If you receive any start-up errors, your computer likely requires this, or a version of it suitable to your hardware. It is the framework for Microsoft's .NET programming languages. We highly recommended you check whether or not you've already installed a newer version of the framework first, though.

Hmm.. Nothing new here..
Actually, I don't like it :-\
- PokéDex Order Editor is done already and was one of the first things documented..
- Just like the included starter editor.. If this doesn't edit the sprites in the suitcase = nothing new
- Introduction editor isn't new either..
- The TM/HM editor was also done already, or at least it's documented and not that hard :)
- Trades contain more info than the Pokémon..

Hmm, I think you should have waited to release this..
Why would people use a big tool, which probably runs slower (not that the user will notice) when opened, that includes tools that are already made..
I also don't know if this PokéShop support all languages.. as I hate to read image-text..

Sorry for the criticism and thanks for calling me a friend.. ^^

Edit:
k.. I read the image text.
So, the Starter Editor doesn't do anything new, and the only thing you're going to add to the Trade editor are the held items?)
I did not find if this works on all versions though.. maybe I over read that part.

You know, your layout totally screws with mobile browsers.
Just to prove that it's not PokeCommunity's fault:

Now, as you can see, that text is readable, while your annoying image-text is not.

The thing is, first of all, PokeSpam was the first to create most of these programs. And, if you read the image text, you'd see that next release we'll be adding more tools, and eventually a script and map editor probably.

I think it's kind of obvious why people would use this tool. Why do people use, let's see, Flock? Flock is just a browser with built in plug-ins for blog publishing, etc.; those plug-ins are already made in the form of standalone programs. They use Flock because it's more convenient to browse and publish simultaneously. The reason I made this program was for convenient all in one editing; as it grows (probably within this month) it will have most of the tools in existence already, and a couple that aren't released yet.

Darthatron made a much poorer version of the program. No offense, because he helped a lot with this one! SuperPoke, his attempt, was flawed to the extreme. Example: every time you edited, say, a TM attack, you had to save changes. How's that for bloated? In my program, it takes note of your changes in an array and then saves the array to the ROM. His Pokedex Order Editor didn't work even; he had listed 493 Pokémon for the Sinnoh Dex.

Suite programs are historically popular looking back. Photoshop, Flock, etc.! My program is the only program released in the history of Pokémon hacking that isn't insanely difficult to navigate, and monotonously confusing. It's streamlined, it's actually not any more bloated than running all 5 of those tools (plus the ones we'll add on later) simultaneously, and it's faster; would you rather be switching between tools, saving the ROM every ten seconds, or would you rather simply double click on the ROM, and edit everything about it?

Pokéshop does not yet support all languages, only English ROMs. Sorry for the inconvenience, but who hacks Japanese ROMs, out of curiosity?

Anyway. The point is, my program provides the one service software is supposed to provide, simple convenience and organization, more than any hacking program released. As more tools are released, like I said before, you'll find yourself lagging out by opening your single programs all at once, or taking hours at a time editing small changes to a ROM because you're so unorganized. Get my point, D-Trogh?

score_under, actually, it is The PokéCommunty's fault. To an extent. It's there TWOCOLUMN tag that's overlapping those. And other than that, you can just zoom in to read the text on the image. I used image text because originally my friend was going to post this for me instead, and I didn't want to lag out sending him the file to post. I'll take off the TWOCOLUMN tags and it should be much easier to navigate. Thanks for the info!

Sebbe, I didn't know you were a member, LOL. Sorry bro! I haven't been in PokeSpam to this extent for a while.

Darcy's didn't have a lot more tools. He had an attack editor and evolution editor added on to his. We'll get those added in the next release, and probably some other cool things you're yet to see released for Diamond and Pearl hacking. God, people loved the idea of SuperPoke before it was released, but when you actually fix all the errors and release it, people complain because I haven't added enough tools to it yet. I have a lot of things to do guys, and I figured an early release would be better than a late release with three or four more tools.

Thanks for all the comments guys, keep them coming!

Now that comment really pisses me off. The rest were fine, but that's just not cool. PokeSpam found all the offsets for most of that stuff first anyway! I'm not stealing someone else's fame? I'm making a program out of data we retrieved with a year of hard work. Get over yourself. Even if we didn't find them all first, it's like you're saying that the second person ever to make a word processor was a stealing the first one's idea. My program provides superior productivity to any program out there for Diamond and Pearl hacking yet. Honestly... Stealing other people's fame? Wow.

Does it really matter? There are plenty of scripting/overworlds editors. I don't see no one complaining.

And your post has what purpose? If you don't like the the way it looks, use a web browser, not a mobile one. You are supposed to post something relevant to the thread; and talking about how threads look on a mobile browser isn't relevant.

Why the .... did you make this from scratch? Pokespam already made one, by darth, and it was allmost done... It had alot more tools + Cool layout (yay)

When that's said... I thought I was a member too?
If I'm not then I want credits for my offset...
*Start crying*


I wich ya good luck...

Um. Yeah... This IS PokéSpam -.-'



Overall there will be haters PokéSpam, but don't let them get to you. Just use the report button. DOn't waste your time flamin, PokéSpam. Not worth it. But I think your tools are awesome. Besides I don't see why people are hating, you're actually saving them time. Instead of using many programs, you can use all of them at one time with this tool. Good job ;)

Thanks Forgotten Memory! I get a lot of the negative comments, but most people like all-in-one programs, and suites. I'm sure we'll get our fair share of positive comments, and I love the negative ones, they make me less bored.

Good work. Good too see this tool released to the public.

I personly like AIO programs especialy this one because its much easyer to use and saves you having to switch between loads of tools. Sombody should make one for the GBA.

Keep uup the good work and looking forward to new tools/updates.

Perfect for what I'm looking for so far. Only thing is I wish there was an option in the Pokedex order to have either the National Dex at the game's start, or editing the Shinnoh Dex so that it could include all Pokemon Data.

Interesting idea. To be honest, I don't think it's possible, though. It would mess up the ROM; no programs would read it correctly any more, because you'd be adding content. I could be wrong though, I'm more of a programmer than a researcher. I'll look into it for the next release! Thanks for your input! :)

Sorry for totally off-topic post, but this is getting to me.
use a web browser, not a mobile one
Use a supercomputer, not a regular one.
You'll never guess that I did work experience in a web design agency that wanted everything from valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and no style="" attributes, to complete compatibility on mobiles, TTS engines, googlebots (yes, these need to read the layout to get an idea of the importance of each part) etc.
Oh wait: this bit is on-topic
Saying that, the "image text" is still completely unreadable (on mobile), unquotable, and un-google-translatable. It also takes much longer to download than text on a bad connection.

Chill score_under! It's a forum release of just-out-of-beta software. When we get our website, it'll be much more accessible then this forum.

And like I said, it was mostly the TWOCOLUMN tags' fault. Also, had you read my post, the "image text" was more convenient to send to Zeikku, because this was initially made to be posted by him, and written by me. I ended up posting it though, so whatever.

No, this is not PokeSpam. This is Sparta! Just kidding. This is PokeSpam software. No, PokeSpam isn't just me, but I'm representing us in this topic...

Thanks Axle! As of right now I'm adding ID. No and experience and Item data to trades, and hopefully starters. And I fixed the glitch where you couldn't edit HM08. Sorry about that.

The tool seems nice. :)
I may not do any D/P hacking until at least a map editor for it is released. :\
I heard from gabe_k that they made some kind of prototype one? :\
Well, have you gotten the codes to make an alpha one?
That would be cool to see a map editor released to the publec for D/P. :)
Anyways, GL with the other tools~
