PokeGen Tutorial

What is PokeGen?

PokeGen is a Pokemon data editor for Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Soul Silver, and Black and White 1 & 2. It works from a computer and can interact with a game by using one of these: an Action Replay, a flashcart, or a GTS sending program.

PokeGen focuses on making Pokemon editing easy, while still keeping Pokemon legal in terms of the game itself. Pokemon generated by other programs are more likely to look “hacked” than a Pokemon generated from PokeGen.

Note: If you are looking for a simpler way to do this right from your DS flashcart check out: PPSE-DS Homebrew.
