How did you get Sam's Practice Deck out of there?  I know it's in the data (though never actually fully checkable in-game), but I have no clue how to read data from such things.  If you can help with this, pop me a message on our Discord and teach me so I can try it with a memory scan on a practice deck (one we already have data for).  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 00:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

::Hoo, boy... where do I begin with this, Cyclone? See, a year or two ago, I had this odd fascination to find out what exactly the NPCs' decks were composed of, y'see. Of course, there's no way I did that all on my own with mere guesswork. What I did was an English translated ROM of Pokémon Card GB2, played that with a VBA (VisualBoy Advance Emulator), looked at the memory of the ROM with a built-in memory viewer, had some help from the Data Crystal pages in finding the offsets of what is in an opponent's deck, that kind of stuff, translated the hexes to the cards (e.g. Hex 011 is for [[Dark Ivysaur (Best of Game 6)|Dark Ivysaur]], and that's how I know what Sam contained in his deck.
You're the first person to ask me about how I got my info in the technical details...
If you'd like to try this out for yourself, this page will help you:
