This page is beautiful. I was part way into cracking the data structure myself, having finally figured out the character set by making a Pokemon be named ABCDEEEE, and then searching the pattern in memory. I googled to see if anyone else had started documenting it, and I found the page for the 100-byte data structures! Anyways, how can you possible use this thing, with the damned "The save file is deleted" message? Easy: | This page is beautiful.

A consequence of the fact that the last 20 bytes are discarded when the poke is boxed means you can play with those without triggering the bad-egg problem in the game right away; realistically speaking if the checksum is computed based on the 80 byte value it can't possibly cover the 100-byte value as well, right? More to come... | |||
