+## Watch it in Action
|
|
|
+The video below trades a Bulbasaur from the Flipper to a Game Boy Color with Pokemon Silver. The Game Boy trades its Cyndaquil. The Flipper is then used to modify the Cyndaquil to infect it with Pokerus, modify its EVs and IVs, and have the Cyndaquil hold an Antidote before it is traded back to the Game Boy.

## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
-This is a Pokemon exchange application from Flipper Zero to Game Boy [(Generaction I)](https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Generation_I). Flipper Zero emulates a "Slave" Game Boy connected to a Game Link Cable to be able to exchange any Pokemon from the First Generation (Red, Blue, Yellow) to a real Game Boy.
|
|
|
+This is a Pokemon exchange application from Flipper Zero to Game Boy supporting Generation I and II games; Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal (all non-Japanese regions[^JPN]). It allows trading Pokemon to and from a Game Boy; allowing for customization and/or modification of Pokemon.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+[^JPN]: Japanese releases of all Generation I and II games use a different data layout, this application implements the data layout used in all other global regions. Attempting to trade between a Japanese cartridge and the Flipper [risks corrupting or erasing save data](https://web.archive.org/web/20221009111851/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing)
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Once a Pokemon is traded between the Flipper and a Game Boy the Pokemon is kept in memory on the Flipper. This allows a user to back out of the trade screen on the Flipper, modify the Pokemon, and trade it back. Any of the above customization can be modified and the Pokemon traded back to the Game Boy for updated game play. Want a Pokemon to learn a move before it should? Make a Pokemon Shiny? Change its OT ID/Name to get an exp boost? This is how you do it!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+[^TYPES]: Types are overwritten with the defaults when a Pokemon evolves or at the end of a battle where a Pokemon used a move that would temporarily change its types
|
|
|
+[^EVIV]: EV/IV can be configured in combinations of the following: Random IV, Max IV, Max EV, Max EV for the current level, Zero EV
|
|
|
+[^OT]: Setting this to match the trainer details of the Pokemon game will cause the game to treat the Pokemon as if it were caught by the player rather than traded
|
|
|
+[^IV]: Changing this option will modify the Pokemon's IVs and may affect other attributes that are calculated from IVs
|

|
## Hardware Interface
|
|
|
The Game Boy is connected to the Flipper Zero's GPIO pins via a GBC style Game Link Cable. The [Flipper GB Link module](https://www.tindie.com/products/kbembedded/game-link-gpio-module-for-flipper-zero-game-boy/) is an easy way to connect a Game Boy via a Game Link Cable to the Flipper Zero.

## Installation Directions
|
|
|
|
|
|
-This project is intended to be overlaid on top of an existing firmware repo, in my case the **Release 0.79.1** version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Clone the [Flipper Zero firmware repository](https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware). Refer to [this tutorial](https://github.com/jamisonderek/flipper-zero-tutorials/tree/main/firmware/updating/README.md) for updating the firmware.
|
|
|
-- Copy the "pokemon" folder into the `/applications_user/pokemon` folder in your firmware.
|
|
|
-- Run the command `fbt launch` to run it on your Flipper Zero.
|
|
|
+This application can be installed through the [Flipper Application Catalog](https://lab.flipper.net/apps/pokemon), the [Flipper Mobile Application](https://docs.flipper.net/mobile-app), or a pre-compiled application binary can be found on the [Releases](https://github.com/EstebanFuentealba/Flipper-Zero-Game-Boy-Pokemon-Trading/releases) page of this repo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-```bash
|
|
|
-./fbt launch APPSRC=pokemon
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
+The application can also be built from source using [ufbt](https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-ufbt) or compiling the application against a firmware of choice using [fbt](https://github.com/flipperdevices/flipperzero-firmware/blob/dev/documentation/AppsOnSDCard.md). This will install the application to the `apps/GPIO/` folder on the Flipper's SD card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-- NOTE: If you only want to generate the fap file, you must run the following command.
|
|
|
+Manually built application can be copied to the SD card using [qFlipper](https://docs.flipper.net/qflipper).
|
|
|
|
|
|
-```bash
|
|
|
-./fbt fap_pokemon
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
+<p align='center'>
|
|
|
+<img src="./docs/images/qFlipper.png" width="400" /><br />
|
|
|
+</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
-And use [**qFlipper**](https://flipperzero.one/update) to copy the generated **pokemon.fap** file to the `SD Card/apps/Game Boy` folder.
|
|
|
+## Instructions for Use
|
|
|
+### Main Menu
|
|
|
+From the main menu, select the generation of Pokemon game to trade with, first changing the `Pinout` if needed. Note that Gen I can trade with Gen I games as well as to Gen II games using Time Capsule trade. Gen II can only trade with Gen II games.

+### Pinout
|
|
|
|
|
|
-These instructions assume that you are starting at the Flipper Zero desktop. Otherwise, press the Back button until you are at the desktop.
|
|
|
+If you're using a MALVEKE PCB that is Rev. 2.5.1 or newer, a Flipper-GB-Link PCB, or a custom wired interface based on the [wiring diagram listed here](#how-does-it-work), then there is no need to worry about setting the pinout; the application default is for these devices. If you're using a MALVEKE PCB Rev. 2.5 or older, select the `MLVK2.5` pinout. For custom wired interfaces that don't follow either standard, select the `Custom` pinout and set each pin individually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- If you're using a MALVEKE PCB version, verify the **Pinout** configuration:

In order to reset this nickname to its default, clear the text entry field, press `OK` on the `Save` button. This will fill the text box with the default name. Press `Save` again to set this name.
|
|
|
- - **Note:** The Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ names will not properly render. This is because the Flipper currently cannot print unicode characters to screen. Following the above instructions will fill the text entry field with `NIDORAN ` with a space after it. This space is the unrenderable ♀/♂ symbol. Once traded, it will be correctly named.
|

- - **Note:** Unlike other menus, changing either type immediately saves it. Pressing `Back` will keep any changes. This will be addressed in a later version. If you need to revert to the default types, a different Pokemon can be selected and the desired Pokemon re-selected.
|
|
|
- - **Note:** When changing the type(s), the Pokemon's in-game stats will _NOT_ reflect the chosen type(s). Additionally, these may be overwritten back to default in-game if the Pokemon uses a move that affects types (e.g. `Transform`) or the Pokemon evolves.

+#### Select Types (Gen I only)
|
|
|
+The `Select Types` menu can change the traded Pokemon's types. The type(s) are pre-set to what the selected Pokemon normally is. Gen II games do not store temporary types alongside the Pokemon, therefore they are not kept during trades.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!NOTE]
|
|
|
+> Unlike other menus, changing either type immediately saves it. Pressing `Back` will keep any changes. This will be addressed in a later version. If you need to revert to the default types, a different Pokemon can be selected and the desired Pokemon re-selected.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!NOTE]
|
|
|
+> When changing the type(s), the Pokemon's in-game stats will _NOT_ reflect the chosen type(s). Additionally, these will be overwritten back to default in-game if the Pokemon uses a move that affects types (e.g. `Transform`) or the Pokemon evolves.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!TIP]
|
|
|
+> Pokemon with a single type will have the same type set for both types.

There are 4 in-game strains, the only effect is their default infection days remaining. However, it is possible to select an arbitrary strain, or none, as well as the number of days remaining. The days remaining can be set all the way up to `15`, which is not naturally occurring. In-game, strain `D` randomly infecting a Pokemon has the highest number of days remaining, `4`. If a strain is set and the number of days remaining is `0`, the Pokemon is cured and will no longer infect other Pokemon.

Once the **Flipper Zero** Re-enters the Trade screen, and the **Game Boy** re-selects the trade table in-game, another trade can be completed.

+### Trade PKMN
|
|
|
+The last option in both generations is to start the trade. The first time this is entered the Flipper will prompt to connect a Link Cable to the Game Boy. On the Game Boy, enter a **Pokemon Center** and speak with the NPC at the **Cable Club** to start a trade. Once the Game Boy goes through the prompts to enter a trade, the Flipper will say `READY` and the Game Boy will enter the trade room.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!NOTE]
|
|
|
+> At any point the Flipper says `READY`, the back button on the Flipper can be pressed to go back to the customization menu. Re-entering the trade screen from there will remain connected to the Game Boy.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On the Game Boy, approaching the trade table and pressing `A` will start a trade. The Flipper will display `WAITING` while the Game Boy is on the screen showing both parties.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!NOTE]
|
|
|
+> At any point the Flipper says `WAITING`, the `BACK` button on the Flipper can be pressed to request to cancel the trade. The Flipper will display `CANCEL` and will remain there until the Game Boy selects `CANCEL` as well (attempts to trade from the Game Boy will just be aborted) and the Flipper will revert to the `READY` state. If the Flipper displays `WAITING` and the Game Boy selects `CANCEL`, the Flipper will return to the `READY` state.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On the Game Boy, select a Pokemon to trade with the Flipper. Confirming the trade will begin the trade animation on both the Flipper and Game Boy. Once the trade is complete, both the Game Boy and the Flipper will return to the `WAITING` state. If the Game Boy selects `CANCEL` at this point, the Flipper will return to the `READY` state. The `BACK` button can be pressed to return to the main menu.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+> [!WARNING]
|
|
|
+> At any point while on the trade screen on the Flipper, it is possible to return to the customization menu by holding the `BACK` button. However doing this risks desyncing the trade state between the Flipper and Game Boy.

|
|
+#### Modifying Traded Pokemon
|
|
|
+Once a trade is complete, the Pokemon traded from the Game Boy to the Flipper is kept in the Flipper's memory. It is possible to go back from the trade screen to the Gen I/II customization menu. There, the Pokemon can be modified; e.g. adjust the EV/IV, levels, move set, nickname, OT ID#/Name, etc. and traded back by re-entering the `Trade PKMN` option.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Game Boy should remain on and in the trade room. When the Flipper re-enters the `Trade PKMN` option, the Game Boy can re-select the trade table by pressing `A` at it and the whole trade process can be restarted. If the Game Boy is turned off, then the Flipper currently must back all the way out to reset the trade status so the Game Boy can re-establish the initial connection.

+#### Special Note on MALVEKE PCB Rev. <= 2.5
|
|
|
+Version 2.0 of the Pokemon Trade tool fixes a bug on MALVEKE boards that are Rev. 2.5 or lower where after a trade is completed the `OK` button no longer functions. However, while on the trade screen the `OK` button will continue to not function. For example, if you try to press the `OK` button to turn the backlight on, the Flipper will not respond. The `OK` button functionality will be restored once the Flipper leaves the Trade screen.

## GUI
|
|
|
|
|
|
-To generate the graphical interface, the [**FUI-Editor**](https://ilin.pt/stuff/fui-editor/) tool was used. Additionally, the original sprites from the game Pokemon Yellow, which are found in the [**Disassembly of Pokemon Yellow**](https://github.com/pret/pokeyellow/tree/master/gfx/pokemon/front) repository, were used.

|
|
|
|
|
-For each image, the color `#aaa` was transformed to `#fff` so that Flipper Zero would render it correctly. To do this, a batch process was used in [Photopea](https://www.photopea.com/), the online image editor.
|
|
|
+The sprites for each Pokemon were hand-made for the monochrome screen of the Flipper. The source models are based on sprites from a selection of all Gen I and Gen II games; the ones used we're our favorites. Huge thanks to [ProteanReverie](https://github.com/ProteanReverie) for all of the help and support!
