Exploring Pokemon Save Files

[@FOES-YT]

Finding a copy with an actual save file that has completed the game with tons of Pokémon is a rare goldmine sometimes

[@rickytickybobbywobbin7430]

I’ve bought at least one copy of every game from gen 5 back. Only found one that wasn’t cheated and had good stuff, and it was a 2011 event genesect. I don’t expect to be that lucky again. Probably why I still haven’t seen a shiny yet

[@ClaerisGames]

I own a game store and our policy is to swap batteries in every game that has them, as they come in. We also do it for customers for a fee. I guarantee those blues were just a previous seller testing after a swap. What I usually do is set the text speed to fast first thing, mash A, choose default names or just AAAAA and hit start, get to the bedroom and save and shut it off. If anything, I'm just surprised that they both walked to that one square lol, I usually don't even move. Also, a little hard to tell because it was on screen so shortly and moving so much, but I'm pretty sure that Diamond was a fake. I'd have to see it better to tell though.

[@ImmanuelPatton]

Do you guys allow people to check the Pokémon games files before buying it or nah ? I feel I know the answer but doesn’t hurt to ask

[@ivanbluecool]

Honestly kinda disappointing to see most was just early in the game. I thought we were gonna see some hard work in the files overall but best guess is a hard worker would keep his game rather than sell it

[@Lucifronz]

Or, more than likely, they restarted their save and lost interest fast. You only get one save slot. If you want to play again without the technical know-how, you have to sacrifice your save completely.

[@ivanbluecool]

@@Lucifronz honestly it feels more like a test drive file where you play long enough to check the status of the game to see if it works. Possibly one game in a bunch and if one works they ship it out and if not then it get checked over

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

pretty much that that’s basically how I feel I might have a lot of Pokémon games but when I was younger my Parents threw a lot of stuff away especially after my basement room got flooded once but I should have any of my Gen 3 or later games but haven’t been able to find many of my Gen 3 collection

A couple of years ago I bought a used Platinum. The previous owner must have used a game shark, as it had master balls, sacred ash, and a level 100 Arceus. Needless to say I had fun using their save file!

[@Intrasport]

Its possible at that time they used a dns server to cheat in specific pokemon and items. Significantly more common than an action replay. I think some of these servers can still be simulated on roms!

[@ChicagoMel23]

I once got White from the library and they had a lot of DNS stuff. If the user is Hiro or Shiro it’s a giveaway it’s that exploit. It was kinda fun.

[@curlyboicyrus]

I bought my black file used, and I didn’t know that when I bought it- but when I opened the game up it had a Continue, and this dude who owned it before me had 100% completed the game, and had SEVERAL LEGENDARIES in his box, as well as a lot of actual Pokémon. It was really cool knowing that this game I was playing had been played by at least one other before me who definitely cherished their game before selling it.

On the subject though, we just took in a copy of Pearl last week that had 380 hours of gametime, a dex over 400, all the legendaries, almost all the promo pokes, and from what I could tell it all seemed legitimately obtained. No shinies either, so that lends credence to that someone made a ton of effort on this file rather than cheating. Jacob, if you're out there, know that your hard-earned pokes are now sitting safe and snug in my Pokemon Home lol

[@Mr_Ozone]

I remember when I bought Pokemon Pearl off Ebay last year there was a huge save file on it. They completed the game, the Pokedex, everything. All of their Pokemon were from 2007, clearly a childhood cartridge (with over 248 hours), and even had a shiny Ledian in there. I was so awed that somebody would sell their childhood Pokemon game like this with all of their data still on it, I transferred as many Pokemon and items as I could to my Diamond out of respect. LEE, whoever you were, wherever you are, all your Pokemon are safe and sound and I have no plans to get rid of them, especially that special Ledian and that champion team you loved so much.

[@animanga9597]

yeah, reminds me of when diamond and pearl first came out and i had about 1,000 hours of emerald gameplay transferred to it. i was eyeing a trade with my friend who had a game i wanted and they wanted my emerald version. anyway i traded the game after about a whole weekend of transferring data to pearl, even skipped a couple of outback dinners because i was soo dedicated to preserving my childhood to the new cartridge. i had so many pokemon from gen 1 to 4 saved on pearl and almost all legendary pokemon, a shiny salamance, flygon, aggron and had the regis from doing that horrible event, as well as deoxys from the original gamestop special code. so many good times on one cartridge and always locked it away in my leather game case that was inside my game bag at home. except for one day when i left it out becuase i was in a rush going to my schools open house night. i came back and my mom had warned me shed clean up my junk off the floor soon. i just didnt think it would be that night. my pearl cartridge was one of the "junk" pile on the floor she threw away. i went dumpster diving but could never find it. but i got over it and my mom bought me another pearl, then when soul silver and heart gold came out( i started on gen 2) i had to have it since it was a better version of gen 2. i still have it to this day and have way more hours and pokemon on it than i ever did on my old emerald copy. sorry for the ramble lol.

[@Mr_Ozone]

@@animanga9597 That's tragic, I know too many stories of parents throwing away childhood pokemon games. Luckily that never happened to me nor was I ever stupid enough to trade them in either. I still have pokemon from my original Emerald save from 2005 in my Diamond copy. Idk how I would cope with losing such a huge chunk of my childhood memories like that, but at least you still have one of your old gen 4 games. Unfortunately I didn't know what a move deleter was when I was 8 so I couldn't transfer my first Blaziken, Rayquaza, etc. to my Diamond copy cause they had hm's.

I work for a second hand media/games company and we constantly have copies of Pokemon games come in and it's always fun having a look at people's save games. Some of the more notable ones have been full game completions with hundreds of hours played and what appear to be legit shiny Pokemon. It's always bittersweet as you know that you're holding hundreds of hours of someone else's enjoyment in your hands. It's nice knowing that someone else will end up enjoying that game though.

We know the book of Revelation was circulating in the 1st century AD so we can conclude that 1) God is real and can tell the future of make it happen 2) The governments, leaders, nations etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish this roadmap set in place by the Israelites or 3) Both of the above. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and know the truth. Call on the name of Jesus, pray for Him to intervene in your life and look for the motion of His hand. Listen, as God speaks in many ways.

My first pokemon game was fire red and then I went back and played Blue and Gold. Of these Gold was my favorite early game for the longest time. From gen 1 to as late as Gen 5 I didnt really completely understand how types worked and I would build my team on the first 3 routes and though I tried to keep up on training my team, I always gave up on training everyone and used my top 3 strongest pokemon with me always defaulting to my starter. Needless to say I often found myself stonewalled at a gym leader or the elite 4 and rather than training my team to try to overcome the obstacle I started a new game and hoped my luck would be better in the new run. My first pokemon game I ever beat was Omega Ruby when I was 19. I always wondered how many new pokemon players just gave up at a gym leader or the elite 4 and how many powered through and beat it...

He left it before heading off to get the cut tm from the boat captain and he forgot he left it there and went on to beat the game and caught some other pokemon he wanted to train then he randomly remembered he left a pidgey in the day care and we all thought it was funny and tried to guess what lvl it could be since we were kids and never beat any pokemon game fast and so we chose a lvl and when he got it back it only went up 2 lvls and we were confused about it. He looked at its stats and the way the pidgey coloring looked was off. It seemed like it was a different color we knew about shinies which we called scaled from the red gyrados scale thing from silver version. But we knew shiny didn't exist in the old games and so we told him he should train it so it can evolve into a pidgeotto and we can see how it'll look with its new color. Thats where we saw the insane number of exp it needed to level up. I don't remember how much the level numbers are when you get a 100 lvl pokemon you know how it says its max exp it ever earned to reach that? It was that long BUT with one extra number and we were shocked. He tried but after a few days he was like he'll just keep it. I don't remember if we traded it over to silver to see if it followed its weird condition, but even to this day we laugh about it and how weird it was

Pokemon of note that I traded to my copy of Soul Silver include Infernape, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Latios (all with their specific held items), and some typical Sinnoh team Pokemon like Staraptor. I don't believe they cheated as there was nothing out of the ordinary.

There’s a copy of Yellow out there saved as Josh about halfway through the game that has a NidoKing in the line up that I played when I was younger. It wasn’t mine, I borrowed the game for a while and by now it’s probably been sold.

Sceptile was timid too. Good nature for it too.

I remember getting Pokémon oras and I got the game finished, their pokedex was complete and I transfer all their Pokémon to home. I also have their shiny mew.

[@FamilyStoriesInc]

I always watch videos like this to see if any of my missing games are being sold, I highly doubt it, those games probably got thrown out, but still, I wish I could see my Pokémon again. I lost Pearl, Soul Silver, Black, White 2, and I think I have the rest of my games. Also my sisters’ games, like Heart Gold, White, and Platinum. Even tho she doesn’t play Pokémon at all since HG, I’d love to see my sister’s legit shiny pidgeot she caught immediately named Goldy. Mostly I just miss my team members. Like Pearl, my first game, my first starter Empoleon, my Haunter that I didn’t know how to evolve, my naughty mischievous male Clefable named Ty that liked spicy food and clutched the raichu/gyarados double battle for me as a Cleffa… I also put TONS of love into my Black game, there were some hacked mons I got from trade tho lol……..

The music from pokemon trading card game gave me nostalgia

[@Hirochicken]

I've had to sadly sell most of my pokemon collection over the years just to survive. I hope whomever got my games after me enjoyed their pick of prime pokemon to snag before restarting the adventure.❤

[@Vestige98]

Bought a copy of SS and Platinum off ebay, SS had 105 hours with a legit completion of both regions. Platinum had 300 hours with multiple shiny Pokemon and plenty of hacked in ones. Deleted the SS save, kinda felt bad but dude completed what he wanted to do.

I bought a used copy of Pokémon Emerald way back for 20 bucks and got really lucky that it had Lugia, (multiple clones),Ho-Oh, Latios, All the Regis, Feraligtr, Typhlosion, and idk how many others. Of course I traded them to my copy of Leaf Green and started a new file. Best 20 dollars spent regardless if my dad thought it was a waste of money.

The reason the ds game probably is failing is because of the way Nintendo decided to store the game files, instead of saving it on similar chips like on gba games, they decided to store them on another type of chip that stores a very small amount of electricity to keep the data semi active. But over time of the games not being played that little bit of stored power fades and data just vanishes.
