Hey guys, I'm new here. I have been going around the site and forums to find information on improving my game, getting certain pokemon that I would have otherwise not gotten and so on.
Now, it seems that there is way too much information for me to trim the fat and get the ideas clear, and occasionally I have been unable to find answers.
You guys have done some great work on the hacking software that you have been developed for these games.
Now, down to the questions shall we?
Can Pokegen edit save files?
I have the legit (no piracy/flash card copies here)English versions of D/P/Pt/HG/SS/B/W from all over the world (US & Canada/EU/AUS & NZ/Singapore etc. Yes I travel a lot.). The english versions, irrespective or region are identical right?
How can I add Wonder Cards of events that I missed to my game? I understand that I need to take a dump of the .sav file and then do it. But how do I edit the save file?
Can I add foreign language Wonder Cards to English games? If yes, will that cause glitches or will the pokemon gotten through them be illegal? I do not want to do it if the pokemon will be detected as illegal. The non-English versions sometimes get some awesome stuff that the English versions do not.
Is there any software that I can use to distribute wonder cards?
Why do event Key Items not work when added without the mystery gift while the event pokemon work? For example, my Celebi and Pichu worked. They were created via Pokegen and the stats have been copied from the event database present in this site. Even the arceus did.
If I have to insert the wonder card into my save files, how do I remove the extra copy of the event-only key items?
Are there any event pokemon in G-IV and G-V games that trigger in-game events? I only know of the Celebi-Giovanni and Shiny pichu events.
I have also got Pokemon Emerald (again English version), and I want to add the Mystery Gift/Event items to the game. How do I go about that? I am also looking for the other GBA pokemon games. Where can I get them (in English)?
Please list all the hardware I need to purchase to do any of the modifications. I currently have a DS Lite and a DSi. I do plan to buy an SMS4 for the save file extraction. If there is a better alternative, I'm all ears. Also, I'd like to keep expenses down to a minimum. I have no plans to run homebrew applications or pirated games. All I want to do is be able to "catch 'em all" in my pokemon games.
A question unrelated to modifications: Will the Hoenn triad get remakes?
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and helping a newbie to enhance his pokemon games!
Please try to post in a very clear manner and if it will be a long post please separate everything into short paragraphs so as to make it easier for me to read.
