I have Alpha Sapphire on n3ds 9.5 Gateway emunand (and there is nothing I want to eat at MacDonalds) so I used pkhex to import the wondercard file (.wc6) to get Hoopa.

Everything seems fine, talked to the blue lady at the PC and the guy gave me the bottle at the PM. But instead of showing 720, the pokedex number is "???."

Is this normal?

I'm curious how the OP did this. I'm sure a tutorial is just a google search away but sadly the laziness and apathy is kicking in.

Actually it was a little hard to find. I found a video of some dude (not another snot-knosed 12 year old with a blurry webcam or shaky tablet) with a Pikachu hat who walks you through the confusing GUI of pkhex.

Basically, you need a CFW/Gateway 3DS with your Pokemon Alpha installed on the emunand. (I have not messed with import/export save files to the cart, but it probably doesn't work with save data filer (SDF). )

Use SDF to export 11C5 under the USER tab.

Just take your SD card out of your 3ds and stick it in your PC. Before you even open pkhex, make a backup of your filer directory because pkhex will automatically find and open the save file (called "main") on the SD card.
btw, pkhex even works plug-n-play on wine under linux.

Once your save file is open, press the Wondercard button to open the wondercard dialog. Open your shiny new Hoopla(or whatever).wc6. Press the left arrow button ( the < button) to import the wondercard. It should appear in the list to the left.

Go to the SAVE tab and press the Export button.

Stick the SD back in your 3DS and use save data filer to import the file to the game. When you start the game, press the Mystery Gift button. Check your cards and he should be there.

I have only imported Hoopla and Shiny Bedlam. Rayquanza I'll get around to. There is a big rar file of all of them, but I only want the ones I could have conceivably really gotten. Importing Japanese and Korean Event Pokemon just wouldn't be cricket, LOL.

Wow thank you so much for the explanation. Really cool.

Happens when you have a Pokemon you haven't discovered in a section of the Dex you don't own. It's like owning a Mew as a starter. It won't show it's Dex# until you get the National Dex.

No they have all the correct info the blank region info/TID/SID/OT are ready to be filled in using mass editor I do 30 pokemon every day since it's for personal use until I release a fat pack. Putting all the correct info and making them bank safe is time consuming.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm reading several that do atm. x'D
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even it looks cool, i still hate smoking and i always hated smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They're seinen though.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But yeah, it also has to do with the fact that stuff are more sexualised

    now
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at seinen i am reading, the only one that shows nipples sometimes is Oversized Sextet
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Like, Urusei Yatsura, I love the manga and the original anime.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    In the original rumiko takahashi works, nudity was common
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i still havent read the manga. also surprisinly i like both the new and the old anime adaption.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Lum being topless and Ranma always topless when turning female wasn't sexual
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also the old anime adaption of Urusei Yatsura had more fanservice than the manga
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's one of the issues I have with ecchi stuff recently, it focuses too much on the sexual aspect, not the comedy effect.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The manga had it's fair share.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I mean, Lum was supposed to be a one time character
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    ecchi anime focusing too much at fanservice was always a thing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Rumiko Takahashi got so much fan email about the character that she brought her back in the manga, it was going to be completely different originally (with the alien of the week type).
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    There are different ways of fanservice
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    the first manga I bought, was Psychic Academy, when I was like 12?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That was good 2000s ecchi
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Great plot too
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    psychic academy. lol. it was meh even back then when i bought volume 1. also same author also made one of the manga adaptions of Escaflowne.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Pfffft!
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I have all the volumes.
    Skelletonike @ Skelletonike: I have all the volumes.
