Every pokémon has its game of birth registered as a hex number, from 0 to 255. There's Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, Fire Red and so on, one number for each game already released.Wait, what? How do you mean; can you elaborate on what that means and how you know this?
PokéBank's first hack check (back when only Japan had it) was as good as your grand-grandmother's eyesight. So, people used it to send Kalos-born pokémon to XY. How did they do that? They simply... gave them numbers higher than the last ones used (which I think was used for BW2). IIRC, it was "0x10" for X and "0x1A" for Y. People then realized the Kalos pentagon meant nothing and was mere redundancy; it only means the pokémon is from XY (or hacked, so welp).
Weirdly enough, however, is that four other numbers after 1A also gave the pentagon. After them, there were no more pentagons, so people speculated they would be for the next remakes, possibly Hoenn, and for the third games, possibly ZX/ZY.
And. Well. You know. Hoenn confirmed.
The location data has long, long been wiped (it was the moment you Pal Parked them), so I'm expecting something cute like "finally back home" instead.Anyone else wondering what location gen 3 Hoenn Pokemon (as in the original RSE) will get in their summary page? Still "from a faraway place" or will it be Hoenn?
