Evie (ChickasaurusGL) 🌺 | Party slot 7 (and up) is checked for the walking Pikachu (Pokémon Yellow) @ChickasaurusGL | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
If you happen to have a walking Pikachu in slot 7 (a Pikachu with the same Trainer ID and OT as you), it will count. Doing this with Pokémon swaps is really problematic, however, for Pokémon 7 the following is true:
(Testing in the Japanese versions):
*Pokémon 7's TID is equivalent to the bytes in Pokémon 3's OT character 1 and 2.
*Pokémon 7's OT is the same as Pokémon 1's nickname.
(In English versions it's Pokémon 2's OT character 2 and 3)
This also worked in the Japanese versions (rev 1 through to rev 3). It never typically comes in play however, because whenever the game finds an FF (end party) byte, it stops looking for Pikachu.
Sorry, I previously thought it was fixed in the English versions, but misread the code below. github.com/pret/pokeyellow/blob/3ce276892c1b97ae893d319125b13fed936d14f2/engine/pikachu/pikachu_status.asm
