(also, we both can't see the Unown challenge)

I'm on Android and I can't see the Unown challenge despite having every Unown form deposited. So who knows what the deal is there.

Is it a full rebuild of the original machine? Will it give all the Pokemon given at the time or just the ones people were able to recover?

 

I'd assume that the generation algorithm is the same for all of these Pokemon with the OT/ID/Secret ID being the only difference.

There it is!

The one I linked to? I'll check it and see if I renamed the wrong file. The gallery needs updating still, but GitHub should be correct.

Yes, the GitHub one.

I just checked the save in PKHeX and it still only has 425 Mews.

If it's indeed a save flag, comparing a before and after save may help to locate the flag.
(Plus if DS homebrew wiping the save can fix the problem, then it's almost definitely something stored on the save)

I'm presently under the impression that it's a special flag on the save, that doesn't get overwritten, if you restart the game/save legitimately.
 (it gets carried over to your new save)

Yeah that was my impression. Mega Man Zero 3 had something identical. It could send a special battle chip to Mega Man Battle Network 4, which was also once per cart. But like with Ranger, you can use a homebrew program to completely wipe the save so you could send more of that battle chip.

Only way I know to reset the flag is to use a DS homebrew program to completely wipe the save.

Based on the official page, it's probably not encounterable in LGPE.

its likely a research reward that has to be transferred into LGPE in order to be able to be redeemed.

yeah, that glitch with a remnant Ditto was pretty interesting tho

I hope you don't need Go and Let's Go to get it in Gen 8. A lot of Pokemon players either don't care about Go or lack a smartphone.

We know that they had a Blastoise in Team and that they released it after they generated the first 5 Mews. The 5th Mew of the first batch remained in the Team until the end.

So that points to the second possibility I listed. Wouldn't make sense to leave that last party spot empty when they could easily fill it with one more Mew.

I can think of a couple of possibilities for the empty spot:
1. They never generated a sixth party Mew because it's impossible to have a completely empty party after you get your starter.
2. They released that non-Mew Pokemon then generated the last Mew before cloning the save to the carts that were sent out.

Either sounds possible considering none of the carts seen in the wild have been untouched. Regardless, it's still absolutely amazing that you managed to generate these five with those pesky trash bytes intact.

I gave the french date which is not the same apparently as English ones, so strange

Oh so it's also 2003 in the French translation. Interesting.

Does anyone know what the Alpha Saphire Jirachi's Easter Egg refer to?

I mean the date : 07/10/2003

Does that correspond to any event or thing related to Jirachi?

It's likely 07/07/2003 (07/07/2002 when playing in a language other than Spanish), since July 7th is the data of the Japanese festival Tanabata, which Jirachi is inspired by.

This is the variant I got with my Japanese copy of Colosseum back in 2015. Guess the Japanese eBay seller I got it from pre-ordered at a Pokemon Center or got it from someone else who did.

How do you know it has all the wonder cards?

I mean it has all of the European language Aurora Ticket Wonder Cards. We found that out during the effort Real96 helped with.

@ajxpk Yeah, I think all the Wonder Cards that'll show up have already done so. Guess now we can move onto disassembling the Aurora Ticket ROM and see how we can get it to send to everything.

On this note, I realized that getting our hands on the Europe Aurora Ticket ROM would be VERY useful because it contains ALL of the Wonder Cards AND can send to Emerald in addition to FRLG.

theSLAYER Is the cartridge events part of your projects?

For example this:

*snip*

All of the known US and European Gen 4 and 5 distro ROMs have been dumped and can be found via a Google search.

1. Kartana is certainly based on origami.
While it means "folding paper", the word gami can also be punned into meaning "God". Items becoming dieties or lesser demons in Japanese culture isn't uncommon. Maybe it signifies the man's might create a powerful enough weapon that can be revered, and it has the potential to wipe all of us out?

That's also supported by its Japanese name, Kamitsurugi (カミツルギ). I'm seeing that kami written as 紙 means "paper" while kami written as 神 means "deity" or "God". "Tsurugi" written as 剣 means "sword". So it could either mean "paper sword" or "deity/God sword". Or maybe even "paper deity/God sword". Hard to say, really.

I'm also seeing "kartana" is Sanskrit for "cutting" (written as कर्तन), which is also a fitting meaning. It should also be noted that Kartana is currently the only Pokemon that learns Cut by level up, and many of its other level up moves involve cutting or slashing (Air Cutter, Razor Leaf and Sacred Sword to name a few). Man, GameFreak REALLY thought this out. And some fans say they're running out of ideas. 

I got the newsletter last month so hopefully it won't take long to get it this month.

Edit: Recently I found the Cartridge distribution for Shiny Zigzagoon (UK) and Aurora Ticket (US)

Yeah, we already know where to get those.

i didn't find any others, but did you go through the DS distribution ROMs?

I don't have any experience with digging into ROMs.

According with this post I sent you an e-mail with a little information about the "Mystic Ticket TGC World Championship 2005", I have that WC3 file and is the same information in comparation with the others "Mystic Ticket" files. some weeks ago I found the gba file for this Wonder Card, I mean the distribution cartridge as gba file.

Sounds like it could be an Aurora Ticket ROM with the Mystic Ticket .wc3 injected. Does the ROM you found have a select screen for different variations of the Mystic Ticket or is it just the TCG World Championships 2005 one?

What's the status on the multiboot collection? Any new ones obtained or that can be obtained?

Since this is a TCG tie-in, I expect this'll come to the West sometime.

So the reason I didn't get any name issues was because I injected the .pk1 into a Gen 1 VC save then traded to Gen 2 VC. Which is exactly what I figured.

I never got the VC Mew nickname issue on Gen 2. Though I traded from legit Gen 1 VC to legit Gold VC so maybe that's the reason. I'd test a Gen 1 VC to Crystal VC trade but I'm not far enough in Crystal yet.
