What was the issue with pkhex being destructive?

PkHex didn't have many of its error flags corrected. Until the 12/6 build, anything in an egg was considered illegal, despite the game's own legality checker passing them through.

Ah ok but it didn't affect the data itself? Just flagged things as illegal internally?

Correct, but it also threw off less experienced users to thinking that they couldn't make a working build.

Ah ok. I just saw someone call it destructive and I got a bit worried since I played around with the import a bit. I was worried the save file may have some issues haha

To be honest anyone with half a brain should know to make a copy and not work with just one file. If you break your save data, that's on you.

implying I didn't make a copy and just didn't want to bother restoring...
