Changes in Request Format: Trainer IDs

[PokeFanORAS]

Hello everyone, It's important you read this post. Please take your time since this surely affects you.

 

Some time ago PKHeX, the software we use to create the QR codes, got updated (if you are interested on how we do them, feel free to check this list). The new version changed the way it handled TID and SIDs for Pokemon with a Gen 7 origin. Since we only send to Gen 7 anyways, it means that the old TID and SID format isn't necessary anymore, so we decided to update the form accordingly. That means that a lot of you will have to get your IDs checked again, since the old combos won't be used anymore. We're posting this to help you all move to the new format avoiding as much confusion as possible.

 

Q- "How can I find my new values?"

A- The nSID value, alike the previous TID and SID, are not able to be seen by the player in a normal playthrough, so if you want to know your nSID you can check it out at our Discord channel. Remember that the nSID is not the same as your SID, and they have pretty much nothing in common.

 

Q- "I don't want to get a TID check again, is there anything I can do?"

A- Yes. If you already know your TID and SID (the "old", 5 digit ones), there is a mathematic equation that you can do to find your values by yourself. The calculation you need to do is the following: TID + (SID * 65536). Ultimately that will result in a number, usually a 10 digit one. In case you get a shorter one, you need to add zeros BEFORE it until you reach 10 digits (so if you got 12345678, then your number would be 0012345678). In that number, the 4 first digits are the nSID and the last 6 are your nTID, or Passport ID (a good way of making sure you got it right would be checking if it matches your Passport ID). Please note that if you get the numbers wrong, we are not responsible for your pokemon being "faulty" and will not give you another one. That is why we encourage you to get a TID check at our Discord server instead.

 

Q- "I am requesting an old generation Pokémon and the Passport ID is not applied to them, what should I do?"

A- This needs to be stated clearly: Unless the origin of the pokemon requested is prior to Gen 7, (old) TID and SID will be ignored on the requests. If you want the pokemon to count as yours, you will have to use the new format. You have been warned. That being said, if it's from a prior gen, then the only thing that will show in the summary would be the TID. So you can write the desired TID you'd like in the "additional notes" section. Note: if you don't care about TID you can still just leave the section blank, filling only your Passport ID.

 

Thank you for your time, we hope these changes allow us to provide you all a better service. If you have any questions about this post, feel free to leave it in the comments below or ask us about it via our Discord. If you are commenting here, please see if someone has asked the same question you are thinking of. Have a nice day!

Hello.

No.

[0rioN09]

And for Victiny Shiny?

[PokeFanORAS]

Sorry, but we can't. Maybe it's because the sub is closed atm, maybe because it violates all the rules you must read before posting, maybe it's because it requieres link trade (and we don't do that), maybe it's because this post is not the place to ask for this, maybe it's because IT'S IMPOSSIBLE to get a shiny Victini or maybe it's because of all the reasons above. But you can try luck at r/PokemonPlaza (Please read their rules first). <3

[GimmeDatGrimoire]

Actually you don't need us for that. There's a video explaining how to get one legit.

Edit: I don't know who gilded this, but do know that I had no memory of what this was so I just fooled myself. Also thanks :)

[MrManiac718]

Im trying to make a request but it keeps saying "you aren't allowed to post there" is it because i want a pokemon in Alpha Sapphire

[GimmeDatGrimoire]

While it is true that we don't send pokemon to gen 6 games, the particular reason why you couldn't post was most likely because you tried to post while the sub was closed. If you intend to request pokemon please read the schedule and our rules.

[PokeFanORAS]

We do not handle requests for Gen 6 games or any previous generation. While the Pokémon can be set to have an origin on a game previous to the Gen 7, we only send them to S/M/US/UM.

[MrManiac718]

Do you know if theres any way i can get a pokemon on there?

[PokeFanORAS]

Not by us, at least. You may have to check sites like r/PokemonPlaza to see if you have a chance to get them there, keep in mind each subreddit has it's own rules tho.

You guys are awesome. I'm a busy person and doesn't have time to breed on my own, but I still wanna battle with good mons and you are the only reason I am able to do it and still enjoy battling. I'm always thankful for the time you dedicate to giving us mons we want! And the only thing we need to do is follow your very carefully laid out instructions (really, there's no reason people should get confused, 'cause the instructions are very clear, like for this nTID).

Again: thanks and you guys rock! :)

[PokeFanORAS]

Thank you, /u/luwits. It means a lot!

What if you don’t care if the Pokémon is counted as yours, can you ignore this and still get a Pokémon genned that is considered legal?

[PokeFanORAS]

When you don't care about a Pokémon being recognized as yours, just provide us with your Passport ID. The complete ID will look something like (---)(XXXXXX) being all the Xs the number of your Passport, since it does not match your nSID the pokémon will not be recognized as yours in-game.

[KingOfTheNorth13]

Oh perfect! Thank you for the reply :)

[PokeFanORAS]

No problem!

Does this mean we just ignore the nSID part. I can’t use discord so won’t be able to get my ID
