Thanks for sharing something that could easily be googled?

You don't get to keep your old name "for reserve." Choose a username and if someone shows up and registers the old one, then why does that matter?

You don't need two DSes. You do however need to have access to a game, a working save file, and either an Action Replay (or ARDSi if you have a DSi) or a flash card (again, flash cards have compatibility variations depending on DS or Dsi).

I'm going to type in big red letters so you can't possibly miss it, because you obviously didn't bother looking through the forums at all. This isn't just to you, but to every user who is using the Contrib threads from here and previous ones as their own personal Q&A forum. THIS IS THE EVENT CONTRIBUTION THREAD NOT THE ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEARCH FIRST THREAD. IF YOU ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING AN EVENT, DISCUSSING A RECENTLY CONTRIBUTED EVENT, OR SAYING YOU'LL BE GETTING AN EVENT THAT YOU'LL EVENTUALLY CONTRIBUTE, YOU SHOULD THINK TWICE (OR THRICE OR MORE) BEFORE CLICKING THE "SUBMIT REPLY" BUTTON Also, again, answering your question which again, you could've searched for: You cannot generate pkm files from a game cartridge. They cannot magically transfer to a computer. By definition, a pkm file is not legit because it involves using an external device to extract it from the game cart to the computer. I don't know what you "heard" but the person either lied to you or you made it up. Search and you'll see the same announcement. It's at the top of every single forum. Also, this is the projectpokemon.org forums. We are in no way associated with pkmdb.com (besides Fenzo used to admin here and we have similar materials we both cover) and cannot speak on their behalf. Why you are asking about pkmdb.com on projectpokemon.org is a complete mystery to me.

Good right now. No reason they couldn't have done it a year or two ago. But for anyone who has ever played those systems, it's relevant to keep in mind, especially if one considers these old systems their favorites. It's a double standard if someone loved the N64 or SNES and ignored the shovelware but criticize a future system for having too much. Shovelware, in my opinion, does not indicate quality of a system because there's usually little to nothing the game console manufactutrer can do about it. But if you're going to praise one despite shovelware, you shouldn't detract from other consoles BECAUSE of it. But it is subjective. Glitchy is somewhat definable and objective. Frustrating or "waste of money" is very, very subjective. To the average Wii owner, Pokemon Battle Revolution would be a "waste of money." But to someone with 4th gen core Pokemon games on the DS, it gives them easy access to certain items, some exclusive bonus Pokemon, and a world wide 3d environment to compete in from players around the world. You completely missed my point. Hundreds or thousands or a million or a zillion, it doesn't matter how many games are released on a console for the sake of this argument. Using a number I guessed at proved my point just as well. That no one is going to like much, if not most, hundreds (or thousands or millions or zillions) of games released on a console. I don't know what video games you play, but I stick to ones that I like. And I don't play the ones I don't like. I don't see why people rate a console lower just because there's a bunch of other games out that don't appeal to them. Because that's likely true for every console. lol urbandictionary is not an actual dictionary. Again shovelware is not just a bad game or waste of money or whatever. Bad is extremely subjective and just because I don't like a game doesn't make it a game of poor quality. Games that are rushed through development or hastily ported mostly to cash in and promote a franchise quickly. These are very objective terms of measurement and still allow a game to be favored or not in an individual's eyes and still have a factual definition of shovelware. These are usually, as I mentioned earlier, games tied in to some type of franchise such as games based on a movie. A clone of a game can still be a good game to someone, no matter how much you don't like it. So hence, saying clone/shovelware as if they're interchangeable is misrepresenting both words. Also, ironically, Rushn Attack came out BEFORE Ninja Gaiden. 1985 vs 1988. If anything, Gaiden is the clone, not Rusn'n Attack. You yourself said every console has a ton of shoveware on it. Then you said how could I think the Wii has a similar amount of shovelware on ti as others. Simple. You said it yourself. Every console has "a ton" on it. Maybe to someone with patience like me. But when games are marketed to a younger audience, I know I wouldn't have put up with the bullshit that was Dobbleganger in Maximum Carnage when I was young(er).

It has a unique OT/ID/SID. If you have already gotten the Gamestop Pichu, you won't be able to get this.

They aren't developing. It's finished and is out in Japan. IT's getting a NA release soon too.

This topic is several months old. While there is no rule against "graveyarding" a thread, make sure you have something relevant to add to the discussion.

They are actual events, but because they are literally just normal Pokemon with OT/ID#s from people in the Daisuki Fan Club, there is no real way to verify their legality.

If a year is something too long of a contract for you, I doubt you have use for hosting that provides high bandwidth.

Search before posting. Specify what game. Consider this your warning, please.

Sisee is right. There are also have been the CHANNEL Jirachi event in Europe. I'm probably forgetting another couple from Japan. What the article should say is there is no other legal way to obtain it in 4th gen games without Pal-Park.

These are old GBA events. GBA Events ahve the trouble of finding out their legality. TLDR is if you didn't receive it yourself, it's debatable as to if any hosted pkm file is legal.

How can they do that? It's not like DS' have IP addresses (just the routers they use) The GTS has a legality check for Pokemon. It does not actually ban the trainer. The Battle Video share also has a legality check. I got a "this Pokemon can not be traded" two nights ago. Picked up a Ditto a few hours ago.

You won't even need to unlock Mystery Gift. It'll automatically open up once it detects the wireless signal of the distribution event.

All Wi-Fi Battle requests go in the sticky thread in 4th gen game discussion in the D/P/Plat forum.

While I'm not too knowledgable about the flashcart industry, I do know that the original manufacturers of the R4 went out of business. All that exists now are clones, which is a fancy word for knock off. Many peoeple also tell me that the R4 is basically the worst flashcart, but for a time, it was the cheapest, hence it's popularity. Anyway, very few flashcarts are compatible with the DSi. I know Acekard (or however you spell it) is. Do some research on it. randomspot555 uses CLOSE ATTACK

Thanks, but we don't really need random shinies. I know the topic is a bit misleading, so here's what we are looking for: In-Game Trades from NPCs Gift Pokemon from NPCs (like Bill's Eevee from FR/LG, Stevean's Beldum in Emerald) Pokemon placed in unusual locations, usually showing some type of sprite before a battle (Sudowoodo in Emerald, Snorlax on those routes in Kanto, legendary Pokemon, etc...) Starter Pokemon received from the Professors Pokemon from the Pokeradar Yknow, stuff like that. In the next few weeks, I'm going to compile all the Pokes in this thread from posters who say they caught their contributions themselves and then I'll notify Sabresite of what I have. And I might be able to fill in some gaps myself.

You can't just magically transfer Pokemon to the Wii console. You have to have a compatible game. Pokemon: Battle Revolution doesn't transfer Pokemon from the DS to the Wii, but makes a copy of your Pokemon to be used on PBR. There is a legality check during the transfer, and if your Pokemon is caught during that, it'll show up as a Bad Egg. For example, any Pokemon that has more than 510 EVs or 255 in one stat will be turned into a Bad Egg. My Pokemon Ranch, to my knowledge, has no legality check.

Off-Topic is not your personal tech help forum. Even if it was, you need to say much more than "My generic device is having trouble, what do I do?"

I think it's important to stress that on so-called suicide leads (basically only Aerodactyl and Azelf), their ONLY purpose is to lay down Stealth Rock. If they're able to do anything else, consider it a bonus. So lets first analyze Aerodactyl (Shogun, feel free to use whatever I write to edit into your guide, but please credit me for whatever I contribute). Aerodactyl's base speed is 130. He is outsped by Ninjask and Electrode. He is tied with Crobat, Jolteon, and other Aerodactyls. Ninjask actually doesn't pose a problem to Aerodactyl at all. Aerodactyl resists Bug type attacks, and that's all lead Ninjask will carry, if it carries anything on it at all. This is one of the few instances where you should ALWAYS use Taunt before Stealth Rock. If Ninjask Protects on Turn 1, the worst that can happen is they'll pass +1 speed to someone. If they substitute or stat up in some way, then they won't be able to do ANYTHING. Then go ahead and use Stealth Rock. Using Stealth Rock first pretty much guarantees that Ninjask can pass +2 speed and +2 Attack to someone. Don't risk. Taunt it first and then use Stealth Rock. Electrode is a problem because it has access to Taunt and is faster than Aerodactyl. If you have a counter, probably someone who can absorb an Explosion, then switch out. Even though Aerodactyl might be able to beat Electrode one on one, you don't want Aerodactyl at 1 HP when you're trying to get him back into the game. Electrode also has access to Rain Dance, so it might be a sign that Kingdra and friends are coming. That being said, it is rarely used in the OU game. Jolteon is very rarely used as a starter because it can't do much set up, as leads tend to do. It can't even Taunt. Stealth Rock first, and hope you get the speed tie when you try to Earthquake it on turn 1. Crobat and other Aerodactyl can cause some problems. The regular two attacks for lead Aero are Earthquake and Rock Slide/Stone Edge. However, I've been carrying Rock Tomb on mine. With 90% accuracy, it'll lower your opponent's speed by one stage. This provides a handy 2HKO on Aerodactyl. Crobat is a bit bulkier than Aerodactyl and has access to Hypnosis, so it might be wise to switch out to a counter so you can bring Aerodactyl in later. Trick-Scarf users (not Jirachi): Just go ahead and take the Trick. You weren't expecting to live long enough anyway. Scarf Jirachi: This guy is annoying, isn't he? Now everyone just assumes it'll be Scarf Jirachi even if the lead is Body Slam Stealth Rock Jirachi. What I personally do is try Stealth Rock first. If I flinch, switch to a bulky water to resist Iron Head. Switch back to Aerodactyl and then set up SR. Now, I could go on and go down the rest of the leads such as Anti-Lead Fake Out users, Draco Meteor-Extreme Speed Dragonite, etc... but just remember: Aerodactyl's main goal is to set up Stealth Rock. Anything besides that is a bonus. The Pokemon outlined above (besides Jolteon and Ninjask) may actually stop Aerodactyl from doing that, which is why they're the threats to watch out for.

Just because you're able to beat someone on Wi-Fi doesn't prove much. It just shows that your opponent kinda sucks. Umbreon is one of the easiest Pokemon to come in and set up on, if not just completely KO it by yourself. At worst, Scizor and come in, get Mean Looked, and U-Turn out. I've all too often been able to set up massive amounts of Curse or Swords Dance on Umbreon. Toxic Orbed Breloom is also a decent counter since it can't be put to sleep.

If it can breed, just hatch it from an egg. Hatched Pokemon do not have a PID-IV correlation so any combination of IVs can result in a shiny.

You're still wrong. You can not make a legit Pokemon via Pokesav. That's the OPPOSITE of a legit Pokemon. Legit: From the game using no external devices to modify the game save file or the cart. Legal: Falls within the bounds of legal in-game parameters but was created with the use of an external device. Illegal: Falls outside the legal in-game parameters and was created with the use of an external device. Example: I hatch a Caterpie egg in my game. That is legit. If I then upload that pkm file from my save file to this post, and then someone makes an AR code and generates it on their game, that Pokemon is now "legal". It was hacked onto the game but breaks no legal parameters.
