To be honest, I don't care what anyone does with their game.

I used an AR to get my Secret ID, check IVs/EVs, 100% Catch Rate for Legendaries.

I also used an AR on my platinum game for the items to get Darkrai and Shaymin, plus the Manaphy egg from Pokemon Ranger.

I haven't been using PokeGen. The generator I'm talking about is "PKMDS Pokemon Generator by CodeMonkey85"

I have yours downloaded, just thought it was a little more confusing than that one. I can make a pokemon in like 10 seconds I have it so down, then just edit whatever in Pokesav.

Ok, here we go. Maybe I'm confusing us.

Ok, that's a legit Tyrogue PKM file that I bred with a Ditto, got the egg, ran up and down Goldenrod to get it to hatch. No codes, hacks, whatever were used. I then sent that PKM file to my PC to look at it via Pokesav.

Now, it's showing 126 x 256 [steps]

What does this mean?

The Poliwag I bred showed 120 x 256 [steps]

Now I ask because... if you just go to the Pokemon generators to make one from scratch it usually comes out as 70 x 256 for everything. Without using that, and just doing it from scratch in Pokesav. It'd be blank. How do you know exactly what to put there so it's "legal", not to pass legal.exe, but to pass an eye test from people who know what to look for.

Hopefully I cleared this up a little bit.

How do you convert that then to be correct in Pokesav or even your program?

For example, Tyrogue hatches in 6,400 basic steps. Taking a legit PKM file from the game where I hatched a Tyrogue by running up and down Goldenrod City, Pokesav shows it as 126x256...lol

Great work, I have a question though.

For the Pokedex PKMs, are they all considered "legal" for gameplay?

No way of figuring out what each Pokemon's value is without hatching a legit one first, huh? It's kind of important having the correct value I would imagine.

Oh well, maybe I'll do one w/ Fast Hatch AR code and just use that for all my Pokemon.

Alright, the only issue I'm having with making hatched Pokemon right now is figuring out the Steps Left part. I sent a couple PKM files from my game to my PC of legit hatched Pokemon so I could look at them in Pokesav. One of them being Poliwag showing 120x256 for Steps Left and the other being Tyrogue showing 136x256 for Steps Left. All of these numbers grey'd out in Pokesav.

I normally use a Pokemon Generator and then edit the Pokemon within Pokesav, everything is coming up as 70x256 for Steps Left. How do you know what's the right amount of steps to put? I know I can look up the base steps for each pokemon. But the game doesn't just used "Hatched in 6,400 steps".

Suicune was Route 25 and Raikou was Route 35.

I know all the hex values are correct because I caught them legit and then sent the .pkm files to my PC were I just created better ones copying the data.

I guess it'll be a little annoying to have all my HGSS Pokemon showing Faraway Place, but oh well.

Question, Pokemon Platinum is my main cartridge and the game I do all my battling in. Today I decide to trade over a SS Suicune and Raikou I created via Pokesav.

It's showing up in Platinum as "Faraway Place". Did I do something wrong? or is that correct?

Trying to make a HG Ho-Oh, what's the 85th Hex Value? I'm assuming it's "Caught in a Building" which would be "09". Can anyone confirm that as correct before I continue?

Is there a little tutorial for that program? there was no readme on how to use it. Is it within that big thread? If I could save money and do what I'm trying, that'd be great.

Cool, I'll give that a try. I need to pick up the Card Reader and Micro SD Card. Thanks!

That's to transfer a .pkm file from Pokesav to my game, right? I want to take a .pkm file from my game and put it on my PC.

Maybe I'm wording it wrong. I want to be able to put a .pkm file from my game onto my action replay, so I can check it on my computer via Pokesav. Is that possible?

I spent an hour searching google before I asked here. Not having any luck.

You know when you ask someone on the gamefaqs trade forum if they can check you Pokemon. They have you trade it to them, then they check it on their computer via Pokesav. That's what I want to do, but I'm not sure what I need to do it and I cannot find any info anywhere.

That's what I want to do, upload a .pkm file onto Pokesav to check it. Is that possible w/ the AR?

Just if the Pokemon I'm receiving via trades are legit or bad hacks. I know how to use Pokesav, so i figure I'd be able to spot bad hacks.

I want to be able to check the Pokemon I'm traded in Pokesav instead of asking others to do it for me. I have a DSi XL and an Action Replay, is that enough? or do I need something else?

Any guide around on how to just check a .pkm file from the game to my PC? Google isn't being very helpful.

Eep, forgot about that. Natural Cure is Ability 1 according to Smogon (which I believe lists them in the correct order), so while your PID is still valid and legal, anyone poking into the file can see that it's not 100% legit.

Is this true as far as ability 1 and 2? because Smogon's order is different from everyone elses. I've been using Bulbapedia, the Pokedex on this forum. Does anyone know for sure which site has the accurate order for these abilities????

So I'm trying to make a Heatran, I keep getting Common NDS in legal. The guide says Normal NDS is what you should be getting for Wild/Legendary Pokemon.

Is there a difference?

Nevermind, found my answer. Delete please.

Would that be the same thing? or would ours using Pokesav come up as Illegal/Hacked by Nintendo's checker?

I have no intentions of trading, I'm just doing it for my own personal fun.

The people who RNG abuse get perfect Pokemon all the time thru breeding, right?

I plan to try the other methods soon, want to read more about it.

Hatched seemed the easiest, so I went with that.

Thank you for the response though.

Oh yeah, is it normal to say "Egg apparently hatched."? I'm making these on Platinum and then trading them to Soul Silver.

New to this Pokesav stuff, looked like fun being able to make whatever you want. I've run them through the legality check thing and everything comes up ok.

But now as I lurk more around here I'm seeing stuff about Type 1 only being legit, Trashbytes(??), hex values, etc

I know for sure I picked Types higher than 1 for some of the hatched Pokemon I made, here's a couple. Am I doing anything wrong? Thank you in advance...
