Hello, I recently downloaded the Pokesav and the Pokegen. I spent a ton of time editing Pokemon for the Pokesav but once I exported the code, copy and pasted it into my Action Replay DSi, the code did not work. None of the codes worked. After multiple attempts, I tried doing a Pokegen code and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong? It's for Heart Gold/Soul Silver.

I've searched for this thread and couldn't find it so delete this if you must. Hi, I have never tried making event pokemon that didn't originate from Black 2 or White 2. I'm trying to make a basic Victini but fail at making them legit pokemon. I succeed at every other attempt, even at making legit traded pokemon, it's Pokemon that can't be bred and must have "Event" checked that I have problems with. The way I check for legitimacy is by talking to the random match up girl, who won't allow hacked pokemon. I use the PID setting to make them legit, btw. I put it on 10 or 11 for "Event pokemon", still doesn't work. I mean it works but it's not legit. My AR just shows these weird colors now, I think it's broken haha. edit: Pokegen is what I use

Hello guys, I just want to confirm something if that's okay. 'Faithful encounter' data of a gen4 event pokemon is lost thru poketransfer right? Like in the case of transferring a Summer 2010 Jirachi from Soul Silver to Black. While relocated pokemon (celebi & shiny legendary beast trio) retains theirs? Thanks for bearing with me:smile:

Every egg that I have received through the GTS from PokeGen hasn't been able to hatch. I would understand if these eggs were corrupt as a result of wrongly filled out information, but I'm nearly positive everything I've entered in the program for each egg should have worked. Each of the eggs have been set as an Egg on the Main tab and on the Met tab. The eggs are matched to my trainer information (which I know is right), are set to the correct location (Route 3 - Daycare location in Black), and were encountered as: Egg/Pal Park/etc. I also made sure to give the eggs only egg-level and breeding-passed move sets, and 0 EV's. After looking up other troubleshooting forums on making eggs in PokeGen, I also tried switching from no nickname to 'Egg' and various happiness levels to try and make them hatch ( I tried 0, 1, and the happiness level the Pokemon should have had for appropriate hatching steps). I really can't figure out what could possibly be wrong with my eggs when all my information seems to be in place. The only thing I can really think of is that the PID's being generated from my information aren't working, causing my eggs to never hatch. So if anyone else has had this problem, or knows what I'm doing wrong, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Please, I'm new to this, so please don't rage on me if this is a stupid question. I haven't seen this question yet... But every time I make an action replay code it doesn't work for black 2. How can I fix this? I select all my pokemon, hit generate in the code generator, use the code manager to put it in... and it STILL doesn't work! Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it. Update: It gives me the wrong game ID from the start, and generates non-working codes, Even though I set the codes for the English game. It gives me the ID as IREJ 5A023804 and I need the American one.

Do you guys know any ways to transfer pokemon to a cartridge with pokegen? (Other the action replay)

Hello, I am new to this forum, and new to the use of pokegen. I will happily take a redirect if my question is not in the appropriate forum. While I have used several tutorials, I have only generated a few pokemon. I have come across no issue in generating normal pokemon-- save for "legal" shinies, and "legal" shiny legendaries. I'm looking to generate a shiny celebi next (for collection not for trade or battle) and am wondering how to do so without error. I do not have an original ID to use, so I am borrowing those from other sources, or generating my own false ones. Because of this, Pokecheck often returns the message that the ID/SID is illegal. What does this illegality mean exactly? Does this affect Pokebank deposits, and how do I avoid it?

Hi, don't know whether this is the right place to ask this. I have Pokegenned a few Pokemon to Pokemon Black and then transferred them to X but my Skarmory will not go through whatever I do to it. These were my latest inputs into Pokegen: PID: blank Species: Skarmory Nickname: Oskar (ticked) Experience: 1250000 L: 100 Nature: Bold Happiness: 255 Ability: Sturdy Country: US/UK/AU Origin: Platinum Game: Black (2)/White (2) Location: Sinnoh Ball: Poke Ball Level: 53 Date: 28/02/2014 Encounter: Tall Grass/Drakrai Stats were all legal Stealth Rock/Defog/Whirlwind/Roost Then I put the OT as the OT from my Platinum file. I tried having OT and location as Unova but I realised it would have to have originated in Gen 4 to get Defog. Need this for a tournament tomorrow with friends. Thanks!

Ive searched youtube, forums, pokecheck, all types of sites to try and get it right but everytime i try to make a pokemon with pokegen for pokemon pearl something always comes out wrong to make my pokemon ineligible. I would very much appreciate if someone could make a personal video of the pokemon im trying to make. It might be a bit much to ask for just myself, but i would very much appreciate it. Anyone looking to help i can send the details of the pokemon, stats, trainer id etc etc...

I basically want to do something that is like when latias and latios are roaming around in ruby and sapphire. But i want to be able to do this with custom pokemon that i make with pokegen... I'm not sure how to do this so... plz help when you can. Sincerely, popcornrulez

Hello, I am new to Pokegen. I have used it on my old Pearl for like a month and it has been working perfectly on that game. Now I decided to try it out in Black. Pokegen updated to 3.1.3. Now when I go to the "met" tab in Pokegen the game section there is only "Black (2)/White(2)" there. The intended game is Black and White. IDK if that was there before b/c this is my first time using Pokegen on Black. But, does this matter when I try to use it on my 3DS or Black? I am doing everything just like before: I change my DNS settings and got to my game to the GTS trade, but nothing happens. The only thing that happens is that it a lil bit longer to the check GTS status. I am wondering if uninstalling it and just redownloading the older version of Pokegen will fix this? -if I do that can someone give me a link to the older version? Or, is there a way to uninstall the updates? If someone can help it would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi everyone, thanks for viewing! This theread is open for general discussion about the error showen above however it is no longer a problem If the error happens again, look here for info about it! The thread is being left open for future discussions or questions about other errors that may occur. -Boogiepop

Look i've been trying to get this jirachi with HP fire (70), psychic, grass knot and clam mind but everytime i do the legality checker says "Hacked or unknown pokemon" and then when i'm trying to download it there are like 5 "?" signs and SMR2010 in the nickname :mad: i don't know what's going on with the ID it's supposed to be 06260 but it always changes into 6260 =S guys any help?

For the past month or two, I've not been able to use PokeGen properly because where it had the portal to take it to the GTS on Pokémon Black, It told me I had to email them (Which I did twice) and right now there is a charity thing on, And I really don't know how to do this, Since I'm new to PokéGen..

How do I change the language? cause it won't let me change it. The other languages are unclickable

Hi all, my name is Zappo23! This is my very first tutorial, a complete guide to PokeGen for beginners. I tried to answer as many questions as possible with this tutorial, explaining every part with painstaking detail. This is the first tutorial that I'm posting. The reason I chose to make a PokeGen tutorial is that information about how to use it seemed too scattered. So, I decided to make a full-fledged tutorial. In Word, it's 24 pages long :biggrin:. But luckily for you, I have it here in PDF format hosted by Scribd. Complete with pictures and examples, this tutorial is sure to answer any questions you might have about a particular aspect of PokeGen. Also, if you read my tutorial and see that something is missing, or that any information is incorrect, please do not hesitate to tell me because I will fix it and update it as soon as possible after such occurrence. This link will redirect you to Scribd.com, which is a safe and secure, FREE document hosting site. Also, the conversion was kinda bad so the hyperlinks to downloads are THERE, it's just...their lines are ABOVE them instead of beneath them. Basically, every time you see a blue line, click underneath it:biggrin: . My next tutorial is going to be ShinyGTS. I also noticed about ShinyGTS that solutions to several different types of problems are also scattered around the web, so I am going to make it my personal mission to compile all the information I have learned into one comprehensive tutorial and troubleshooting guide. I hope you guys enjoy my tutorial!

I have been trying for a while now to make these pokemon legal for pokemon white nintendo wi-fi connection. However, every time I send them to my ds and attempt to use them in random matchup, they do not pass the hack test and i get the "There was a problem with your pokemon, and they could not participate" message. I followed every guide I could find and made sure they followed the guidelines. The problem probably has something to do with the info in the "Met" tab of pokegen. That or the fact that a few of them have dream world abilities. **Note maybe the custom moveset smeargle I made can just never be legit... None of them have any wierd glitches that wouldn't be legit (like the Zigzagoon one), although the Reuniclus is shiny. I know it is probably something really simple, but it has reached a point where I could never figure it out myself... The files are under attachments, and thanks in advance!

Ok, first post here. When I save a .pkm file with pokegen v3.0.4, I receive it in-game and the stats are set to zero in my party, and set to what they should be in the pc boxes. And when I open the .pkm file in pokegen, the stats are set back to normal again... any way to fix this?

Hey guys, I have a Pokemon Team here and I cannot get it to work at all. One of them (Or all of them) won't work via WIFI. I am just wondering what is the problem with them. I CANNOT make any LEGIT Pokemon at all, there has to be something I'm doing, I'm using PokeGen BTW. Also I took Thundurus out of the Party and it still won't work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks guys! :biggrin::biggrin: P.S: My Blaziken won't upload. SORRY! Lemme know if these seem Legit and if so, I'll upload Blaziken!

Hi so I just made some pokemon and I used the DNS from this website right here: http://www.pokegts.us/upload_file.php# I went did everything including entering DNS server thing and moving the 1st pokemon on the 1 box away and checked it million times it is right and when I went into the GTS my character clicked on the computer an nothing happens.Just the regular screen.No pokeballs coming out of the sky nothing just regular old GTS.What am I doing wrong?Is there sometthing I could do?Thanks :3

PokeGen is now maintained by Mat. Current version: 3.1.13 <-- THIS IS A LINK, SINCE PEOPLE DON'T GET IT Be sure to always keep backups of your save files prior to editing. I'm not perfect, mistakes can exist in the program still. This program can be used for Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 for the following tasks: Generating Action Replay codes to create Pokemon, modify the Pokedex, and add Mystery Gift data, including exporting to an XML file that can be dragged to the Action Replay code manager Loading and saving of save files. Pokemon data and Pokedex data can be fully modified. Loading and saving of party and PC .pkm files (136, 220, and 236 byte, encrypted and unencrypted) Adding Wonder Cards to save files Conversion of Action Replay codes into Pokemon information (This is limited.) Finding a PID to match IVs, nature, gender, ability, shininess, and hidden power type/power - with variable IVs Recalculating save file checksums Editing items Editing C-Gear background images Most of what you need to know to use the program is self-explanatory. However, there are now tooltips explaining just about everything in it. There are some things that aren't quite covered though: Windows XP or newer is required. (However, it does run without issues on "emulated" Windows programs for Mac OS and Linux.) (This is only applicable to generation 4 games, and maybe not even HG/SS.) Using codes for party Pokemon can sometimes cause bad eggs upon activating the code. You can just activate it again and it should fix the problem. (You can check the summary after activating each time to see if it's fixed, or just close the party display and re-open it.) I don't think there's any way around this. As far as I know, this has no negative effect on the game when you save, as long as you don't save it with a bad egg. (I'm not even sure if saving with a bad egg would be harmful, but there's no reason to do so.) Pokemon can be dragged around amongst party/box slots. .pkm files can be dragged into and from party/box slots. You can associate compatible files (save files, .pkm files, etc) with PokeGen to be able to easily load them from Explorer windows. Holding alt and clicking a Pokemon icon will display that Pokemon's information instead of requiring you to right click and "View data". Holding shift + alt and clicking a Pokemon icon will set the slot's data with the tab's data. Obviously this is equivalent to right clicking and selecting "Set". If you don't want to receive updates to certain languages, delete the corresponding language file. If you can't figure out how to do something, read the tooltips. For those that don't know, tooltips are an informative message that gets displayed when you stop your mouse pointer over a control (editbox, dropdown box, button, etc) for a short period of time. There's also the questions and answers thread that's being updated occasionally. Note the date on posts in this thread if you're reading through it. There were many changes to the program since its initial release, including a rename, removal of generation 3 support, and other major redesigns. Also, this thread used to be the only way to post feedback/bugs for the program, prior to a forum section being made. That's why it has tons of posts when it's a locked thread.
