I thought I read that but I wasn't sure. So in the end there is nothing that these programs do that could flag your save file for hacking, unless of course the pokemon you hack are obviously hacked

So when these programs recalculate the checksum, is it to make it so that it seems untouched and legit, or in a sense, correct and how the game would do it?

About edit3, are you talking about pokegen or pokesav? BTW, what is exactly the point of the checksum changing/fixing, I am not very knowledgable about this

I am using a non-beta version (2.312). Though to my surprise today i loaded a legit .sav file into pokesav, saved, and compared it to a UT one and they were identical. @Codr: To answer your question of what I was talking about, and btw I am using version 2.231 of Pokegen, I give you a save file. Copy it and load and save one of them into pokegen and compare the two through hXd. You will see around 20-30 differences. Legit(HEX CHECK)Pokemon Platinum.sav

Yesterday I did some research on the differences between a UT Save file and .pkm file and a Pokesav touched one. It appears that when using Pokesav, if you simply load a Save file into pokesav and save it without making any changes, the coding does change to leave possible traces. Though it seems that for .pkm files there is no difference in a normal game generated pokemon and a pokesav/pokegen generated one. I have checked this by looking at the hex information and comparing it to edited information, for example: I used a game generated legit starly and copied it. The copy was then loaded into Pokesav and saved (it is identical LOOKING in everyway to the original), then I took the two and compared them in hXd and they were identical. I did the same with loading it into Pokegen and then saving, it was still identical to the legit one in everyway possible. I then took a legit save file and copied it 3 times, and loaded each one into either Pokesav, Pokegen, or PPSE and saved. However, when comparing them to the original one this time there were differences (small differences for Pokesav(easily fixable), larger for Pokegen, and VERY large hex difference with PPSE). I have not tested ARDS yet but plan to soon.

Thank you soo much Wait I looked at the Pokemon's OT info and the trash bytes read : (Name) 00 00 00 00 FF is that normal or shouldnt a pokemon ussualy have the (name) and the all FF?

I am in need of a COMPLETELY LEGAL Starly caught in Pokemon Platinum. I don't need it traded to me but I actually want it in a .pkm file. Species: Starly Location caught: Route 201 Other: Needs to be Legit///Game generated///You went and actually caught it yourself I am going to compare the Starly with a Pokesaved Starly that I will make identical to it to see if there is any difference in code. Thank you FLOOTENKERP: Legit pkm files don't exist. You're looking for legal. I edited it for you. Next time say legal instead of legit.
