Ability, abd also IVs) data appears to be Team Data, and there's only a singular Kakuna in your Team. The first Quilava instance was for Walking Pokemon (RouteInfo), but PID isn't there. [Image with Quilava info I sent earlier] (since PID and IVs and ability ain't there, also the reason why I couldn't find Blaze earlier) For the other instances where Quilava appears, are logs saying what Quilava has found(item)/captured(species). at the very least, I did find your save's TID/SID. But that's about it. @PixelatedMess64 do you still have access to your Pokewalker? Mind sending a Spinda with a known PID over? in case the PID gets saved anywhere else.

    I've tried using a tool to dump full mons from hex, but to no avail. At the very least, there's nothing that is stored in the full pk4 format in that file. Anyways, Quilava doesn't have patterns like Spinda, so not sure what you're on about with the Spinda example.. (unless you were going off this, thus stating PID exists inside?) Anyhow, there's 24 hits for the ID of Quilava in the code (if it's not encrypted), but I don't think I'll be able to tell where the PID is.. edit: hmm, may help if you give me what you can remember for Quilava (or the save that owns this Quilava)

    yeah sounds like the ROM hack plays around with the data and checksums in the HoF area. When you export from PKHeX, it fixes all checksums. So that area gets 'fixed', which isn't what your ROM hack expects, thus it appears as corruption. You could go with cheat codes for your device/emulator, if those work for this ROM hack.

    It's an old method that doesn't work when they updated the API. But certainly interesting, wasn't aware of this. Also, people would need to develop tools to read the code, else you have a bunch of random data. Which would work the same for the RAM dump. Anyhow, yeah if your Switch is patched then gotta RAM dump mobile variants. Technically you could still dump app packets, it's just that it is not human readable.

    https://projectpokemon.org/home/tutorials/save-editing/managing-gba-saves/ would do you good to poke around our tutorials section

    Not intentionally. PKHeX only provides support to official games. If the save for the ROM hack happens to work, good for you. But don't treat it as the default position of the program. Based on what you've posted, it seems you're suggesting the issue is related to the prompt. At the current stage I don't think that is so. Backstory: a lot of hack ROMs shift data around in the save, and depending on the severity of how and what is shifted, a save from a hacked ROM ranges from 'will load' to 'won't load' in PKHeX. Attempt at explanation (referencing backstory): just because a save will load into PKHeX, doesn't mean an edited save would load back into your ROM hack. It's possible that data was shifted to a degree that won't impact PKHeX operation, but when PKHeX attempts to save, it'll write 'the data correctly (as per unedited games)', which isn't what your ROM hack expects, so it loads up as corrupted. Anyhow, do you mind checking something out? I am curious about one thing. Load up an unedited ROM hack save into PKHeX, then click this, what does it say? Also, maybe upload the save

    try finding a different method to extract the save. are you on NDS or 3DS, and what are you using to extract the save?
  8. theSLAYER
    Not on bulbapedia Discord server, can't say for sure. What's the reason for asking?
  9. theSLAYER
    Dear kid, please understand, it can’t be done.

    If they belong to another trainer, then it needs a to have your current different trainer as HT, and current handler be HT.

    Maybe you're missed something, either in what you're telling us or what you've seen. So far: 1. Caught 3 Ralts and 3 Lotad on Japanese Emerald Using Ralts as an example, the 3 names are: ラルトス (unnicknamed), R A L T S , R a l t s (last 2 using native keyboard on Japanese Emerald) 2. Traded them to English Emerald. (names can also be seen here) 3. Pal Parked up 4. And in PKHeX.. As expected, they're all seen as JPN. Anyhow I doubt what you've said is a 'Mew-centric' mechanic.. It is to be noted that I do not think a language tag exists for Gen 4.. EDIT: Also looking deeper into your post, you probably just *thought* it was English. Language tags only started existing in summary screens in Gen 6. To be certain it isn't in English, you'll notice the spaces between letters are wider, and/or the letters are bigger. Japanese 'English font' versus Standard English Font (Not too mention, there is probably another issue; if you changed the nickname via PKHeX, it is likely you used the wrong font, if you didn't know that Japanese Gen 3-Gen 5 Roman character fonts are different from English games.. But I'm not going to throw that accusation out there just yet. More of an 'extra info' kinda thing for other readers) IN SUMMARY: Pal Park doesn't change your 'language of origin' when shifted upwards, even if your nickname matched Species name. You probably didn't know that language tags don't exist until Gen 6. And didn't notice the differences in font displayed.

    Gen 2 Pokemon’s data structure doesn’t contain the “ball caught in” parameter (that parameter was only introduced in Gen 3). So when any Gen 1 or 2 Mon is transferred up, it can only be in Poke Ball.

    I don’t think there was a tool for Pokémon GO? Tho I guess the next part I’m gonna say can partially work for GO too. just dump the RAM of HOME when logged into your phone and looking at the whole chunk of Pokémon. I I imagine the best way is to use some Android emulator and sign in to your account, then dump from there. Then look through the RAM data and look for the mons and extract them manually. all at your own risk tho. Pokémon games don’t like being on mobile emulators and I don’t know what would happen to your account if they detect such activity.
  14. theSLAYER
    This thread brought up interesting questions/scenarios. I would like to replicate the scenario for myself before pushing forward
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. theSLAYER
    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.
  19. theSLAYER
    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.
  20. theSLAYER
    I think RTC information got dumped with the save. Trimming the save allows it to be used with PKHeX Pokemon Gold.sav
  21. theSLAYER
    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…
  23. 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:
