==Wallpaper==
The Wallpaper section here states that additional wallpaper can be unlocked by matching one number at the Pokémon Lottery. I thought the type of wallpaper unlocked there was for the dress-up room at Jubilife TV, not the Storage System. Or are wallpapers unlocked for both through the lottery? [[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 14:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
:No, that is just contest backgrounds. Section removed. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 10:34, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
==Hajime = [[Poke Dude]]?==
-shrug- They look so much alike. Maybe he's the same person? [[User:Fudgenuggets|Fudgenuggets]] 17:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== Japanese Storage System ==

In the Japanese Red/Green Versions, there are only 8 boxes, but each can hold 30 Pokémon (hnlike the American Red/Blue, where there are 12 boxes, and each can hold 20 Pokémon). [[User:Krisi|Krisi]] 20:07, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== A Primo Question ==

If the game's method of processing the phrases for Primo is unknown, how was it possible to creat a working phrase generater?--'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 16:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

== Black/White Additional Wallpapers ==

Does anyone know how the last 4 additional wallpapers are unlocked in Black/White ----[[User:FLAMER|Flamer]] ''([[User talk:FLAMER|talk]])'' 14:46, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== FireRed+LeafGreen ==

How many boxes are in FireRed and LeafGreen? -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 15:18, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

There are 14 (420 spaces), just like it says in the article. [[User:Nepse|Nepse]] ([[User talk:Nepse|talk]]) 15:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

:My problem was just that it doesn't say the box number in the FireRed and LeafGreen part, though I now understand that it just hadn't changed amount of boxes from Ruby and Sapphire. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 01:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

== High Resolution Wallpapers ==

Does anyone have high resolution rips of the box wallpapers from Black / White and Black 2 / White 2? I would like them for a programming project. [[User:codemonkey85|codemonkey85]] 15:30, 04 May 2013 (EST)

Is the encryption of the data structure the reason why saving a game in Generation IV takes so ridiculously long compared to other games? --[[User:Blaziken257|'''Blaz''']][[User talk:Blaziken257|'''iken''']][[Special:Contributions/Blaziken257|'''257''']] 07:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Probably. Furthermore, the save takes even longer than normal when it has to encrypt all of the Pokémon in the PC storage system, which is why sometimes you get the "Saving a lot of data" message (if you go into the PC and make any changes). --[[User:Codemonkey85|Codemonkey85]], 16:45, 11 March 2010 (EST)

== Evolving ==

I believe that one 'unknown' value in the data structure has to be at what two levels the Pokémon evolved, which would probably account for 2 bytes. This is because, when going to a move tutor, they will only offer moves that the Pokémon had a chance to learn in their evolution growth pattern. These two values are important for this, as they dictate what moves can be tutored.

It looks like it would be the 0x42-0x43 segment in Block B to me. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 01:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

---

I was under the impression that the Move Tutor offered only moves that the exact species of Pokémon you are trying to tutor could learn, leaving out the pre-evolution's exclusive moves. Also, only one byte would be needed for this data anyway.

I'll take a look at some of my Pokémon sometime and see if I can corroborate this possibility, at any rate. --[[User:Codemonkey85|Codemonkey85]] - 23:14, 5 May 2010 (EST)

Characteristic

2009-09-04T03:38:03Z

Codemonkey85: /* Ties */

'''Characteristics''' are a feature in the Pokémon games, introduced in [[Generation IV]]. A Pokémon's characteristic indicates which stat contains a [[Pokémon]]'s highest [[IV]]. It is displayed on the Pokémon's profile screen where its [[nature]], date met, place met, and berry flavor preference are shown.

A Pokémon's characteristic is determined by the remainder of its highest IV divided by 5 (known as {{wp|modulo operation}} in programming). Since it is built this way, Pokémon transferred from the {{pkmn|games}} of [[Generation III]] via [[Pal Park]] have a characteristic without their stats being changed.

==List of characteristics==

| style="background:#{{special defense color light}}" | Somewhat stubborn
| style="background:#{{speed color light}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | Quick to flee
|}

Note that having a certain characteristic does not necessarily imply that the highest possible value for an IV is present. A Pokémon with an "Alert to sounds" characteristic could have a 6 in Speed (and thus very low IVs across all of its stats since none could be higher than 6) instead of a 31 in Speed.

==Examples==
A {{p|Mudkip}} has the following IVs:

| style="background:#{{special defense color light}}" | 24
| style="background:#{{speed color light}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | 27
|}
Since its highest IV is 29 in Special Attack, its characteristic will be "Very finicky."

A {{p|Ditto}} has the following IVs:

{| align="center" style="background: #999; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #cdcdcd"
|-
! width="14.28%" style="background:#{{hp color}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;" | {{color|{{HP color dark}}|HP}}

| style="background:#{{attack color light}}" | 0
| style="background:#{{defense color light}}" | 0
| style="background:#{{special attack color light}}" | 10
| style="background:#{{special defense color light}}" | 17
| style="background:#{{speed color light}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | 10
|}
Since its highest IV is 17 in Special Defense, its characteristic will be "Strongly defiant."

==Ties==
In the event of a tie in highest IVs, the IV that determines the Pokémon's Characteristic is decided in the following manner:

Start with the Pokémon's [[Personality value]] Mod 6. The result is an index number of a stat in this order: HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense. In the event of a tie in IVs, the first IV checked is the IV corresponding to that index number. If that IV is not part of the tie, the game moves on to the next index number in the aforementioned order. If it goes past 5 (Special Defense), it wraps around back to 0 (HP). When the game finds an IV that is part of the tie, that is the IV that will determine the Characteristic displayed.

What happens with the same IVs in multiple stats? My Houndour has IVs of 31 in both HP and Special Attack, but it's got the Mischievous characteristic. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

:If I remember correctly from Smogon's breeding guide, it seems random, and no-one has been able to figure out a pattern for multiple-31-IV Pokémon. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 06:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

::Would anyone care to help me figure this out? I'd really like to know how ties in highest IVs are handled, because I am writing a program to view (and soon edit) Pokémon DS save files, and I am aiming for 100% accuracy.

::I'm not so great at discerning mathematical patterns in binary files, but it seems to me that if we take a "control" Pokémon and iterate through different values for the PID and IVs (leaving everything else alone), we might spot a pattern. My guess is the PID is at the core of this whole thing.

::Either way, even if the number is selected at random, since every game that views the Pokémon agrees on the Characteristic, it has to be stored [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_data_structure_in_the_DS somewhere in the Pokémon data]. So it would be neat to find that as well. [[User:Codemonkey85|Codemonkey85]] 09:45, 19 May 2009 (EST)

Guys, I figured it out. Take the PID Mod 6, and that gives you the index number of a stat in this order: HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense. In the event of a tie in IVs, the first IV checked is the result of the PID Mod 6. If that IV is not part of the tie, it moves on to the next index number in the aforementioned order. If it goes past 5 (Special Defense), it wraps around back to 0 (HP). When it finds an IV that is part of the tie, that is the IV that will determine the Characteristic displayed. --[[User:Codemonkey85|Codemonkey85]] 15:15, 11 June 2009 (EST)
:Should this be on the page? [[User:Lnodiv|Lnodiv]] 11:25, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
::Most likely, but I never got around to adding it. I guess I could do that now. --[[User:Codemonkey85|Codemonkey85]] 23:27, 03 September 2009 (EST)

Trainer ID number

Codemonkey85: /* Secret ID */

[[Image:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Charmander}}'s trainer's ID number is '''57760'''.]]
A [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s '''ID number''' is a five-digit number that is assigned to a Trainer when they begin their Pokémon journey. It is used, in conjunction with the [[Original trainer|Trainer's name]] and gender, to identify whether or not the Pokémon is an [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}. The highest possible ID number in any game is 65535.

==Special ID numbers==
Sometimes, there are special ID numbers assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. Also, for Pokémon not yet hatched from their {{pkmn|egg}}s, the ID ????? is used. It will turn into the ID number of the trainer who hatches the Pokémon. It is also used for [[Purification|unpurified]] [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once purified, the ID number will change to that of the Trainer who [[Snagging|snagged]] it.

For a list of special ID numbers, see [[List of notable ID numbers]].

==Secret ID==
In the games, there is a second, secret ID number, different from the visible one. This number exists purely to make sure that even if two Trainers share the ''exact same'' name and gender and the ''exact same'' Trainer ID number, the game will still recognize their Pokémon as coming from different Trainers. Usually, this number cannot be viewed; however, certain [[Cheating|cheats]] can be used to view it, many using [[Pokésav]] and [[Action Replay]]. It also comes into play along with the normal ID number and the [[personality value]] in determining if a Pokémon is {{shiny2}}. If two different trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]], identical ID numbers and identical hidden ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 shot if the names do not differ), they will be able to change the nickname of each other's Pokémon if traded.
