    I've moved Deoxys down to number 252 so that he will appear right after Celebi. But instead of him being number 252, I want his number to show up as "???". How can I do this? Nobody seems to know.
     
    I don't mean to be annoying but can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? This is the very last thing I need to do before my hack is complete.
     
    from what i know i dont think you can change it to anything other that a number
     

    That's actually what I used to put Deoxys at 252. It doesn't let you edit the numbers to question marks though. I'm assuming I'd have to hex edit to change the actual image of the 252 in the pokedex to the question marks. I don't really know a ton about hex editing so I was hoping someone would know which offsets to change.

    I'm not good at Hex Editing either! so..Sorry!

    Wait, do you want his name to be "???"
     
    so lets just say if it was:

    pikachu
    cyndaquil
    ???
    rayquaza
    etc

    is that what you want?
     
    If you set the pokedex number to a number over 1000 it will show up as the ? Followed by the last 2 numbers
    Basically if you set it too 1001 it will be ?01
    It will appear as the last entry in the pokedex though.
    I know this doesn't do what you want but at least it will show up with a ?
    Hope this helps!
     
    Also If it is in the national dex when you do not have it it will be??? so if you edit the regular dex to contain all pokemon in your hack besides deoxys then you would have accomplished what you want.
