PokeReader

PokeReader is a 3gx plugin that allows viewing information about 3ds Pokemon games, such as:

• RNG states
• Party/Wild Pokemon
• Trainer info

This information can be used to RNG shiny and high IV Pokemon, similar to lua scripts on emulators.

Commands

• Start + Up (D-Pad): Show/Hide the plugin
• X + Y: Lock/Unlock inputs to the plugin
• D-Pad keys: Navigate the plugin when unlocked (right & left to get in and out of the different tabs)
• Start + Select: Pause game and enable manual frame advancing
• Select: Advance one frame while paused
• Start or A: Unpause game

Installing

1. Update to the latest Luma or set up Citra.
2. Download the latest PokeReader release.
3. Rename the pokereader.3gx file to default.3gx, then copy it to /luma/plugins/ on your sd card (create the directory if it doesn't exist).
   • Optionally, rename the pokereader.3gx file to plugin.3gx, then copy it to /luma/plugins/<title_id>/ for every Pokemon game.

Building

1. Install rust and the armv6k-nintendo-3ds target, devkitarm, and 3gxtool
