.pk4 files

[rusty887]

Hi, 
  I'm trying to add a Totodile to my HeartGold party. I downloaded the Roc's PC database but when I search for Totodile nothing comes up. The only way they appear is to change the filter from >= .pk4 to any. But since they're the wrong format I can't add them. The only fix is to change the Totodile.pkm file inside the HGSS folder to Totodile.pk4. I'm planning on adding more pokemon this way but don't want to manually change the .pkm to .pk4 every time. Is there a faster way?

Thanks

You could run this command on cmd (change the path to match yours of course):

ren "C:\pathtoyourfolder\*.pkm" *.pk4

ok thanks that works
although i still have a feeling I'm doing something wrong hard to believe that Roc's database would have HGSS files that aren't compatible

They're not incompatible, but rather, PKHeX is expecting a file format extension that PKHeX generates when loading files into the database.

RoC's PC contains .pkm files for a lot of the older games, which is the extension PokeGen uses for all of its Pokémon entity files, regardless of the generation.
