If only they could fix the issue where Spinda cannot be transferred from certain games.
With Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it's because they implemented the pattern generation "in reverse", meaning patterns would change if moved between Home and games.
With Go, it's because they never actually implemented any sort of pattern generation and only launched 9 pre-determined patterns.

@RupeeClock Didn't know about that, interesting!
For Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl they could "simply" make a code to convert the patterns while Go seems way too complicated as they'd need to add patterns, even as just a hidden feature, from scratch and I'm not sure how you could apply it to Spindas people have already caught.

@JohnnyMind
Go is notorious for not being able to implement many of the gimmicks present in the main series, particular where special formes and forme changes are involved.

With BD/SP, the problem is mistakenly read the Personality Value that determines Spinda patterns as Big Endian rather than Little Endian, meaning they are reading the bytes backwards rather than forwards.

Unfortunately it won't be fixable, as the data that determines Spinda's pattern, the Personality Value, is used to control multiple aspects of the Pokémon's generation such as their gender, ability, and nature.

@RupeeClock Ah, I see, unfortunate that it won't be fixable for those games either then, thanks for the explanation!
