Same-save editions

Some pairs write byte-for-byte the same save, so the file alone cannot say which one you play:

• Ruby / Sapphire
• FireRed / LeafGreen
• Diamond / Pearl

PKForge asks you once, the first time you open the save (or guesses from your own Pokémon if you choose Decide later). Change it any time with B on the cartridge > Set game….

Language

Saves from every language PKHeX supports can be opened. The PKForge interface itself is in English.
