My response seems to keep disappearing, but It'll try one more time. My current project is named PokeMe64, but it's not public yet. I'm still working on the UI (menu elements and dialog widget). It's based on my previous project (libpokemegb on GitHub) (seems like posting the link makes my comment disappear), which can already inject distribution pokemon into gen 1 and gen 2 saves. For PokeMe64, I need to finish up my first version of the UI and write a plugin to apply my libpokemegb to the transfer pak before I can release it. Anyway, PokeMe64 uses libdragon for graphics, input and transfer pak functionality. But for now, it's not ready yet to be publicly released.

Absolutely perfect! I was thinking that this very thing was missing from the Pokemon community. An elegant way to transfer from gen 2 that should be considered as official as it gets. Since it follows the conversion conventions of the Poke Transporter, as soon as it gets to the Pokemon Bank it's indistinguishable from a Pokemon transferred from virtual console. It's not cheating at all. Perfect. PS: Maybe "stabilization" of Mew and Celebi, shouldn't be a feature. There are in-game ways to stabilize them.

@@djdjdijon I disagree. If you already have the necessary hardware to do that, and a modded 3DS, and a virtual console version of the same game, this would be the case. But it requires a lot of expertise and knowledge. The Poke Transporter GB just bridges the gap between the second and the third gen, in a simple way. It doesn't even require a flashcard or a modded Gamecube/Wii. Multiboot loading of the Poke Transporter can be put through a very inexpensive build of a Raspberri Pi Pico and a simple shield for the Game Boy Game Link port, using akkera102's gba_3_multiboot project. All the other necessary hardware components are official.

Hey! I've been seeing some people complaining about the limitations of this method, so I'll drop this info here. For transfering from gen 1/2 to gen 3, you can also use "Pokémon Gen 3 to Gen X", which was one of the inspirations of this project. It mimics the Timecapsule, which was how gen 2 was able to trade to gen 1. It always generates legal Pokèmon in terms of encounter, while also not deleting the moves you give them (if you want to transfer the Pokèmon to Home, you may need to delete the illegal moves eventually, but it's up to the final user, and not the software: this allows stuff like No Guard Fissure Machamp in Gen 4). It keeps shinyness and other stuff as well! It also gives you more control on the nature of the generated Pokèmon, as well as many other features, like support for all languages, or the fact that it can work both via multiboot AND cart swapping, making it accessible to more people. It is less "pretty" and "user friendly", but it's an homebrew which gives more power to the user. :)

We can finally send over the mons from gen 1 and gen 2 to gen 3 ❤❤ I still have my save data for all gen 1 and gen 2 crystal 💯💯💯💯

Nice! I'm guessing it's injecting some code through an ACE exploit in the gen 1-2 link protocol so it can read out a box instead of doing 1:1 trades like the game is designed to do. Lorenzoone has a different GBA homebrew tool that does 1:1 trades between 1/2 and 3, and can even send GBA Pokémon back to the older games, but at the cost of more modification so they can retain certain data. I don't think his always results in Home-legal pokes though. And of course there's Goppier's which uses a separate device in the middle so both games just see a trade. As for why Game Freak didn't do this, even in it's GBC-like link mode, the GBA link port is 3.3 volts while the GB/GBC one is 5 volts. In practice, you plug it together and it just works despite the voltage difference, and does so for all models of Gameboy I tested it with. However, it's definitely not kosher by the specs, and I doubt Nintendo would have allowed them to release a game that has players do it.

@joemck85

Ай бұрын

To clarify, when the GBA has a GB cartridge in it and it's in GB mode, the link port is 5 volts. But as long as it's running in GBA mode, it's 3.3 volts. So even linking 2 GBAs, if one of them has a GBA game in it and the other has a GB game, you will have a voltage mismatch.

good question

I wonder how the transfered mons migrate to the gen 3 games after the transfer between PTGB and the gen1-2 packs. Do they stay in the app until you link it back with the gen 3 game to complete the transfer? That part of the process wasn't explained very well so I'm quite confused. Amazing that this exists though, thanks for sharing.

The Fateful Encounter part seems weird since that is supposed to be used as an anti-cheat measure for Mew and Deoxys. Technically that would mark them as "illegitimate" to Nintendo, though it becomes mute upon transferring them to Gen IV since the Pal Park wipes the met data, except for the version, and simply notes whether it is from Kanto, Honenn, or a distant land. Though this makes me wonder what it will say for pokemon from the Gen 2 games. Does it just say Kanto? Since it is the closest to Johto and they share the same League. Or does it say Honenn? Since you transferred them to one of the Honenn games. Can't say Distant Land since that is reserved for XD and Colosseum and there is a very limited selection of pokemon that can be found there and most of them will have the national ribbon.
