Two Years Ago, I Asked If Pokémon Red Saves Could Be Converted to FireRed… Today, It Works!

Two years ago, I made this post⁠ asking whether it would be possible to continue a Pokémon Red journey in Pokémon FireRed

Today, I’m happy to say that I built it!
pkmn 2.0 can convert a Pokémon Red save into a working Pokémon FireRed save. Think like how you migrate your iPhone 13 to an iPhone 17 Pro. You get back all your data (not only iCloud) with the added 17 Pro features. The same way is what my project successfully does. It’s able to transfer your entire save progression from pokemon red to fire red. No one has ever done it and I though this would be an
Amazing project because I have dreamed of playing my pokemon red save on fire red without having to replay the game (I could have just replayed cuz it could have taken less time but doing this project now anyone with a click of button can convert their red save to fire red!)

Red and FireRed have completely different save structures, so this isn’t a matter of copying bytes from one save to another. The converter instead translates the meaning of the Red save into the corresponding FireRed state.

It also generates a conversion report explaining what was transferred, what had to be changed, and what was safely defaulted when the two games don’t have a direct equivalent.

I tested the complete conversion in an emulator: the converted save loaded successfully, the Pokémon and supported progress appeared correctly, and FireRed could save and reload normally afterward.

The project is free and open source, and it does not include or distribute any ROMs.
GitHub (pls star and share the project so people can hear about it): https://github.com/AAAMAQ/pkmn-cli

A huge thank you to everyone who encouraged the original idea, the pret decompilation contributors, the Pokémon Community Conversion Standard and Poké Transporter GB teams, StrategyWiki contributors, and everyone else who helped preserve and document knowledge about these games.

I also used OpenAI Codex as a research and engineering collaborator throughout the project, while I directed the work and personally performed the gameplay verification. There may be glitches or issue, if any is there feel free to report it!

Two years ago, this was only an idea.
Now it works. ❤️🔥

I LOVE YOU FIRE RED!

Less go just got the new chapter printed!

Don’t spoil me yet.

But I gotta say; the cover might be the best one yet ! Imagine Kurapika sees his best friends head being toyed like that while the entire phantom troupe is also there at the same time. That shit is gonna burn Kurapika 💀

Anyways if anyone wants to know how I do this booklet;

User Hakuneku app on Mac or windows and then use mangaread (https://www.mangaread.org/manga/hunter-x-hunter/) then what you do is their will be jpegs just use online pdf converters and then use this (https://bookletfree.com/) or (https://online2pdf.com/en/create-a-booklet) to convert those pages into booklet so you can read like normal.

This is how I do it; it just takes me like 5 minutes , and if you have a printer it’s worth while. I personally feel that HxH manga has to be read and enjoyed in paper rather than digital…

Good luck guys. May the ship don’t sink.

I see a lot of videos where they compare AI making games.

I’m curious, what programming languages do AI systems typically use? Is it just JavaScript, Python, or C++? Or do they actually create code or work with engines like Unity or Unreal Engine? For example, Codex can build iOS apps instantly. So, I’m wondering if these AIs are using engines to develop games, or are they primarily working with web-based games or Python games?

I’ve been watching a lot of Minecraft AI videos, like those featuring Claud Fable/opus Z.ai and GPT.

Also, to create games with this kind of vibe coding, do I only need Codex + other dev apps (VS Code, Terminal, GitHub …) ? And what plugins do I need in Codex to create games with this vibe code style?

(I’ve been a loyal subscriber to ChatGPT, so I’m not going to Claude Code.)

I just saw this In my box.. brought me back 15y ago😭❤️

Anyone remember this, if you know you know elite ball knowledge. I remember my mom buying it for me and I asked for 2 ; she only bought me one and I promised to never loose it. Here I am 15y later keeping her promise.

❤️

Not gonna lie toys and retro stuff make me nostalgic as fuk. These shit when I keep them, I mean it I genuinely love collecting stuff.

Trying to identify a TMNT 2012 spinning-top toy from my childhood

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to identify a TMNT toy from my childhood for years, but I can’t find any photos or references to it online. I’ve searched all over the web and still haven’t been able to figure out the toy line’s name.

Here’s what I remember:
It was from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 Nickelodeon) era.

It had something to do with Mutagen capsule.

The toy came in a Mutagen capsule/canister-like container.

You would twist or open the capsule and press a button.

A very small spinning top (about the size of my thumb) would eject from the capsule and start spinning.

It was similar to a miniature Beyblade.

I’m pretty sure it was NOT a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy because I had happy meals with the bikes.

The biggest clue I remember is that I had a Krang. My mom only bought me a single one.

The spinner itself was extremely small and looked like Krang’s robot body with Krang’s face/head visible.

Basically, it looked like the Krang android body from the body up to the face. The figure was connected directly to a metal tip underneath, and that metal tip was what allowed it to spin.

When I ejected it from the capsule, it would spin, although only for a short amount of time. I distinctly remember the tiny Krang robot figure being attached to the spinning tip itself.

I’ve searched for TMNT tops, spinners, Mutagen toys, Krang toys, and Beyblade-style TMNT toys, but I still can’t find the exact toy line.

Does anyone know what this toy was called?
If anyone recognizes it, could you please post a picture, catalog scan, commercial, packaging photo, or an image link? Even a blurry photo would help confirm whether this is the toy I’m remembering.

I have the latest ChatGPT subscription and even then it’s not able to show me which one any idea ideas what the set is called. Also, I’m currently not in town to search all my toy boxes that I have so that’s why I’m asking what it’s called.

Thanks!

1–1 is one of the most iconic levels, of course.. It started the gaming world we know as of now and definitely Angry Birds had to take inspiration from the big daddy Red Luigi himself.

I’ve been playing Angry Birds reloaded to rekindle my childhood and I’m truly enjoying this game. It’s actually one of the best Angry Birds game Rovio could ever make. Its quality and no shitty ahh adds.

Daddy Shiggy is one of the best game designers ever! And his role will never be forgottten

Never knew there was a Reddit for something like this where you find face out of weird items (I kind of have obsession with it because I like to find faces)… well this is a photo that was taken back in 2020 where I saw a trashcan with a couple of toilet paper which perfectly makes a face … kinda looks like the toilet trend where they put toilet papers on top of the toilet to make a face kinda like 🧻🚽🧻

Not gonna lie this is one of the best piece of HxH music… Drop your favorite HxH Soundtrack music too!!

Well, the soundtrack does not come from the actual anime, but in fact, it comes from the movie that a lot of people discount it..

I really love the Phantom and the On Gon movie cuz the soundtrack is PEAK..
