Pokémon Homebrew Bank
PHBank is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for XY and ORAS Pokémon games, just like the Pokébank, but as a free offline service. This homebrew is not intended to cheat (not even cloning). It's just a storage solution.
The source code is available under the GPLv3 license on github, and the resources are available on github too.
What this Homebrew can do:
- Work on o3ds and n3ds!
- Navigate through the PC boxes of a XY/ORAS save and the Bank boxes.
- Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
- Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
- Select some Pokémon (with buttons) and move them to another box.
- Swap an entire box content to another one (pc <-> bank).
- Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
- Prompt a dialog to save/exit/backup during the homebrew execution.
- Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/main).
- Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bank).
How to install it:
- Just extract the archive at (to?) the root of your SD card.
- It must contains:
- The homebrew files /3ds/PHBank/[PHBankFiles].
- The cia installer in /cia/PHBank.cia
- The data files /pk/[DataFiles].
How to import from <= [v1.1.4-beta-a]:
- Install PHBank normally, see above.
- Copy the bank file from /pkbank/bank to /pk/bank/bank.
- You can delete the /pkbank/ folder.
