read and display .pkm file in VB.net or C#

[Vliegtuig]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me,

I want to make a small program, where I can open a PokéSav .pkm file and then

display the information in VB.net or C#, but I don't know how to start.

Regards Vliegtuig.

If you open the file as a series of bytes, you can analyze it and pick it apart based on the data here.

Keep in mind that boxed Pokémon are smaller than party Pokémon.

Hmm...well my problem is that I don't know how to open them as bytes...

First of all:

The Bulbapedia page is way outdated, so use this page instead.

Second of all: check out my VB.Net PKMDS Pokémon code library here, and let me know if you have any questions.
