SCREENSHOTS: The project want to: 1) Fix correctly the 3 important items that are RAGE CANDY BAR, SLOWPOKé TAIL and BERSERK GENE, and put them in the right places. 2) Add the function to delete the pokégear numbers 3) Fix the places that have wrong musics respect the original Gold and Silver games (MT MOON for example in the remake have the music of JOHTO dungeon and not is right) 4) Fix the Game corner, with the right buildings, pepole and the function for buy coins. Restore also the COIN CASE in the Goldenrod Undergrounds. Move the fake Game corner into a new building. 5) Fix other censored texts. 6) Fix the Move tutors that will ask you shards instead of battle points. 7) Fix the obligation to battle with the legendary before the pokémon league. 8) Fix the obligation to have the first pokémon out from it's ball when you walk I have already done: Point 3, 4 (partially) 5 and I've found the script that come back a pokémon into it's ball. But maybe I need of a way to create a key item that switch a pokémon out from it's battle or inside. The point (4) it's partially because I've restored the COIN CASE, I've restored the original buildings of KANTO and JOHTO game corners, and moved the fake corner into a new building for maintain the Voltorb flip, but I don't know how copy the original slots from the uncensored japaneese rom of Soul Silver. I need of a way to: Restore the missing ITEMS (i've started an help thread for this: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?46137-Item-hacking-SS-HG) and put them into the 2 Mahogany markets Add the slot machines from the japaneese version without delete the Voltorb Flip, in the original Gold and Silver for the Game boy the games in the Game Corner we're 2, half game corner's machines play slots and the second half the cards game, with a little script I can ask 3 coins for play the Voltorb flip, only in the new building of the fake corner Voltorb flip will remain free, then will be a game corner better of the japaneese version of HG/SS. Add the function for delete the pokégear number. I know only the script string that add a number: Recordpokegearnumber 0x25 actually add Morty's number. If I knew the string that delete the number I could add a multichoice dialog for every trainer, that will ask you if you want to delete their numbers.

Hi I am new to this and tried to get all starters for Pokemon Soulsilver. I added them to my save file and after that, the encounters in the game changed. What can I do so that this doesn't happen aynmore?

I'm glad to present you my attempt at a Pokémon hack, Pokémon MindCrystal, a mod of Pokémon SoulSilver. I warn you though, this hack is available only in French. The crux of this hack is obviously the inclusion of the Fairy-type at 100%. Most of the changes were done from a technical standpoint. These are the few parts of the storyline that were changed as of now: the girl in Ilex Forest gate that gave you the TM12 now gives you instead the Eviolite, Several TMs have changed location. the Day-Care lady gives to you the Odd Egg which can hatch into any 17 non-Togepi babies. all 16 Gym Leaders first teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance and Red. all 16 Gym Leaders second teams got revamped, as well as those of the Elite 4, Lance. the inclusion of Lv.100 battles against Gym Leaders, Elite 4 and Red after defeating the latter for the first time. Grab the xDelta patch at the bottom of this post and patch it with a French version of Pokémon SoulSilver. Revamped type-chart to include the Fairy-type matchup as well as all the neutral match-ups. Pixie Plate implemented. Roseli Berry implemented. Fairy-type Arceus in place of ???-type Arceus. Updated Judgment to take into account the Pixie Plate. Pokédex fully updated to take into account the Fairy-type in Research mode. Conversion updated to take into account the Fairy-type. Conversion 2 updated to take into account all 324 types match-ups. Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row. Fairy-type icon. Pokédex Fairy-type icon. Fairy-type moves: Move Power Accuracy Category PP Priority Effect Comet Punch 18 85 Physical 15 0 - Slam 90 100 Physical 10 0 - Sweet Kiss - 75 Status 10 0 Confusion Charm - 100 Status 20 0 -2 Attack Attract - 100 Status 15 0 Infatuation Moonlight - - Status 5 0 Restore HP Follow Me - 100 Status 20 2 Center of attention Extrasensory 90 100 Special 20 0 20% flinch Covet 40 100 Physical 25 0 Steal items Captivate - 100 Status 20 0 -2 Sp. Attack for opposite gender Battle Frontier: Shiny lock removed for opponents Pokémon in all 5 facilities. New items available for purchase. Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have an IV of 31 in all 6 stats. Battle Frontier Pokémon will always have the ability who is the best tailored for a given set Battle Frontier Pokémon EV and IV generation has been modified to optimize Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room most notably. Battle Tower: Shiny lock removed as well for the NPC partners in Multi Battle mode. Battle Hall: As said earlier, Battle Hall includes the Fairy-type row. You still fight in rounds of 10 battles. The Silver Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 80th battle. The Gold Print is now obtained by challenging and defeating Argenta on the 180th battle. Other mechanics inherent to the Battle Hall were updated to grant a flawless experience of the facility. Shiny chance is now 1/4096. Having a Pokémon with the Ability Super Luck leading the party increases the likelihood of encountering a wild Shiny Pokémon. Shiny generation from "forced shiny encounters" method was slightly altered to take into account the modified Shiny Rate. Cute Charm PID generation is improved and no longer restricted, which means you can no longer abuse Cute Charm for easy Shinies. Shellos and Gastrodon East Sea forms are now available in Kanto. +50% Physical Defense boost for Ice-types under Hail. Soundproof check against Heal Bell removed. Stealth Rock damage is decreased by half. Fixed the move Hail, basically in gen IV the way Hail is coded allows you to use Hail despite Snow Warning. Fixed the move Fire Fang so that it doesn't hit through Wonder Guard anymore unless it happens to be super-effective. Hidden Power can be Normal or Fairy type now as well, the Hidden Power NPC will notice this too. Hidden Power no longer takes into account Speed to calculate the type. Some Base Stats were upgraded to help some Pokémon perform better (for example Persian or Probopass). Starf Berry can now sharply increase accuracy and evasion. Castform and Cherrim alternate forms now display their respective icon during battles. Castform's alternate forms now display their respective type when checked through the menu during battles. HP bar graphics were changed. HP are now displayed for the opposing side in single format, double format is unchanged in that regard. Fixed Strength graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Fixed Facade graphical glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Battle Style is now permanently locked on Set. You can't use items from your bag against a Trainer, very much like against Battle Frontier Trainers! All Trainers' Pokémon have now 31 IVs in all 6 stats. All Trainers' Pokémon have now 255 EVs in all 6 stats. All Trainers' Pokémon have now the possibility to easily get beneficial natures. All Trainers' Pokémon have now the possibility to be shiny. IVs for opponents' Pokémon can be chosen from a pool of 64 combinations, most notably to capitalize on Hidden Power, Gyro Ball and Trick Room. All Trainers' Pokémon can now be contained in Balls other than Poké Balls. The number of possible seals combinations for opponents' Pokémon went up from 28 to 216. Ace Trainer Lois replaces Juggler Irwin in the Pokégear, you can set a rematch with her on Wednesday afternoons (10:00 to 19:59). ASM hack to allow more than 737 trainers in-game (complete with text). Continuity for opposing Trainers is preserved, by that I mean that the IVs, nature, shininess and gender of opposing Pokémon stay the same (for example Falkner's Pidgeot is canonically the same creature as when he was only a Pidgey). Alternate Forms from Trainers now have their correct Ability as well as the correct Base Stats' spread. A new item was created, the Evolutor, which when applied like an Evolutionary Stone to a Lv 100 Pokémon, allows it to evolve if it can do so! Eevee can now evolve into Leafeon if leveled-up at Ilex Forest or Viridian Forest. Eevee can now evolve into Glaceon if leveled-up at Ice Path or Seafoam Islands. Magneton and Nosepass can now evolve into Magnezone and Probopass respectively if leveled-up at Team Rocket HQ, Route 10 or Power Plant. Feebas, on top of requiring a beauty's stat of 170 min, is now required to level-up at least at level 20 to be able to evolve. Feebas gains a second failsafe evolution method in case the Sheen is maxed before the Beauty stat reaches 170. Female/Male Kirlia evolves into Gardevoir/Gallade at Lv 30. Female/Male Snorunt evolves into Froslass/Glalie at Lv 42. Female/Male Clamperl evolves into Gorebyss/Huntail with the Dawn Stone. Pokémon that require a trade to evolve all gained an alternate method of evolution. Incenses babies are now the default base form. Miltank and Tauros are now considered the same species for breeding purposes. Feebas/Milotic and Magikarp/Gyarados are now considered the same species for breeding purposes. Females can now pass egg moves as well, eliminating all impossible egg moves combinations. A new NPC, called the Egg Move Tutor, makes an appearance; as the name implies he is capable of teaching your Pokémon moves that normally it has to know from birth, but also level-up moves that only pre-evolutions can learn, and for some Pokémon moves that they have no other way to learn, but you'll have to spend 100 BP to pay for his services! The Odd Egg will be given to you by the Day-Care lady! Gender ratios are fixed, with that I mean that for example 1 male per female REALLY means 1 male per female (and not 129 males for 127 females). Ponyta, Rapidash, Gardevoir, Feebas, Milotic and Gorebyss are now female-only. Magikarp, Gyarados, Glalie and Huntail are now male-only. EV limit is now 1530, you can max all stats now. The new EV limit also applies in the Battle Frontier. Vitamins cap at 255 EVs now. Vitamins give 15 EVs per usage now. Lv 100 Pokémon can gain EVs by fighting now, but they still need to be deposited in the PC for the stat gains to take fully effect. IVs no longer have an effect on stats, that is stats are always calculated assuming an IV of 31, this is done to not disavantage you to much against Trainers, especially early-game. Updated Items: Light Ball benefits Pichu and Raichu as well now. TM45 and TM78, which contain Attract and Captivate respectively, have been updated with a Fairy-type TM icon. New Items: Pixie Plate Roseli Berry Eviolite Evolutor TMs: TMs are now reusable you can no longer throw away TMs you can no longer give TMs to hold Purchasable TMs, regardless of the currency, can only be bought one at time and only once TM56, TM86 and TM26 are no longer Pickup items and were replaced with Lucky Egg, Life Orb and PP Max respectively each of the 92 TMs is available only once! If possible, moves were upgraded to match Gen V+ information. Nerfs from Gen VI are NOT applied (this means that for example Surf and Hydro Pump remain at 95 and 120 power respectively). Even moves like Tail Glow, which should boost the Special Attack by 3 stages, have been updated successfully (complete with the text). Acupressure now works if the user is behind a substitute. Sleep Talk can now be used multiple times under the effect of Choice Items and/or Encore. SFX for some moves were altered to suit them better. Updated Abilities: Stench (Gen V+ behavior) Sturdy (Gen V+ behavior) LightningRod (Gen V+ behavior) Sand Stream (now makes the user immune against sandstorms) Simple (Gen V+ behavior) Storm Drain (Gen V+ behavior) Snow Warning (now makes the user immune against hailstorms) New Abilities: Sheer Force Contrary Defeatist Cursed Body Multiscale Poison Boost Flare Boost Overcoat (Gen V behavior) Regenerator Sand Rush Wonder Skin Analytic Infiltrator (Gen VI behavior) Magic Bounce Sap Sipper Prankster Sand Force Fur Coat Bulletproof Strong Jaw Refrigerate Gale Wings MegaLauncher Tough Claws Pixilate Aerilate Slush Rush Long Reach Galvanize QueenMajesty Text Speed is now permanently locked on Fast. Battle Scene is now permanently locked on On. National Pokédex is the default mode upon beginning the adventure. Player's Mom can now buy batches of 5 Roseli Berries as well. Roseli Berries can be occasionally held by wild Absol. Game runs now at 60 FPS ! Allowing for much quicker battles. Several sprites changed/fixed. Some shiny sprites recolored. ORAS mini-icons. Palettes for the Pokémon sprites were all updated to B2W2 and improved even further if necessary Replaced Sky Attack move tutor with Zap Cannon. Roseli Berries can now be planted in Berry Pots, they have the same growth and moisture drain rate as the other damage-reducing berries. New movesets and egg moves. Routes 26, 27, 28, Tohjo Falls and Victory Road will always play the Johto versions of the Wild Pokémon theme and the VS Trainer theme. Lyra was fully replaced by Kris. All 7 Fossils are available now at Ruins of Alph. All trees have Pokémon now and ignore the effects of Intimidate and Keen Eye. The timeframe window to react to a rod bite has been doubled to make up for to the game running at 60 FPS while fishing. Fixed the quiet tune on map 108 (Route 45), a glitch that also occurs in the original versions. Bug-Catching Contest species vary according to the day of the week, Scyther and Pinsir are the only Pokémon always available in a Contest but only have a 1% encounter rate! Score calculation for the Bug-Catching Contest was modified to take into account shininess. Pokédex entries got upgraded to match those of Pokémon Crystal (001 to 251) and Pokémon B2W2 (past 251 whenever possible). Gender will always be displayed, even for both Nidorans. Lugia and Ho-Oh Kimonos' cutscenes now co-exist. Bugfix: Fixed Kris' frames when riding a bicycle to the left. Bugfix: Fixed glitched Trainer names with 8 characters or more. Bugfix: Fixed 4 mistakes on overlay 18 that made the game hang upon sending some Pokémon according to their abilities. (thanks Asia81) Bugfix: Capture tutorial work properly Bugfix: Additional trainers work properly Bugfix: Ability Tough Claws work properly Bugfix: Non-Sturdy Pokémon no longer can benefit from Sturdy Bugfix: Player's mom can now buy all 18 kinds of super-effective Berries Bugfix: Bug catching score calculation now takes into account Shininess properly Bugfix: Egg IV calculation fixed Bugfix: Growth, Minimize, Sweet Scent and Tail Glow work properly even when called by other moves Bugfix: Acupressure now works if the user is behind a substitute, even if Acupressure is called by other moves Bugfix: Roseli Berry now always reduces super-effective damage from Fairy-type moves Bugfix: Lugia and Ho-Oh cutscenes were slowed down to 30 FPS to work properly on a NDS Bugfix: Entering a fight no longer causes a BSoD after talking to the Egg Move Tutor Title Screen: All of those modifications were carefully tested on a NDS, so as to reduce as much as possible the eventual bugs that might occur.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please update to the latest version if you were using 1.0.2, a pretty serious glitch was fixed. It uses the same download link Introduction Pokémon SoothingSilver is a QOL DS ROM hack of Pokémon SoulSilver. The main goal of the hack is to be somewhat close to Vanilla SoulSilver but with more variety, a bit more difficulty and quite a few new features (such as custom shinies and alolan forms) to hopefully give the player an even better experience without ruining the feeling of the original SoulSilver. The game is beatable, all the way to Mt. Silver!Features Some Pokémon have been replaced by their Alolan forms, mainly for type variety, later on I'll release a patch for people who don't want this feature in the game. Alolan forms have custom Pokédex entries! All gen 1 & 2 Pokémon (apart from legendaries and fossil pokémon) are avaliable before beating the league, and most gen 3 & 4 pokémon aside from the sinnoh fossils, Spiritomb and some legendaries. Lyra is replaced entirely by Kris! Gold/ Kris will now act like a rival with new dialogue and a few battles throughout the game! Variety. Remember back in the original SoulSilver when you would find a trainer with 5 Pidgeys or when you fought Lance and he had 3 Dragonites? That won't happen anymore, trainers will have more varied teams and Pokémon that didn't appear much previously, will do now. Increased difficulty. All boss trainers have improved teams with better movesets and starting from the 4th gym all trainers will have increased levels. This means Kanto should be more of a challenge now! The difficulty is intended to be somewhere inbetween vanilla SoulSilver and StormSilver. The Hack should work on flashcarts like the R4! All Pokémon have their base stats updated to their Gen 6 stats. Some Pokémon have slightly altered stats, typings, and movesets in order to make them more usable, to add more type variety or just because it makes sense. Examples include Dragon-Bug Yanmega, Beedrill having slightly higher stats and learning Megahorn at later levels. These changes aren't as drastic as other hacks like Project rebooted. Some moves have been edited to be more usuable. Notably HMs are now actually better in battle so they don't hinder your Pokémon as much. For example Rock smash has increased pp and 100% chance to lower defense and Flash is now an electric type special move with 20 power, 95 accuracy, 100% chance lower accuracy and has priority. Easier Evolution. If a Pokémon has an evolution/ pre evolution introduced in gen 3/4 it'll be avaliable pre league and all evo items can be obtained in new ways. In addition any evolutions will be possible without having to trade. The type chart has been edited a little to help balance the game. Most notably Ice type is now immune to ice and resists water/ ground attacks New overworld events! Shiny rate increased from 1/8192 to 1/2048 (although it seems to be even higher than this!) Some pokémon will have custom shiny palletes! GB sounds from the start of the game Game corner has changed prizes and cheaper prices Early exp. share Removed the catching tutorial Repels and Max Repels now last slightly longer and Max Repels are cheaper Some characters have their dialouge altered a little to be slightly more memorable or just to explain features like alolan forms Plus more small features! I don't want to spoil everything :] Screenshots Discord Server If you want to ask me any questions, talk about the hack/ pokémon in general, get frequent updates on future versions, play with some pokémon discord bots and more then try joining the discord server!

Thank you to Drayano for allowing me to use parts of his Kyogre/ Rayquaza script plus future legendary scripts! And thank you to all of you who supported me or just played the BETA and kept my motivation up, couldn't have done it without you! Future Updates I still plan on releasing a few updates to add cool new features that I would love to have in the game such as new areas. However recently I began my second year of university. I had pretty much made this whole hack during my extended summer because of the corn virus, but now that Uni has resumed and is supposed to be much more difficult this year, the development of SoothingSilver will slow down drastically so I don't even have an expected release date for the next version. However I made sure to get version 1 out before I got too busy which is pretty much a finished experience. I may release a bug fix update soon but aside from that the next update will take a long time, so enjoy version 1 thank you so much again for all your support! Buh bye!

Hi all, I am a IT student and I am currently trying to reverse engineer the inner working of the Gen IV Distribution ROM. I already figured out the basics but... Right now, I am facing an issue with the way data is encrypted. I already know of tools such as WC4PCD or PokeGen, PokeHex... but I am trying to understand and create my own program to decrypt and reencrypt all by myself. So I am asking if any one here as any leads or straight up know what encryption algorithm is used. I obviously did some research but no luck yet. (Chat GPT told me to XOR the file but idk what key to use). Thanks in advance, and my apologies if I made any english mistake

Infinite TMs in Gen IV --- Let me first preface this by saying that this was figured out by Mikelan98 (with some help from Nextworld and BagBoy to find some of the offsets in different languages). Mikelan98 has requested that you give credit to him if you implement this in your hack. This is simply a documentation so the information doesn't get lost - I didn't figure out any of this myself! This is for the American (U) versions of Platinum and Heart Gold / Soul Silver. Step 1: Extract the relevant files --- First we need to get the right files out of the ROM. For Platinum, you'll need the arm9.bin and the overlay_0084.bin files. For HG / SS, you'll need the decompressed arm9.bin and a decompressed overlay_0015.bin files. (Use the Extract(U) option in crystaltile2 to decompress.) Step 2: Edit the code to make the TM quantity not drop after use --- For Platinum, we want to make the following changes: * Search for "FE 00 28 07 D1 08 48" in the arm9.bin file. * Replace the "D1" with "E0" so that it now reads "FE 00 28 07 E0 08 48". For HG/SS, we want to make the following changes: * Search for "FD 00 28 07 D1 0A 48" in the decompressed arm9.bin file. * Replace the "D1" with "E0" so that it now reads "FD 00 28 07 E0 0A 48". Step 3: Edit the code to make the item quantity not appear for TMs in the bag --- For Platinum, we want to make the following changes: * Search for "FF F7 83 FF 04 B0" in the overlay_0084.bin file. * Replace the first four bytes with "00 00 00 00", so it should now read "00 00 00 00 04 B0". For HG/SS, we want to make the following changes: * Search for "81 42 53 D3" in the decompressed overlay_0015.bin file. * Replace the "D3" with E0 so that it now reads "81 42 53 E0". Step 4: Rebuild the ROM --- You'll need to reinsert the relevant files as needed. For HG/SS, you'll need to recompress them when adding them to the ROM by using the "Compression" option to import them back when using crystaltile2. After that, save and/or build your ROM, and you should find that TMs don't show a quantity anymore, and they also won't disappear after being used.

Hello, I recently decided to transfer some Pokemon from an Emerald save file to my SoulSilver, using the latest version of PKHex. The problem is, none of the Pokemon I edited in show up in the Pokedex when I check it. I've tried putting them in my PC/the daycare and then taking them out and battling with them in wild encounters but they still don't show up. When I go to Pokedex tab in PKHex it says that the Pokemon are caught but not seen. I've used PKHex before and the Pokemon I've added to my saves have been added to my dex, it's only with the latest version that this has happened. Should I just edit the dex manually for now? (I've attached the file for reference, some Pokemon it's doing this with are Crobat, Espeon, Typhlosion, and Ampharos) POKEMON SS.sav

Edit: I found the button that makes it a spoiler block

I've played a few Soul Link's so far and every time I start my play session for the day it's always kind of an annoying process. Loading up 2 separate emulators, 2 roms, having to rekeybind the controllers every time. I was wondering if someone would be able to make a program that could make it easier. If your unfimiliar with a Soul Link Nuzlocke, heres the rules. 1- Any Pokémon that faints is considered "dead," and must be released or stored in a specified PC box for "dead" Pokémon. 2- You can only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. 3- You must also nickname all of your Pokémon, for the sake of forming "stronger emotional bonds." 4- In a new area, the first encounters for both players will be, "linked," together until death. 5- If one Pokémon in a linked pair is placed in the PC, it's Soul Link partner must be placed in the PC as well. 6- If one Pokémon in a linked pair dies, it's Soul Link partner is considered dead as well. 7- If one player fails to capture their first encounter in an area, the second player must forfeit their encounter in their corresponding area. 8- Across both players parties, primary typings may not be repeated. Basically what I'm looking for is a program that emulates 2 roms side by side and be able to control them individually. I've thought of a few features to make it better. Features -Emulators from all consoles built in - Ex. VBA, Desmume, and Citra -Saves both roms under 1 "project" and loads them on the same side every time -Type Chart ready -Online Remote Play - Be able to join your friends session online to see and control one of the games. -Games connected locally so you can trade and battle -Database where you can input your linked pokemon pairs and where you caught them -Built in Pokedex Database (Not necessary but would be helpful) -Program reads both your teams and displays them between the game (I'm aware that's not an easy ask but if it's possible, why not) I feel like except for a couple of them this is a completely possible thing to create. I know it probably wont happen but I just thought I'd get the idea out there. I love doing Soul Links and I'm so happy people found a way to make Pokemon Co-op. Thanks for your time.

Main effect: The probability is PP/65536. PP is equal to 08 by default. You can now put the value 10 (16 chances in 65536), like in Gen VI. Decompress arm9.bin. Go to offset 0×70080* and change the value 08 into QQ. QQ can take any value from 00 (no shiny at all) to FF (roughly 1 in 257 chance). *Regions' differences: Language Shiny chance Japanese 0×6FAC0 Spanish HG 0×70078 Korean HG 0×7017C Korean SS 0×70174 Others 0×70080 Side-effect: Formula reminder: (Trainer ID ⊕ Secret ID) ⊕ (16 leftmost bits of PID ⊕ 16 rightmost bits of PID) = CID What I call the CID (stands for Color ID) must be a number between 0 and 7 included for its bearer to be shiny. For example let's say you decided to update the value from 0×08 to 0×10, what will happen you may ask? Any caught Pokémon who happens to have their CID between 8 and 15 included and who weren't shiny before the update will turn shiny!

Hello again! Ok so I've been working on a Pokemon SoulSilver Romhack and I've now reached the scripting stage. In a small amount of time I figured out how to change the game corner prizes and gift pokémon through SDSME. Feeling motivated with my progress I tried moving onto more complex things. I wanted to make the spiky eared pichu event avaliable without the need of action replay. However then I realised that you need a mystery gift shiny pichu to trigger the aforementioned event. Apparently the game will trigger the event if the shiny pichu in your party has the description 'met through a fateful encounter'. With my very limited knowledge I went through every script function for Ilex Forest trying to figure out what I had to do to trigger the spiky eared pichu event using a normal shiny pichu. However with my limited knowledge I don't really know what I'm supposed to change and the number of functions in the Ilex Forest map are overwhelming. I'm guessing there is a 'checkflag' line somewhere that if I remove should produce the desired effect. If I figured out how to do this then I could also trigger other events that normally require event pokémon such as the giovanni and sinjoh ruins events. If anyone knows how to help then please reply, it would be a big help! TLDR: does anyone know which flag checks for the fateful encounter description on a Pokémon? Or does anyone just have a list of flags that the game uses?

Hi guys, I've been having some trouble with saving data on my soulsilver retail cart. After completing the game myself, I decided to save a backup and play in one of the contributed saves in the threads, this was about a year ago and everything seemed to work fine (i could save and open the game without difficulty). Recently I wanted to get into rng and decided to change both the sid and tid of the save through pkhex. Exported it and it restored perfectly. After about an hour of playing I decided to save the game and edit a few Pokemon through pksm (just a bit of fun, added pokerus into a chatot). Booted the game up, played a bit, saved and soft resetted. After the opening cutscenes, I got the blue corruption screen. Now whatever save I use, either a file found in the user contributed saves thread or a backup of the previous saves, the same results after saving the game happens. The main issue now that I think about it would be because I changed the OT/SID/TID of these saves? PS After a while of researching, I've realised that when saving the message reads 'saving a lot of data'. This lead me to the github page about an issue from editing box data in HGSS which caused this bug. Does anyone know any other ways to resolve this (don't really want to save multiple times due to the nature of RNG Heres the page https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/issues/2697 EDIT: Ignore this, ive found solutions

Pokémon UnovaHGSS Rom info: Hack of: Pokémon SoulSilver (USA) (HeartGold will be supported at a later date) Language: English Current Version: Alpha v1.1 (goes up to Ilex Forest) Last Updated: 10th April, 2012 Summary UnovaHGSS is a hack of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver that integrates the new fifth generation Pokémon from Black and White into the game. The new Pokémon are not meant to replace the original 251, rather, my intention is to have them alongside the original Pokémon. Not all Pokémon will be included in this hack – very few third and fourth generation Pokémon appear. To include the Unovian Pokémon, I had to replace existing Pokémon, so most third and fourth gen Pokémon are gone. This is my first actual hack, so I’m still new at this. The battle sprites for the new Pokémon are placeholders, simply taken from Black/White and put into the game until I create original sprites for them. All but a few overworld sprites for the new Pokémon were created through a community endeavor over at DeviantArt; I made a few myself, notably the larger Golurk sprite. Shiny Pokémon are also fully supported, in-battle and overworld. Features: -Every Pokémon from Unova will be obtainable in this game, alongside every first and second generation Pokémon! Some third and fourth generation Pokémon also available! -All Unovian Pokémon will follow you around for the first time! -Slightly increased difficulty – stronger trainers, wild Pokémon, etc. -More features will be added in future versions FAQ: Screenshots: Videos: (Might be loud - complete silence for a few seconds, then music starts) [YOUTUBE]dkB8NwL0xQ4[/YOUTUBE] Credits: Tools used: DeviantArt community – for making all the Unova overworld sprites. Link Chaos Rush – for his wonderful endeavor in creating resized sprites. I’m using the Reshiram and Zekrom in the game for now - Link Poryhack – for pointing me in the right direction for hex editing Pokémon icon palettes (whenever I learn how, I will make a program that will make editing the icons and palettes easier than hex editing them). Also thanks to Poryhack and the Project Pokémon community for creating a list of the HGSS File system - Link Stratocaster - for creating a guide on how to change every aspect of a Pokémon. This hack would not have happened without it - Link PokeCommunity – for giving me the desire to hack Pokémon games back in 2007 when I knew even less than I do now MediaFire – for continuing its services through this stupid anti-piracy craze… Bugs: Changelog: Downloads and Documentation: Link to patch and xdelta (used to patch the original rom) List of Changed Pokémon

Update 2: This seems to be a SoulSilver, PKHex error/glitch. (Not 100% sure, feel free to test out and let me know.) I’ve tested this out on 2 original SoulSilver cartridges, and I’ve had 2 different PC box problems. The 1st SoulSilver: I can edit and save everything on the SoulSilver file, except Pokémon in the PC, it won’t save the PC box edits from the SD card. Example: I’ll back up my game with checkpoint> pop the SD card it into my pc and open the file in PKHex> I’ll give myself 100,000₽, 1 Master ball, and edit my level 10 Ekans to level 11, and give it +6HP, +252ATT, and +252SPD EV’s. > I’ll save the edits to the SD card> pop the SD card back into the 3DS and restore the newly edited Sav> I’ll turn the game on and I’ll have the 100,000₽, and the 1 Master ball, but the Ekans is at level 10. It doesn’t save Pokémon or edited in the PC. The second SoulSilver: It will edit the box is like normal, but I’m getting the blue screen “save file could not be loaded, will load previous save” about 10% of the time, when I start my game after an edit. Note, I’m not doing any crazy edits to these Pokémon, just leveling them up by 1, and Maxing out EV’s. I’ve been using PK hacks for a few years but this is the first real error/problem I’ve ever gotten. If you know what’s going on please let me know. ——— update 1: Still don’t know what’s going on but I have learned, I can edit my Pokémon X, Pokémon platinum, and another SoulSilver game just fine. It seems to be this specific soul silver game cartridge I can’t edit. Anyone know what I should do? I can’t figure out if it’s checkpoint or PKHeX. Everything is up to date, Luma, checkpoint, and PKHeX. I’m not new to PKHEX, but this has got me stumped. I can backup my SoulSilver sav, edit it, and save it to the SD card just fine, the problem is every time I try to restore my Edited Sav from the SD card, it will say it was successful restored, but when I boot up the game, it’s the original sav. One thing I did notice was the sav type may have changed? Not sure if that has anything to do with it? It is the only thing I can save as though. Anyone have any idea what’s going on?

Scenario 1: In Pokémon Soulsilver I caught 2 Vulpix and engaged in a few Trainer Battles. I open the Save in PKHex. The Vulpix appears as "caught" in the Pokédex; The XP gained from Trainer Battles is there; Both Vulpix do not appear in PKHex. Scenario 2: In Pokémon Soulsilver I caught 3 Magnemite. I open the Save in PKHex. They appear there normally. I edit 1 into Magneton. I edit 1 into Magnezone. Legality check: Tick. I export the Main. I open the Game: 3 Magnemite in their original Position. No edits carried over. (In short: sometimes Game Pokémon dissappear in PKHex; Sometimes PKHex Pokémon disappear in the Game) (This Save will only have the Scenario 1 - Vulpix Error) Pokémon - SoulSilver.sav2 (The Trainers in the South haven't been battled, because I gave myself the Gym Badges. If I went through the entire Region again, I would have to do everything again, once the error occurs again.) Attempted Fix: Starting a new Game, editing TID, SID, Items etc. too look as close as the old file. Initially works. No Game-PKHex problems. But after 2-3 Saves, this problem comes up again.

Heya! Without going into too much detail, I lost my heart gold copy in 2013 and lost what was on my team, however my friend still has my teams data in the trainer house of his heart gold from back when we used to use the Pokewalker with each other. He let me back his save onto my computer, and I am now curious if anyone would have any idea as to how to extract my Pokemon data off the save. Thanks!

Okay so I'm going a bit crazy with this. I'm trying to modify Pokemon Soul Silver to feature Dawn instead of Lyra. Originally I was just going to replace her overworld sprite but my ideas are getting out of control so maybe I'll go all out. I was thinking it'd be cool if the player select let you choose between DP and PT Dawn, but I think that would make your rival the other Dawn which might be weird >_>; Though it could work I guess if one is named Dawn and one is named Hikari (her Japanese name.) I have a bunch of the programs that I need afaik but I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to use them. I managed to replace the BTX for Lyra with Dawn but when I tried to load the game it crashed so I'm back to square one. Seriously if anyone is interested in this idea I'd love a hand. I've got an interested party on tumblr too who'd love to play so yeah... Thanks in advance! (The picture is from standard Soul Silver using an AR code.)

1. I downloaded the TWLSaveTool .zip file and extracted it to the root of my microSD card. 2. I also downloaded the .cia file and left it in microSD/cias/TWLSaveTool.cia 3. I switched to my 2DS XL with pokemon dream radar installed. Then I launched homebrew but TWL save tool had an undecipherable caption and lauching it only loaded one line of text (see pictures provided.) After that. the only thing i can do is power off my 2DS which leads to the picture provided that starts with "An exception occurred." 4. Since homebrew didnt work, i tried installing the .cia file now using fbi first and then dev menu. I got the TWLSaveTool to appear on the home menu but launching it results in the scenario i mentioned; black screen with one line of text. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? CHECK VIDEO PROVIDED AS WELL OF MY 3DS MICRO SD CARD. 20190513_203832.mp4

Hello everyone. :) So, I'm fairly new still to the idea of ROM editing and tried asking around on reddit for an answer to my current predicament. So, I wanna do a HeartGold Nuzlocke series after a failed FireRed Nuzlocke that ended in, well... the death of my team (and story-wise for a laugh my trainer). I wanted to change the teams of both Blue and Red to be similar (with adjustments) to both Blue's team from FireRed with some changes to suit my brother's personality (named it after his name on Twitch) and Red's team to be the "dream team that could have been", which I was able to accomplish using PPRE. I also wanted to change the name of Blue and Red to my original trainer's name and his rival's name from FR, but with PPRE that doesn't seem possible - or at least with the version I have. Is there a way to find an older version or another program that lets me change trainer names available? Or is there another way to safely edit the names of trainers? Also, if, by some chance, there's a way to give a trainer's Pokemon nicknames without changing all instances of a Pokemon's name to said nickname, how could I do that - or would that require creating a separate, unobtainable version of the respective Pokemon? Thank you for your time.
