Drakiar Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hello, I was wondering, can I just read the .pkm in bytes (Vb.Net) to read the level, iv, ev, species, pid, nature, etc to import those information into a db? Our do I need to do something else to read the pokemon information? Sent from my Galaxy SII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandixon Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 A while ago codemonkey85 wrote a code library for reading save files. I can't get it to read full saves, but I could get it to read pkm files. Perhaps with a little work you can get it to read 5th Gen pkm files. Go to the Save R&D forum and search for PKMDS Code Library. Sent on my Windows Phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakiar Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thanks for your reply! When I woke up this morning, I used HxD, to view the hex values (unencrypted pokegen party (220 bytes) file), after that I did some more googling and learned how to read files into hex. So I am now able to read 5th gen pkm files. So now I don't need to insert pokes myself into my database now my app/program adds it!

It sounds quite interesting. Second of all: evandixon, I am currently working on the Gen V PKM format (finally). So stay tuned. Third of all (and off-topic): Drakiar, how do you like the Galaxy S II? I am thinking of picking one up on Sprint when it comes out here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Willy Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I wanted an answer to this question, however I wasn't sure if I should create a new thread or to just post in a thread like this, but what is the easiest way to read a .pkm file? I just want to be able to read the data, I'm trying to detect my SID from some shiny pokemon that I have transferred over through ir-gts-bw and I want to know the easiest way to look at these files.
