Oh man... remember that checksum stuff?

Spent a couple hours today puzzling over this shit, and added up the checksum of a single data block. Not wanting to have to do the entire file just for a test run, I went with my standard method of pasting it over an existing save file and modifying the save numbers accordingly.

This time, I hit on a... breakthrough? It's better than just getting the standard "The save file has been deleted" message, but I wouldn't exactly call it an improvement.

I got this instead. While this would normally be a bad sign, this is a huge step from what I usually wind up with. So I proceeded.

It was around this time when I started to worry.

Well, it saved in my room... so far so good.

My room apparently isn't my room anymore?

Let's check out the start... menu...

Another good sign -- Pokemon seem to have transferred successfully.

Though clicking on "Pokedex" doesn't work.

All my items are here, too.

...I apparently got a sex-change operation. Somehow.

Checking the data structure reveals that I am in fact still entered in as female, so I have no idea why this is happening.

Whatever, let's talk to Mom. Hi Mom!

Mom is feeling chatty today, as she continues slowly saying my gibberish name for about two minutes.

At which point I reset the game.

A quit cheat code to let me access my PC on the spot reveals that the rest of my 'mons are doing fine, too.

Saved the game, but the menu didn't quite go away...

Then I visited the neighbour.

CLONES! I KNEW IT!

DON'T LIE, CLONE, I'M ONTO YOU! Wait, shouldn't she have a female sprite?

This shocking reveal of the truth caused zher to have a mental breakdown. Reset time!

Deeper investigation of my team reveals that not only are they still registered to She-Teri, bu that they are now soulless clones as well, devoid of any personality... this conspiracy goes deep.

They no longer recognise me. *sniff*

...Uh.

Uh.

Uh.

UH.

...No thank you. Zalgo's scion into the mortal realms would not like to change Pokemon.

After killing the next one, it started playing the happy "You caught a wild Pokemon!" music, even though there was still one more to go. We cheerfully beat the shit out of it.

And then were kicked back to the world map without so much as a penny to our name. How rude!

Checking our trainer card (which took an eternity to load) reveals that although my time and money transferred correctly (no, that's not a glitch), I no longer have an ID number, a name, or a Pokedex, and my gold status has been stripped from me. I am an unperson. GASP

It took a few minutes for it to flip. In the meantime, its sprite just sat there and jittered.

That worked, I guess... though my battle tower data seems to be gone now.

When I tried to exit out, the screen went black for several minutes and then kicked me to the title screen.

Spent another eternity saving...

Dad is just as long-winded as mom.

He finished his sentence eventually.

At least my paintings are still here.

At that point I got discouraged and turned the game off. Not sure what I did wrong, but it's clear that after all that effort I'm still at square one.

God, some people.

I'm not sure if those three posts were trolling or actual sockpuppet fetish-play.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Can't remember usernames or precise words, but both are gone now, and probably suspended.

Ew. I just got the filthy sock reference. As much as I love wordplay, that's just messed up. You gotta be trolling.
