>>31443922
What does that have to do with anything? You can do it for free

>>31443901
It's 5 bucks a year, not a big deal.

That reminds me.
Can someone tell me what goes along with the PKSM.zip when I've extracted it into my SD card? It isn't opening when I launch homebrew, am I missing something?

>>31443933
we're not all leet hackers m8

>>31443890
The thing they don't consider is that many players are already "leaving" the games so if they don't hurry up they'll lose a chunk of possible players to trick into buying a pass.

>>31443949
just use fbi and install pksm from the qr code

>>31443954
there's no excuse at this point

>bankfags think you need to be a "leet hacker" to play a sound file on your 3ds
can't make this shit up

>>31443969
Aight fammoli

>>31443977
keep that up and I'm going to embed an automatically playing mp3 that steals your credit card information

also my dad works for the NSA AND Nintendo

>>31443954
>literally just playing a sound file and moving some files to your sd card makes you a "leet hacker"

>>31443977
to be fair, after soundhax theres a bit of work to get cfw

>>31444009
you don't need CFW to use pkhex
literally all you need to do is use soundhax to get into the homebrew launcher and use it to start the save exporter/editor of your choice

>>31444009
senpai its literally just following a guide
sure you move some files around but apart from waiting for the backups and the tickets its really fucking easy (waiting is easy too but its kind of boring)

>>31444009

There's a version of JKSM you can run from the Homebrew launcher, so you don't need to go through the full a9lh+luma steps.

>>31444019
right but transfering via pkhex is annoying especialy if you are tranfering stuff from gen 4 or 5, pksm is fast and simple but requires cfw

>>31443901
there are people on this board right now who actually are so cheap they can't afford $5 a year
Before you go all "Muh principles" the alternative is hacking/jailbreaking
>>31443975
Plenty of reasons not to actually

>>31444037
dude there is no excuse apart from being fucking retarded
>can update 3ds normally after installing cfw
>no chance of bricking
>free games
>homebrew apps and utilities
>takes an hour max

god damn why did nintendo have to hide the sd card behind a screwed on plate in n3ds, for now Ill stick with just hacking my o3ds

>>31444064
modded 3ds can't participate in official vgc tournaments

>>31444118
oh no how will I ever go on

>>31444118
VCG is cancer tho

>>31444128
congratz, modding is a good solution for you then. good for you?

>>31444087

You can just leave the back off during the initial process while you're transferring a lot of large files then use the stock microSD data manager for any tinkering afterward. Most games you should be able to get FreeShop at a reasonable speed so you won't need access to it for that.

>>31444087
use a screwdriver?

>dream ball aegislash
>beast ball porygon

>>31444118
dude... vgc? seriously?

>>31444156
those are hacked pokemon, which doesn't necessarily involve a modded 3ds

>>31444181
Doesn't matter. My point is, they don't even bother checking for illegal balls, what makes you think they check for hacked 3ds? 99% of vgc players inject, do you really think they all use a second 3ds or some shit like powersaves?

>>31444118
>forgoing the ability to make your 3ds into an emulator, free game machine, and in general just a multiple utility tool just to participate in a pokemon tournament

as i said, the only excuse is being fucking retarded

>>31444207
considering that i only use my 3ds for pokemon and will only use it for that id say it is a worthwhile tradeoff

>>31444118
lol vgc

>>31444207
Or buying an used 3ds to hack and one official to compete

as the vgc champions do

>>31444293
yeah that works too>>31444281

>>31444293
buy another 3ds or pay $5 for bank? hmm

>>31444311
What's wrong, are you too poor?

>>31444326
no, its just a dumb way to spend money. both options complete my objective, but one does it cheaply and legitimately while the other is the opposite

>>31444379
> its just a dumb way to spend money
So is bank. If you're going to spend money on something you can do for free, why not go all the way?

Either way we need the updates for virtual console transfers. So all you cheap living in your moms house dont have 5$ hacker fags shut up

>>31444426
Shut up and let people enjoy themselves you petty fool

Reminder PKSM keeps your items while bank deletes them. Also while unconfirmed bank would only allow you to transfer one box at a time, PKSM allows you to do as many as you want.

>>31444399
the only way i could do it for free would be to mod my current 3ds, which would disqualify me from a fun activity

I need to transfer my pokermans without giving up tourney. since there is no viable way to do that without spending money, i'd rather spend $5 than the $50 at least id have to spend on a working ds, plus that method is fully legitimate

>>31444470
>the only way i could do it for free would be to mod my current 3ds, which would disqualify me from a fun activity
I've posted this before in this thread but I'll post it again, just for you.
1. They do not check if your 3ds is hacked, they only check if you have illegal pokemon. Even if they did, it's very easy to hide.
2. You don't need to hack your 3ds to use pkhex, which is more than enough to inject and transfer from other saves. All you need to do is launch homebrew which leaves no permanent trace on your console. Use it, delete the files after and it's literally impossible to know if you used it.

>>31444524
i dont think the risk is worth it, id rather pay $5. and yes, there is a risk. there could be a data variable or set of them that are changed through pokebank transferring to sun/moon that the tools may neglect to change

I don't think you understand how it works, anon.
Each pokemon is only around 300 bytes of data. The developer of pkhex knows exactly what each byte specifies, which is why he could make a tool to both load, save and create pokemon from scratch. There is nothing hidden and there never has been.

Will PKSM fuck up my Pokemon's legitimacy in any way?

>>31443890
>not having cfw
Just install it

>>31444558

>>31444723
Probably not, but I've had issues with homebrew editors like that so I personally avoid it.
If you really care about your pokemon being 100% legal, stick to pkhex stable releases, those never fuck up.

>>31444036
>but requires CFW
I have soundhax but no CFW...yet I'm running PKSM.

>>31444742
What was your installation process? I want to install it as well but it's unclear to me how to.

>>31444740
If I'm just moving them over, I mean

>>31444768

Not that guy but:

>Download appropriate Soundhax file
>Download appropriate otherapp.bin payload
>Download 3ds homebrew starter.zip
>Place all files on the root of your SD card (extract the Starter.zip)
>Download JKSM_3dsx.zip
>Extract and place on the root of your SD card (merge folders)
>Play Soundhax.m4a in the 3DS sound player to launch the Homebrew Launcher
>Scroll down to find JKSM

It will create a folder on the root of your SD called "JKSV", the saves you export are in there. PKHeX should find it automatically.

>>31444768
>>31445026

Oh, PKSM. Apparently I'm blind.

Exactly the same process except instead of downloading the JKSM_3dsx.zip download the PKSM.zip from https://github.com/BernardoGiordano/PKSM/releases , extract and copy/merge the 3ds and servepkx folders to the root of your SD. Ignore the .cia files.

>>31444643
>People argue about fucking pokemon

>tfw just want bank update so my OCD about my transferred Pokemon being illegal right now will go away

That and my collection of event mons from R/B and the Stadium games

>>31443947
It's also a bit of a paradox.

>it's [some not insignificant $] per year

Way, waaaaay too expensive.

>it's "only" $5 per year, $0.0137 per day. Practically nonexistant!

So cheap in fact that it's strange there's a charge for it at all. Should be a one time purchase as a phone app or PC program instead and use your own storage rather than be an ongoing "service" fee, and even then that's pushing it considering you can do the same thing it does for free with existing alternatives.

Also if the Bank service can transfer from one game to another there's really no reason why the GAMES shouldn't already be able to do it. Whatever, it's your money.

I don't like VGC and VGC is shit anyways. Kek.

Bank doesn't delete your items kiddo.

>>31443890
>tfw nintendo isn't delaying bank at all since it's still fucking january

>>31443947
yeah 5 bucks to just use it one or two times to transfer your mon and never use it again, don't even try to lie to yourself that's the sole reason why people use it

>>31444118
>going to those autism fiestas in the first place

>>31444723
I had PKSM randomly prevent my Pokemon from gaining happiness for no reason

Couldn't figure out why I can't evolve my Type: Null for a while

>>31444118
there's an homebrew app that disguises any modding the console has.
also, vgc judges are not allowed by law to inspect your 3ds without your permission.

>>31449213
If you ask an undercover VGC agent if he is one he has to answer honestly

Do all those 5 dollar subscriptions REALLY add up?

>>31449333
Trips here is questioning some shit. I say we investigate and find out what's really going on here.

>>31449345
No I don't mean in a "these numbers don't make sense" way, I mean more in a "is total sum large enough for them to care?"

>>31443922
Why would I?
I've never transfered pokémon I used in some game to another one from the following generation, I prefer them to stay in their original game, so when I pick up it again I can have the pokes with whom I completed it, instead of having nothing in it while my pokemon from that version are being boxed in a newer game.

>tell people you release bank in januari
>come januari first, autists start screaming daily that it's not out yet
>wait until end of januari while bank gets free advertising the whole month
>???

>>31449471
>he plays the game for the story

IT'S 9AM PST ON THURSDAY, WHERE'S THE FUCKING BANK???

>>31449581
As I said, sometimes I pick up old games because I never really complete pokémon games to 100% because I'm not an autist so I've still got something to do, like battle facilities, catching some legendaries, doing some task. This doesn't seem playing the game just for the story at all to me.
It's useless to transfer older pokemon to me, as they would unavoidably get boxed.
Also pre-gen 6 I didn't have any good ''viable'' pokémon anyway as, again, I'm not an autist who lost time into breeding.

>>31444118
yes u can
