ROM Hack FAQ: PokeSav

[Raikou]

No one is working on it because you don't need it to get hacked shit to trade over wifi or the GTS. It trades/battles just fine, so what's the problem?

 

[Satangel]

The screen of PokeSAV doesnt fit on my screen...
Any tips, so I can see all the options of PokeSAV?

 

[palasx]

@satangel, download one of the smaller font versions, it has been posted here in this thread. or you can google "pokesave smaler font"

@Raikou, its not about getting the pokemon into the game, you can hatch , breed, or parent-hack perfect IVs in, but it is tedious, and doesnt give us an idea of how nintendo checks for hacks on wifi/gts

I ask for want of knowledge, by the time the next gen poke-game comes out, i'd like to see pika-anti-cheat's source. to be honest, im not really sure why he doesnt release it himself.

anyhow, would someone with great poke-knowledge please take the time to answer these questions? you can leave me a message on aim, same username. thank you.

as an asside, i really really hate reverse engineering stat algorithms, i hated it when i worked on ragnarok online simulators, i hated it hacking snes games, and i hated it coding diablo bots (much less on diablo bots you really only have to guess on the type of monser attacking you from well documented sources and just drink a potion) so rambling aside, if you have any info, thank you in advance

I didn't find a smaller font version on this topic, and I can't search the complete form at the moment (thanks to Brawl)
I Googled, and I eventually found it on Kodewerx, after a half hour searching

So here is a smaller font version of PokeSav:

PokeSav 0.39 Small Font


My Pokemon don't listen to me anymore, any option in PokeSav that makes them listen to me again?

 

[Zalda]

I would also like to know how my pokemons listen again to me, without having to change their level our OT.
They are traded, by changing the OT name, but now they don't listen anymore...

Any help?

And no, I'm not gonna give myself the badges, I dont like that method

With the parameters you have stated, it is impossible. The only way to make pokemon that do not have your OT name and ID number obey you is to have the appropriate badge. There is no way to force them to obey even through hacking. You could change your own name and ID to match theirs if you don't want to change the pokemon.
Otherwise you'll just have to move on through the game and get the badges.

20 pages is alot to go through so I'll just ask...

Is there a webpage or database for what exactly the Pokemon(mainly the legendary since they are always the same in terms of abilities and level when caught EX: Arceus, Mew, Jirachi, etc) level, abilities, etc are so that they can be made on the Pokesav and(while they are hacked) they won't looked hacke, if that makes any since. Thanks.

I have this problem, where I put in my OT as "Na!l" for my pokemon(my name in the game) and it won't work. Whenever I export it as an AR code or save it, it immediately changes the OT for all the pokemon im coding as "N" I have the newest version of Pokesav, so is there a way to fix this?

EDIT: One other small problem I have, is it says "The egg aparantly hatched" Instead of saying "Egg hatched in route 203" or something like that.

i had a look at ur pokesav pic and i hav found ur problem

u do not hav anything in ur secret id slot and therefore it is not classified as ur own pkmn

a pkmn is only counted as ur own if name, gender, id and secret id ALL match urs

if not then it is not considered as ur pkmn and says u got it in a trade, hence "The egg aparantly hatched" which happens 2 all traded pkmn legit or not

if u want 2 fix ur problem find out ur secret id and input that, as it is just as important us ur regular id

i had lots of trouble with this one until i figured out my secret id and now all my pkmn say "met at" or "egg hatched" instead of "aparrently met at" or "egg apparently hatched"^^

im sure there is an ar code to change ur money to ur secret id, but it is easier to get a gameshark ds and convert the .gds file into a .sav file, edit it with pokesav + find ur secret id, then convert it back 2 a .sav again and stick it back on ur game cart

btw i find it A LOT easier 2 edit existing pkmn rather than making new ones from scratch and it is a lot less likely 2 screw up

hope this helps

I haven't tried this yet, but I've looked around, and I'm planning on playing pokemon, but I hate the starters. What I want to do is to replace my starter with another pokemon using pokesav, not really on giving myself a uer level 100 poke with max stats that will obey. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to replace my starter perhaps with another pokemon, and have it obey all the time without the badges like starter pokemon do. From what I understand, all I have to do is make sure the secret id, regular id, sex, and OT name are all the same as my character for this to happen. Is this correct?
EDIT: Just tried it, and it worked.

There is no 0.39b. You must be talking about 0.38b.

The latest is 0.39 and has been for three million years.

Im having a problem with my pokemon diamond game. I did everythign it says and I still have a problem. When I play the newly edited game on the No$gba I get as far as the part where it says to push the start button and then it says your save file has been erased because its corrupted or something. Then it makes me restart.

So whats the problem here? And oh yea, how come my pokesav doesnt translate everythign when I upload the converted file?

[death1234]

is there a way to make a banned pokemon unbanned for the battle tower using pokesav?

 

[Zonix]

Is it possible to make all towns available instead of visiting them first?

 

[dekraan]

Hello everyone!

Maybe my reply is late, and I am sure it is very beginner, but still: I've tried editing my savegame for a rom on the pc, but after I've edited it, and I start the game, it's just not there anymore.

I've just downloaded PokeSav, loaded my game from Battery, but... I don't think it is working. What could I be doing wrong? my name, my opponents name, begin date, time, place etc... just isn't there! How can I fix this??

when I start my game, after saving and editing (i think), I just get the talk from the professor when starting the game... thats not good!

Hope that you can help!

I'm new here but i have something i just wanted to add about hidden values. I still havn't found anywhere that has worked out what they do but i think i worked part of it out. I've been breeding using parents which both have full perfect 31 ivs and all hidden values as 00. Statistically talking i should be getting pokemon bred with a 31 iv in any stat at roughly equivalent rates, ie i get 31 iv in defense as often as 31 iv in special attack, etc. After breeding about 30 pokemon i noticed something i still havn't got a single pokemon with a 31 iv in HP, and about 80% of the pokemon i bred have 31 iv's in special attack. So my guess is the hidden hex values of pokemon may be used as part of the random number generation system in game where it references them to help determine the outcome. If this is the case i would expect that all my pokemon i breed with having 00 hidden values would skew the random spread of IV's i get when breeding pokemon.

Used to get that with no$gba and gameshark. You'll want to backup your save from a true cartridge or linker. no$gba seems to have a unique save format, and I've never gotten it to correctly to convert.
