The distribution machine was connected to a developer [[Gamecube]] and stored configurations, logs, and other information on a memory card. While shiny Pokémon could be configured, this was never used in Generation III. The devices distribution could was used as the [[Trainer ID]] starting with 1. If more than 65535 Pokémon were distributed without restarting or powering off the device, then the ID would overflow to 0.
