Online GTS
Introducing a public board for Cards. Leave a Pokemon on it for anyone to take, and take what other people have left.
Open it from the new row above the game icons, before picking a game - the board carries every game at once, and what you take off it is saved as a Card. Nothing to set up.
Browsing
- 60 Pokemon on screen at a time, one panel, moved through like a box
- L and R page through the board
- The line under the grid says whether the Pokemon is legal, which game it belongs to, its nature, ability, IV and EV totals and held item
- 'A' opens the full detail view, the same one the boxes use, with the game it belongs to shown in the corner
- 'Y' saves it as a card in
cards/<GameFamily>/, ready to import into a save
Searching
- Species, game, shiny, egg, minimum IV total, and newest or most downloaded
- The species picker is the one the box search already uses
Depositing
- Deposit lists the Cards you have already exported, from every game folder at once
- The Card is read and shown in full before anything is uploaded
- Depositing the same Pokemon twice does nothing: the board keeps one copy
Legality
Every deposit is listed straight away and marked as "not checked".
A legality checker goes over the board every 15 minutes and marks each one "legal" or "illegal", so a new upload is usually judged within the quarter hour.
- Browsing shows legal Pokemon only, unless you turn that off in the search filter
- Something marked illegal cannot be downloaded at all, even if you were looking at it when the verdict landed
Your identity on the board
The board knows your deposits by an id kept in sdmc:/config/pkHouse/gts_id.txt. It is generated on first use.
Nothing about it is derived from the hardware: no serial, no MAC, no account id.
Improvements
- Refactored the bottom hints bar to display controls in a more user friendly way
