Poke J

I completely forgot about that aspect of the walker. I’ll have to check a RAM dump of one of my trainers in the Trainer House to see what the Pokémon data is like for these Pokémon.

Lugia can’t know those moves in BDSP since when transferring from HOME to BDSP all moves are removed and replaced with ones it can learn in BDSP. Same goes for SWSH and PLA. Only exception with SWSH is when Pokémon are transferred from past games it will retain those moves.

I won’t be able to help you since I don’t play many ROM hacks, but it might help if you state which hack you are playing since there are a lot of ROM hacks out there. Another option to get help is to find the forum where the creator of the hack posted about the hack and ask there.

To answer your questions in order: 1) Battle Version are for and can only be set to Pokémon not from a gen 8 game. As well as of writing this the only valid Battle Versions are Sword and Shield. The purpose of Battle Version is to allow Pokémon from older games to partake in Ranked Battles, but it’ll wipe all of the known moves from the Pokémon which means it can only learn moves that the Pokémon can learn in gen 8. 2) It depends on multiple things, but first and foremost Toxic isn’t a TM or TR in Sword and Shield. If you set the Battle Version on Kyoger it will no longer be able to know Toxic since all of its moves got wiped and it can now only learn moves available in Sword and Shield. The other thing that could be preventing it from learning Toxic is if it was obtained from a gen 8 game which means it can only learn the moves it would learn in Sword and Shield which Toxic isn’t one of those moves.

Good to know. I wasn’t aware that The pattern on Spinda was retained. With that info defiantly a RAM dump can get the important info needed to reconstruct the Pokémon.

Without the original game save it isn't.

From my understanding of how the PokeWalker works is that there isn't really a save file. When a Pokémon is sent to the walker the index of the Pokémon is set on the walker so it appears that the Pokémon is with you when in actuality the Pokémon is still on the game. That is why you can call the Pokémon back if the PokeWalker is lost or battery is dead.

I think the reason people don’t know how to convert gen 1/2 to gen 3 - 6 since there is no legal method to do this. The best one could do is transfer them to gen 8 onward, but since they are gen 1/2 event they will not be legal.

Are you wanting any pattern as long as they are the same patter or you’re wanting that pattern in the picture. If it’s the patters from the picture those patters only exist in PoGO and the anime thus can’t be in the games.

You’d have to have to use ROM hacking tools to figure that one out, you could try asking the ROM hack’s creator for that list, if you already have a Pokémon with that move you can see what it replaced, or by trial and error.

No, if PKHeX is able to read the save in the first place the move will either come up as nothing iirc or will be a different gen 3 move. The save just stores values and the ROM interstates those values as per what the ROM has been told what those values mean. For example if ROM hack replaces Tackle with Moonblast the ROM hack will read it as Moomblast, but everywhere else will read it as Tackle.

You're right that using PKHeX will cause a lose of information in this case, but that is due to move information from all games not being stored in the Pokémon data. Each move a Pokémon knows for which game is stored in Pokémon HOME's database and will modify the moves based on what information HOME has. So unless you do the transfer correctly there will always be a data loss since PKHeX is unable to know what moves the Pokémon use to know. So it isn't such much as a glitch and more so a side effect as to how Pokémon transfer works between games.

@Teal Mahogany I’m not familiar with OpenEmu, but does it allow you to dump the RAM? If it does I think I might know a way to change your Seadra to Kingdra.

I'm not a mod, but I suggest you delete your attached file since it contains ROMs and those are not allowed to be uploaded to this forum.

What I meant was there are no save editors that I know of that will work for Radical Red. PKHeX does not support ROM hack save, but ROM hacks that do not modify the structure of the original save to much similar to Kaizo Emerald can be recognized as the original game. However, in that case the legality check will not work and will probably flag everything as not legal.
