Well, if you do something like that with platinum, the game just feezes.

That game also seems pretty old, which could show how much technology has advanced.

How did technology advance? The object of making a game not to crash when an unexpected error occurs not the opposite. Anyways I was using a one line Sega Genesis Game Genie code which as we all know is not very potent in most cases. ;D

I think your code incompatibilities are just an issue of region codings, iirc.

I wasn't denying it wasn't but I also kind of had that figured out already. That game was heavily censored in the US so as a result a lot of the coding was changed. (even some beta levels present in the Japanese version don't exist in the US version. I have videos of those too.)
Seriously lets get back on topic though.

Maybe it stands for Pro Action Replay. Actually I'm not really sure but I have read on Bulbapedia that there are glitched up pokemon in the Wifi pokemon request thingy. You also can end up getting a prototype Key item being held by them. I think its the Medal Sack or whatever its called , I forgot the name. Most likely it is no ordinary Mew and is one that has glitched up properties of sorts. In other words the game sees it as a regular pokemon and it acts like one but at the same time it is abnormal in many other areas. That name leads to my suspicion you keep getting a glitched up pokemon. Check to see if its holding an item you never knew existed. If so then it is a glitched up pokemon.


Par is not holding any unusual items.


I'm glad I'm sticking to FR/LG, Ru/Sa/Em. There's too many things going on these days with the new games. Plus D/P/Pl, doesn't have that Pokemon feel to it anymore. I know there are codes for Platinum in the US, but in Japan, I don't know. They did create the games, so I guess they got codes, before others have. We don't get Platinum until May the 22nd. It's like I said, some codes, can mess up a game if it's for the wrong version. Say like you tried Pokemon Emerald codes, on Ruby/Sapphire, it wouldn't work or it might, and you'd get a decamark/bag egg that is far too unstable. It's like with me and Japanese Crystal, where I tried English codes, and all I got was endless text on a screen until my game crashed. So, this PAR Mew, or like Missing, said could be a cause, but if the code's are from Japan, and it might not work so well on an US-version copy of the game.


I'm not positive about that theory. Besides being untradable and under level 10, PAR functions like any other shiny Mew. I trained one up to level 32 without any strange occurrences. By the way, am I the only person to find the ID#12345 suspicious? The Mew I got from a Nintendo event has the ID#06930, which makes me think that PAR was independently hacked.

2) Waited
3) Got the shiny PAR Mew level 1

I kind of wonder if PAR does in fact mean Paralyzed. This reminds of "PSN" (Poisoned) the Butterfree in G/S/C, which, along with other similar pokemon, can appear during Game Link glitches. (Apparently it is a nameless Butterfree (or Pidgeot, as seen in my last test) that has the PSN status)

But why Paralyzed?

Speaking of Game link glitches I just realized something. I think I've finally made a connection to the whole Viridian Trainer House Glitch in GSC described originally on trsrockin.com. I can vouch for many of those stories as it actually did happen to me.

What you just said dawned on me. I've been searching for the white whale (figuratively speaking) in the wrong spot. I don't need to focus on Mystery Gift. My Moby Dick that has eluded me for years is finally making sense to me.

Here's what I think happens (can't test it without another GSC game and I don't know where my Crystal version is plus I'm scared of playing my Silver Version from fear of my internal Battery dying. Its close to dying. I can tell because the game crashes on a regular basis.)

Well before the shit involving the Trainer House happened to me, something rather odd happened during a link battle between my cousin and me. We were doing a link battle and we were fighting equally. The fight started off normally but then things started to get weird. He sent out a Butterfree. I asked him if he had one in his party and he said no. Then I saw that the HP meter was stretching off the screen and wrapping around like some HP meters did in Red and Blue following usage of the Cooltrainer move among others. I defeated the Butterfree and he sent out another Butterfree or something. (it happened so long ago I forget many of the actual events.) We ended up having to shut our games off. Interestingly, my cousin was fighting my party still during that whole battle until he finally got a Waiting… message. I too got that same message.

Upon going to Viridian's Trainer House for the first time I battled a Trainer who was Called PKMN Trainer    .  He had two pokemon: A level 0 Venonat and a Level 127 Pinsir. (Which interestingly, is Pinsir's Pokedex ID number) I actually beat them easily despite the Pinsir's level. My level 80 something Ho-oh mad mincemeat of them.

Sometime afterwards, my cousin and I dicided to go outside with our gameboys and have a  link battle. This time my cousin had a Nidoran Female EGG in his party during the match. Things started to get weird. He sent out the EGG to fight! It was a Nidoran Female using the EGG's color pallete and it was still named EGG. This isn't a joke either, I'm fucking serious! The strange thing was, both times our link cables never got disconnected as far as I can recall. (I do not remember what pokemon we were using for the most part, other than the oddities.)

I'd check into this theory but the reasons why I can't I've already stated. I'm not sure it could be replicated on an emulator in the same way though. I suggest trying to bring an EGG along with you during a link battle.

I believe you about the EGG. I have seen similar in Colosseum, when I used AR to bring an EGG into VS. Mode, and looked at it on the GBA in battle. (I couldn't bring it out, though.)
