Of course if you name the character wrong you end up with the wrong gendered name by mistake. I can’t remember if the glitch replaces the sprite but keeps the palette, or just replaces the palette though…

I mean aside from the Johto remakes on the gba roms, some of which are more based on HGSS than the originals

Fair enough but that’s basically why there’s more shit in newer games

…though it would be pretty cool if someone could remake the newer games IN the older games

Ah I see. Explorer mode. And with Paldea being open world there’s so much more opportunity to go off the path and explore

By now I assume she beaten the game?

That’s due to how the data structure works. The numbers for levels and for digits that possess some kind of Pokémon, move or item data, as well as character (letter/number/symbol) only go from 0-255 (00-FF) due to how many “bits” of data or some shit like that in the gbc

The gba increased this limit, to a Range of 0-65535 (0000-FFFF) for these things, and in all cases this includes unused glitchy data slots.

Data for stats like Hp, attack etc seems to operate differently though.

And ive realised that you’re probably not getting the entire picture because you yourself admit you really don’t have a head for numbers in the slightest

So no base stats but can still do other tests to see if they appear at levels unusual
For the area.

As an example, you’re not gonna be finding a level 7 or 13 on route 101 or victory road

And level 0s or 100s never appear in the wild

The problems only pop up really if you save in the void soooo probably safe to do if you keep that in mind

Yeah that’s probably easier on emulator

Tweaking might be the only way on physical hardware without an external cheat device

But if done right you can get to darkrai, Shaymin, I think Arceus…
