PKVault - Centralized pkm storage management & Pokedex app

Hi, new fix release 1.5.2 focused on pokemon convert system.

Converting a pokemon from a game to another one is now fully reworked, fixing most of current issues (errors, legality issues) and massivelly improving consistency and reliability.
PKHeX is expected to be used for remaining legality issues if any.

Some other fixes are visible in file changelog. including yours @gBina.

About the suggestion for homebrew switch app, this is possible but may take some time to do.

Ok, So after a bit of playing around with this and setting everything up the way I like it, i have to say, this is an insanely awesome program, and just what I was looking for. I make props for cosplay (but never actually cosplay ironically...), and this is perfect for the PC prop I'm making. Its modeled after the PCs from the gen 1 games, and with this program it'll actually work. Im curious if there's a way to integrate it with Flagbrew's PKSM/GPSS, but that's something I'll fiddle with on my free time. I just want to say, this is an excellent program, and good job!

New release 1.6.1 focused on a new main feature: use of external PKM files, from outside PKVault.

This was a feature asked for some months @Vladcik @yeyizo @WraithTDK

This new feature is still quite basic & raw, but should answer most needs I read here.

Hi, first I wanna say that this is a really cool project and I can't wait to utilize it more.

 

I have a question though. When transferring a Pokémon caught in Emerald to Red the game version changes to Sapphire and the trainer gender changes. This means that when I transfer the Pokémon back to Emerald from Red the game acts as if the Oddish was traded. Both the images are of Pokémon caught in the same save file.

 

I wanted to ask then if this is intended behavior or if its a result of limitation or differences between the Gen 1 and 3 systems or a bug.

 

I first noticed it when first using 1.6.0, but I checked on 1.6.1 and it happens there as well.

Hey, I am loving this app, I found it the other week after thinking one night that I really wish there was something like this.
I literally have ordered a Switch 1 to mod so I can get my saves and store my pokemon on here.

Just 3 key questions:

1. When looking today I couldnt find a way to clone my pokemon, I shiny hunted Rayquaza on US and wanted to dupe him to bring him into the new games without losing the original on US, I had to use poketransporter for this. Do you think youd ever add a clone feature to the app?

2. Do you intend on making a mobile version of this? I have a Z Flip 7 and would love to store all my saves on my own little pokedex on my phone so I could bring them all with me to show friends and family without having to be on PC.

3. Lastly do you plan on making an installer/updater? I updated today and had to relocate my saves and the mon stored in the bank and the 2nd bank i had just vanished without a backup (No losses).

Thank you for this amazing app I cant wait to get all my saves together in one place when I mod that switch in a few days.
