You can use PKHeX instead, it supports Gen 1. Also are you 100% sure you're saving your edits and not just re-injecting your original save?

Yeah i didnt realize pkhex worked with the older games. But can someone explain to me how EVs work in RBY I played them a bunch when I was little getting 150 pokemon in blue (I just needed Electabuzz from Red!) but I can't remember at all how EVs work and how t set them in PHHex?

Well Pokemon in Gen 1 can have 65,535 EVs in every single stat, there is no max cap. If you max them all it would be a total of 327,675. You just can not go over 65,535 in any individual stat. IVs on the other hand only go up to 15, so an 11 in Gen 1 would be equivalent to say a 23/24 in Gen 6/7.

So, someone asks me about this program, and it turns out I'm probably one of the few people who still has it...

Fun facts:
* It's windows exclusive, but on the other hand there are plenty of (Phyton) source files scattered inside
* It edits name, money, team, boxes, items, and Pokedex progress, no fancy features
* I didn't make this
* It was sponsored by the defunct site Pkparaiso.net
* Like PkHex, the UI sometimes aces and sometimes sucks
* When opening a file, change the extension filter from .sav to All Files so that you can directly open the extracted virtual console "sav.bin"
* After editing the level/DV/StatExp, use the "quick editing" option to recalculate stats

I just wanted to give a HUGE thanks. I had a Pokemon Crystal cart that said my save file was corrupt. I used my old Pelican Brainboy to extract the save, copied it to my GB USB Smart Card GameBoy flash cart, used my PC to retrieve the save, and then was able to use the "Force Open" ability in Piksav to open it. All of the data was there but some pokemon names and item quantities were garbled. I was able to fix the names with the tool and then flash the save back to the cart. From there I put the pokemon in Bill's PC, and took them back out which seemed to get everything working properly again.

Old threat, I know, but does anyone know if Pikasav/PKHex can support modifying a translated Pokemon green save? I have issues with Pokemon names corrupting. Rather than taking them all to the name rater to fix their names, it would be nice to edit the save with an editor to fix them. Thanks!

I don't think this supports Japanese games at all, but even if it does, the translators just made up their own charset (as game freak did when creating the original game as well as the official translations) so it would be de facto useless anyway, you're probably better off creating your own mod of PkHeX (since that is open source)

Thanks for the reply. I have zero experience programming/coding, so I'd have no idea where to start and it's not worth it honestly. But thanks!

Is there anyway that someone can send a qr code?
