RBY Complete Pokédex + OCD

[mdccxxvii]

Hey all,

Found this board when looking through some glitch Pokémon on Bulbapedia, and thought that if anyone knew the answer to my questions it would be someone here.

I've been playing through Red, Blue and Yellow to get a full Pokédex, but realized that some Pokémon can only be obtained by trade, and have dumb nicknames that seem to be unchangeable. This makes my OCD want to go kill somebody employed by Nintendo, but the other option was to get on this board and see if anyone knew a reliable cheat (without a GameShark) to change the OT of a Pokémon (or any other way to change the nickname). A useful answer could save a Nintendo employee's life!

I guess I could use the ditto glitch to catch a wild Mr. Mime and Jynx, but that's time consuming.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the labs! Sorry that we'll be under maintenance until the site is ready.

The only thing I can think of to change the OT is the Q/Charizard 'M Trick or using the Ditto Glitch as you said. An explanation of the Q Trick can be found here. There's really no way to get Charizard 'M in R/B without trading Q from Yellow, but to get Q, you need 4 4 Hy which is obtained through the ditto trick with a special of 192 in Yellow. 4 4 Hy will start evolving into Q at level 6.

The Q Trick is much more time consuming than the Ditto Trick (which only takes roughly 5 minutes) so you may want to try that first. Check out the BIG LIST for what special stat you will need for each Pokemon.

Thanks for the reply.

I feel really stupid, but I just realized that if I name myself 'TRAINER' in one of my games, the nickname rater should allow me to change the names of Pokémon received in in-game trades... Can anyone confirm this?

I'll probably do the Ditto glitch anyways just because I took the time to get Pokémon with the right specials...

No, the game doesn't go by your name for name rater, it goes by a randomly generated OT.
