::I mean in general cases. From the description, Synchronize affect wild pokemon's nature in Emerald onwards (R/S version is before Emerald). I know this since I've looked at the code (and IMO, this is the reason why Gameshark / Action Replay for modifying Pokemon's nature exists).--[[User:Q-orca|Q-orca]] ([[User talk:Q-orca|talk]]) 08:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

:::Well, [[Pokémon data structure in Generation III|as far as we've heard]], the game does not specifically store the Pokemon's Nature anywhere, only its PV, so in that sense it's very true that Nature is determined by the PV. This is really splitting hairs, but I think you can mark a difference: the game decides which Nature it will accept, but the PV is still what determines whether the Pokemon's Nature will be what the game is looking for. You can make an analogy to a person going out and looking for someone with a certain eye color; in the end, the person's eye color is determined by their genes, not the searcher.
