    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".

    That could be because there is no space in Gen 1 in Mr. Mime (Mr.Mime).

    [GEN III] Mystery Gift Tool - Nintendo Events, Wondercards, e-Trainer cards and e-Berry editor (and more!)

    in Saves - Tools

    Posted

    The tool can't detect that my European English Pokémon Emerald save is English, I know for sure it's legit as it's from a cartridge I dumped and checked the MD5 with the no intro database. It is not really a big problem of course but I thought I would report it.

    A bigger problem is that my European English Pokémon Ruby R2 save (also from my own cartridge and checked with the no intro database) is detected as a Emerald save.

    The same problem occurs with my US English Pokémon Sapphire R2 save (also from my own cartridge and checked with the no intro database).

    [GEN 3] Mystery Event/Gift Research

    in Saves - Research

    Posted

    Hello everyone!

    I know I will probably be a nuisance as I don’t know a huge ton about this, I even had to search up AR to find out what it was!

    Alright, so I have an emerald game that I have owned for years and years and when I got it I remember the save a bit, but I reset it quick so I didn't get attached to it (it was completed). It didn't have any mystery gift pokemon or items I don’t think, but it has been a long time.

    Anyway, my current save is still the one I started all that time ago, and I have every legendary possible without any mystery gift and it saddened me that I couldn't get the rest that were possible. Because I have recently picked it up again due to the hype with pokemon go (I don’t have it, so dw), I have decided to look around at the possibilities, and I am so suprised and thankful that there is a thread like this, and it is active with a lot of reliable information (even if none of it makes sense to me). So i’ve decided to create an account to help out where I can, and see if I can have any assistance in getting those beloved pokemon from those ol' mystery gifts. (I am quite attached to my save... so I am kind of cautious when it comes to any external gadgets)

    Thanks, this is all so great :)

    PS: sorry for going on a bit and going off topic.

    At this moment you will have to wait for the tool to be released.

    Are Pokemons unique?

    This may be a stupid question, but are Pokemons unique? Are they randomly assigned some sort of code? Except for the trainer ID. In a sense that if I for example catch a Mewtwo in FireRed in the cave, does no other Mewtwo that is exactly the same exist?

    Archived Sticky: Gen IV Event Collection and Contribution Thread

    Nintendo DS isn't region locked.

    To further elaborate this, Gen IV and Gen V region locking of wondercards is different from Gen VI.

    It's not truly based off region; it's based off language.

    That's right, as long as it's an English wondercard, an English cart can receive it (provided it's in the list of games that can receive it)

    The language-lockout applies to local and wifi events, and serial code events in Gen V (serial code didn't exist in Gen IV)

    Thanks again for your explanation!

    There are 3 Shiny Mewtwo events collected, and one upcoming.

    1. Shiny Mewtwo from Japan's Pokescrap event, only for JP units:

    2. Shiny Mewtwo from Korea, distributed locally via infrared, there can be acquired by any region 3DS

    3. Shiny Mewtwo for HK and TW, distributed via serial code. Most of TW's serial code can be collected via JP and EU units, and their servers confirm this.

    http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Taiwanese_region_serial_code_event_Pok%C3%A9mon_distributions_in_Generation_VI#Nintendo_Hong_Kong_Mewtwo

    Btw, Bulbapedia has two instances where above indicates that no.2 and no.3 can be collected on PAL.

    But yeah, Ninty's servers (private method, don't ask) has two entries, one VGC Mewtwo for JP, and one VGC Mewtwo for EU (both are the same wondercard),

    edit: this is what it looks like on the file list, and look at Goukazaru (TW release of Infernape) if you're unconvinced:

    Also, an upcoming shiny unnerve Mewtwo:

    4. Shiny Mewtwo for Play! Pokemon VGC event. (EU and US?)

    source: http://www.serebii.net/news/2016/10-June-2016.shtml

    EDIT

    The reason behind this oddity, it seems that TW console units are actually just imports of JP or EU consoles.

    Just like how Australia region 3DS loads EU games (because it's simply EU import)

    Or how my present residence Singapore imports US or JP 3DS,

    therefore our serial codes may work for US or JP consoles.

    (I'm very clear that our consoles don't run dual region games, but rather we have imports of either US or JP consoles)

    [edit: I didn't realize this at the time of posting, but Singapore PCafe Pikachu happens to be in the screenshot above, further elaborating my point]

    So far, dual region serial codes only happened for Singapore and Taiwan,

    and most serial codes (ignoring PGL type situations) are locked to one region.

    Hence, why it is reflected on servers as EU and JP, rather than EU and JP and TW.

    (which strongly implies that "TW" region for Pokemon doesn't even exist for this generation, and the game simply loads as EU or JP)

    Thanks for all your information! Intresting stuff.
