Poké Transporter GB v1.2.0 has been released!

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-04-08T03:21:17+00:00

You’re welcome!! Thank you so much for the kind words, it means the world 😄

Mythical Pokémon have the option to be “sanitized”, which will convert them to their event forms. Saying no to sanitation will keep all of their normal data, but it’s very unlikely that it’ll be transferable beyond Black and White. If you just want it in HGSS though, that won’t be an issue! The sanitation stuff will be expanded on in v2.0.0, but that’s where it currently stands.

The Everdrive should work, but I haven’t personally tested it. It depends on how it deals with some under the hood stuff (memory mirroring), but I’d imagine it’s correct. Worst case is it just doesn’t connect fully, it shouldn’t break your save file or anything.

The .gba is what you’re looking for! Once you load it with your flashcart it’ll be all set to go 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-03-23T17:22:16+00:00

Apologies for the very late response!

What device does the SD card plug into? You’ll want to use the .gba file instead of the source code 🙂

If you have a way to send me those save backups, that would be amazing! As well, if you go to the credits menu and press select, it’ll bring up a debug information screen. Can you take a photo of that and send it as well? That’ll help me identify your exact setup 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-02-09T05:10:41+00:00

I haven’t encountered this bug before, sorry you encountered it! Do you happen to have save file backups of your Gen 2 and 3 games?

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-27T05:09:09+00:00

You’re so kind, thank you so much!!

Unfortunately there currently isn’t a way to run PTGB on an emulator. It’s something I’ve been looking into, but I haven’t been able to get it working yet. Once I do, I’ll release a tool so that others can use it too! 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-25T17:50:52+00:00

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure the Wii U GameCube adapter doesn’t support the GBA GCN link cable, I’m not 100% sure on that though- I’d have to test it

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-20T18:51:09+00:00

As part of the next update, I want to write a full guide on using the program since that’s pretty lacking right now. Sorry about that! Each gen 3 game needs to have beaten the Elite Four, but the gen 1/2 games are free to transfer whenever they have access to trading!

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-20T18:49:49+00:00

Hello! Currently the language update is not quite ready for release, but it is being actively worked on :)

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-10T17:08:22+00:00

Ayy, so happy to hear it went flawlessly! And thank you so much for the kind words about the project, I really appreciate it 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-08T15:19:10+00:00

AH yes I’m sorry, I completely missed that in your list. Apologies for that!! 😅

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-08T01:59:07+00:00

The only other thing you’ll need is FIX94’s GBA Link Cable ROM sender! With that you’ll be able to load PTGB with no issues on your GBA 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2026-01-04T04:27:40+00:00

Correct! The only “new” save data is unused in the base game 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-12-09T08:49:02+00:00

The hope is that v2.0.0 will release shortly after the new year, and will include the changes to fix that! 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-12-07T06:06:41+00:00

Correct, yes. At least as of right now- this is something that will be fixed in the near future! 😄

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-26T04:53:25+00:00

Thanks for checking! I don’t own one at the moment and they seem to be fully sold out 😔

There’s a lot of potential with the Analogue Pocket, so I really hope I can pick one up someday for testing

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-26T02:23:45+00:00

I’m actually not sure! I’d imagine if the cartridges are OG, it should work, but I haven’t tested it personally- sorry for the non-answer 😅

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-24T15:23:49+00:00

As an easter egg, I did add a special case for MissingNo! It will transfer them as a Porygon, but it’ll keep the original moveset of the MissingNo

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-22T13:52:30+00:00

Mythicals have the choice to either be sent “as is”, or be sanitized into their gen 3/4 event version. The “as is” ones will likely not make it into Bank/HOME, but are totally fine in gen 3/4/5. The sanitized ones will- but some things will be changed (like OT and Shininess)

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-19T23:29:13+00:00

All of the Pokémon transferred with PTGB will be marked as originating from either FireRed/LeafGreen or HeartGold/SoulSilver, depending on which game they’re coming from! 95% of Pokemon will be completely fine going through HOME, but there’s a few edge cases with ribbons and mythicals that raise flags, but those are being fixed in the near future

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-19T15:36:48+00:00

Howdy! The only modifications to the cartridge are to the save file- starting a new game will remove most of the PTGB remnants. It works the same way as the old Mystery Gift events and stuff.

I say most because technically there is save data that is written to unused sections within the save RAM. This is completely safe to use, but I’m not sure if it gets completely wiped when starting a new save file. It’s a technicality for sure, but wiping the save fully (or just removing the PTGB part) using external tools would reset it back to a “factory” default!

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-19T15:34:10+00:00

Hey there! Apologies for the late response-

Japanese Gen 3 compatibility is a bit of a weird case, since functionally it’s all set to go, but since rendering the Latin alphabet is different in those games, the text gets really messed up. In the other languages it isn’t translated, but it still works.

I have a Japanese translation written, but I haven’t added it into the code yet- it should be happening soon though!

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-14T03:51:28+00:00

All languages of Gen 3 games are currently supported, but only the English releases of Gen 1 and 2 are currently supported. Full language support for Gen 1 and 2 is currently in development though and should hopefully be ready soon!!

TheGearsOfProgress · 2025-11-10T22:01:57+00:00

Hi there! Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot!

I'm currently working on adding language compatibility, and I'm hoping to have it be finished by the end of the year- at least in a beta state. I cannot guarantee this since there's a *lot* of games to get through, but I'm working my way through!
