Yeah but legitimately you won’t be able to download the incorrect demo, nor change the device’s region. also the Vivillon test it’s inaccurate; it’s related to the geographical data saved in the user data of the device, for selected country. hence why spoofing region + country and starting a new game didn’t change the Vivillon form. A separate set of data is stored in the 3DS itself and that wasn’t changed.

I believe it depends on the 3DS region, not the demo installed on the 3DS, becaure there is only one version of the Demo. So, to recieve this Steelix it will be neccesary to change the 3DS region to Japan and play the demo and the full game on that 3DS until receiving Steelix (or using a japanese 3DS). In one of my 3DSs with the Demo already installed I created an Emunand and change the region to Japan and now the Demo in that Emunand it is the japanese version of the demo without language selector. I have not tested because I did this to obtain japanese exclusive Vivillon (I created a Japanese region emunand in one 3DS and american region in another to be obtain all Vivillon forms)

If I have my European/Spanish game and I inject the event within the distribution date or during the date that the card says 2013 - 7 - 13, does the name become the default name of my European/Spanish game? Or does it have to have the name in Japanese? I know that being a special pokemon does not allow you to put a nickname

Previously I wrote a comment, I perhaps should've waited a bit and played more first. I started with the Colosseum version, as I know Colosseum a bit better than XD. I was gonna play the XD one after beating Colosseum. But that probably won't happen because I don't like the way this hack was approached. What I like are the changes to Smeargle's base stats (because battles are quite slow in the GC games so grinding is kinda painful, which you will need to do a lot of lategame with Smeargle's usual stats) but even more so, the fact that they start with 4 Sketches, and their new ability, Trace. Trace shenanigans are fun and I'm surprised Smeargle can't actually have trace in canon Pokemon games. What I don't like is pretty much everything else. You start, of course, with two Smeargles in place of Umbreon and Espeon. My first problem is that like the Umbreon and Espeon, they're not at the same level. 26 and 25 respectively. An important thing to do in a Smeargle run is to decide what kind of builds you want to give each Smeargle based on their stats. But you can't easily compare the stats of the Smeargles if they're not the same level. Because of this, I think it would be better for them to both be at level 25 when you start. Which brings me to... the way you get the other Smeargles. The way you get the other Smeargles is they are Shadow Pokemon, you snag them. As of the Pyrite Building, which is what I got up to before writing this review and may be quitting, I snagged 3 Smeargles; my party consists of 5 Smeargles. The Shadow Smeargles all appear to have the same (perfect?) IVs, and a neutral nature. This bothers me for two different reasons. One, giving them all fixed perfect IVs and a neutral nature ruins the fun of deciding which Smeargle should be the special attacker, which Smeargle should be the physical attacker, the support, etc. Two, more importantly, the starter Smeargles did not get this treatment. The starter Smeargles have a random nature and random IVs. Chances are, your starters are significantly worse than the Shadow Smeargles even if you reset for good ones (which would be a pain to do because you have to soft reset for two Pokemon rather than one). It makes me hope that later on there will be two more Shadow Smeargles to replace my starters with that will have perfect stats. I think if you'eegna make the Shadow Smeargles perfect you may as well make the starters perfect too. In XD this wouldn't be so bad since you only have one starter, but after many resets for good IVs you're still goimg to have a Smeargle that's inferior to the ones you snag. And of course there's the issue I discussed earlier. Even if they were given random IVs and natures like the starter Smeargles, they're not the same level so you cannot compare their stats to assign them their roles. And you don't get them all at the same time, so they won't have any EVs but your starter Smeargles would. Another annoyance is because the Smeargles are shadow, they have one of their precious move slots taken up by Shadow Rush, which is annoying in Colosseum because it takes so long to actually be able to purify the Smeargles. I am sure this is also not as annoying in XD, possibly not annoying at all because in XD you have access to purification pretty much right away. I understand that you probably got the idea to have Smeargles gradually added to the game (via needing to snag them as shadow mon) because starting with 6 would make it too easy at the start especially with their stat buff, but to compensate you could make them all a bit lower leveled than 25 maybe. For me, with all that I would much rather play vanilla Colosseum with my party hacked to have 6 Smeargles from the start, like what Pikasprey did. (Not that I can do that since I don't know how to hack. So, yeah this was pretty disappointing to me. 3 stars because it's certainly playable, people might not find all those things I complained about annoying, but I found them annoying.)

damn it i really wanted that steelix a much cooler pokemon than Glalie

This steelix is only available on the Japanese (region) version of the Demo. Setting any other region’s language to Japanese (language) will not yield you a Steelix.

Can you set the language of the special demo to the japanese language to get the Steelix and transfer it to an american copy of alpha ruby or omega sapphire?

I started playing this hack a few days ago and now that I am finished and it has been a pleasant experience. - I know that in the original there werent that many shadow pokemon, but it may have been possible to add a few more. Its mostly the same Pokemon as in the original, except for a few like Salamance out of my head. and not only the shadow pkmn, most of the trainer have the exact same pkmn. I even remember getting Heracross here in the Pokemon Lab and in the original in Realgam Tower. It could have been a new pkmn instead of it switching with another one. It got a little stale for me. I find it good however, that most of the trainer pokemon are evolutions. Take for example the first trainer in the game. - The Master Ball Glitch still is in the game. It works by catching a shadow Pokemon with your first pokemon and than switching the master ball with another ball in your items. It could be prevented by simply turning it off. So you cant switch items while in battle. It isnt a big deal, you can just avoid to do it in the first place. Also a wider variety of balls to buy would be a good inclusion. And not beeing able to buy balls in other places and only in Outskirt Stand. Same goes for some other items. Also its nice that it seemed a little easier to catch pokemon. Was the catch rate for the 3 dogs higher? I did like that. - Trainers tend to be a little dumb. Sometimes they boost their stats even tho they only have 10% hp left. They sometimes attack the pokemon that is resisting their attack and not the one weak to it. The lvl Cap is fine however. You are never overleveled and thats a good thing. You also dont have to grind as much. Its a good pacing. - Items overall. I know its 3rd gen but if we take Pokemon xg for example, there was not only Choice band, but Choice specs and lifeorb included. Some others as well. Having more options when team building is always good. I did llike many quality of life changes tho. Including physical/special split was needed in these old games. Many pokemon were unusable because of that. Reusing TMs, beeing able to see your shadow pokemons nature before it is freed. That wasnt possible before. Having said all that, I dont know how hard it is to program new things into the game. Like more shadow pokemon or new items. I still think it was fun overall, but it could defintly improve a little

Have popped this in known issues thank you! It uses the special attacking stat rather than the physical attack stat, currently unsure as to why hahah

I wanted to edit my first message but I figured I'd wait. i found out that if you go talk to the teacher in phenac city she'll manually update the info in the PDA, which is neat. about trainers docs - I beat miror b yesterday and all the trainers up to that point (miror b included) have their accurate pokemon data in the trainers' mons folder. so, at least up until miror b, all the info are there and seem correct, you just have to search for the right files. it's kinda tedious but it works. the most bugging thing is that, in the cave for example, since you don't know what exact order the .txt files follow, when you can take different paths you can't be sure if you're gonna fight trainer 1 or trainer 2. i mean, this documentation is barely of any use for people who just wanna play this game in the standard way, im only bringing this up because im doing a nuzlocke. so, about nuzlocking... up until where i am now, it seems definitely possible, but preparing for each battle is mandatory. I still don't quite understand how the AI works, sometimes it seems they just go for random moves, it's weird. I can't really find a pattern. sometimes they fake out my misdreavous, or yesterday even miror b tried to leach seed my sunflora at least 3 times. last thing I wanted to bring up is the miror b battle. note that im playing with no items in battle but also without level caps for now as up until miror b you can only overlevel your 2 starters, all the shadow mons you get access to are slightly underleveled and can't level up. im pretty sure the miror b fight would be near impossible with umbreon and espeon at 35, it would massively rely on good rng and AI messing up multiple times. for the record, i had a lv38 espeon and lv39 umbreon. looking at miror b's team the fight looked impossible, but the AI helped me out immensely. they kept water pulsing my sunflora instead of ice beaming it and ice beaming my umbreon instead of doing focus blast. ive no idea why that happened, i'd like to understand the AI better. a tiny suggestion i wanted to share is, for nuzlocking purposes, since miror b has 4 ludicolo, all with different natures and movesets, you should make them discernable from each other. except the one at level 35, the remaining 3 are all lv34 and female. i'd change the gender to one of them or make one lv33 just so you can tell them apart. i feel like it's important also because their movesets are pretty different from each other: one is physical, one is special, one is mixed, one takes more of a utility role with fake out and rain dance. again, these are all tiny suggestions specifically for people who want to nuzlocke this, but the few tweaks i mentioned wouldn't hurt anyone. im having a ton of fun nuzlocking this, it's super challenging but super rewarding. i'll keep sharing more insight
