Remember what I said about distribution romhacks' potential of opening Pandora's box. Of course people with access to these roms can do whatever the hell they want, but if we're giving to much public hacking information on these, some could make roms that appear to be legitimate roms we don't yet have, sell it to us, and it possibly being unable for us to differentiate from the real thing.

I provided the other languages' 10th Anniversary .pk3s to help deter the need to do this. I still can't guarantee when or if I can get the actual roms.

Even in good intentions, some things can backfire, but can be better prevented if such things are kept discussed in private. Of course, I'd feel responsible for making the roms public in the first place, but the good outweighed the bad with that decision . So all I can do at this point is warn about how much distro hacking information is said in public.

In this case, if all you're doing is removing the language lock, I guess that's fine, since the pokemon's OT will still be "10ANNIV". But the French 10th Anniversary pokemon also have the OT "10ANNIV", so idk. And cracking this just makes it one step easier for scammers.

Again, I did provide the other language .pk3s so we wouldn't really need to do this. Just another warning though, I have no real right to tell people not to do something.

If its possible could someone post some pictures of the distribution cart? Just curious.

It's one of the really early Gen 3 distributions, that's why it's using a large older type of GBA dev/proto cart and GBA, versus the smaller dev/proto carts and an SP that we normally associate with GBA distro carts.

I did half wonder about that as it talks about the GC to GBA cable. It looks like the only thing it's doing special is sending the same multiboot out, however to 3x GBA's at a time.

Still it's nice its been preserved, which for something rare and obscure it always a bonus in my book

The GCN-to-GBA cable, as well as mentioning to "check the TV screen". I figured it was pretty much unmodified from the GameCube disc, other than what's neccessary for making it work on a GBA cartridge.

Anyway, I prefer this distribution on cartridge over a disc, since it's much simpler to use a GBA rom compared to GCN iso.

Regardless, it's another piece of rare pokemon data historically preserved and available for anyone's use.

How come there's not a genesect cart? Or is there one?

It was a Wi-Fi distribution only for the US and Europe, idk about Japan.

From the most reality based perspective, no one has a legitimate complete collection, it's likely no one will ever have one. You'd have to get all those still not possessed by people outside Nintendo, and those from all regions(Japan has a ton, and those never even leak).

But yeah, I totally agree, by no means should we ignore those that are ultra rare, and as I said that it depends on the perspective you're looking at. If someone has every NES game besides the two NWC and Stadium events, I'd consider it complete because it's as complete as most people will ever be able to get. Same case here in my opinion. I guess consider it a bonus. Like when you beat DK64 with 101%.

I think there's a line between how you could call "complete" distribution collections, but I guess that depends on a person's definition. We know of more carts existing than those that have actually leaked into collector hands, as well as some carts that only a few of have leaked. It's almost hoping for a miracle when you expect to obtain a cart that hasn't yet leaked from Nintendo, or of those only a few people actually possess.

When you look at NDS carts that have actually leaked, I think YoshiMoshi now has all that are currently obtainable that anyone could eventually obtain if they wanted to collect distribution carts(besides EUR Arceus). The other stuff would be extremely difficult to obtain, so I'd say his collection is complete, from a certain perspective.

As for other carts existing that are "obtainable", there's the GBA carts like the 5 languages of the European 10th Anniversary, the 5 languages of Aura Mew, UK Shiny Zigzagoon/Berry Glitch Fix, and US and UK Aurora Ticket. A few other GBA carts are out there, but their identities have been kept secret(mostly).

I heard a few Gen I Mew cartridges(Blue full of Mews to trade, like the Mystery Mew) exist in collector hands as well, though I don't think there are many.

Huge thanks!
According to the files the Trash Bytes stay the same, no matter which language.
So it's just as I believed it would be... however considering that the source is a secret...
There is always a chance that something could be hacked so it should be taken with a grain of salt.
So if anyone has more files from other sources they would be highly appreciate.

Interesting that there are still so many Event Pokemon hiding in private collections... 
I hope we will see a few more suprises over the time.  

I have photo proof the source supplied to prove the legitimacy to me, they just don't want me sharing the photos. HaxAras knows them too, so take his word as well in the post above me.

This attached zip contains 100% legitimate pk3s from all the 5 languages of the European 10th Anniversary carts and Aura Mew carts. No, I can't reveal how I got them. The English 10ANNIVs and Italian 10ANNIs in the zip are the same ones I uploaded previously, so they're nothing new. I just wanted a compilation zip. Note that the Aura Mews don't have unique OTs, just the origin language data differentiates them.

I may not be able to get the other language roms, at least not right now, but it's a possibility I can obtain some actual pokemon if you need to examine their trash bytes. No guarantees, but I can try.

I managed to obtain a set of the Italian/10ANNI pokemon. For research purposes, this should hopefully be good enough. For collecting purposes, I don't think I'll be able to get a set of the other languages any time soon, but I can't say for certain yet.

The 10Anniversary ROM was dissassembled by @Bond697. 
So we already know everything about the UK Event.

If I understand you correctly, you would like to get the other European 10th Anniversary Pokemon as well, right?
And for this I would need some examples of the other Distributions to confirm if the Trash Bytes are the same.
I don't have any of those received yet. So I'm unfortunately unable to confirm it...

I also must say that I haven't even seen any of those in Trading forums still in Gen 3, so chances that I get one of those aren't good...
We can only hope that someone pops up and will contribute to the research.

One of my favorite things to say. Good enough is good enough. I lost my Yellow save (and a lot more, burn in hell pkhex) and I'm a long way away from getting RBY in every language so every addition helps. Thanks! 

I can actually get you some pk7s still with the nicknames, but I'll transfer them tomorrow. I'll send you a PM when I do.

I'm trying to get untouched, lowest legal levels of every in game trade Pokemon in every language and every gen. So any additions are welcome. 

Probably not at the lowest levels, but they are untouched other than the pk7's nicknames.

Anybody happen to have these? As files in gen 1 or 7? I collect in-game trade Pokemon. 

I've got the original unedited .pk1s for the in-game traded Farfetch'd, Jynx, and Mr. Mime. Didn't bother with Lickitung since I had caught one in Yellow. Also the pk7s of those three that I transferred after removing the nicknames.

That made me curious about Mr. Mime, even though it can't be obtained legally in Gen I outside of the in-game trade. If you remove the nickname, it will still pass through PokeTransporter(same with Jynx), however it doesn't convert the name properly either, named "MR-MIME".

I've sold tons of these over the years and I've noted that many European cartridges did not have stickers. This is probably because many events were not store exclusive such as Shelmet/Karrablast and Michina Arceus. 

Note, my Shaymin EUR cartridge has no sticker and I "leaked" it out the store I used to work in.

European and US carts are a bit different in a few ways. The carts in the US have the reverse stickers, and YoshiMoshi only currently has a collection of US carts.

Like you said, the sticker is probably because of the store-exclusivity thing. European carts went all over European countries at different events and locations, and US carts were specifically in either GameStop or Toys R Us.

There are variations of the backside label, so it doesn't matter if it says something other than "Not For Resale"

Like I told you before, don't buy them if they don't have the back label. If they don't have it, they may still be real, but there's a much higher chance it's fake.

If they have the backside label, there's a good chance it's real.

The quality of the stickers may vary, but if it's really badly washed out than it's probably a repro label at the least. PCB color differences may be a bad sign, but I'm not positive if there are any variations. I'll have to check all my DS carts later and get back to you.

I can't really say for certain if any of those are fakes, but the Meloetta is a bit suspicious. It may be perfectly fine, but I can't really tell unless you'd pry open the cart.

Did you try this?

121A12D0 0000E005

(open bag and close to return to normal)
(can recapture unlimited times doing this method)

If it doesn't work try the same method I used for Ghost Marowak and share us the file. I can help you if you send me a sav of BW2 just in front of the Kyurem.

Lol, I tried this like 3 years ago. I used a code to reset the Kyurem/Ghetsis battle in the Giant Chasm from a BW2 code thread somewhere on the forum. You can take any completed BW2 savefile and try it. I don't really have much interest in it now, but I guess I can try your code later on when I have more time to waste.

Edit: The rebattle code should be somewhere in this thread. I looked a bit, but you'll probably have to scan the entire thread to find it.

Does anybody here actually have the ability to pull this glitch off? It would be amazing to have a Mew, birds and Mewtwo modified with this glitch and shared. 

I saw this in my subscriptions feed yesterday. I haven't watched it yet, but it should provide the knowledge needed to alter them via 8F exploitation.

To be honest though, since we're using an exploit that to give us an otherwise unobtainable and illegal result, I don't see the point in the extra effort of preforming exploits over just changing the DVs to 10/10/10/10 with a save editor. It doesn't make it anymore legit, it's still an exploit to obtain something illegitimately. That's just me though. Props to those who want to do it this way.

I have a new challenge for you in order to celebrate PokeTransporter update: catch the Marowak ghost and export it as a .pk1

Is it possible? Yes apparently

Source: Youtube

I'm pretty sure people will love it ^^

That reminds me of the time several years back when I was trying to figure out how to catch the uncatchable Kyurem Fusion in BW2 during the final Ghetsis battle. I couldn't do it, but it may(?) be something you'd like since you seem to be really interested in anything otherwise unobtainable, not just protomons. For starters, AR codes to catch a trainer's pokemon won't work on the Kyurem Fusion. Probably because it's technically separate from Ghetsis's party.

The theory I agree with is that it will be this year's ""mythical""/eventmon that corresponds with this year's pokemon movie, since this movie's theme fits well with this Pikachu. If that's the case, then we won't have to wait that much longer to legally obtain them, at least the one from Japan come July. Marshadow being the only other mythical remaining this generation also supports that theory. I'm just curious how they'll go about distributing it since it has six different hat forms. Maybe like they did that Japanese Arceus distribution back in 2015. The wondercard will likely also come with PikASHunium Z, in the same way Snorlium Z did.

I'd also compare it to Eternal/AZ's Floette, but that's probably a bad example since we don't know what the hell happened with that distibution.

So I think it's safe to assume that adding perfect IVs and EVs to legit Pokemon are not allowed?

I don't see how that could possibly be detected. They must have had something else trigger the ban.

Not sure.
Given how prerelease Sun Moon players are still banned, I'll say highly likely.

Granted, the severity isn't comparable, but if they dislikey, they ban-nie.
However, it seems like something easy to bypass.
(recreate save, get new sync ID, transfer sync ID, or something. its on gbatemp: http://gbatemp.net/threads/pokémon-global-link-note-says-almost-6-000-people-have-been-banned-online-for-having-altered-save-da.458837/page-11#post-7046850)

Yeah, it should be easy to bypass. It may be different this time if it's just Game Sync ID, but with bypassing the ban from the pre-release SM, you basically took someone else's NID and they get yours, thus getting someone banned who's likely innocent. In that case you'll have to not care about being a dick, but hopefully it's different this time.

Though, anyone with who didn't think for a second that maybe going online before the game was officially released is kinda asking for it. Not surprised permabans were given for being caught for something like that that's literally illegal. Just not going online until release and they never would have been caught. I don't see how the reason with this ban is nearly as major, but maybe through Nintendo's view it's all the same

Well the innocents I'm referring to people can easily be those who received an illegal Pokemon during local trading with their friends or something.
(and didn't know)
Given how their [GF] hack checking can sometimes screw up,
whose to say they there's a possible condition they thought was impossible, and hit legit players?

That's why we thought bans like this would never happen based on having illegal pokemon, but it looks like they may have started doing it anyway.

By the way, do we know if these are these "permanent" bans?

Luckily I never use Game Sync functions, so if it doesn't affect normal online, I don't really care if I personally get banned. I only do a bit of direct trading and occasional wondertrade.

I was banned too. I have never used the QR island. I think the problem was the pokédex. I used pkhex and clicked on complete dex. That must have been it. You cannot get a marshadow legally or a shiny ultrabeast registered in your dex. I also clicked on give all fashion items but you can buy that and the game will detect it as bought after all...

Have you used the updated PokeBank? Game Sync within the last week? Going online for GTS/etc within the last week? That may be able to help more exactly pinpoint what's causing the bans.

By the way, I have 2 years worth of BP in the bank, does the update preserve them or I've just lost all those points? (I can't access my 3ds until sunday).

Yeah, it preserves your BP/Miles. I have about 2 years worth as well.

Odd timing that this happens right after the Bank update. Illegal monsters in Bank never mattered before, but perhaps the update sends flags to their server if an illegal pokemon exists in Bank of a corresponding NID. Maybe it's even the Bank's NatDex that has anything illegal registered. With that many bans being issued, this seems to be a pretty plausible cause. Idk how else they'd issue 6000+ bans for hacking.

If either are the case, I'll probably get a ban
