Misconfigured size. It should be 128KB, not 64KB. The recovery program works just fine at reformatting your save data. projectpokemon/RecoverSaveGen3: Try and recover a Gen3 save file via console app! Pokemon - Fire red (1).sav.fixed

PKHeX does not support save states. Just changing the file extension does not convert it into a save file. Dump the save file from your cartridge/console after properly saving in game.

Unable to replicate. If you can upload the original file from your backups that you can confirm does expand the save file, please do.

The answer to your generic question is "it depends". Truly random encounters (csprng for every call): no correlation Random-enough encounters: no correlation -- examples are gen5 wilds that use a 64-bit RNG but only have 32-bit PID, nature,gender,encounter rolls Somewhat-random encounters: correlation. can figure out an RNG seed quickly (Tera/SWSH raids), or via bruteforce (shiny dynamax adventure raids, PLA captures, BDSP breeds) Others generate with fixed data (like HOME gifts), and must match what the encounter requires.

Your save file size (0x1F880) is not the same as that mentioned in the linked GitHub issue (0x1FFF0). It is 0x790 bytes too small from what has been document as "usual" save file sizes. If you are able to determine why your emulator is under-sizing the save data relative to other emulators, please share that info. Otherwise, you can try manually padding the file size in a hex editor to one of the expected sizes (0x1FF00 or 0x20000) and your file loads in the program.

Thanks, fixed on latest commit: https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/commit/ca03311d212a7ef395a674fe8eaec6634e76a757

There isn't a suggestion for that. Added in latest commit: Add $suggest for friendship properties · kwsch/PKHeX@5376d44 Try on the development build.

The "9" character is just 0xFF, the maximum value for a byte. An ID of FFFF is 65535. Probably just data corruption that FF'd a chunk of your save data.

For these events with a fixed Ability/Nature/Gender, they're distributed with a specific PID. If the faked PID/PGT is giving the wrong ability, then it would need to be corrected with the right PID.

Can't know for sure because I don't think the PCD was ever contributed. It might be a fake of a fake. The original PGT had Chlorophyll for both the PID%2 as well as the AbilityID in the pkm data.

Open it in a hex editor and it's obvious it's not a Gen4 save file.

Moved from PKHeX, as PKHeX uses the EventsGallery to source pcd redemptions. I traced the origin of the data (originally committed as a reconstructed `pgt` file, then later converted to PCD then WC4): Adds reconstructed pikachu cafe tangrowth · projectpokemon/EventsGallery@4962acf · GitHub Was uploaded with a fixed PID and ability of Chlorophyll. I'm not sure the other sites you've referenced are correct. Serebii has no event data logged, and I found another site which indicates it is Chlorophyll instead of Leaf Guard: Viewing Event Pokémon Details - PocketMonsters.Net

When did the encounter become available, and when did the program last update?

PKHeX's word filter is proactive in that the most recent word filters (Nintendo Switch) will also be used to check in the contexts of Generation 6 and 7. Why is it this way? To warn you in advance that it will be flagged/blocked when transferred to future games, and/or OT names/nicknames will be wiped on trade. Additionally, the program is retroactive and will check previous contexts (like Gen5) if the entity has passed through that context. You can toggle a setting within the program to only use the current context's word filter.

Well, it's not legitimate, it's illegal. The program is working as intended. This thread is for reporting unmodified-game Pokemon; having any cheat codes active or modifying something to be shiny is not legitimate.
