moop_stick Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Hi, I'm anticipating the release of Heart Gold, and want to transfer my Pearl Pokemon over. Is there a way to batch export/import all of my pokemon from one game to the other? (Or will there be?)
codemonkey85 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 That's an intriguing idea. There is currently no way to batch import / export, but if you have the tools to backup and restore your retail cart saves, there very easily could be... my library could easily be used for such a task (and I'll bet Chase's could do the same). I'll keep this in mind for when I get back to programming.
moop_stick Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 It could be easier to just save whole boxes too.
codemonkey85 Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 From a programming standpoint, that is exactly what I was planning to do. Basically I use binary serialization to read and write the data from the save files as binary structures, and those structures are organized by encapsulation. So in order from top to bottom, it goes save file -> storage block -> PC -> Box -> Pokémon. So whole boxes, or even the entire PC, could easily be extracted and replaced.
