Thank you.

What is the Met - Encounter type for Pokewalker-obtained pokes? Tall grass/Darkrai ?

Would one of the more experienced (read: OCD) checkers pick this apart and see if I did anything wrong? Thundercat - Electivire.pkm

I'm not sure what you're asking. There's a PKM file request a few forums over if you're looking for someone to make you a pokemon...

OCD and proud of it. Be nice to kaphotics, Codr I knew nothing when I started poking around making hacks a month ago and thanks to him I know slightly more than nothing. Even if Nintendo isn't that thorough in their legality checks, some people like to learn the nuances of the gaming code. It's the same little itch that makes you want to complete the damned pokedex.

Just a quick question... how does synchronize affect PIDs? Does it change the PID, or does it just overwrite the nature?

If you have an action replay, there is a code that will let you see your SID on your trainer card where your money is.

Oh... that encounter. Fixed, and thank you.

But it doesn't have the wrong encounter type...

Hm, I got this as a valid method 1 PID (since Legendary birds are Method 1). I also was under the impression that Zapdos had to be frame 1 or frame 6, since that is how it would be generated... Got that impression from here. I see alot of "Method 1/J/K"... how synonymous are the three methods? And yes, I did use pandora through a lot of trial and error... wasn't even deliberately looking for a shiny, just a modest with good stats on frame 1.

Additional info: seed: 4F6935C6 frame: 1 PID hex: D94ABB52

I decided to try something more complicated this time, building on what you guys have told me so far. Is it legal? Do the IVs/nature/PID/TID/SID and everything else look 100% perfect? No 99.9% stuff Shiny Zapdos.pkm

Minimum delay 1... Infinite Search... Delay ended up being 301313... is this bad?

Alright, I looked at pandora's box and I think I have corrected the legality of the ID. A second check would be appreciated.

Can I use this site to create/figure the legal IDs?

Aether, here is my understanding of your bolded words... kaphotics can correct me if I'm wrong (he's brilliant) ID Legality- Somewhere in the bowels of the game's program, something spits out your TID (Trainer ID that you see on your trainer card) and SID (Secret ID, which is invisible to the player and keeps to people with the same TID from being considered the "same" trainer). The odds of two players having the same TID and SID is something akin to being struck by lightning and winning the lottery on the same day. Personally, ID legality is something I don't know how you check yet. PID/IV relevance- Anyone with AR can overwrite IVs, EVs, Shiny status, etc. Just because you overwrite the values doesn't mean it will be legal in game from a checker's standpoint. Specific IVs, natures, and genders are all tied into a pokemon's PID (Personal ID that you will never see ingame). When you overwrite with an AR, versus actually taking the time and using the programs to find out which PID will generate the nature/IV/gender you want, you will appear hacked very quickly. This is why a lot of people who traffic in "hacked" pokemon raise flags... they just change a few numbers, but nothing with the PID. As kaphotics said, when it comes to non-shiny eggs-based hacks, IV is not related to the PID. All you have to do is find a PID with the nature/ability/gender that matches using a program called RNGreporter. Finding the right PID for shinies or wild pokemon is a little more difficult. I believe Pokegen has a built-in feature that will find an applicable PID if one exists. Sync checks and encounter slots, someone else will have to answer.

Thank you kaphotics, you've been a great help.

As title says, simple check requested on this pokemon to see how good of a PokeGen I did (still learning). Thank you for your time.

Thanks you kaphotics for taking the time to answer my posts. I clearly have a lot to learn. Anyways, my final pkm file... still probably flawed in the PID dept.

Select the egg PID... how? Where are the results given? Clicking generate never returns any result in the bottom window...

Still confused... Pokegen has a "Find PID" function where I selected entered species/IVs/nature/gender/ability/method and got the original PID which you said implies it is not an egg PID. What method should I be selecting for an egg? RNG Reporter is not returning anything on the primary screen. I selected "Breeding (HGSS) and went to "IVs to PID" screen. I can fiddle around and generate some PIDs there that show Method 2/3/4. Are any and all of them fine to use, and if so do I simply copy the PID and overwrite whatever is shown in Pokegen with this number from RNG Reporter? Sorry for the noobness, just have not been able to get any answers (or at least understand them) from reading a few hours on forums.

I entered the OT and nickname throught the charactermap that popped up, thinking it was required. Fixed the fields with qwerty. Requesting clarification for this. Got the original PID from Pokegen (method 1 A-B-C-D was selected). I read that Method 1 was for DPP/3rd gen Legends (I assumed HGSS also), 2/3/4 were 3rd gen wilds, and 10/11 were events. Could not find information what specifically the other methods were for or what I should use for an HGSS egg. I did DL RNG Reporter, but I'm not 100% certain where I should be generating my information. I've been in "IVs to PID/SEED" in RNG Reporter and "PID Finder" in Pokegen but the PIDs don't match up regardless what method I select. Pity the noob. Oversight, corrected.

Created a Pokegen pokemon and uploaded it to my SS for the first time. Was wondering if a veteran could take a quick glance at the pkm file and see if I missed anything.

Thanks in advance for the help. I have just recently figured out how to work Pokesav and Legality (yay) but cannot get my first pokemon AR code to create the pokemon it is supposed to. I copied the AR code from Pokesav to my AR but when I press L+R nothing happens. I tried having a trash pokemon and no pokemon in the party slot I wish to have the new pokemon in. I'm using ARDSi and SS. AR code: PKM file: [ATTACH]5456[/ATTACH] Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Is anyone able to help me with this request?
