New Tool: PKMDS Box MK II (beta)

[Jiggy-Ninja]

Cool! What is the "Transit" slot? PM me. Or you could post here, I don't mind.

It's to transfer Pokemon between boxes, sort of like the "hand" in the games.

That.

I am hoping for a more elegant solution, but that will do in the meantime. Or you could just drop a bunch of PKM files, then change the box, and move them in from there.

Amazing I just started to use it and it is so much better than pokesav for loading in pokemon. Thanks and please keep updating the program.

Hey codemonkey85, first of all, Thanks for your programm^^ I needed this very much, because I transferred ALL my Pokémon from Diamond to Paltinum, because I did not want to catch them all a second time. But then I realized, that my Pokédex was empty XD
So, thanky for your Programm, but I ask you to add something, I think it should be possible...
Like you read before, I have to mark every single pokémon Ive caught with your programm, these are over 200. So it would be nice if i could simply klick ''seen'' and ''caught'', then the down arrow on the keyboard, the seen, caught... and so on. But the problem is, that after seen and caught comes the alphabetical list, Id prefer the Numerical one. not only because I think the alphabetical is not very useful, but some people perhaps nee dit. So, please, could you simply arrange this?

Thanky in advance, Reygok

Thanks for the feedback!

To make a long story short, I am planning for the program to automatically register Pokémon in the Pokédex when they are loaded. This includes updating the seen, caught, genders and formes registered in the Pokédex.

Loaded Pokémon will probably be added to the Pokétch Pokémon History app as well.

Okay, but is my thing very complicated? I dont want to wait^^ But If you prefer yours, i'll understand it, so Ill wait a fer weeks, or months, I dont know how fast you are in programming^^

[codemonkey85]

Well, directly editing the Pokédex is probably less complicated than what I am planning to do with this program. But what I do with this program will be kept as much as possible within the game's rules and standards.

If you want direct editing, you will have to wait for a bit longer. When I complete my code library, not only will it be easy for anyone to develop a Pokédex editor, I may do one myself as an example program. (Of course, PPSE is already doing that, so you could always check that program out instead.)

[Reygok]

Oh damn! I am very sorry, but I thought this was PPSE! I posted in the wrong tread XD
Didn't you realize I talked of PPSE^^ Whatever, now i'm going to post there...

Oh, wait, there is actully a problem with your Programm, at least on my PC^^ It simply doesn't work. I load my save from platinum, but there are only a few bad eggs, nothing of my 200 Pokémon^^

[xeomyr]

maybe because of your savefile type ..
it should be RAW type with 512kb size

use this webpage to convert your savefile

No, the program isn't working for you because there is no Platinum support yet. ;p I haven't mapped out all of the offsets yet, and every time I go to do it, something stops me from getting any work done.

That's my excuse and I'm stickin' with it.

I promise I will get this done someday. Hopefully I can set aside a weekend and just go through the whole thing.

About how much longer until that day comes?
I think the program it great, I just am not using it until I can use Platinum and everything registers in the Pokédex and such. But keep up the great work!

I love it already and the final hasn't even came out yet. This will be helpful for me to swap different pokemons from other saves and to orgainze them. I just have one thing though, whenever I put in a PKM file, the file goes away from my PC to my Save, is it suppose to do that? If it does, then is there a way to keep the PKM file on your PC and move it to your save both?

[codemonkey85]

It currently deletes the PKM file for a couple of reasons, one of which being that the files are also being generated in the PC's Temp location, and I want them to be removed from there ASAP so as to not bog the computer's storage down. Down the road I will work on an alternative solution, but for now that seems the best way to go.

Of course, you could always make a copy of the file before you load it.

To be honest, it has been kind of hard to find the kind of time I recently had for this project. Money problems and all that. But if I can just find myself about six hours of pure straight quiet, I should be able to restructure the data I have for DP into a Pt save structure, and then it's just a question of re-coding part of the library to accommodate the two separate structures.

i.e. I'm hoping for Independence Day weekend to be my golden Platinum hour. But no promises.

[codemonkey85]

Big news (at least for me): Pokémon Platinum save files are now supported! Now you can open up two instances of the program and transfer Pokémon between a Diamond / Pearl save file and a Platinum save file! Nice.

Check out the first post for the download!

Special thanks go to SCV and Jiggy-Ninja for helping me figure out how to auto-detect which save type is being loaded.

Oh my god, this is great! If i only had this 2 weeks ago^^ I already transferred all my pokémon from diamnod to platinum with pokésav, that was har work. Like this it would have been much easier! Thank you anyway.
