Hi all, new member here. Hopefully I will pose some question that have simple answers.
This might sound corny but I have recently got back into Pokemon after watching some of the orignal and new Sun & Moon tv series with my eldest son. It really started the fire again. Now I have Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun on a 3DS (with access to CFW, Checkpoint). I would love to add more Pokemon for him to play around with.
(For example, he's completely taken with that Dusk Lycanroc Ash has, but with his young age and my limited amount of free time, I'd rather spend that time playing with the Pokemon rather than taking the specific steps to start that evolution.)
I found a very interesting save file with all Pokemon. Out of precaution I downloaded the latest version (I believe including Pokemon added for Sword and Shield) and the latest version of the save file that was released before Sword and Shield (from March 31, 2019). No idea if that matters for PKHex and adding Pokemon to a 3DS save file, but it seemed smart to have a file without Pokemon that were added for later Generations of the game series.
So far, I have read through some PKHex tutorials, especially the one for the Batch Editor. Still I am pondering some things before I dare to edit the save file and try and write it to the 3DS SD card.
While I have read the tutorials to try and learn how to edit certain things, I still do not fully understand why I should change somethings. For example, should I change SID, TID, OT Trainer information and/or Latest (not OT) handler information under the OT tab for the save file to work on our 3DS? Basically what I would like to know are these two things:
1) Given that he and I will only play the single-player aspect of the Ultra Moon and Ultra Sun games (but our 3DS will connect to wireless internet), what aspects of the save file must I edit in order for the save file to properly work with our account info on the 3DS and/or character data in the games?
2) Additionally, to edit the essentials that I asked about in question 1 for all Pokemon in the single save file, do I need to use the Batch Editor? (In other words, does the Batch Editor alter data for a batch of Pokemon in a singular save file, or does the Batch Editor alter data for a big batch of save files?)
Apologies for the long-winded post. I feel like I am asking questions that really hammer home the point I am very much a beginner. Still, any help will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.
