Transporter PKSM bank patch

This is a 3DS patch (mostly) written in Rust that patches Pokemon Transporter to transfer Pokemon to PKSM's bank.

Use this at your own risk. I'm not responsible if anything bad happens.

Why did I make this

For the most part I wanted to learn more about rust and write a console patch in rust.

Aside from that, having Transporter dump Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon to PKSM is kind of cool.

Features

• Gen 1, 2, and 5 Pokemon can be sent to PKSM's Bank as Gen 6 or 7 Pokemon
  • Gen 6 if the origin game is Gen 5
  • Gen 7 if the origin game is Gen 1/2
• Use a PKSM bank in PKSM's extdata or on the SD card
• Works with the Transporter save redirect patch

Caveats

Normally Transporter sends Pokemon to bank, and bank sends Pokemon to a game. This means Transporter doesn't have the ability to set certain properties, such as the Pokemon's handling trainer, because it doesn't know what game the Pokemon will be sent to.

This is a list of properties Transporter can't handle or handles incorrectly, and Bank usually fixes:

• Handling trainer information is not set
• Geolocation information is not set
• The PP of a some moves appears to be set incorrectly

Since we're using PKSM instead of Bank, the sections below will address how to fix these.

Setting up

1. Download the code.ips file
2. Put the code.ips file on your 3DS sd card at /luma/titles/00040000000C9C00/code.ips
3. Open PKSM and enable the "Edit during transfers" setting
   • This will set the correct handling trainer information when moving to a Gen 6 or 7 game
4. Create a new PKSM bank called transport

Usage

1. Open Transporter and transport Pokemon like normal
2. Open PKSM and move the Pokemon to a Gen 6/7 game
3. Open the Gen 6/7 game and move the Pokemon into your party
   • Moving the Pokemon into your party sets the PP correctly
4. Use PKSM to set the geolocation info, such as region. Guidance is provided here
   • Transporter doesn't set Geolocation info
