PK Injection A Pokémon Editor for ROM Hacks

[Poke J]

PK Injection is a RAM editor that is designed to edit Pokémon from ROM hacks that other editing software is unable to achieve. Before using reading the user manual is strongly encouraged. This software utilizes .NET 8 and requires .NET 8 to be installed on your computer. This application requires the uses of emulators that allow dumping and injecting of RAM. This application is not compatible with save states or save files.

Why use PK Injection over more well-known save editing software? PK Injection is designed to edit Pokémon from ROM hacks that cannot be edited by other save editing applications. However, if you found a save editor that can edit your game’s save I encourage you to continue using that application as this is a last ditch effort to edit Pokémon in your game.

Currently, this application is only compatible with gen 3 Pokémon ROM hacks. As of now there is no plan to expand the program to include other generations. There is no plan to include other types of edits beyond the current scope of Pokémon editing.

Note:
•    This application can only edit existing Pokémon in the RAM and cannot add a Pokémon into an empty storage slot.
•    It’s best to edit Pokémon in the PC or deposit the Pokémon into the PC before it is used in battle. The PC will adjust values such PP and level to the correct value once the Pokémon is withdrawn.
•    Dump the RAM in the overworld and don’t do anything in-game until the RAM is loaded back into the game. If loading the RAM into the game causes graphical corruption open the menu and go to the Pokémon screen then exit the menu. Reloading the games tile set will fix the issue.

Please report any bugs or issues within this thread.
You can download PK Injection from Project Pokémon download section.

Hello, how would I go on about doing the whole thing in mGBA? For Run and Bun. I tried many ways but they mostly end in the emulator freezing then crashing, crashing before it even exported the RAM file, or the game not working.

I have never tried mGBA to dump the RAM. Keep in mind when you do get the RAM dumped keep a backup of the save in case of corruption.

Hey, so I tried it out in VBA-M (couldn't get VBA-RR to even launch Run and Bun) and, when editing certain different gen pokemon (the starter, chimchar (which reads as anorith), could be edited and modified but bounsweet (which reads as itself) could not), it gives me a 'Index was outside the bounds of the array.' error. The details: here.

Could I do anything about this? And thanks for responding.

Sorry, for not responding sooner. I didn’t see the notification. I’ll have to take a look at the program and fix it. I honestly haven’t looked at it since launch since I assumed no one was using it.

It's absolutely fine dude, take your time. It's understandable, what with rom hacking being like only somewhat popular and a tool like this, when pkhex exists and works for most things, is bound to go unappreciated.

And hey, it has 245 downloads, that's something.... maybe.
