Welcome to Gaia! ::

POKEMON HATCHED FROM EGGS - 5TH GEN
STEP ONE: The Program

All right! It’s time to get to work. The very first thing you’re going to need is Pokegen of course.

Click to download Pokegen!

Now unzip and open! It should look like this:


And congrats, you’re now done with step one. XD

STEP TWO: The Main Tab, the basics.

At the beginning of each step from now on I will post a picture of a completed page then explain the process below. We’re gonna make us some Bidoof, I recommended making this Bidoof with me, but if you really don’t want the Bidoof, you can choose another Pokemon, just make sure you pay attention to the steps and adjust accordingly!



This is the main tab, probably the tab you’re going to be spending the majority of the time on.

Ignore the PID section. (Do not hit F)

Species is of course, what Pokemon you’re going to create, it always starts out with Abomasnow as the default as he is the first Pokemon alphabetically, choose Bidoof from the drop down menu, or you can simply just type in Bidoof in the box. If the box is highlighted red, it means you misspelled the Pokemon, or that Pokemon doesn’t exist.

Nickname is what you’re going to call your Pokemon. For example’s sake, I’m going to name this Bidoof Potato. You don’t need to bother with the black box that comes up, that’s like an on screen keyboard and if you don’t know where to look, you might use the incorrect font for you game. Just type it in to ease your worries. Since it’s a nickname, I have to checkmark the box next to the Nickname entry field. If you do not want a nickname, type in the Pokemon’s name into the nickname field, but do not hit the nickname box. It is required to have something in this box or else your Pokemon’s name when you spawn it will look something like BIDOOF??????? OI(!@)(!@ ????. Yeah, it will off your screen in your game too. Harmless glitch, but it’s not something we want to see. On that note, the maximum number of characters in a Pokemon nickname is 10. Anymore, and it will go off the screen when you spawn. For example, say I named this Bidoof, Teddy Roosevelt. That’s way more than 10 characters, it would show up in game as Teddy Roos??????? U329813???, again we don’t want that.

Experience and Level! Now this not very complicated at all, don’t insert anything into the experience box, rather go over to the L: box and type in whatever level you want this Bidoof to be at, Pokegen creates the appropriate amount of experience the Pokemon should have at this level, neat right?

Nature. Choose what nature you would like your Pokemon to be either from the drop down menu or simply type it into the box.

Held item: Choose what item you want the Pokemon to hold, or type in it. A few warnings though, if you choose a key item from 4th gen it will show up as a ???? on your Pokemon and you can’t remove it. Please choose an item that’s available in 5th gen. Speaking of Key Items, it should be noted that if you have a Pokemon hold the Garcidea flower, if you remove it, you cannot use it to turn Shaymin into it’s sky form. I found that out the hard way. Same goes for the Liberty Pass. It will not activate if you make a Pokemon hold it. I recommend never choosing a Key Item as a held item.

Happiness: Now unfortunately since we’re going to spawn this Pokemon in a rather odd way, the happiness will be reset no matter you do, so there’s no real point in typing anything here. Max happiness is 255, but again, it will be reset back to its base happiness when it spawns due to the way we spawn it.

Ability: The Pokemon's ability. Whoohoo. Type it in, or use the drop down menu. Right next to it there should be another dropdown menu where you can choose either 1 or 2.

This is where you have to do some outside research. I recommended using Serebii to look up your Pokemon. For a Pokemon that has more than one ability (not including Dream World) choosing ability one or two does matter. In the game’s programming it assigns a Pokemon’s ability to either one or two, and luckily Serebii has it in order. You’re looking for the area where the red circle is.


In this case Simple would be ability 1 and Unaware would be ability 2. Since we chose simple as Bidoof’s ability, we leave it at one. Make sure the abilities match! If they’re mismatched, the game will count them as illegal.

Form is only applied to Pokemon that have different forms such as Sawsbuck, Rotom, Shaymin, and so on, since Bidoof doesn’t have a form this doesn’t apply.

Country is where the game cart that created this Pokemon is from. To begin with, I really encourage you to set it to US/UK/AU, leave it as it is. Simply choosing Japan does not make the Pokemon Japanese as with the rest of the countries. Please refer to my other guide on how to make Pokemon from different countries. (coming soon)

Origin is what exact game the Pokemon came from, since we’re making a 5th gen Pokemon, be sure to always choose Black or White. Black2 and White2 can be used as well. I will be using Black for this example.

Shiny Leaf Used only for HG/SS 4th gen Pokemon. Leave it blank for 5th gen.

Gender/Shiny/Egg/Pkrs Checkmark here the gender you want your Pokemon and whether you want it shiny or not.

Egg will make your Pokemon be in an egg. Please do not select this option as eggs generated from Pokegen take a longer time than normal to hatch.

Pkrs is whether you want your Pokemon to have the disease. The first drop down menu is whether the Pokemon has the disease or not. Leaving it at 0 means it does not have Pkrs. 1-15 means it does. The second drop down menu decides how many days the Pokemon will be able to infect other Pokemon with the disease. 0 means it cannot infect other Pokemon and 1-15 will select that many days left the Pokemon will be able to infect others.

STEP 3: OT/Misc Tab

Now we jump over to this rather empty looking tab. It’s pretty much the most straight forward one of the bunch.



Here we type in our Trainer Name under OT, it can be anything as long as it’s under 10 characters. Type in the ID number which is any number between 0-6555 I believe. The other string of numbers next to it is the secret ID. Along with the ID number, every trainer has a secondary ID number that you cannot see in game, hence the name, secret ID. You can type in any number from 11-6555 if you don’t know your exact secret ID. The reason 0 is not used is because 0 is typically the secret ID of event Pokemon. Same with the number 10. Anything above that is good.

Male or Female does nothing but choose whether the trainer name is blue or red.

If you want Pokemon from Pokegen to appear to be yours, as in the game doesn't say the Pokemon was apparently traded, you need to put in your OT/ID/SID/Gender exactly how is in your game.

Extra bytes are only used for Dream World abilities. Place a 1 instead of the 0 if your Pokemon has a dream world ability. Be sure that your Dream world Pokemon has been released though, or else it will NOT be legal!

You can put any markers you want on your Pokemon.

Do not choose any ribbons as these are only used in 5th gen for events.


STEP 4: Met tab!

Well, this is an interesting tab in that it’s pretty much the same for all Pokemon hatched from eggs in 5th gen.

Location is always Day-Care Couple, not Day Care Couple G4, just Day Care Couple.

Hatched Pokemon must always come from a Pokeball.

Hatched Pokemon are “caught” at level 1. Be sure to always place a 1 here for hatched
Pokemon! This isn’t the level for hatched Pokemon, but rather the level they were encountered.

Date is the date the egg was received from the Day Care.

Encounter is always Egg/Pal Park/Event! Choose it from the drop down menu.

Check Mark the egg box and the location beneath is the location the egg hatched in, if you want this to be legal, choose a place that exists. If you notice some places have (2) at the end of it, this (2) is just a flag telling the game the Pokemon was hatched while being in someone else’s game through the entralink. I recommend not doing that and just going with the normal one without a (2) behind it.

Date is just when the egg hatched.

STEP 5: Stat Tab.


There’s going to be a lot of Don’t do this in this tab. There's a few ways to mess up here.

DO NOT CHOOSE MANUAL STATS…just don’t do it.

DO NOT CHOOSE CONTEST STATS. This is a 4th gen only thing.

Head over the IV Column and input your Pokemon's IVs. They go from 0-31. If you do not care about IVs just hit the Randomize IV button and it will fill the column for you.

At the bottom you will see characteristic and Hidden Power change as you mess with the IVs. Characteristic determines what your Pokemon's flavor text will be. For Example: Modest Nature, Likes to Run. "Likes to run" is the flavor text. It doesn't do anything, but you can mess around with the IVs until you get one you want. Hidden Power shows you what type and what base Power your Pokemon's hidden power will be. You can mess around with the IVs until you get one you want.

Now EVs. Like IVs, I will not go into an in depth explanation of this. I will just say they’re hidden
values that up your Pokemon’s stats. The maximum you can have in one stat is 255, and the maximum you can have in total is 510. If you don’t know about them, or simply don’t care, just can hit randomize EVs at the bottom and be done with this tab.

Here just type in your EVs, make sure it’s at or below 510. Anything over will raise a flag and make your Pokemon illegal.

I’m going to say it again 510 is the maximum TOTAL. Anything over will result in an ILLEGAL POKEMON.

STEP 6: Attacks


Here, simply choose your Pokemon’s attacks.The number on the side is how much PP it has, PP Ups…well those are self explanatory. Again Serebii is a great place to look at your Pokemon to see if it can learn the move or not. A few rules about this too.

Since it’s a 5th gen Pokemon, it CAN NOT have any 4TH GEN ONLY MOVES. If you try to give it one, it will pop up as illegal. The only legal moves are the ones it can learn in 5th gen.
Be wary of egg moves too. Serebii again helps a ton with making sure your Pokemon is legal. At the top of any given Pokedex page in serebii, you should see egg moves. If your Pokemon has multiple egg moves, make sure there is a theoretical “Father” that can learn all these moves and pass them on.

A good example of how this can go wrong is Ferrothorn. You might look at it and say, I want Spikes, Leech Seed, and Stealth Rock! But then when you make it, it comes up as illegal, what happened? Well the egg moves don’t match up. There’s no father that can give a Ferrothorn all 3 of those egg moves. By looking at Serebii’s Egg move page on Ferrothorn’s page, you can see, Cacturn can learn both Leech Seed and Spikes to pass on to Ferrothorn, but it can’t learn Stealth Rock. Torterra can learn both Stealth Rock and Leech Seed, but not Spikes. Crustle can learn Spikes and Stealth Rock, but not Leech Seed, therefore the combination of Spikes, Leech Seed, and Stealth Rock is not possible in game and is illegal. Do your research before making a Pokemon. It saves headaches in the long run. :3

STEP 7: Saving your Pokemon!

Now this is the last step before we move on to actually getting your Pokemon to you game. Under the File in Pokegen, you want to hit, Save Pokemon (from Tabs). Name it whatever you'd like and save it somewhere on your computer where you can easily access it. Now congrats you're done creating a Pokemon! Now to get it to your game.

How to do various other things with Pokegen

I put this near the bottom because I'd like you to know how to make an egg Pokemon first before doing any of the others. I'll only be showing you what's different when making other types of Pokemon if I don't mention it, assume the rest of the process is the same as egg Pokemon. 3nodding

WILD 5th GEN POKEMON! (Includes legends. :3) :




Pretty simple stuff here. As you can see, this is a Virizion. Make sure you get the location and level it was caught at correctly. Use Serebii or Bulbapedia for locations. The level here is not the level the Pokemon is at, but rather the level the Pokemon it was capture at. For example, this Virizion is at level 100, but was caught at level 42. Use any Pokeball to capture your Pokemon other than HG/SS only Pokeballs, Cherish, or Dream Balls.

Everything else is pretty much the same.

MAKE SURE WILD POKEMON DO NOT HAVE EGG MOVES OR 4TH GEN ONLY MOVES. THEY WILL SHOW UP AS ILLEGAL IF YOU DO.


DREAM WORLD ABILITY POKEMON:
STEP ONE: BE 1000% PERCENT SURE YOUR DW POKEMON HAS BEEN RELEASED

How do you do this?
Look on this page
http://www.serebii.net/games/hiddenabilityaccess.shtml

Is your Pokemon our one of it's evolutionary lines there? Yes? Go on. No? WAIT UNTIL IT'S RELEASED. IT WON'T BE LEGAL IF YOU MAKE IT ANYWAYS.

POKEMON WITH DREAM WORLD ABILITIES CAUGHT IN THE ENTRALINK FORREST:
These Pokemon CANNOT have egg moves. For DW Pokemon with Egg moves, read on and you will see how do it right after this. :3 Make sure these Pokemon DO NOT HAVE 4TH GEN ONLY MOVES as well. They cannot be shiny either.

Some Dream World Pokemon get special moves. If you want to see them go here. It's okay to have a Pokemon with these moves on them.

http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/dreamworldattacks.shtml

Note: These moves are not breedable. They're only available to Pokemon that came directly from the dream world.



The first step is the most obvious. On the Main Tab, type in your Pokemon's Dream World Ability. Swablu has been released, so it's okay to make an Altaria. Altaria's DW ability is Cloud Nine.


On the OT Tab in the Extra bytes section type in a 1 in the box. This tells the game to overwrite the Pokemon's ability with its Dream World ability, not hatched.



In the met tab, set location to Entree Forrest. Most Pokemon directly from the Dream World are caught at level 10. If you're unsure, it's better to look it up, but the majority are at level 10. The level caught at here is not the level of the Pokemon, it's the level the Pokemon was caught at.

You can choose any Pokeball to capture your Pokemon in except HG/SS only Pokeballs, such as Lure and Moon balls.


POKEMON WITH DREAM WORLD ABILITIES HATCHED:

Go to the OT/Misc tab and edit the extra byte section to read 1. Make sure your Pokemon are in a Pokeball and that they DO NOT HAVE 4th GEN ONLY MOVES. Do everything else as you normally would for hatched mons.

To make a Pokemon appear yours, as in not traded from anyone else, you need to make sure 4 things match up with the data in your game. Those 4 things include the Origin, ID, SID, and OT.



The origin must match up with the game you are going to transfer this Pokemon to. In this case, I own Pokemon Black, so for this Shroomish, I select Black.

If you set the origin to a 4th gen game, yet you are making this Pokemon for a 5th gen game, there is no way to make this Pokemon seem yours since well, in order to get a 4th gen Poke to a 5th gen game, you NEED to use the Poketransfer machine which trades the Pokemon over.

What you're basically saying there is that you have a Shroomish you caught in 4th gen, and transferred it over to 5th gen, even with the rest of the data is correct, the Pokemon will appear traded, since well, it came from a 4th gen game. When it comes to Pokemon with 4th gen only moves, trying to make it seem like you caught it in your 5th gen game will result in an illegal Pokemon.


The other 3 things you need to fill in correctly to make the Pokemon seem yours are the ID, SID, and OT.

Your ID can be found on any Pokemon you catch in game. Simply look at its summary, or look on your trainer card for your ID.

Your SID will be trickiest thing for you to find. It is a hidden ID that your cannot find in game. The only way to find this number would be to register and upload a Pokemon you caught in game to Pokecheck.org, find someone with an AR to find your SID for you, or use this math formula to find it. (Note: to use the formula you must have caught a wild shiny Pokemon in game, a hatched shiny won't work)


Your OT has to match yours in game. It has to match exactly, so if you have symbols, use the onscreen keyboard to find it.

If you've done all of the above correctly, it should stop saying the "Pokemon was apparently met at.." and count the Pokemon as yours.


The Alternate PID Method

Alternative title: I want to make a 4th gen Pokemon.

Remember that PID thing we didn’t touch before? Well now we’re going to use it. It is mandatory to do it in this order because the Pokemon’s IVs, Ability, and Gender depend on your ID and secret ID. This is basically the DNA of this Pokemon. If you do this step before doing the OT, the Pokemon will turn out to be illegal when spawned. This is probably the most complicated thing you'll ever do in Pokgen.



I will not explain IVs in depth here, so I’ll just say it’s like how good a Pokemon is in a certain stat, you generally want this to be high. The highest number you can put in here is 31.
The drop down menu allows you to be a bit for specific in your search. – is the default, it tells Pokegen to look for the closest match to your number. + means more than the number you put in, and = means you want that exact number. The 1 next to it you generally don’t have to touch. It just allows you to search a bit more if you’re not getting what you want. You can switch these around if Pokegen’s being stubborn.

If you checkmark hidden power, it will do the best it can it to find that certain hidden power, obviously you can have all 31 IVS and expect to get a different hidden power other than dark, so I recommend being a bit more lenient in IVs if you’re not patient.

You can finally choose the gender of your Pokemon here, if it’s a Pokemon that only has one gender, this really doesn’t matter, it will be that one gender no matter what.

Now for Ability, this is where you have to do some outside research. I recommended Serebii for this. For a Pokemon that has more than one ability (not including Dream World) choosing ability one or two does matter. In the game’s programming it assigns a Pokemon’s ability to either one or two, and luckily Serebii has it in order. You’re looking for the area where the red circle is.

In this case Simple would be ability 1 and Unaware would be ability 2. Since we chose simple as Bidoof’s ability, we leave it at one. Make sure the abilities match! If they’re mismatched, the game will count them as illegal. Note: In new versions of Pokegen, you can choose ability 1 or 2 right on the main tab next to ability. Now hit search!

If you followed along with me and put the exact same numbers as me for ID and Secret ID you should get the above.

Now select it and hit Ok! If you don’t like what you get or if you get a different ability number, or if you get nothing at all, try being less strict with your IVs. Like instead of hitting = on all of them, leave a few – on stats that don’t matter, or change some of the stats to be lower. Once you’ve done that, congrats! You’re through with the most difficult part of making a Pokemon.

At this point if you want to make your Pokemon shiny, head back to the OT Tab and hit, generate Shiny ID, the secret ID should change. Once you generate the shiny ID, go back to the PID thing and just hit search again, the same thing should pop up but under shiny it should say yes. Select it and there you go. Now when you spawn the Pokemon, it should be shiny!
