Notes
- Pokémon transfer flags: for ORAS demo Glalie/Steelix this is set to 0x0001 0x0001; for Celebi and Johto starters 0x0000 0x0000. Somehow this sets a value in the XY/ORAS savegame that makes the game unable to receive the pokemon again, this is what makes Glalie/Steelix from ORAS Demo only be able to be received once per savegame. Removing that value from the savegame allows to import another Glalie/Steelix. Todo: add offset where that value is stored in XY and ORAS.
- The statement that pokemon data is 160 bytes long is made due to this data being essentially the same as in wondercard data, which is 160 bytes long from TID to end of file.
- If item is not valid, it won't be obtained.
- If pokemon species is not valid (i.e 0x0000), no pokemon will be generated.
- Pokemon link will set egg met location to "Pokemon Link" and met at location to "Pokemon Link" regardless of the value in the data.
