Kurt 28e20c4ea3 Enhance gen6 dex interactions
Uses the rewritten Gen5 object as the base rather than the old zukan abstraction
Adds National Dex unlocked flag for editing

probably best to extract an interface as there's no need to have a shared abstract Zukan class across generations.

PKHeX

License

Pokémon core series save editor, programmed in C#.

Supports the following files:

  • Save files ("main", *.sav, *.dsv, *.dat, *.gci, *.bin)
  • GameCube Memory Card files (*.raw, *.bin) containing GC Pokémon savegames.
  • Individual Pokémon entity files (.pk*, *.ck3, *.xk3, *.pb7, *.sk2, *.bk4, *.rk4)
  • Mystery Gift files (*.pgt, *.pcd, *.pgf, .wc*) including conversion to .pk*
  • Importing GO Park entities (*.gp1) including conversion to .pb7
  • Importing teams from Decrypted 3DS Battle Videos
  • Transferring from one generation to another, converting formats along the way.

Data is displayed in a view which can be edited and saved. The interface can be translated with resource/external text files so that different languages can be supported.

Pokémon Showdown sets and QR codes can be imported/exported to assist in sharing.

PKHeX expects save files that are not encrypted with console-specific keys. Use a savedata manager to import and export savedata from the console (Checkpoint, save_manager, JKSM, or SaveDataFiler).

We do not support or condone cheating at the expense of others. Do not use significantly hacked Pokémon in battle or in trades with those who are unaware hacked Pokémon are in use.
