Trainer ID number: Difference between revisions

In the games, there is a second, hidden ID number, different than the visible one. This number exists purely to make sure that even if two Trainers share the ''exact same'' name 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 [[cheat]]s can be used to view it, many using [[GameShark]]. It also comes into play along with the normal ID number and the [[personality value]] in determining a Pokémon's [[alternate coloration|shinyness]].
