I don't know the specific details, but apparently now Spinda's spots, Wurmple's evolution, and the characteristic in the case of a tie are determined by the Pokémon's "encryption constant" instead of its personality value. From what I've read, the encryption constant is equal to the PID for Pokémon from previous generations, so there's no backwards compatibility issues. If someone with more knowledge could address this in this article (and maybe make an article for the "encryption constant", since it seems to determine more things in Gen VI than PID does), that would be appreciated. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC) | I don't know the specific details, but apparently now Spinda's spots, Wurmple's evolution, and the characteristic in the case of a tie are determined by the Pokémon's "encryption constant" instead of its personality value.

:Now that I look at it again, a separate article on the encryption constant will be/is too similar to this article. A better long-term solution might be to have an article about the Gen VI data structure instead.

::If the encryption constant substitutes perfectly for the PID where it's been implemented, then we could perhaps just redirect encryption constant here and add a bit of detail here. Outside of a few things the PID used to do (and, obviously, encrypting the Pokemon data structure), does the encryption constant do much else?
