## About
Pokémon Mirror is a transfer tool for created to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal to Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald. Pokémon Mirror is designed to emulate what GameFreak may have released should they persued it. Many inspirations were taken from the Pal Park, PokéTransfer Lab, and PokéTransporte to keep a "GameFreak" feeling.
_**Pokémon Transfered using Pokémon Mirror will *not* be removed from Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold Silver, or Crystal. This is not only to save on time when transfering, but also to guarentee that Pokémon are not lost and are able to be transfered again if a large update is made to the program.**_
_Pokémon Mirror WILL modify your generation 3 save file. The program is designed to not corrupt anything, but if you do not wish to modify your save file, this isn't the program for you._
*Currently the only release is in English. Releases supporting other languages is planned for the near future.*
_**Please note that Pokémon Mirror is still in beta, so save file backups are HIGHLY recommended before using**._
*Only English copies of Ruby, Sappire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald are supported at this time. However, all languages of Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold Silver, and Crystal are supported! Compatibility for other languages will be added in the near future.*
## Notes
Pokémon Transfered using Pokémon Mirror will *not* be removed from Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold Silver, or Crystal. This is not only to save on time when transfering, but also to guarentee that Pokémon are not lost and are able to be transfered again if a large update is made to the program.
## Installation
Currently the only release is in English. Releases supporting other languages is planned for the near future.
Only English copies of Ruby, Sappire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald are supported at this time. However, all languages of Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold Silver, and Crystal are supported! Compatibility for other languages will be added in the near future.
## Usage
Pokémon Mirror is a Multiboot program for the Game Boy Advance. There are two main ways to run the Pokémon Mirror ROM on a Game Boy Advance:
- Use a program such as FIX94's [GBA Link Cable ROM Sender](https://github.com/FIX94/gba-link-cable-rom-sender) on a GameCube or Wii running Homebrew along with a GBA GameCube Link Cable
- Upload the Multiboot ROM to a GBA Flash Cart, launch the game in Multiboot mode (often by holding L when selecting the ROM), and swap the Game Pak after the program loads.

## Why?
One of my favorite aspects of the Pokémon franchise is the ability to send Pokémon forward into the most recent generation. Of course, this isn't possible from the Gameboy games into the Gameboy Advance era- and I wanted to fix that. A handful of Poeople have bridged the gap before, but Pokémon Mirror is the first tool designed to transfer Pokémon like the Pal Park, PokéTransport Lab, and PokéTransporter for Generation 1 and 2 to Generation 3.
