    Programming Pokémon Foundations (GenIV/V GTS, Battle Videos, more)

    The USB connector works if you have one. They require Windows XP/Vista and are pretty rare nowadays.

    Programming Pokémon Foundations (GenIV/V GTS, Battle Videos, more)

    Sadly, you can't. Action Replay forces the DSi into classic DS mode where WPA/WPA2 aren't supported. What you can do if you have a spare router is set up an unencrypted/WEP (they are effectively the same) access point with MAC filtering and firewall outgoing connections to a short list of IP...

    Programming Pokémon Foundations (GenIV/V GTS, Battle Videos, more)

    Direct trading and battling is handled by AltWFC, not this project. I will eventually provide an IV/legality checking service (sometime in the fall, maybe?), but probably not pkm extraction.

    Programming Pokémon Foundations (GenIV/V GTS, Battle Videos, more)

    Pokémon Foundations is the one and only feature-complete replacement GTS and Battle Video server for Generations IV and V following the Nintendo Wi-fi Connection closure. Connections are made through AltWFC. To connect, follow the instructions at their wiki. Please note that at this time...

    Foundations GTS now has battle video support.

    Foundations GTS is a fully functional replacement GTS for Generations IV and V. It can be accessed through the altWFC servers. http://foundations-gts.cloudapp.net/ If you have access to altwfc, you don't need to do anything new. Just pay a visit to the Global Link (PtHGSS) or WiFi corner...

    DS and Wii online services to be fully killed May 20th this year

    Sorry to bump but I have Generation V battle video crawling up. Go ahead and put your codes into it. It would of course be great if Pokécheck would share their gallery of Battle Videos but it's best to be on the safe side.

    DS and Wii online services to be fully killed May 20th this year

    My reputation precedes me! :D Mine works in basically the same way as IR-GTS and Pokecheck but actually implements the whole thing in an authentic manner instead of just enough to hack in Pokémon. It still needs the official server to authenticate but I plan on pairing it up with one of the...

    UI/Aesthetics + How We Would Fix it

    The box system slowed down a ton in HGSS and became extremely awkward to use. They've been slowly improving it since with each new game but it's still inferior in some ways. For starters, when you're moving around single Pokémon, in Platinum, if you place the Pokémon on top of another one, the...

    [on site] The Process of PID and IV Creation of Non-Bred Pokemon

    That's some really cool info you've got there! It would be nice to know how Synchronize calculations are done, and if they throw off the list of legitimate PIDs from your three Methods. Also, even if they can't yet be used to verify legitimacy, it would be nice to know the formulas for stat...

    A guide to making the most out of the GTS

    Something I do which may or may not be obvious is what I call the Stage and Gender Splits. Say you're looking for a shiny Drifblim. Instead of just having seven results to look at, you can get as many as 28 by doing a search for only males, then only females, and also by searching for Drifloon...

    Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    Shininess is calculated out of the Personality Value (also controls Nature, gender, and some other stuff) but also your Trainer IDs. Bitwise XOR the upper and lower 16 bits of the PV, XOR that with your trainer ID, then again with your hidden ID. If the result is less than 8, you have a shiny...

    Red Alert 2 (maybe Tib Sun) Fanboys/girls, ATTN:

    I'm a "classic" C&C (as in anything pre-Generals) nut, so I'd love to join in, but the timing isn't too convenient. I guess I'll go see if there's still any action on XWIS.

    Analysis of IV Distribution of resetted legendarys in Emerald

    This subject kind of finally convinced me to register here because it's of much interest to me. I've been attempting now and then to soft reset for shinies of the "gift" Pokémon (so starters, Game Corner pokes, legendaries, ...), and have been concerned that bad RNG seeding has been hampering my...
