PHBank, also known as Pokémon Homebrew Bank,​ is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for XY and ORAS Pokémon games, just like the Pokébank, but as a free offline service.

This homebrew is not intended to cheat (not even cloning). It's just a storage solution. The source code is available under the GPLv3 license, and the resources are available on GitHub.

Features

• Work on o3ds and n3ds.
• Navigate through the PC boxes of a XY/ORAS save and the Bank boxes.
• Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
• Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
• Select some Pokémon (with buttons) and move them to another box.
• Swap an entire box content to another one (pc <-> bank).
• Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
• Prompt a dialog to save/exit/backup during the homebrew execution.
• Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/main).
• Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bank).

Installation

Note: It is possible that problems such as corruption of save data may occur. Please use at your own risk and always backup your savedata prior (hold L while launching homebrew or/and use tvds/svdt/JKSM).

To install, extract the archive to the root of your SD card. It must contains:

• The homebrew files /3ds/PHBank/[PHBankFiles].
• The cia installer in /cia/PHBank.cia
• The data files /pk/[DataFiles].

To import from previous version v1.1.4-beta-a:

• You can delete the /pkbank/ folder.
