Hey Meromero, Thanks for making this! I have used this before and it is really important in some cases. I'm planning on adding it to PPRE soon enough.

It's easy to add them in as extra Pokéballs (the Pokéball item). But to make them actually have their original ability not so much. Do you need them to have their original ability?

This poll is in need of Sylveon now!

You're going to want to use xdelta. You can use PPRE2 to make patches easily enough: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?27509-Project-Pokemon-ROM-Editor-2-(PPRE) File > New Project (Select an unmodified ROM). Edit Project ROM to be your edited ROM File > Make Patch (Make sure you have backups before creating a patch! If you click Export ROM accidentally, it will overwrite the project rom name!)

No, poketransfer only loads from Pokemon game cartridges.

Saw some of your stuff on TPP. Good job.

First off, let's set some ground rules: ANY POST ASKING A QUESTION ANSWERED IN THIS OP WILL BE REMOVED AND YOU WILL BE INFRACTED! There's some red text above, I'd recommend everyone reads it ^ Discoveries are not originally made on this thread. They are made in the IRC channel, #projectpokemon. There's a link above ^ This post will be updated. Be sure to check back in before posting a question! (Or just hang around on IRC) Alright, so, let's get on with some content: PKM/PKX/SAV Developments: So far, the PKX format has been discovered and documented. It is the the PKM equivalent for this generation. PokeGen has not yet been updated. There are PKX editors, however, there is no means to get a PKX file back into the game yet. It is possible to reliably rip PKX files out of the games though. Wi-Fi Protocol: The GTS was found to be encrypted using SSL. We are leaving that alone. Wondertrades and P2P (One player to another) trades have been found to use unencrypted UDP for transfers. UDP frames have been found to have PKX files inside of them. Scraping UDP frames can get PKX files. UDP frames containing PKX files occur when a Pokemon is "shown" that Pokemon while Trading. These PKX files are encrypted with a known format. And they have a simple checksum over them. The math here has been wrong a few times, but it is becoming corrected. The current way to get PKX files back into the game: Packet re-injection. This method has not yet been perfected (Checksum errors) There is also a packet modification method which depends on Linux network interfaces using a computer as a pseudo-router. There has been some problems on the networking end here. ROM: The ROM is currently encrypted using a difficult AES key. Keys for every game appear to be different (there is likely two keys, a globally signed one, and one per-game). This information is stored inside of the 3DS somewhere. It is done before the ROM is read into RAM, so there is no hope in grabbing the keys that way. RAM: RAM has successfully been written to.

I personally have been just poking along. Just beat the Fairy gym. My highest Pokemon right now is my Roselia (oddly enough). I ended up picking Froakie and Charmander. I've had my game since Saturday.

Alright, I know most of you are itching to share your progress with the rest of the community. In this thread, feel free to post some stuff about what's been going on in your game. Avoid very plot specific things if possible. Please do not post an unreasonable number of times in a row. Avoid using spoilers outside of spoiler tags.

So, this actually affected me as well. I have put a measure into place to hopefully prevent this. The user was going through the member list in alphabetical order which is why only users whose names with numbers and 'A' have gotten hit actually. I apologize for the inconvenience. Also, akoimeexx, check your CIDRs. 188.143.232.0/16, 188.143.234.0/16, and 188.143.235.0/16 all mean the same thing and are very redundant.

An ideal moderator is a user who is very committed to helping out the Project Pokemon community. The familiarize themselves with many users and staff, and they have also been a member for some period of time to show they are very active and mature. Moderators are dedicated to checking the forums very frequently, keeping it clean of unwanted material, and generally contributing. If you want to interact directly, there's quite a few users and staff on the IRC (Chat). I personally idle there frequently if you want to get to know me better. It also makes things easier on me to know whom I will potentially be working with.

That was the actual April Fools joke all along!

Effort </3

I'm so lazy it's not even funny.

This is not a tool thread, do not ask for help as to how to get these programs working. For those who do not know me, I am very against closed source. I created a program by the name of AlphaMap 4 years ago and have never released it. I promised that if I did not continue development by February 2013, I would release a reasonable amount of it for the sake of innovation. My development for Pokemon research has been on hold for the longest time, and I do fear that I will not be getting back to it. I honestly wish I had more time for time for development of "fun" stuff, but that is not as reasonable as I had originally anticipated, so I can only really develop things which would actually further myself as an experienced developer (read: Pokemon development can only get me so far in life; it is neither profitable nor credible). Word of warning: These programs are released as is; I have not cleaned them up at all. There are many quirks within them that are likely hard to understand. http://projectpokemon.org/alphamap.tar.gz

Bug fixes NARC browser and editor Potentially an image exporter/importer

Lame solution to the white 2 bug: change your game id to black 2. Open your header.bin in a hex editor, and change the game id from IRD to IRE.

What game are you using? There is a known bug with White 2 that causes that.

Updated original post with first frozen binary release: http://projectpokemon.org/ppre/PPRE-2.2.0.zip You people are going to have to live with silly bugs because I don't plan on going back to Windows for some time. I would love to know what the Syntax Error is so that I can fix these things/offer help.

Okay, for those of you who did not already know, I am one of the original pioneers of map editing. I was of the first to break the entire NSBMD and related formats. 3 years ago, I created several versions of a program called AlphaMap which allowed viewing and editing of maps in Pokemon games. I also created similar versions for non-pokemon models. I will not be releasing AlphaMap. However, I will be using chunks of it to create an intuitive map editor in PPRE.

So what normally happens is that I will take the entire source, and compile it into a .exe that can be run without the need for Python and PyQt4. However, the compile stage is something that I do not particularly enjoy because I have to find an operating system with Windows on it. I should have a release around a week or two from now when I work out some bugs from Black and White. If you did still want to run it, you need PyQt4, which is downloadable from http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download

I'll just start us off on the new from Nintendo Direct. http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/archive/01-08-2013/ Release: October 2013 Worldwide (All languages at once)

Any new known content about the upcoming Generation VI games, Pokemon X and Y versions, belongs here. If you would like to make speculations, take it to the Speculation Thread.

Alright Project Pokemon, Generation VI is already on its way. It's going to be an interesting one, because the English Release will come out at the exact same time as the Japanese release. Anyways, what are your thoughts on how things are going to end up going plotwise? Thread-specific rule: Limit the unneeded posts. Since we are we trying to promote discussion, I ask that at least two reasonable sentences be used in the posts. Any post deemed unreasonable will be deleted.
