'Cloyster' ID 08767(?) is cyan instead of violet
'Jiggly' ID ? has green eyes instead of blue

And trainers' pokémon, too...

'VOLTCIAN' is purple/white

Any others?

1): I have done all my testing with trainer id#00000. I believe some function of these two bytes is involved...
2): I know for a fact that the other bytes are added together and checked against a reference value after some function is performed (probably to combine it with the id#).

Example: My girlfriend caught a Growlithe an named it Redd (after the color ). Lucky her, it was red instead of orange. So I tried different monsters with the same id# whose letters added up to be the same (Rece, Peai, Qida) all turned out to be alternate colors (Red Growlithe, light blue dratini, very light blue lapras).

Haven't checked to see how OT# reacts with this, etc.

This is continuing, obviously...

Oh Good Grief people. We're looking for an algorithm right? Don't just post the name, also post the OT number. That way we'll have a large basis to figure this out on. They probably just add all the bytes together, but they may have a couple special colors for each monster.

-cfalcon

Could that be the case with the oddly coloured Pokemon in Gold/Silver (like Golden Gyarados or Silver Rynhorn)?

for info about Shiny monsters in Gold/Silver.

(basically, it's based on stats. Some of you could technically already have monsters that, when transfered to G/S, are shiny)

The colors in Stadium are based on some function of the name and the OT #. That function is almost certainly addition, but I still wonder after how many bits it truncates (16 or 8 bit number).

Are gold gyrados in stadium? Red are in G/S, where are the two you mentioned, and their appropriate parameters (OT# and nick if Stadium, stats if G/S).

Thank you,

-cfalcon

But they don't have the algorithm yet, just a few of the built in methods for getting different colored monsters (lowercase, etc., just as the in game trainers do).

-cfalcon

I forgot his stats, but they have been changed anyway, because I used it in a battle and leveled it...

If anyone has found this same monster (silver Rhydon on victory road, please either post its unleveled stats and its level, or its deter values (preferable)).

Or, Jan, you could knock its stat EXP down to zero with a GameShark and pop it in and out of a box, then record its stats and level here, and then reset without saving (thus preserving your stat EXP).

If you have a Shark and are willing but don't know how to do this, respond...

-cfalcon

Silver Rynhorn I caught appears to be completley random; I was walking around Victory Road, when it appeared.

However, I just noticed that ALL my pokemon in the (silver) game have same ID numbers (35199). ID# is just like IP. Maybe the shining Pokemon you run into depend on your ID number? For example, if your ID# is umm...23387, you encounter shining Rattatas,
if your ID# is 45271 you'd run into shining Magikarps etc.

Aren't all Gengars purple? Or do you mean a different shade?

Further testing with modifying OT# and name has shown that it is based on the addition of the binary values of the characters in the name of the monster with the first and second byte of the OT#.

I don't know:

(a) - What number they are supposed to sum to.

(b) - Whether or not the OT name is used.

(c) - How many possible colors each monster has (two? three? four?).

I would like those who haven't, and have the time, to post

(1)-Nickname
(2)-OT#
(3)-OTname
(4)-type and color it is

for all oddly colored monsters.

(4) is optional: after all, Redd, OT# 00000, OTname=John will make a Red Growlithe, a light blue Lapras, etc. So will Recc, OT# 00257 (hex 0101), same OTname. All I did is add one to two bytes, so I had to subtract one from two others.

Capitalization is VERY important.

So far we have:

Nickname: Cloyster
ID# 08767
OTname ?
c/type: cyan Cloyster

Nickname: Sir Rupert
ID# 09690
OTname REID
c/type: green Snorlax

Everyone else who posted didn't include OT#, or something.

If you have any to add, please do. It won't be hard to find the algorithm when we have data in numbers...

Thank you,

~Slick has spoken~

you think genes have anything to do with it?

Arcanine
Name: (Pk)Niner (Pk=one character (as in PkMn)
ID: 40610
OT: Kamek
Color: Paler colors than original Arcanine, but same colors

Dodrio
Name: Tri-Threat
ID: 40610
OT: Kamek
Color: "Mustard" would be the best way to describe it

Chansey
Name: Chansey (Capital "C", lowercase "hansey")
ID: 40610
OT: Kamek
Color: Paler than normal Chansey

Slowbro
Name: Pokey[]
ID: 40610
OT: Kamek
Color: Paler than normal Slowbro (monotonous isn't it???)

Zapdos
Name: AmpBlaster
ID: 40610
OT: Kamek
Color: Standard yellow with a few points tacked onto the Red value

BTW, a friend of mine said he hacked a color modifier for GameShark. I'll try to hack a color modifier for the "view" function and see if I'm successful -- if so, we can use it to enhance this color research (by viewing their values instead of using the actual code)

Chansey
Name: ][ CANDY (Not space in between the "][" and the "C")
ID: 46875
OT: DAN
Color: Hideous beige color....

OT-REID
#-09690
Name-The Hulk

he is a weird beighish peach

I wish I knew my colors

This is probably true for the Metallic ones, like that gold Kingler and Silver Rhydon mentioned a little while ago. Does anyone know the DV's for colored pokémon from G/S?

I think that it's based solely off the OT#, but as usual, I'm probably wrong.

This post was made solely by the will of the giant grinning demon scarecrows
sent to torture and manipulate me. And those damn kittens....

I've tried this theory out by cloning some of my Pokemon and giving the clones new names. The clones had different colors with the new names.

I don't know how OT and ID fit in, though.

First, there are some predefined names that generate certain colors. ign64.com has a list of a few.

I'm trying to figure out what the algorithm is for deciding on colors. Simply put, every byte in the name is added to both bytes in the OT#. I don't know about the OT name. If all this equals something, then it is a certain color. I'm pretty confident that genes don't enter into it, as the monsters I experimented with didn't have identical genes, but the same names yielded special colors, as did names where I would change them around alphabetically.

Mewtwo
Nick: SSJ-Goku
OT: STADIUM (trying to rename an Eevee, that's why it has this name)
ID: 00031
Color: Reddish tint

Arcanine
Nick: ZERO
OT: ASH (preselected)
ID: 22668
Color: Lighter orange

Exeggutor
Nick: AGILE
OT: ASH
ID: 22668
Color: Greenish Egg Heads, Foot Pads

Jolteon
Nick: TREBLE
OT: ASH
ID: 22668
Color: Darker Yellow

That's all I can think of right now.

I'll let you guys know when I have a method of getting any colored monster you want...

I think the data you guys are giving me is helpful: if I'm wrong about how things occur, I could be wrong about that too, but either way I appreciate the effort.

Again, thank you all.

Only about the first five (A, B, C, D, E, and maybe F and G) were one colour and the rest gradually gradient after a sharp clash in colour from the previous generations.

Tentacruel, nickname: Kracken, very green
Arcanine, nickname: Hellhound, blood red

I typed these capitalized, like here. However, both pokemon were odd colors with OT #'s 24695 and 06390.

Worship the Nidoking, his power comes directly from Goddish.

NESSIE, a Lapras. She is all normal except for dabs of white on her horn and ears. She's cute.

TOAD, a Venusaur. He is much darker than a normal Venusaur.

SHADOW, a Gengar. He is normal coloured.

VENOM, a Gengar. He is a bluish-violet colour.

BREAKER, a Mew. She has brighter pink spots, as far as I can tell.

DOLUS, a Starmie. He is normal.

LANCE, a Dugtrio. He is normal.

MUFF, an Eevee. She has a yellow tone.

BYRD, a Zapdos. She has a toned down neon yellow colour.

The first 2 nletters seem to corrospond with the first two numbers of the OT# which makes some kind of code. Also all letters after five don't seem to matter at all.
