Same-save editions
Some pairs write byte-for-byte the same save, so the file alone cannot say which one you play:
- Ruby / Sapphire
- FireRed / LeafGreen
- Diamond / Pearl
PKForge asks you once, the first time you open the save (or guesses from your own Pokemon if you choose Decide later). Change it any time with B on the cartridge > Set game….
Language
Saves from every language PKHeX supports can be opened. The PKForge interface itself is in English.
