    There was a period of time when I played VGC competitively (around 2011 or earlier) during which users couldn't mention that their device-cloned Pokémon were getting through tournament screenings. I was told something to the effect that any topic that could bring up 3rd party devices was not...

    Is there a very good, comprehensive guide to all of the details of the contests in BDSP? I haven't been able to find anything that really explains everything well.

    Thanks! Now, when you say "wipes the moveset" do you mean it literally removes moves? Because I have a Lugia that has held onto Psycho Boost + Featherdance since XD. If I have to delete those moves to enter Ranked Battles, I may just not try to get the Master Rank Ribbon.

    I haven't assembled a team to try the Gen 8 or Gen 9 Ranked Battle mode. What are the rules as far as Pokémon selection goes? Are you allowed one (or more) restricted Pokémon per team?

    Is there a good type of internet-accessible document or medium that I could use to list all the Pokémon I own, with sprites for the species and ribbons and such, for trading purposes? I have the old trade thread, but it's woefully outdated, and I don't think I should make a new one if I'm not...

    If I wanted to breed Shroomish in Gen 3 as a ribbon project but wanted it to have Poison Heal in Gen 4, I would have to breed it to have Ability 1 and would have to keep it as Shroomish for all of Gen 3, right? Also, is there a list detailing which abilities are Ability 0 versus Ability 1? I've...

    All right, I guess that wouldn't have to be so bad. I'd probably just have to RNG a perfect-IV Roselia in addition to a perfect-IV Chansey for breeding fodder.

    Sorry if I asked this already, as I can't remember: Gen 3 breeding question: Chansey and Blissey can breed with Ditto, but being female, they can't continue to hold onto egg moves -- right? I ask because if I wanted to get Aromatherapy onto a Gen 3 Chansey, I'd probably go Roselia (M) ->...

    Anyone have experience with Wishmaker Jirachi RNG using an emulator and a Lua script? I'm constantly getting a Jirachi Seed of FFFF (my target is 3D60), and no matter what time I save, I always get the same Jirachi when I measure its IVs: Quirky nature, Seed of 00000000. I know there must be...

    Very cool dude! I hope to read more soon. I always wondered about those two dudes that got dropped off the ship. Like y'all are in the middle of the ocean. At night. You guys know what happened to people in the water after the Titanic sank, yeah? Also, a warning: in the part of the game where...

    Anyone have experience getting a specific TID/SID combo for a Pokémon Colosseum file? I've done it before for XD, and on paper it looked like the process would be similar for both, but it has been much harder to get Colosseum's TID/SID combo than it was for XD. Basically, I'm doing what I did...

    Thanks! I knew a bit about the integrated mGBA but not all the details. I have the Lua Core version of Dolphin, which seems not to have mGBA in it, so I'll need to open my old Dolphin Pokémon XD save on a new Dolphin version. I'll also need to open my VBA-RR save in that mGBA, but every time...

    Does anybody here have experience linking a Pokémon game (like XD) on Dolphin to an Emerald or other game on VBA-RR or mGBA? I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. I'd prefer to link to VBA because that's what my file is on, and because I'm having difficulty making the save file I try to...

    Yes. Me too. What got me to include cloning when I said what I said was a notification on Reddit that a moderator from a certain community had to step down and dismiss himself from that community, because it became known that recent he had traded someone else's Pokémon that turned out to have...

    I haven't felt any moral qualm about emulating and using scripts since I began doing that with some games some time ago. Like cloning, it's something that has been supposed by some players to water down the Pokémon experience but that in my case actually enriches it so much so that it may be the...

    Thanks, I think Modest is a fine choice. I was resistant to it at first for some reason, just thinking of Bold or Timid, but now that I see in print, Modest sounds great. I'm using an emulator, so Lugia shouldn't be very hard to catch, but I'll have to faint it and defeat Greevil because I want...

    What are some good suggestions for a nature for the Lugia from XD: Gale of Darkness? It probably won't ever be used much in battle, but to make the best trophy of it I can, I'd like to have the best general nature I can get. EDIT: Also: Are Lugia, Houndour, and some other Shadow Pokémon not...

    Sorry to keep asking lmgtfy-tier questions, but I like to get it from y'all over other places on the internet: 1) Is the gender-specific color of the OT's name preserved in the transition from Crystal version to later games? It's not clear to me if there is any longer any gendered color in the...

    Thank you! I was aware of that but it is still good advice. It's no trouble if it takes a while. I'm pretty good at timing in Pokémon RNG abuse, so it shouldn't be too bad. I only need to clone a few dozen at most. As long as I can't accidentally make Celebi disappear forever on the first...

    Thinking about switching boxes and cutting off the save process shortly after the text finishes displaying. Just curious, but do VC Pokémon have the same OT and Pokéball they were caught in? Or, on the latter, do they just default to a plain Pokéball or something? I'd like to catch a Celebi in...
