cuz some ppl don't use windows and cant install the .net crap pkhex uses
I want to transfer my team from moon up to ultra moon and im not gonna pay for the overpriced pkmbank if im only gonna use it once

For transfer/trade Pokemon from US/UM to S/M (or vice versa, look to serebii) you DON'T need the Pokebank. Regular trade can be used as well.
 
I'm pretty sure you're skirting a GPL violation by charging for binaries in the guise of "donations" without releasing the source code until later. I'm 99% sure when you share the binary, you HAVE to publish the source publically period; and you have to publish one with each binary you share even if there are no changes.

I don't pretend to understand the entirety of the legality but I do know it says in black and white you're required to provide the source publically with every binary you share. That's a pretty shitty thing to do anyway and then act like you're not getting paid for your time. You're essentially extorting your users through their impatience and you know it. That's pretty fucking selfish dude.
 
Check out on serebii for see what you can trade and what you cannot.
ok
Im just gona dup my team with one of the old pksm 3dsx files cuz im too lazy to download the newest public version then trade my team up
no legendary or special pkm so I should be fine
I've got a ditto klefkey wailord gardevoir glaceon and milotic that im gonna trade up
all are legal and unedited (except the ditto cuz I edited its nickname to a certain adult toy) so they should transfer fine

Yeah but if you're going to do shitty things, at least don't feign willful ignorance.... He knows what he's doing.

Open source is just that for a reason, when devs start "charging" for freeware it not only violates their license but forces users to pay for something that was created under said free license; which, is illegal. I'm not just being a hater for no reason. If he wants to do that, he needs to rewrite it from scratch, get permissions for any code submitted by anyone else, and publish the project under a different license behind a paywall.
 
You know, for those complaining about the hassle of using PKHeX since the SD needs to be taken out, you can simply set an ftp server from your console using FTPDB and use FileZilla to move the saves between the 3DS and the PC. Yes, still not as convenient as having PKSM but you remove the most tedious step of the process with a few clicks.

Lmao? Stop it dude. Source code will be available for everyone in a couple hours for everyone alongside a release for the public, as soon as it is ready.

And my FBI is ready AF. You're doing a good job bro.

To the other guy: He leaked it to a patron-only discord a couple hours early. Not a big deal. He'd already told us it was pretty much done, and those people weren't specifically paying for the early release.

Yeah, ideally once it's ready if it's not behind a paywall it should be out to all, but I think we can forgive him for a couple hours.
 
You should rename the thread and omit the PCHex part, it's really outdated. Not saying it definitely causes people to look up PCHex, but there was a recent thread from someone inquiring about PCHex, not sure if they actually believed that still existed, but that project's dead and this thread title in some way keeps its name alive.

Sadly I don't have the power to rename thread afaik, so a mod should do that for me or I should contact some to close this and open another one

As someone who has Pokebank, I can tell you it's useless 99.9% of the time! I literally have it sitting there since I'm out of space in the games and just have it full of my competitive teams I never use (about 2200 mons) and the other ~800 are basically the entire Pokedex in incremental order so I can just move them in whatever game I need to to instantly finish the dex. So besides one or two uses a YEAR, all I have it for is for BP farming (get about 7 a day), but even that can be avoided with save editing. All in all, it's useless! What's also important to know is that you can get Pokebank without a pass, download Poke Transporter and you can move the gen 1, 2 and 5 mons to the new games WITHOUT paying. Yes, you only pay the storage, transfers are free!
