That's true, although this "inconsistency" if you will, is not near the point where I would say "OK, this person, despite how close, is not being honest". Well, I agree that the data is certainly corrupted, and would by any tournament judge be declared as a hack. The thing is, the data is not necessarily representative of a person's integrity. I differentiate between the integrity of the data and the integrity of the person. For example, say person X receives a hacked Pokemon in a trade from person Y, but person Y does not tell person X that it is hacked (A fraud case essentially, with person X being the victim of the fraud). Person X then trades or gives the Pokemon to person Z, as far as person X knows, this Pokemon is legit, and thus tells person Z that it is fully legit etc. In this scenario, person X is not trying to lie or deceive person Z, and is being honest and telling the truth as far as they are aware. Looking from an objective standpoint, person X is, without being aware of it (And thus not responsible or accountable for it) conveying the lie of person Y to person Z. As I said I really don't know what to think of this, I guess I'll let it go with the wind. Anyway, once again, thanks for your time in helping me check the Charizard's data, peace man!

The Emerald Battle Tower. Yeah, neither have I, but being a computer guy in other areas as well, when you have enough cases, eventually something random can happen because the circumstances are just right. It's just a possibility I am leaving as an option for explaining some of this. My friend does not know how to do RNG abuse. Trust me, if it was anybody else I would have assumed that this was hacked a long time ago, but I just cannot believe that this person, of all people, would lie to me.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to look into this for me, I appreciate it. I really don't know what to think, this is a close friend of mine, and I just cannot imagine that this person would lie to me, or try to trick me in a malicious way. My friend told me that this Charizard was cloned several times over, and traded around between several games, maybe the data got corrupted then or something. After all, all the cloning tricks are glitches, maybe the game just happened to do something strange in this case. Anyway, again, thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Hmmm yeah that does seem a bit odd, not really sure what to think about it, as I said, my friend who gave me this Charizard has sworn to the end of the world that she bred it herself, and again I can't imagine her having a reason to lie to me.

Nintendo really can be a party buster at times! I tried uploading a video where Charizard was my only Pokemon and the other Pokemon was on my other DS, so I knew that was OK.

Information is always a good thing, so no need to apologies! And yeah the Charizard seems legit, the only issue is, as I said, that I can't upload any battle videos with it, thus if somebody uses that as a rough hack-check, he or she might think I was using a hacked Pokémon, which is not an impression I wanna give off. Do you know if there's like a rare case where Nintendo, for whatever reason, makes a false positive?

For personal reasons I am a little hesitant to actually post the file, but I just tried running the file through TrashBytes.exe to make sure, and it does not change anything, it still looks like the screenshot in my post above.

I'm pretty sure I already tried that, but nothing happened.

I recently was given a shiny Charizard from a friend of mine. No matter who gives me a Pokemon, before I use it, I check it to see whether it is hacked or not, just so that I know myself, as the person giving it to me might not be aware of any potential problems, ie. the following situation. The battle video test failed here, so I scratched my head over it and went to investigate further. The problem turned out to be that my friend had bred this shiny Charizard on a French version of Emerald, and then had migrated it to an American version of Pearl I believe. Here is what legal.exe says about it: I looked around for some information, and what generally seems to be the case is if the country originated is invalid, then it is a hacked Pokemon, how I also read the following: (Emphasis is mine) The Charizard, having a valid checksum, is not nicknamed, of course being and evolved Pokémon and is definitely migrated from a generation 3 game definitely seems to fit the three criteria above. Is there a way to fix this without the use of Pokesav, which I myself do not have access to, so that this data error causing this, according to my friend (Whom I have no reason to believe would lie to me) legit Pokémon to appear as if it's hacked, is fully like any other migrated Pokémon? Would it it be possible to use a HEX editor to change this? If yes, how do I do it?
