I play Gen 3 alot and I decided hoarding Pokemon and items was a pain when storage space was so limited, that and trading takes forever. So I created a PokeBank-like program for hoarding, trading, and managing Pokemon, Items, Pokeblocks, Mail, and Decorations.

Trigger's PC is a tool designed for legit purposes. There really aren't enough tools for legit-play out there sadly. However, note it does extend some of the boundaries of the game to increase replayability and customization.

I've never had a problem getting the Colosseum Bonus disk to work for me. The Regi dolls also aren't that unobtainable. I know I posted a save file of Ruby on this site a couple weeks ago that had the regi dolls in it. I also scanned them into an Emerald save and that's on another forums. I'll be using this tool quite a lot now that I know it exists. I'll report to you any problems or bugs I might find.

Edit: Well, I guess I found one problem. It keeps crashing. I was slowly moving my Pokemon from various saves into the tools PC and then it crashed. I booted it back up and it just crashed again.

If you're looking for suggestions for features: A way to move multiple Pokemon at once. Not only is it tedious moving one Pokemon at a time. But my arm just fell asleep and now it's tingling. I try to avoid using my computer mouse for extended periods of time to prevent this from happening, but still.

I'm also adding my Ruby save with the decoration Present scanned in for anybody who wants the Regi Dolls. They were scanned in using a legit E-reader and card so if you don't mind clones of the real thing, here ya go!

Edit 2:

Error handling for invalid save files isn't too great yet. I'll fortify that in a bit.

I take it this is in reference to different languages? I was able to move Pokemon from a Spanish Colosseum save and items from my Japanese Ruby save. Every single time I even click on a Pokemon from my Japanese Colosseum, the program crashes. I was able to right click and move a Japanese Pokemon but as soon as I was trying to place it, the program crashed.

Could you give me the save files associated with Trigger's PC (AppDir/Gen 3/[Manager.xml, Settings.xml, Pokemon.boxes]). And the save files you were using to transfer?

And moving multiple pokemon at once seems like a good idea. It may be difficult to implement though.

I really love how you did this program. Anyway it stops working when it's maximized and after minimized.

Both of these issues should be fixed in the newly released version. Enjoy. And HaxAras you'll be happy to know Japanese is now supported in the GBA and Main Storage games. Also I really admire your collection. :)

I just wanna note. The Japanese Pokemon are from a tool, the Spanish Collection are from Suloku's save I think. The ones I wanted to keep private were my shiny Teeter Dance Pichu egg and my Feebas. The Metagross are also both public already.

Edit: Any chance you'd ever be willing/able to add Pokemon Box support? That would be a godsend! It's so tedious to write files to my GBA carts or my MCBackup folder for my SD Media Launcher and try to test them out to find out which save is which. I was able to use save editors to rid myself of all my Colosseum/XD save clones but I still have several Pokemon Box saves I have yet to identify. Pokemon Box is an amazing tool but it would be so much quicker to just do everything on my computer.

For Pokemon Box support I'd actually need some assistance.

The only reason I'm able to read Colosseum and soon xD files is because of the source code from PkmGCSaveEditor. So I have no information on the Pokemon Box save file format. However, if you're able to give me your Pokemon box saves and give me pkm files for certain pokemon in the box. (I'll also need the X, Y of the pokemon's position and the number of the box they're in). With this info I may be able to work with the format, however I'm worried there may be some kind of encryption I can't break.

I'll tell you know. I don't know a damn thing about programming or any of that nonsense. But as far as contributing my personal saves to you to work on. I'd be more than happy to share with you and help in any way I can. As for PKM Files for Pokemon. The best I'd be able to do is move them to a gen 3 save, backup the save and use something like A-save to get the PKM files for you.

I'll try to work on it this week then. When I gained the ability to backup and restore GameCube saves, I did a piss-poor job of keeping track of which ones were which. As I said, I managed to sort all but Pokemon Box. The other problem. I have a lot of GameCube memory cards and I did a similarly piss-poor job of organizing those as well. I have to go through, one by one and figure out what's on all my GameCube memory cards, if I have a backup and then if it's worth keeping as well as identify the 3-5 Pokemon Box saves I have.

support for gen 5 and 4 on the same app would be great as an easy way of tranfering pokemon maybe even to gen 6 saves and gen 7 when that comes out and save editing is figured out for it

Hey there.

I wanna say two things about this app: Good job and Thank you!

I've been thinking recently that it'd be awesome if someone made app like Pokemon Box: RS but for PC.

It has everything I've been searching for and it works very well for me.

I have some suggestions tho:

1. Give us more boxes or make already existing software boxes to be like in Pokemon Box: RS. I mean, make them able to contain 60 Pokemon each, that'd be dope!

2. Maybe some more customization options? Like changing the trainer sprite of Trigger's PC, custom backgrounds for boxes etc.

3. Like HaxAras said, we NEED an option to move multiple Pokemon. Also releasing whole boxes would be awesome.

4. Auto-sorting options: It would be nice if there were some options to auto-sort your boxes with some presets, for example: By level, by dex number, color, type, size etc.

5. Would be nice if we had some bigger icons and interface overall, I have some problems with it being so small but maybe that's just me :P

6. I don't know if it already exists there, but some security like "can't withdraw Pokemon from Trigger's PC or other games before E4" would be cool for Fire Red, Leaf Green and Emerald (Ruby and Sapphire had no securities like this so only these)

Also I encountered some minor... bugs I guess

My hatching Slugma's ability is shown wrong in your app

s9ut3PB.png

and here in my game

Wzoi2CU.png

So I guess that's all I have to say. The app is awesome, keep the good work! :)

PS. That's just my save for breeding and RNG abuse, my main save doesn't suck so badly :wink:

PS2. Sorry for my English, not my native language :biggrin:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really glad someone is this excited to use my app. :D

1) At the moment Trigger's PC boxes will probably stay at the 30 pokemon size to make it more compatible with how the UI is programmed. Later down the road I may look into it.

2) Customizability will definitely be coming. From trainer sprites to box wallpapers. You can already add more boxes to Trigger's PC in the Manage Boxes window in the Saves dropdown.

3) I'll definitely be working on mass movement sooner now that I realize people are using this for dumping all their save pokemon.

4) Sorting options sounds like an awesome idea. I was also thinking of doing a search option.

5) Interface changes will be a bit harder but later down the road I'll take a look at it. What elements are you having the most trouble with the size of?

6) As for the securities I didn't realize people wanted them. I kind of liked not having them because it created more team options to play with during a game. But if you'd like I could introduce an optional security setting.

7) I think I may know the issue with that.

Also: Also I'm concerned that your Box1 wallpaper isn't showing. :\

Posted (edited)

1. As I learnt that we can add more boxes, I am fine with 30 :D

2. Oops, I didn't know I can add more boxes :o sorry for that

3. Yeah, mass movement would really be cool :P

4. I think searching option is a great idea too! Like in Pokemon Box too :D

5. The elements I have problems with are mostly the Pokemon icons , but I don't know, that's probably just me

6. I just mean, it'd be more legit like this and all :P for now, I can see it being used for sending yourself a Mewtwo, Rayquaza and all OP Pokemon at the beginning for example.

7. It'd be nice to fix. Not something that makes the app unusable because it totally rocks, but it'd be useful if you have like... a full box of 1 Pokemon and each has other ability or something.

Also: Yeah :P That's the custom wallpaper so I am not surprised it doesn't work.

ALSO I have one question: Is it possible here to evolve pokemon that use some specific items for trading and evolving then? My shiny Scyther wants to become Scizor :3 but I don't know if it is possible so I ask

6) I'm not too concerned about that. It still wouldn't obey. The people who would do that are the people who would most likely use actual cheating tools instead. It's totally possible to cheat with this tool since you can mess around with the saves from the file system.

8) Yes you can evolve any pokemon that requires a stone or trade (with or without an item). Just go to the settings tab in the pokemon viewer and click "Item Evolve".

Yeah, I agree. One of the things I always hated about Fire Red/Leaf Green and the older Pokemon games in general. Were the limitations on what Pokemon you could use while you beat the story. For me, it makes almost the entire Johto dex worthless. By the time I get access to them, I've already cleared the game and there aren't any more trainers to fight using them. It should be left up to the individual person. If you don't want Pokemon on your cart that the games won't allow, then just don't put them there.

Edit: So far, I really love this tool to death. Honestly, I could deal without being able to move multiple Pokemon at once, as tedious as it is. The only thing that irritates me to no end. When you're moving Pokemon to the app for storage: You have to select the box you're depositing them to every single time. It starts on box 1 every single time you move a Pokemon so you have to click through the boxes for every single Pokemon you move.

Edit 2: I have no idea why or what happened but I can't even open the tool anymore.

Send me your a screencap of your tool directory and send me your gen 3 Manager files again. Also good news! Multi selecting and moving is coming in the next update!

Edit: Also if something causes a crash on startup it would be helpful to try removing the tool's PC files temporarily. If that fixes it then try temporarily removing your tools saves from Settings.xml. Now if that fixes it it's crashing when trying to read a save and not the tool's data.

Edit 2 - Electric Boogaloo: Aras could I also get your Spanish Colosseum save? I think the language index for Spanish GameCube games is wrong but I don't know what value it actually is.

Edit 3: Nevermind about edit 2. I figured out the language index issue.

I encountered some other weird bug, kinda similar to the one I showed you before.

WUpFTKd.png

Why does it show that my Rayquaza was encountered at lvl 6? It's all legit, lvl 70. It also shows that with my other Rayquazas, Groudons, Kyogres, Ho-oh, Lugia, Mewtwo, some event Pokemon... hmm, actually seems like every single Pokemon I encountered at lvl 70 is shown to be encountered at lvl 6...

I had no idea what you were talking about. So I just moved the Pokemon Box files elsewhere, deleted everything and re-downloaded. Thankfully, after restoring some of the deleted files, I was able to save my Pokeblocks, dolls, TM's and all that.

As for the Suloku's Spanish save. I can try to find it on my computer if you like, I know it's around somewhere. It would definitely be nice to have support for every language. I collect foreign Pokemon and I want living dexes in every language so I can completely fill out my Pokedexes.

Will there ever be mailbox support? I normally don't care about mail at all. But since I started collecting every in-game trade at the lowest level, it's been a chore and a half to trade the mail from various games to my Emerald version for storage. I'm currently working on English and Japanese and I don't even know how much room the PC has for it.

Ah I see. And I was more hoping for your save files again so I could figure out the cause of the problem.

As for the Spanish save I don't need it anymore. I fixed the issue. :)

I'm actually not sure about mailbox support. I don't know anything about the mail location in the save files so I wont be able to get them off of the save.

What's even worse is if you trade your mail away from your save to Your PC you may lose the contents forever. :\ I'll have to do some testing.

Progress Update: I'm making progress on figuring out how mail is structured. Sending them to other games shouldn't be too hard but reading them in the program will be a little different since I need to know what each word's code is.

Maybe I'm mis-reading what you're saying. You can store mail in the mailbox in the PC and it will keep the words. My problem is Pokemon Box and the BS restrictions by the game.

I was playing Leaf Green and did all the in-game trades. I couldn't trade with Emerald yet and I couldn't put the Jynx into Pokemon Box either. So I had to trade it to my Fire Red, then to Emerald, strip the mail and then deposit it into Pokemon Bank for storage.

I've discovered a new problem. The app seems to be working for the most part. But item evolution isn't working for me. The app crashes every time I try it.

Also, for Pokemon Box Support.

Here's InsaneNutters Fire Red save. In the HaxAras box, is my contest team.

I sent you my Pokemon Box save. You said you'd need the .PKM files of my Pokemon and their locations in Box. I hope this is good enough.
