In small print at the bottom of Durin's C1, it says

When an Elemental Burst is used, Cycle of Enlightenment stacks will be refreshed

I've searched far and wide and can't find any clarifying discussion on how exactly this works, or really any discussion about it at all.

Does this mean that when anyone uses an Elemental Burst, every party member's stacks refresh (among those that can have stacks, not-Durin for Light form, and only Durin for Dark form)? Or does the party member using Q have to be able to have stacks, and it only refreshes their own personal stacks? Do you still get the refresh if you've expended all your stacks when you use Q (assuming you're still within that 20s of Du

A couple weeks ago I found a post here that mentioned offhand that the Probe Simulation on frontiernav.net had a few bugs that caused incorrect calculations with some interactions. This got me more curious about the actual interactions, so I ended up doing a bunch of testing and wrote a reference implementation, which I sent off to the frontiernav.net folks. They got it fixed on the site this past weekend, so with deeper knowledge of the interactions and a site where I could rapidly test layouts (cause it takes forever with the animations in-game), I tried my hand at actually making a decent layout.

These cheat codes allow you to evolve Pokemon that evolve on trade (including trade-with-item and trade-for-specific-pokemon) by instead simply leveling them up (trade-with-item Pokemon must still be holding their relevant item). Helpful for if you aren't able to trade for whatever reason.

Additionally, for the games where it's relevant, I included cheat codes to enable evolutions that are otherwise impossible due to missing game features.

#Gen 3 (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen)

###Notes

• In FireRed and LeafGreen, certain trade evolutions are locked behind obtaining the National Pokedex, and will still fail if you do not have the National Pokedex.
• Slowpoke's evolution to

A couple days ago I made a post with some codes I had written, and someone asked if the Encounter Modifier also affected eggs. It didn't (or rather, it would probably cause things to glitch badly), so I said as much, and added that it looked possible to modify eggs, but that I wasn't interested in looking into it much further.

Well, after looking at it just a bit, I realized that the code that handles egg hatching offers a few points of customization that standard wild encounters don't. Namely, individual IVs and moves. Additionally, due to the nature of how eggs are generated, there is total l

I've written a handful of Codebreaker/Gameshark SP (12-digit) codes to share with this community. I originally had written improvements to the Wild Encounter Modifier codes, but recently hit some inspiration on getting "Display SID" codes working for this device (they're pretty trivial for the Pro Action Replay since it can do temporary ROM patching, but the Codebreaker/Gameshark SP can't do this; on an emulator you'd just use the Pro Action Replay codes, but with real hardware you're limited to what you own).

With the Enhanced Wild Encounter Modifier and the ability to view your SID, you have everything you need to generate fully customized shiny encounters, as opposed to the well-known c

I'm trying to verify the behavior of emulator DS Action Replay cheat handling with regard to nested conditional codes. I don't have a physical DS Action Replay, which is why I'm asking here.

I've written the following contrived cheat codes for Pokemon HG/SS (either version works), what I need is for someone with a physical DS Action Replay to run them and report back their specific behavior:

I, with the help of the Xenoblade Chronicles Discord community, have been working for the past couple months on compiling the document linked above, which contains a fairly compressive overview of the formulas and mechanical nuance underpinning combat in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Additionally, it contains a curated selection of highly-effective postgame-oriented combat strategies and specific builds (with commentary) for each class.
