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.
