    There's no Japanese Aura Mew, but I'm sure you just mistyped that. They probably got leaked through Nintendo employees. The distribution devices were likely pretty much always in possession of the event team handling the distributions. I don't think theft from the distribution locations was a possibility until the mass produced carts appeared during Gen IV and V. Because by then any random GameStop, etc employee could take it when the event was over.

    It wasn't mail-in in 2005 during the original events. It's just that Nintendo of Italy continued to provide a service on their website up until a few years ago (or still?) for players to mail them their carts. That's how we had all the wondercards dumped a few years ago. But regardless the cart/rom could have leaked just like any other cart, originating through employees themselves.

    It works with all the European languages, so it has all the respective wondercards. That being English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Think about Aura Mew for example, it's the same case just without wondercards. That's what makes this superior to our American Aurora Ticket rom, along with having Emerald support.

    I figured I should give quick update on this to close the loose ends. Updates from Jenn were slow paced due to real life and such, but our talks have come to a close. Turns out her friend's cart was actually a Red as well, and it being a Blue must've been a false memory. The savefile was indeed erased though as I had predicted. Unfortunately, this cart has also since then been removed from the system it was sealed in, so we won't have any new pictures to archive as I was hoping for. That's about it. Now with all my questions answered, she shipped my dumper back to me a few days ago. So the savefile we obtained in January will indeed likely be the only one we will ever archive from this event, which we are extremely lucky to have in the first place. I guess now we can look forward to the preservation effort keeping up the momentum of the last year or so, hopefully bringing us more rare data to archive. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much is left sitting around with collectors.

    I don't mind paying the $5 a year, rather I'm thinking of longevity. I sometimes still complete/re-complete the NatDex when playing any of the older games. Come the day in 10 years or whenever and the 3DS/Switch PokeBank servers goes offline, we won't even have access anymore. I also don't like DLC for this reason, so when I buy a game I prefer it complete.

    National Dex. Collectors and completionists don't want to settle on it being PokeBank exclusive behind a paywall. Return to featuring more exploration options and less linearity. It makes it more fun and worth playing after you finish the main game. (eg. giving Ultra Space full potential) Less hand-holding. I'm tired of the slow and boring beginnings with forced Trainer School bullshit, etc. Stop hyping things just to end up with lost potential (eg. Ultra Megalopolis, Zygarde, etc.) Longer post-game stories. Rainbow Rocket was fun, but too short. Perhaps continue Rainbow Rocket (post-game or not), as Giovanni hinted this was only the beginning of his new scheme. Lessen the ongoing Kanto pandering, rather just have references to all regions. (Alolan forms of only Kantomon is one example of this problem) More in-game Mythicals like Deoxys and Celebi. No Kanto remakes until we at least have Gen IV and V If Kanto, make it a new story that takes place after GSC, or alternatively a prequel to GSC that allows travel to Johto.

    A couple months ago I had tried using @suloku's seeder with the Meteor rom, and it did not produce a shiny. Iirc, nature, etc was all identical to a Wishmkr using the same seed, just not shiny. But if a shiny Meteor is indeed possible, there must be something different with its multiboot that needs to be accounted for.

    So this Yellow was just someone's personal cart that had been traded a Mew, right? Because otherwise I didn't know of any Yellow carts being used for the actual distribution. But being held in December 1999 could technically make that a possibility I suppose. (You can respond in our email convo if you want, since I don't know how long you plan on visiting here again)
  9. Deoxyz
    There were no other multiboots besides the four we found. As for DS ROMs, we dug into these and found everything last January.

    To make sure I'm understanding this correctly, the question marks only appear if either injected into Gen II, or traded when the savefiles aren't on Virtual Console? Then it's not really as big of a problem as I thought as long as VC trading is correcting the terminator.
  11. Deoxyz
    That's an awful screw up. Though I'm sure the trashbytes could be corrected, and it probably isn't checked for transfer legality. Even if you don't care to transfer, those question marks would annoy me. Luckily I had already decided to use a fresh YOSHIRA in my Crystal playthrough.

    Actually, I JUST found a single Christmas Day PCNY Seviper buried among the Pokemon Box Promo PCNY Sevipers, while reorganizing Digiex's compilation save for InsaneNutter. So we can update the list, however more are always more than welcome. Anything PCNY is more than welcome, especially considering how Bulbapedia doesn't even have them all documented.

    The Research tab under Event Flags, where you can load your before(Old) and after(New) savefiles.
  14. Deoxyz
    Yes under the "Research" tab. That's what gets set after viewing the diplomas, so just reverse it on your main save.
  15. Deoxyz
    Flags Set: 0323,0324 Constant 75: 97->99
  16. Deoxyz
    You should compare with actual .sav/.dsv files, not save states.
  17. Deoxyz
    I'll attach my modified HG save. I'd do the flag tests myself, but I currently working on a couple other projects. -removed-
  18. Deoxyz
    If they're not .dsv or .sav format, try importing the save after the rom is loaded. Then save the game.
  19. Deoxyz
    What you can do is find a HeartGold savefile at someplace like GameFaqs, fill the pokedex with PKHeX, make a copy the edited savefile, receive the diploma with an emulator, then do a before/after comparison in PKHeX's "Event Flags" tab. It will pinpoint the flag that triggers it.

    I'm so glad it's confirmed they didn't bother to shiny-lock it. It makes Crystal well worth of a VC re-release, and not as much of a cash grab. I'm not too big on transferring, I prefer keeping pokemon in their origin generation. Though I'll definitely transfer a second shiny Celebi to my current-Gen shiny mythical/legend collection. I hope the other unobtainable shiny mythicals become available soon. At least we can expect the Alola legends won't be shiny-locked when we get them in Gen VIII.

    I don't really doubt Gold Ursaring's credibility either. Considering the Zubat is the only egg event that has an OT that differs from the savefile, it's a likely assumption that an undetected hack was traded to him at some point. Will be nice to confirm that though.

    I know this was mentioned four years ago by Metropolis, but it was never further addressed. Can we account for the one misspelling of a Typhlosion nicknamed "THYPLOSION" as being legitimate? As far as I can figure, it makes the legality questionable. Other Typhlosions from the PCNYb machine don't do this to the nickname string. Though I suppose the early TID(00031) may indicate a typo in the distribution rom that was soon fixed. But I'd figure the PCNYa/c/d machines would also have the bug early on since their roms are undoubtedly identical other than OT. I don't know. Just speculation, but I find it odd. I at least wanted to address it further. Then there's an odd case with the Flail Zubat. All other PCNY Egg events have a Met Location, at Level 1, and Time of Day. The Zubat has (None) for both, and met at Level 0. Since these were hatched, I can't blame it on the distribution machine. So this one is even more odd to me and more questionable.
  23. Deoxyz
    I don't know how obvious this was, but I just realized that there are differences between the Palkia/Dialga you receive in Sun/Moon and UltraSun/UltraMoon. Different levels and moveset. SM gets them at Lv60 and USUM gets them at Lv100(+Gold Bottle Cap).

    @Invader TAK I wouldn't expect modification to be plausible any time soon, if ever. Even swapping a MB from 10ANNIV into Aura will cause the error due to these checksums. As said before, only BGFZ is easily modified, but since nothing generates with the same algorithm(besides JP version), it's pointless for practical purposes. And now we even have the legitimate JP BGFZ multiboot.

    @HaxAras had attempted to buy the Red cart back in May, but to no success. That's actually how I found out about this, but didn't get around to help have it dumped until recently. When he told me about it in September, he had mentioned the Blue cart to me from their talks, and iirc, the savefile was erased. It won't hurt to confirm it though, so I'll ask.
