BlackShark

You need to unblock the plugin first. Right click the file, go to properties and check 'Unblock'. Windows tends to block dll files from the internet for security reasons.

Just load your save file. PKHeX supports any game from Gen 1 - Gen 8, including Sun/Moon. Don't get confused by the default/blank save file opening PKHeX, that doesn't mean others are not supported anymore. Under Options > Settings you can change the black save version to anything you want.

svdt is for 3DS games only (and not recommended anymore). Use Checkpoint as a save manager (it's for 3DS and NDS saves) if you have custom firmware installed https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint/releases/latest, you can find a tutorial here https://projectpokemon.org/tutorials/save-editing/managing-nds-saves/using-checkpoint-r70/ If you are using homebrew without CFW you can use TWLSaveTool https://github.com/TuxSH/TWLSaveTool/releases/latest, you can find a tutorial here https://projectpokemon.org/tutorials/save-editing/managing-nds-saves/using-twl-save-tool-r59/

Found the pointers to the wondercard in Japanese Diamond: 0x30BC20 points to 0x100100 0x30BC50 points to 0x100000 It doesn't look like there's any other pointer nearby. The first pointer seems to exists in US Diamond at 0x2FC7AC.

If you replace every byte from 0xC0 - 0xFFFFF with zeros the distribution cart still works without difference if I remember correctly. So I suppose these bytes are unrelated to the distribution functionality. In that area you can find the image you can see when booting on a GBA, showing ZP3J (offset 0x514) as well as 9 more similar images.

Oh sorry, I totally forgot about that!

No, you need the WC that matches you languge version. You can check the Events Gallery on Github if it has not been uploaded here yet https://github.com/projectpokemon/EventsGallery/blob/master/Released/Gen 7/Wondercards/ITA/1635 USUM - Poni Shiny Tapu Fini (ITA).wc7full

You can use the following tool by suloku to unlock the third Pokemon in a Friend Safari without waiting for the person to go online. Editing which Pokemon will be available in the safari is not possible with save editing. Even though the relevant data is stored in the save file, it gets re-synchronized with you friend list each time you start your game.

I have never used the My Boy! Emulator, but if other cheats work I see no reason why these shouldn't work as well.

Here is the file you are looking for By the way the Events Gallery has a section for each language of each generation. Here you can find all available Spanish wonder cards from ge 4 https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/category/21-spanish/

The end of Wifi back in the NDS/Wii era was mostly because of the shutdown of the GameSpy servers, which were used by Nintendo. Sure, I don't think they cared much about keeping Wifi alive, if that would have even been possible (I don't know if there are any important GameSpy related URLs or certificates inside the games), but it might have lasted longer. I still don't think the end of online activity on the 3DS is near yet, but well anything is possible.

It is possible to create "fake friends" that will let you access the safari. I just don't know any open source homebrew that can do this yet. Unlocking the third slot of a safari can be done by save editing. Where did you even get the info about Nintendo discontinuing Nintendo Network for 3DS? I never heard about that and I don't think it will happen soon. They still release games for the 3DS with online activities.

You should use PKHeX since A-Save is outdated.

Ranger 1 saves are encrypted, you will have to crack that first.

That's probably a mechanism that avoids the console from beeing closed. I remember we had a GBA SP to try out different games each week or so at a local store years ago. It had a similar looking metal clamp screwed to the back. Besides beeing an anti-theft mechanism it prevented people from closing or turning of the console.

Save block 4 offset 0x2B1 is set to 1 when Wishmaker Jirachi was received. That's at 0x82B1 in your Post Jirachi save file.

First of all many thanks for all the new features and fixes that were added over the past months! So, I tried the recently added blank save selection. So far it works good, but selecting any gen 3 save file will bring up the FRLG version selection window. When you select either FR or LG PKHeX starts throwing multiple exception. Starting with the following And while I'm already talking about it, just a minor suggestion: Currently there are 2 windows popping up when opening FRLG saves. First an alert telling you that such a save was detected and next the actual selection window. I'm ok with how it currently is, but can't they be merged into a single window by putting the text from the alert window above the dropdown of the selection window? Thanks for reading

The phonebook is in the save file at 0xC0EC - 0xC136. An empty book is filled with 0xFF, a full book can be filled with the following values 0x4B and any higher value results into a duplicated entry of the mother. If the first entry is empty (0xFF) the game will crash. A trainer will get added again when you battle him after he was removed. Fill Phonebook with non-Trainer numbers only (Press L+R) 94000130 FCFF0000 62111880 00000000 B2111880 00000000 D5000000 00000000 2000C0FC 00000000 2000C0FD 00000001 2000C0FE 00000002 2000C0FF 00000005 2000C100 00000006 2000C101 00000007 2000C102 00000009 2000C103 0000000F 2000C104 00000018 D5000000 000000FF C0000000 00000041 D8000000 0000C105 D2000000 00000000 Edit: if any important person is missing or if any person that isn't useful gets added with my code, let me know and I will fix it!

Maybe I should have searched before, haha, @suloku did great research on Ranch save files! Nothing about the event trades but still interesting.

The most interesting file is probably mii.arc.ash, that's where I think all the NPC data (Miis) is stored. So if the trades are really inside the game, there should be evidence in this file. It is actually bigger in the Japanese version than in the European version. Though this could be just because the Platinum update added 3 additional Miis to the game. Another interesting file is rodata.arc.ash, which is only in the Japanese version. But just like the other file this one could just be part of the Platinum update. Those ash files are compressed and should be extractable with ASH Extractor (which seems to be the only tool available to handle ash files), but while it works well for some ash files it fails to decompress these two files. So the content remains a mystery.

This wondercard doesn't differ between PAL and NA, so yes the order of the moveset is the same.

Did you open your save file first? If not PKHeX always defaults to NA region. You can just change the region, the PAL and NA Poipole are identical.

The ads here were not annoying or distracting in any way, you could easily ignore them, but I don't miss them though. Thanks to all the Patrons for making this possible! Also thanks to the team of course and anyone else who contributes to make this site better!
