The Gears of Progress

Thank you all for your continued support and here’s to a positive 2026!!

I’m really hoping to get more done with Poké Transporter GB- I’ve been working on a bug that popped up about a month ago that’s been killing me, but that’s how it goes. Language support and alternate transfer methods are still hopefully coming in the first few months of the year!

Happy New Year to those on the east coast! This year has been a rollercoaster overall, but personally I’ve had a lot of positive things to look back on. Hoping 2026 continues in that direction!

I totally get that it’s hard to scrub games of *all* of the data for the DLC, but this really sucks. Looking forward to the Switch 2 era where we can’t automatically leak everything the second the game drops- but that also means no unused data and all that cool stuff :/

Just finished ZA, and I gotta say- I did not expect to like it as much as I did!! I *didn’t* appreciate that the Megas leaked beforehand, and I’ve already accidentally spoiled some of the DLC stuff for myself. Time to go MIA again until the DLC drops- woo see yall in February 🙃

I'm happy to announce that v1.2.0 of Poke Transporter GB has been released!! This update fixes a lot of bugs and changes a lot on the back-end to prepare for language support and alternate conversion methods! You can check it out here: github.com/GearsProgress/…

@Sgocnd That would be fantastic, I'd love that too! From what I understand, the next major thing being worked on for mGBA is a rework of the multiplayer system to allow for online capabilities

@GearsProgress I see. This and connecting online to trade (P2P or hosting a server myself) are also features i'd love for GB/GBA emulation

@VesDegree Poké Transporter GB is a program for the GBA that allows you to transfer Pokémon from Generation 1 and 2 to Generation 3, all with original hardware! If you’re interested, I have a full video about it that I released along with v1.0.0 last year! youtu.be/9mSkGhEYBkg?si…

@GearsProgress Wait so what exactly is this? A tool that lets you transfer pokemon between any pokemon game?

If you want to learn more, you can check out this video I made when I released v1.0.0 last year! youtu.be/9mSkGhEYBkg?si…

@Sgocnd Unfortunately at the moment, there isn’t an emulator that allows connecting a GBA to a GB digitally. I’ve talked with the developers of mGBA about a solution, so hopefully we can figure something out!

@GearsProgress Does this work on emulator?

@kugaku_4 はい！日本語ゲームのサポートはまだ完了していませんが、もうすぐ開始されます！

ポケモン転送GB? …2-3世代の移動!?!?

A major part of this is the "Pokemon Community Conversion Standard" which is an open source library I created for different conversion methods. I'm really hoping this can be something the community can come together on and agree on these methods together! github.com/GearsProgress/…

I am a woman of my word. The Lego Game Boy - with a working Game Boy inside (not an emulator)

@Kensuyjin_33 Apologies for just now seeing this- this is amazing!! I love it so much. Fantastic work! :D

I couldn't find a cover of @GearsProgress Poke Transporter GB. So I improvised one for the cartridge I made, if he agrees, feel free to use it :D #Pokemon #gameboy

Just a friendly reminder that I have moved to "bluer skies", and that if you want to see more of what I'm up to outside of Poké Transporter GB, feel free to follow me over there! My friend and I have a really cool project in the works relating to the GameBoy Camera 👀

As always, save data backups are recommended when using the program since it is still in development. If you have any issues, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me! The latest release can be found here! github.com/GearsProgress/…

Poké Transporter GB v1.1.1 has been released! This release fixes a handful of bugs and re-enables Pokémon Yellow (thanks to a new entry point found by @Timo_VM !). With the 0xFE bug fixed and Yellow re-enabled, my focus has fully become adding in language compatibility

@R0yalBunny_VT Here you are!! Guess I should've started with that haha bsky.app/profile/gearsp…

@GearsProgress Drop the link!

Hello everyone!! Just wanted to let everyone know that I have made the jump over to "bluer skies". Please feel free to follow me over there, where I plan on posting about the development of PTGB, other projects, and more! I do still plan to post about releases on this account.
