Changelog:
18-4-11: guide made and quick edits.
19-4-11: Added help section
23-4-11: Added credits and corrected some stuff. Thanks DarkStriker!

For all those who:
-Do not understand pokégen
-Can't enter their hacked pokémon in random matchup
-want to transfer their old pokemon to black/white

Downloading Pokégen
You still need Pokégen?
You can download it HERE!
This is the version I used for this tutorial.

Opening Pokégen
Do what you do with any other file.
Double click it to open it!

Using Pokégen
This step is also for editing and fixing your pokemon.
if you follow these steps, you're pokémon is almost guaranteed to get through the anti-hacks check.
Creating a Pokémon
So, you want to create a pokémon from scratch?
Then you'll need a reliable source! Use Serebii.net or bulbapedia to get the pokemon info.

Main Page
First off, choose your pokémon.
For this guide, I'll be creating an Elgyem.
Look it up in the Species list and select it.

Now here comes the tricky part, you have to click F (Find) next to the PID box.
You'll come to this screen:

Now you probably want at least ONE of your IV values to be 31. for example, it's defense.
set all to 31, and make defense have = instead of -
set the rest in order of importance, but keep these on -, like this:

You also have to choose your nature here!
It doesn't matter which ability it gets: It will not conflict with the one you choose in the ability box
Now click Search. It should come up with a PID. click it and click OK
you now have your Pokémon ready...
now we have to do some other stuff.
Change your ability to one which the pokémon CAN have.
Check out your source, and find the ability in the ability box.
you may want to set the level too, so change it in the experience box.
Change 'Origin' to the game it was 'Caught'. Of course, a 5th generation pokemon can not be set to anything but Black/White, and is thus Illegal.

now we're done with the first page, so click the 'Met' Tab.

ABILITY NOTICE!
You can choose whatever ability the pokemon can normally have, including Dream world abilities.
it will not conflict with the PID!

Met Page
This page shouldn't be too hard.
the only thing you need to do, is set the location to where it's caught.
The level it was met.
IT HAS TO BE LEGAL DATA!
use your source for details on catch locations and levels it can be met.

If the Origin in the main page is NOT from Black/White, set Location to (pokeshifter)


STATS Page

now we're gonna change your EV value's.
I recommend to make all 85 if you don't know what they are though!
you can set all EV values to 255, but make sure the combined values don't go over 510!

There really is nothing else to do on this page, so go to the next tab.

ATTACKS Page

Set your attacks here. they have to be attacks it can normally learn!
If they aren't legal, you won't get online. refer to your source for the moves your pokemon can normally learn!

NOTE: while you can learn some moves in heartgold and soulsilver only, please make sure you set them to older games in the MET page. Nintendo's hack detectors check for region caught and compare it to attack.

OT/Misc Page
We're gonna make it look traded

In the ID boxes fill in: 23546 and in the right 16254
click Female
make trainer name Amanda.

This is what my pokegen pokemon always have, because it can't be wrong!
IF IT DOESN'T COUNT AS A LEGAL POKEMON, PM ME PLEASE!

Finishing!
Right click an open spot in your boxes, and click set.
the spot will have your pokemon, and the box will be blue.
Now save your file, and you're done! You have created a LEGAL pokemon!

Using Pokégen to transfer old pokemon to Black and White.

Open your old pokemon save file and your new one in 2 separate windows.
right click the pokemon you want to transfer, and select view data.
now save your pokemon under file by clicking save pokemon.

once you're done saving, put the pokemon files in the converter. it will convert to the black and white format.

now go to your other window and open your black/white save file.
click load again, but this time click [pokemon name].pkm
Now right click an empty box space and click set.
save your save file and repeat for all pokémon you want to transfer!

Contact me

still have any trouble? send your .pkm to [email protected] with your issue. I will help you with it.

Whew, this is finally done. thank you for reading this.
Please refer anyone who can't get their l33t haxxored pokemon online here, because this has already helped people to fix them and is almost guaranteed to work.

You should fix the poll, it forces you to lick something for the second option.

Also, thanks for this Tutorial I find it helpful for all the Pokgen noobs (OMG HOW DO I SAVE IT I CANT JUST CLICK LIKE IN POKESAV THIS SUCKS).

I know I didn't.
 
Added a contact section for those still having problems.

Please, do not add the email to MSN, I will reject, unless you LIEK EON POKEMANZ OR ZORUAZ
 
you don't do it in the PID screen, you have to go a bit further in the tutorial, you'll see a picture where you can CLEARLY see an ability box. find it there.
 
Ahhhh I was under the impression that, to be legal, the ability had to match the one set in the pid. (like Nidoking, if ability is 1 in pid you must have poison point, 2 = rivalry). I guess you learn something new every day

The pokemon transfered like that is not LEGAL. Pokemon that goes through PokeShift in-game get some of their hex value edited. If you just save ur .pkm file like that then they will end up being illegal
 
DarkStriker said:
EDIT:
You should know that the PID for Dreamworld is competely different. Meaning you will need another Ability guide for pokemon with dreamworld abilites. Or not....
The only difference is the fact that Dreamworld abilities overrides the PID meaning the PID doesnt affect the dreamworld ability. In short, dont worry about your PID having the correct ability for the Dreamworld ability.

So basically, I can pick any of those abilities in the PID screen and just select the Dream World ability in the ability box?
I'll just go fiddle around with some Pokémon I actually got from the Dream World to figure out how they work.

Yeah, just pick a ability it has(not the hidden ability), like Mienfoo have the ability Regenerator and Inner Focus. After the PID has been made for the ability Inner Focus/Regenerator just manually pick Mienfoo's Dreamworld ability(hidden ability) which in this case would be reckless.

I dunno about that. all my HG/SS pokemon work completely fine.
I can get online, so they do not count as hacked, therefore I'm referring to them as Legal pokemon.

sorry if this sounds confusing

snd I'll add the link to the transfer section as well

There is always those people that want it completely legal for the 5th gen. The reason why you bypass the legality checker so easy is because the 5th gen game legality checker doesnt check your pid or any of those hex values to see if it is real or not. They simply confirm the moves/location/ability. So creating a pokemon to bypass the legality checker is quite easy
