    I was tremendously inspired by the latest Pokemon Bank update to write this script. Currently this reads a Gen 1 savefile that is placed inside a directory.

    Note: to avoid breaking codes, set the thread to Printable Version.

    Modify PokeBattle_Pokemon to enable the number that identifies the generated Pokemon, which explains the extra attribute.
    Add the following in the attr_accessors area of PokeBattle_Pokemon:

    Add the following methods above def timeEggHatched

    Inside def initialize, add the following line, below calcStats:

    Old version of this thread:
    Spoiler:

    To-do on this script:

    • Actually remove the transferred Pokemon from the Gen 1 save file (this can be made optional)
    • Reading of Gen 2 savefiles
    • and more features not yet known

    Huh this is really cool, I'm definitely going to try this today!
    I would suggest making the removal from the save-game an option though, in case people want to the preserve the save game as is.
     
    how does one use this script ?
    I have tried calling the script "Gen1Save.new" and "Gen1Save" but no luck.

    Those are only utilities, you need to create your own "scene" for that.
    Here's a sample scene:

    Can somebody help me on making a sample scene for transferring, when I try to insert the scene into a script it doesn't load onto it.

    Do you initialize the scene somewhere?
    You have to manually call the scene if you want it to show.
     
    Updated the first post to allow the transferred Pokemon to keep the moves it had before transfer, and allows transfer of an entire box.
    Also included a sample scene in the first post.

    EDIT: Fixed a crash when trying to transfer Pokemon with less than 4 moves. Also, can confirm that this works with Pokemon Yellow.

    Script Call:
    Code: 
    s = PokeTransporterScene.new
s.pbVariableScreen(26)
v = $game_variables[26]-1
s.pbPokeTransporterReadGen1Save
s.pbPokeTransporterGetWholeBox(v)

    New Def for Utilities:
    Code: 
      def pbVariableScreen(id)
   value=0
  if $game_variables[id].is_a?(Numeric)
    value=$game_variables[id]

    I was thinking of a list of boxes though, but this will also do.

    Also, for those who had an error regarding the Gen 1 Trainer name, I added a fix on the Utilities that resolves the issue. Check the first post.
     
    I'm getting a couple different errors:
    The line "pokemon.generated=1" is giving me an error in Essentialy v16.2 unmofidied, as is the function "retTimeFormatOne" in pbSaveAfterMigrate.

    Also, it may be silly, but I've made a "completed" Pokemon list that also brings over glitch Pokemon, converting them to their Gen II counterparts.
    Because I had a couple of glitch Pokemon in my save, and it was messing with things.

    Of course, it'll still glitch out if said Pokemon known moves beyond a4, but I just filled those in as Pound.

    However, I notice that nicknames do not carry over... I suppose that's intended for later?

    Added on how to fix the generated attribute error in the first post, since my intention with it is to make the Gameboy icon appear on the summary.
    Regarding nicknames, it is intended for later.

    EDIT: retTimeFormatOne is used in shiney570's BW2 mod. Looks like I forgot to filter that part out.

    Since Gold and Silver already have Virtual Console releases, Gen 2 support for this script is currently being worked on.
    Also, I need to test this if it still works on Essentials v17.
     
    Hey there! I know this thread is pretty old now, but I absolutely love this script! Thank you so much for this, and I am definitely looking forward to more features if you are planning on continuing this script. It'd be amazing to get those features you were planning! :mudkip-smilesquint:
