There must be some hex/dec value that could make this unique pikachu appear again, because without the hex/dec value this pikachu could never have appeared. I know that you probably (most likely not) have not figured this code out… i just would like to ask someone who is possibly more (once again most likely…) smarter than i.' "

Also on the yellow
version, setting it [extra species byte] to Pikachu (quantifier digits: 54) will cause your pok?mon
to make all the cute Pikachu sounds.

In Pokemon RBY, there is a second specie byte for the Pokemon's cry, so in Pokemon Yellow, there is a hex for the pika sounds, like it says in the Gameshark code guide.

The code, though, is the same code for a normal pikachu. It's just that, in Yellow, pikachu makes the cute noises.

But if you trade a Pikachu from another game onto Yellow, it makes the normal Pikachu cry. I believe the trigger is having a Pikachu with your ID No.

Could be. I suppose I could do an experiment or something.

*goes to Yellow rom and activates gameshark code*

0154D7CF does make Pikachu appear. I don't have Pikachu with me at the moment, so there's not one following me. It appears - there's a glitchy block, and it makes the regular Pikachu sound. I throw a Master Ball (I need these for Melchior) at it, it asks me to name it, etc etc, and when I exit out of battle, I have Pikachu following me. On the stats page it goes "Pikachu" (not audible through the emulator, but it's there).

So the game doesn't check for "The" Pikachu, I think it just checks for one with your ID no. like ACE said.
