The reason as to why the givepokemon command isn't working is because you used 0x30A as the pokemon species number in hex which is 778 in decimal and there are only 386 pokemon in gen 3 games. If you want to give the player a pikachu for example, use 0x19 as pikachu is number 25 in the pokedex, and number 25 (decimal) is number 19 in hexadeximal.
In conclusion, convert decimal numbers to hexadecimal.
