Readme for Pokémon Save File Reader

by Lyndon Armitage

This is a HTML5 implementation of a Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow save game viewer (and possibly editor in the future). Made for fun, and educational purposes only.

Current Version:

Currently in the very early stages of development. Can currently open a .sav file and read the following:

• Trainer Name
• Rival Name
• Trainer ID
• Time Played
• Items in Pocket
• items in PC
• Money
• Checksum
• Current Box selected
• Pokédex Owned and Seen stats
• Basic Location support (x, y, and map id)

Other:

This page is useful for The structure of Pokémon Red/Blue & Possibly Yellow save files. Although not all of it's data is accurate.

I have also created a small Hex Viewer using the HTML5 File API and Storage API that let's you view a files contents and write notes. Note that this may crash your browser for files with a lot of bytes (i.e. bigger files). I have only tested it with .sav files which are 32kb large.
