    Well, for one thing, the forums are (as far as I can tell) a much more robust platform for heavy discussion. I believe they are much more streamlined for message composition (for example, the comments box in the news article has way too many formatting buttons and other things if you want to just send up a quick reply). Plus, it doesn't seem like there are options for E-Mail notifications or anything for further replies. However, if you wish me to delete this thread and continue discussion in the news page, I will comply.

    Grovyle, you continue to astound me with your speed and capacity to learn and apply what you know. ARDS output will make this program a must-have for Pokémon hackers. Quick suggestions for you: Slightly off-topic: Hey Kazumi213, good to see you around! Thanks again for making that font (and figuring out the Unicode equivilant values?), as I have been using them since Sabresite gave them to me.

    Yes, that is exactly what I was doing with the program I was working on. The only things I needed to work out, IIRC, were the trash bytes and Fateful Encounter. Actually, I was considering learning how to properly write to a GBA save file to truly extract (and remove) the Pokémon from the GBA save, to emulate the Pal Park as closely as possible, but I pretty much gave up on that one (for now at least).

    Just in case you didn't see the front page: http://www.projectpokemon.org/news/150/New%20Pokémon%20Game%20in%20Develoment So, what do you guys think? Personally I think this is Masuda's notion of a more action-y Pokémon game coming to fruition. Whether or not it's a spin-off game is anyone's guess, although they've never introduced "new Pokémon" in such a game, so... hmm. FYI, normally I would expect the "News-Bot" to post this in the forums, but it didn't... possibly part of the changes from the site and forums upgrade? I dunno. So it seemed like this was the appropriate place to start a forums-based discussion... if I'm wrong, let me know, guys!

    Hey guys, if you're interested, I made my own Google Calendar for Pokémon events. Here are the relevant URLs: The dates and times are for Eastern Standard time, which is 14 hours behind Tokyo, Japan. SCV, if you're interested and want to talk about implementing it in the site, feel free to AIM or E-Mail me at my username at GMail and I'll set you up with admin privileges and stuff. If you don't want to use it, I may just post a link in a relevant forum and run the thing myself.

    Well that's just weird. And of course now I'm at work so I can't test it. Are you using a download accelerator or other odd thing? Is there something wrong with PP's backend? Has anyone else experienced problems downloading since last night? Really wishing I'd remembered to put it on Megaupload or something too. EDIT: Hey Silent Storm, if you have the EXE, try getting and using the DLL from this post.

    Guys, I fixed the attachment in the first post. It should work now.

    As far as the calendar itself and maintenance of the events go, it's actually dead simple... you manage everything from your Google account. You could even share the calendar and allow other people (i.e. the other admins) to view and edit the events and stuff. As for implementing it in the site, there are some details in the settings page and on the help pages at Google, but I'm not sure if specific instructions for what you must do on your end exist.

    Varune, if you want to know the mechanics that make Pokesav work, see here and here. Also, please read the forum rules if you want to know about infractions, etc.

    Dalik, please see this page for info on how shininess is determined in the Pokémon DS games. Remember too that the personality value (or PID) referenced in that article is located in the first four bytes of the Pokémon data.
  11. codemonkey85
    Ah yes, yes it is. I keep meaning to re-upload it and I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm vaguely considering storing the ZIP on my iPhone so I can E-Mail it at a moment's notice.

    Cyndaquil1995, you may want to check out this announcement before you ask about that. Edit: or maybe this page? The first link doesn't seem to be working for me.... SCV, do you have an opinion on my calendar idea?
  13. codemonkey85
    Well, if you know C++, you could use Chase's code library. If you know VB.Net or C#, you could use my code library. If you don't know any programming, then you've got some work to do.
  14. codemonkey85
    Interesting. I never heard or saw that... do you have a link to the page with that info?
  15. codemonkey85
    On topic: I think Pingouin7 makes an interesting point; if you really want this project to be viable, you should write a program to extract the Pokémon data from the Gen II games. If you're not a programmer, then commission someone (but not me)! Off topic: Not to nitpick, but that's arguable. The data transfer between games in the GBA was different than in previous consoles; in the old days, data went from one game to the next in one direction at a time. In the GBA, data was sent to and from both games simeltaneously. The transfer method was incompatible with the old games, so no "Time Machine" or similar functionality was provided. Also, seeing as FireRed and LeafGreen were quite appealing to those who wished to collect the Kanto Pokémon, the lack of backwards compatibility could be attributed to a giant marketing ploy.

    Poryhack, you're completely right. I guess it would be pretty pointless after all. MasterX, that is very possible. Is there really that much of an interest in GBA formatted event Pokémon files?
  17. codemonkey85
    No problem! I am here to help. Regarding the Japanese and Korean fonts, if you can get a hold of Sabresite, he did a lot of work (or recruited others to do a lot of work) in that area. I think he would be your best resource.

    Here's another idea: regarding the release dates and event dates on the right-hand sidebar of the main page? How about an iCal file or other such calendar feed? It would be so awesome if one could subscribe to a calendar of Pokémon related dates with their application or platform of choice (like Google Calendar). For my part, I would setup E-Mail and popup reminders for local wireless and wi-fi events, so as to get reminders on my phone, etc. You could even add in a blurb in the event notes like "Brought to you by Project Pokémon" or something.

    Heh, I noticed that too, and was wondering what the deal was. I figured my browser was just being wonky.

    Well, it's still possible to do the conversion, but some things have to be taken into account, like the new Abilities, Moves, and Items, which would be handled on a case-by-case basis I guess. As for the met location, I'm a bit rusty on the details, but I think it's possible to just generate a new met location based on the target game... or else I think something along the lines of "Link Trade" would work, if that location exists in the GBA (which IIRC it does). But like I said, I'm a bit rusty on the details.
  21. codemonkey85
    Hmm. I will ask one of the admins about that later. If it becomes necessary, I can always upload my software to a third party site too, such as Megaupload.
  22. codemonkey85
    Right. Here is some reference: Here and here, X-Act explains the processes behind the creation of Pokémon... as well as how to extract information from the raw numbers (PID included) that are used in said processes. And here is an article from Bulbapedia that also explains some of what the PID does. To make a long story short, the PID can determine the IVs, Nature, Gender, Ability, shininess, Wurmple's evolution, and Spinda's spots. Also, in the Gen III games, it determined Unown's shape (not so in Gen IV though).

    Hey, here's another crazy idea: how about a mobile version of the main site, or at least a mobile optimized version of the Pokédex and Imagedex? Would be nice to have constant wireless access to that information. Also, not sure about how this works, but Google's mobile application has a feature where you speak into the mobile device, and the Google cloud converts your spoken words into searchable text. How awesome would it be to do a spoken search for Pokémon data? I guess to make this happen the site's 'Dex data would have to be searchable by Google... I'm not sure if that's something you enable on your end or if the site has to get enough hits to be "relevant" or what.

    Hey MasterX, how about relaxing with the caps lock there? I was working on my own program for converting from GBA to DS, and in the process, was planning to write a program to convert from DS to GBA, just because no one else had done it yet. So unless you're willing to wait for me, I don't think such a program exists yet.

    Hey Grovyle91... 256 KB save files are, I'm fairly certain, comprised of only one general block, one storage block, one Hall of Fame block, and probably two Battle Video blocks (not 100% sure on that last one). I don't think editing them would be all that different from editing a normal save file after determining the more current portions of the file.
