The OTs reference people who worked at the Daisuki Club during that time. The mail that was attached to them had special phrases (5 Pokemon names in each piece of mail) you could enter on the Daisuki Club website to enter a drawing for a special limited edition DS Lite, and all players who entered authentic and unique phrases received a special DS GTS strap. I can only assume they were distributed by an in-house cartridge, if there was a wondercard for it no one has been able to find it. Inherently they're nothing too special, they're just prizes for sets of giveaways the Daisuki Club did in 2009.

Saori Bidoof and Ari Bidoof are available in trade circulation, I think some of them might be posted somewhere on this site in gen 4 pkm format. They're fairly common, I have them but I'm more of a trader and researcher rather than posting things for free. During my research, I can tell you that most Norii Bidoof and Ori Bidoof you'll find are fake. The Norii Bidoof was lost in time to the gen 4 traders, I've been trying to contact them myself since some were friends I used to know, but I haven't gotten any response. Ori Bidoof, I know of only 1 person who has it but they don't trade their pkm files anymore.

Which ones are you looking for? Pretty sure the Magikarps are available for free somewhere on this site. A lot of the Ralts, Shinx, Bidoof are also available in trading circles, there are some OTs that are restricted and NFT. Don't spend any time looking for Psyduck or Heracross.

My own Shiny CHANNEL Jirachis are being marked as illegal now too. I used this guide in 2018: I redeemed 5 different Shiny Jirachi using this method in ENG, SPA, ITA, FRA and GER languages. I've traded a few over the years but I still have ENG, ITA and FRA and those 3 are being marked as illegal. Just checked a backup of my GER too and it's also marked as illegal. I took video proof of some of them during the redemption process. It's very possible that something that I did or something in this guide isn't valid anymore but it was marked as legal before a recent update.

Good and Suicune in the same sentence is inherently invalid because it's a roamer. Remember about the roaming IV glitch, the HP value can be anything from 0-31 but the Atk can only be between 0-7. The rest are forced to 0 IV because of the glitch. Because of that, you won't get a good roamer. If you want good IVs on Suicune, you will need to find one using Colosseum's PID method.

Did you catch this in-game or did you modify this? Dratini can only be caught between level 10 to 14 in Crystal, yours has a met level of 15. HGSS changed the spawn to have a met level of 15.

Hey nice! That was my local Toys R Us as well until I moved out of the area in March last year, I lived in Bergenfield. That's the one that used to be on Route 4, I've been there for a few Pokemon distributions myself in gen 4. Unfortunately I didn't play the gen 1 mainline games myself, I was a spinoff kid until gen 3. But this is still very cool! Are you able to back up the save files to at least preserve them before the battery dies? I'm not sure if you would need to upload them, but at least having them preserved for yourself before the battery dies is great. I don't have any gen 1 save file dumpers myself but if I still lived in Bergenfield I would have helped you get the hardware and dump the save files.

Are you using the latest version of PKHeX? Charcadet shows up as legal for me.

This is related to the second part of my post. Steelix can only legally be obtained on JP region 3DS, but also only with the OT オメガ. It was not released in the English OT or Korean OT because the Japanese demo doesn't allow you to select a language.

Look at your OT/Misc tab, make sure the region that you set on your 3DS is correct. Keep in mind countries don't exist in other continents, Albania is not a region of Japan for example. Also keep in mind there are some events that can only be redeemed on certain regions of 3DS systems.

Yep, the transfer pretty much recreates official hardware transfer. Since you can trade the Pokemon to any game and any language (minus Korean in gen 4), the language of the carts don't matter in gen 4 or 5. The 3DS region information is set by the region of the 3DS that transfers the Pokemon from gen 5 into Bank. The only minimal thing that PKHeX transfer misses is nickname trash bytes from gen 5, but since you're transferring a Japanese Pokemon from a Japanese game that's not needed anyway.

Use TWL Save Tool to back up your gen 4 and 5 game save files. As far as I know, Checkpoint only works with the 3DS games, but personally I don't even use Checkpoint. I still use JKSM from back in 2017, never upgraded since it still works for me lol.

There are no Hadou Regis in the save file provided. The Mew looks valid, since it's the more common Mew variant for Japanese gen 3 games most of them wouldn't really be hacked anyway. Looking through the rest of the save, other than the Eon Ticket there isn't really anything else special on it. Seems like someone's save file from when they were a kid and they don't want the game anymore.

There are only 9 possible PIDs for Shiny WISHMKR Jirachi, you can't gen a random PID unless it matches one of those 9. You might as well grab one from this file or RNG a valid frame from your game.
