ROM Hack Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 Pokesav?

[Pluupy]

I dunno about you guys, but I like Pokesav more. I like the large window and the ability to edit my items with moderation. I like setting even the little things like "resetting" pokemon names or setting pokemon original trainers to my character. I especially like having a personal window for each individual pokemon so I don't have to go through tabs and whatnot to get what I want.

I haven't been using Pokegen long and I feel quite frustrated. It isn't like Pokesav in which you pick up and go. The interface is quite unneccessarily complicated. I have no idea what was going through the developer's mind, but Pokesav is better in this sense hands down. I don't even remember struggling with Pokesav when I first got it. It's straight forward.

Anyway, that aside...

Even if you don't like Pokegen's configuration methods, I found that the BW2 save does load into Pokesav BW. So I think you can just edit your pokemon there, save to .pkm, and just load it up in Pokegen to finish up. I wouldn't directly use Pokesav BW with BW2...who knows what may happen.

Just like I have no idea what goes through your mind when you look at the UI. I cannot comprehend how it's confusing to you or anyone else. If you'd care to be more detailed on exactly what's "problematic", perhaps it can be changed.

It took some getting used to, but PokeGen is actually really easy to use. Granted it still does not change the PID like its supposed to the make the PKM's legal, but that can be fixed with updates.

Pokegen is my favourite. the only good thing in pokesav . is that you could change where you´re char is

 

[Ykr1113]

pokesav is shit. For Black and White 2. Pokegen is better, but that doesn't answer your question does it ? I remember the guy who originally made pokesav had placed a section on his site for "BW2 pokesav" (In Japanese) the game has been out in japan for several months and Codr had already figured out the structure of the save file for pokegen ,.
Honestly i don't think he will make one and if he does and it takes him this long I hope its not shit like the other ones.

I have used Pokesav before and was using it for like 1-2 years before I discovered Pokegen.I love Pokegen more these days because I can easily overwrite my Desmume save files...Its so convenient that way.Pokesav was good when pokegen wasn't around surely but it had too many options to confuse you.You can also generate codes to help someone you know...Besides there is always google if you manage to find something pokegen cant do

Surely a bigger Window or even Maximise option helps but its not a deal breaker kinda thing.All my thanks and appreciation to Codr for making something that awesome

Pokegen is not user friendly. It's hard to do anything simple.

 

[frown]

Although you aren't asking for an opinion, the interface seems friendly enough to me.
It took some getting used to since I was accustomed to Pokesav, but it's pretty self-explanatory.
Runs just fine under Wine too, and that's a plus in my book.
The only real complaints I have about PokeGen are that you can't import/export multiple pokemon simultaneously (Is it possible to save a box off at a time?),
and trainer info isn't modifiable. I'm new to it, so I haven't read up on what's planned, but since it's under active development, I am hopeful.

 

[Codr]

Don't bother reading what Bowser-jr posts. He's proven he's incapable of providing any sort of logical explanation behind his opinion, and just spouts it mindlessly.

Unfortunately that won't be the case with the next release.

No, but you can currently drag multiple .pkm files to a box.

It would be nice to know what you mean by "not user friendly"
I think if you can understand this :

You can understand this

To be fair, that's fucked up. That's obviously not what the pokesav interface should look like, and this is the first time I've seen a report of it bugging out like that.

 

[Bowser-jr]

That's not even what Pokesav looks likes. And as for Pokegen, it's not user friendly. There is no easy way to save what you are doing, edit your stats and moves and abilities correctly, and it is still not able to show the correct location of when, where, and how the pokemon your editing was caught. I know pokesav for BW2 is in the works, so I'll only be using Pokegen till then; despite it's many flaws.

There's "stats" and "attacks" tabs, so mind giving detail on what exactly is wrong there?

What I want to know is how are you going to continue using pokegen if there's no easy way to save ? Must take you 2 hours to do something in pokegen I guess.

this may be a bit offtopic but.. with pokesav/gen is there any way to extract a save from the physical cart? the ARDSi doesn't let me it says it can't detect the save

Seems like someone doesn't like Pokesav. If you're trolling, bravo sir, funny stuff. Now if you're not, I....think you need to get that computer of yours repaired, got too many viruses from a little free time on the internet huh. Anyway, PokeGen is the only thing available to Black 2 & White 2 at the moment, but it is usable. On the other hand, Pokesav is more open to options and way less confusing (something we call = user friendly). PokeGen can accidently overwrite a Pokemon in your Party/Box, if you're not paying close attention. When you highlight a Pokemon (eg. Rattata; meh) and you're trolling around with it's stat and then you go on to the next (eg.Lucario; legit) and want to rename it, you can blindly SET and overwrite and loose your Lucario without realizing it. By the way, my Pokesav looks nothing like the picture shown above, it's clean to shine and EASY. Having the actual copy makes it much more fun and harder. This way you don't have the temptation to cheat like most players.

Tip: Just thought of something... If you want to use Pokesav for B2/W2, why not trade it to the original Black/White games. And then use Pokesav. After you are done, simply trade em back. After all, B/W and B2/W2 are trade-able between each other; no restrictions.

I've provided my input . Just trolling .

can a event pokemon can be trade? (sorry never trade before...)
if can. what should i put in the location met? Link trade or the wifi event

 

[intocake]

PokEdit works pretty well for editing Pokemon. You can send the Pokemon straight to your game with the PokEdit GTS too.

It doesn't edit saves yet, but that functionality is coming pretty soon I think.
