Pokerom Trader is an open-source project that simplifies the process of trading Pokémon between two save files using the PKSav C library. This graphical user interface (GUI) provides an intuitive way for Pokémon enthusiasts to transfer Pokémon between different save files. This is not another save file editor. This replicates the in-game trading experience resulting in legal pokémon.
- Trade - Allows a user to trade Pokémon between save files
- Evolve - A shortcut for evolving Pokémon that only evolve through trading
- This replicates a trade, the evolution, and a trade back to OT
- Save backup - Automatically backs up save files in the same directory before writing to them
- Change save files folder with absolute path to folder
- Default is ~/Library/Application Support/PokeromTrader/saves (MacOS)
- Default is ~/.pokeromtrader/ (Linux)
- Default is <UserProfile>\Documents\PokeromTrader\saves (Windows)
- Stats calculation on evolution
- Calculated using formula from bulbapedia.
- Based off of the Pokémon's base stats, level, DVs, and EVs all of which are read from the save file sram.
- Same-gen trading (Gen 1 <-> Gen 1, Gen 2 <-> Gen 2)
- Cross-gen trading (Gen 1 <-> Gen 2)
- Gen 1 trade evolutions
- Gen 2 trade evolutions
*Perfect Crystal save files seem to work.
- See issues tab for current bugs
- No JP Region support
- No Gen 3+ support
- No support for romhacks that change the save file structure (almost all of them)
