I totally get that it’s hard to scrub games of *all* of the data for the DLC, but this really sucks. Looking forward to the Switch 2 era where we can’t automatically leak everything the second the game drops- but that also means no unused data and all that cool stuff :/

Poke Transporter GB is a tool that runs on original hardware that transfers Pokemon from Generation 1/2 to Generation 3! I have a video talking about what it is and the development process here if you’re interested!

At the moment the library will double the IVs for both Legal and Faithful- however currently only the Original method is implemented in Poke Transporter GB. Once the last few bugs with the PCCS are fixed and community input is finished, it’ll be fully implemented!

Howdy! Apologies about the doubling IVs, I must’ve mislabeled that one. The only Pokémon that wouldn’t work for theoretically is the legendary beasts due to the roaming IV glitch restricting them.

You’re correct about the hatched origin! Besides Unown, only legendaries have that issue

A major part of this is the "Pokemon Community Conversion Standard" which is an open source library I created for different conversion methods. I'm really hoping this can be something the community can come together on and agree on these methods together!

I’ve been meaning to play that- it looks SO GOOD

I’d love to see a longer video about the development of Where’s My Water! One of my first programming experiences was trying to remake it on Scratch since I loved the game so much, so it holds an extra special place in my heart

No problem!! I hadn’t caught that these went up on Aliexpress, so I’m glad you sent them my way 😄

I am not the seller of that, unfortunately- I currently have no plans on selling cartridges for Poké Transporter GB. I can’t stop people from selling the program online, but I have no involvement in it

Thank you, as always, for everyone who has been following this project and supporting me over the years. I am so proud of what this project has become- but I'm even more excited for what's coming next.

Here's to another year- and many more- of Poké Transporter GB!

I had originally planned on v2.0.0 releasing around this time in celebration, but life has just gotten in the way too much for that to have happened. This year I started a full time job, and so I just haven't had as much time to work on PTGB- rest assured, development is still ongoing! (3/4)

Many things are coming soon as well- including fixing the pesky incorrect level bug and more language support. These rewrites are key to the next stages of development, but have taken a long time. There's a ton I'm excited for that's coming up, but it just isn't quite yet ready for launch. (2/4)
