I know that it'a legal to change the ball type of any pokemon (excluding events and special mons). Just wondering if the game and more importantly, Home and Bank would know if the ball type has been changed. For example, if there's a data/code that says the ball type was modified. I'm planning to catch a lot of legendaries with master balls to make catching super easy. And eventually changing them to the ball types of my liking.

Extra Mythical and Legends are listed below. If you change the code on row six from 327 each time you can catch a different mythical or legendary pokemon every time. 326 - Blacephalon 325 - Stakataka 323 - Poipole 322 - Marshadow 321 - Magearna 320 - Necrozma 289 - Genesect 288 - Meloetta 287 - Keldeo 286 - Kyurem 284 - Zekrom 283 - Reshiram 182 - Deoxys 181 - Jirachi 180 - Rayquaza 097 - Mew 096 - Mewtwo I'll add a lot more codes once I've researched what is what and which ones doesn't work (a lot of pokemon don't match their number at all!). All encounters are Level 1 unless you change YY value.

Hi Everyone I have recently got into ROM Hacking and had a lot of fun playing with Wild Pokemon Levels, Trainer Pokemon Levels and tweaking difficulties etc. in Platinum. However the two main things I want to try and learn how to do are: 1). Change the levels of Legendary Pokemon - I cannot for the life of me find out how to change these, I have only managed to do Wild Pokemon so far. Basically I want to change a few levels in Platinum and slightly change their movepools: (eg. Regigigas to Lvl 70, The Regis to Lvl 40 atleast, Arceus to Lvl 100, Giratina to Lvl 50, Heatran to Lvl 70) This is to go with the increased level challenges I am giving myself (along with changing the Pkmn Evolutions to not require trading which I have already done successfully) 2). I have just finished playing through Black & White, and I was wondering if it is possible to make the version alternate Dragon (Zekrom in Black, Reshiram in White) appear in Dragon Spiral Tower in the Post-Game? I would set it to be captured at Lvl 70 so there is the option of catching both of the Yin & Yang Dragons. (I would do this in B2W2 as well at a later date when I finally play through that) This I imagine will be quite advanced, as I havent got that far into Map Editting etc. Would anyone be able to give me any tips in approaching these two ideas if possible please? Number 1 I have a funny feeling im missing something incredibly obvious, but number 2 should be a longer term project I will do over the coming weekends - Just looking for some guidance to see if it is possible and the best tools / tutorials to look at to achieve this Many thanks in advance! Monty

Hey guys sorry for the noobish question but im making a hack for Pokemon white where i want to change the legendary encounters, i'm making a hack with all my favourite pokemon in it which i want to change some of the legendaries for (as i was never keen on any of the horses or on the Genies either) i basically want to change a few, so in the end i want the 3 Legendary birds plus Lugia (i'm thinking of replacing the horses for them) Darkrai and Cressilia (im thinking the two available Genies) but i also want Entei, Raikou, Suicune and Giritina in there, any ideas how i would approach this, thanks in advance!!

The legend states that Ho-oh revived three Pokemon that lived in its tower when it was burned. The three Pokemon were also given the forms of the three beasts, but they were never always like that (seriously. Suicune could have quenched the flames and Entei couldn't have been burnt). I'm guessing Raikou was an Ampharos, Suicune maybe a Slowking and Entei maybe being an Arcanine (lets say he was crushed by the building then). They could also have been a Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon though. But Eevee's not even catchable in the wild. I bet the Mansion owner guy just buys a bunch of them and releases them in his garden...

Hello, I just got my Action Replay up and running for my 3DS, and decided to gen up some Pokemon to test it out. However, I've come into a slight problem: I am able to generate normal Pokemon, ie Ditto and Rhyperior, but when I attempt legendary Pokemon such as Arceus, it wont appear. I'm doing this via making it with Pokegen, generating an AR code with select as the trigger and it being in party slot 2, then loading it into my Action Replay. When in the game though, pressing select will NOT make the Arceus appear in my party, in fact, it won't do anything. Other Pokemon normal Pokemon however, work perfectly fine. Has this happened to anyone else? Or are there any known fixes? Thank you!

Since new legendary Pokemon were created in Generation II, I was always curious what new legendaries* will come and where their palce will be in the whole picture. So as the generations went on, I slowly realised there is some kind of structure or pattern behind it. But first I have to make clear that this is based on the games and has as least as possible to do with what the Anime says as it treats them regarding it's own logic and stories (Thou shall not catch legendaries etc ) I also posted such a thread on another forum some time ago so some things will be copied from there. So, there are obvious "relations" and hidden ones. An obvious relation between legendaries would be: -Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres are a trio. The proof that one can really distinguish those kind of relations, before anything has been said about them officially, OR find ones that are held as secret by the game makers, is the reaction people had after checking Giratina at the time Dialga and Palkia were obvious counterparts, while there wasn't anything told about Giratina: There were 2 kinds of opinions on forums. The few people that checked Giratina's ingame features (base statuses, attacks, levels the attacks are learned, types....) and looked at it's design closely, said: -Giratina is with no doubt the third counterpart to Palkia and Dialga -Dialga, Palkia and Giratina are obviously a TRIO -Giratina will be on the box of the 3rd installment etc.... Everyone else/the majority, answered: -They're not related! With Platinum announced it became clear that the former group was right about this. *Now I have to determine what I mean with legendaries: Every Pokemon normally known as legendary besides the 600TBS (total base stats) events, duos and just very special Pokemon: -MEW* It contains DNA of every other Pokemon -MEWTWO Manmade clone of Mew -CELEBI, JIRACHI, SHAYMIN, MANAPHY Event pokemon ("unobtainable") with special abilities, the regular MEW like Pokemon of it's generation -LATIOS & LATIAS The very rare eon duo -DEOXYS A mutated virus from space -CRESSELIA & DARKRAI Moon phase duo (like the Lati@s) -HEATRAN Piece of molten crap that eats crap (sounds like a potential Deoxys counterpart ) -PHIONE At first it seems like theres no point in it. But with some thinking(DX) I figured that out: Mewtwo is a stronger unnatural version of Mew If they wanted to make the opposite with Manaphy, what would it be? A weaker natural version. Now what's the only natural thing legendaries are missing? Right, reproduction. Mew vs. Arceus You have probably all seen a thread like "Which ones the god?" IMO, they tried to create 2 Pokemon that would represent the real-world's debate about the origin of life. -Scientists belive Mew to be the ancestor of Pokemon -Myths talk about Arceus creating the Universe Theory of Evolution vs Religious creationism =) (The right answer is the third option: They were all created by humans from the real world.) I'm going to list some interesting things about legendaries from each generation, but not the features, that mebmers of a trio have in common which prove the fact of them being a trio (just check their pokedex to see those (similar moveset/levels, base stats, abilities etc)). Generation I +Articuno +Zapdos +Moltres -The Ice, Electric and Fire birds. -They're found at places fitting their abilities and where they have probably chosen themselves to reside at. -It's worth mentioning that Moltres was stronger in RBY when there was only 1 special stat. Generation II +Raikou +Entei +Suicune Addition of another trio, the cats (lion, tiger and cheetah ARE NOT DOGS -.-). -Electric, Fire sound familiar, but there is no Ice cat before them, but a Water one after them. This is what started my curiosity. Is there a reason why they did this with Suicune? Yes. I think they realised, it would get too repetitive and boring if every generation had the same 3 types used for a legendary trio. Choosing 3 different types would get them like 3 good combinations (especially when ecluding possible secondary types like flying, bug or dragon). So a complex and interesting solution is keeping some and changing some every generation! We will see. -They are a perfectly balanced trio stat-wise, with Raikou having best S.Atk and Speed, Entei HP and Atk, and Suicune S.Def and Def -Found in "hybernation mode"/asleep in a cave under a destroyed building -After awaking them, they roam through the grasses of Johto -Suicune plays a special role in Crystal +Lugia +Ho-oh -The 2 new "Mewtwos", as those 3 were the only one with 680TBS (which is 100 more than legendary trios) -2 towers were constructed by humans to show their gratitude, the Brass and Tin tower. They came resting on the tops. Ho-oh's tower was destroyed by a storm. Under it is the mentioned cave where the 3 Cat Pokemon, said to be resurrected by Ho-oh after dying, are found. Lugia flew away into the ocean, while Ho-oh sometime returns to the left standing tower. So at the 2nd Generation, we have 2 huge flying monsters which seem to have some kind of guardian role to the 2 trios. Generation III +Regirock +Regice +Registeel -A Rock, ICE and Steel Golem trio. Ice wasn't yet used twice in trios, so they repeat it and add 2 totally new types (probably because Ice and water in the same trio would be odd) which also fit the golem concept. Good job IMO. -Very defensive oriented -Regirock is the physical, Regice the special golem and Registeel is the balanced version of the other two. -They're sealed into hidden caves, which for access require intelligence for reading braille instructions on solving puzzles. -They don't have any real eyes (you'll see later why I mention this) +Groudon +Kyogre +Rayquaza -The ancient climate influencing 3. -Well they actually are not a trio, because Rayquaza is superior to Groudon and Kyogre: It has 680 TBS instead of 670 It has 2 types instead of 1 It has multi colored patterns on it's body instead of 1 colour It's abilities disables the other 2's abilities effects. -Rayquaza plays a guardian-like role in that it acts intelligent (Emerald event) instead of just going out on rampage after waking like Groudon and Kyogre So we got another trio (without a fitting guardian) another big flying intelligent monster and 2 troublemaking monsters. Generation IV +Uxie +Mesprit +Azelf -a whole psychic trio representing Knowledge, Emotion and Will. I was a bit shocked about this as it made no sense what was going on here, as they seemed to have the regular trio 580 TBS, but at the same time looked extremely similar. My prediction which I was 100% sure of happening was: 1 member being water type 1 either rock or steel 1 with an yet unused type for trio legendaries q_Q? After taking a deeper look at them I realised something interesting: -Azelf represents Will, reminding me of how the birds are the only trio not to be sealed up somewhere -Uxie represents Knowledge ---> Regi chambers (closed eyes) -Mesprit: Emotion Balanced stats Runs away and roams the region ->They are the past 3 trios in 3 Pokemon +Regigigas -4th bigger stronger golem (the birds got their guardian a generation later in Lugia) -Surprisingly it has 670 stats, is asleep sealed in a temple (Kyogre, Groudon?). +Dialga +Palkia +Giratina -The dimension trio 680TBS. -They live in different dimensions and are capable of altering those. -They're part dragon... wait a second. Take a look at their primary types: Steel Water Ghost My explanation for why the missing type pattern was put on 680 monsters: Gamefreak realised they got into a habbit of releasing THREE main games every generation, and adding a TRIO every generation. So they combined them. We will see if the fifth generation will continue the type pattern on main legendaries or if they'll go back to 580. But we can logicaly assume their primary types: One will be surely rock, ghost will be saved for the 6th generation trio, so the other two will have yet unused types/one of the following: Grass, Fight, Poison, Ground or Dark Yay. The legendary pattern as of Gen IV: And the non-legendary legendaries: Thanks for reading. 1.Do you find this as interesting as I do? 2.Does this make any logic to anyone else than me? 3.Anyone else can't wait to see what legendaries are coming next?

i have moltres , zapdos and Xerneas want to trade for shiny pokemon . ..

Hey Everyone, Im playing Black 2, Generation V Offering: Tornadus, Landorus, Thundurus, Cresselia, Heatran, Regigigas, Regirock, Registeel, Regice, Latios, Latias, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Entei, Raikou (Shiny), Suicune, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie, Deoxys Seeking: Any legit legendaries or event pokemon not listed above Thanks for looking!

How do I go about making a legit enough Legendary like latios so that it can be used in random matchup? Using pokegen of course!

Yet another generalized question for the great members of Project Pokemon. Which of the ten legendaries from the Hoenn region did you like most?

I'm using Pokemon White. So basically whenever I try to create LEGIT legendary Pokemon with the newest version of PokeGen it doesn't work, they're illegal when I'm following everything to make them legal, for instance I send it to my game with Pokemon selector and when I try to trade it over GTS Negotiations it says there was a problem with my Pokemon, because they're not legal. I think the problem is, is that you can't breed legendaries because it works with all my Pokemon besides legendaries. I set all my Pokemon in an egg that hatched at Route 1 and the location Day-Care couple and Encounter Egg/Pal Park/Event/Honey Tree Shaymin. So I tried making a legal shiny Giratina but it was illegal, so then I figured you can't meet a Giratina at level 1 in an egg that's probably the problem, so I used the older version of PokeGen and unchecked egg, made it's encounter Distortion world, made the game Platinum, made it's encounter level 47 and it still was illegal. Then I made sure that all it's moves it learned by either TM's or by leveling up not by a move tutor and it still didn't work when I tried trading it over GTS Negotiations. I'm using my real trainer ID and Secret ID but I generate a shiny ID. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing wrong, it works for every single Pokemon but Legendaries and I'm pretty sure it's not the shiny part because I've made legit shiny Pokemon. Could anyone help me out?

I was originally intending on posting a poll but the poll would include 34 choices so I decided against it. My favorite legendary believe it or not is NOT Shaymin. My favorite legendary would definitely have to be Ho-Oh or Celebi respectively. What is yours? Post it here
