Love Pokemon and want more extensive ways to customize your creatures? Anyone with a computer can easily install pkhex, a simple to use editor that generates Pokemon for you, allowing for you to edit any save files across all generations of Pokemon.

Pkhex is composed of a simple set of tabs where you can edit all the information of your Pokemon. When you first launch the downloaded application, you can easily set all the stats you want, program custom attack, power, and meta data for your Pokemon. Species, nickname, experience level, nature, abilities, disease, and friendship level information can be easily changed at any point. Users can then export their Pokemon into a file that generators use, creating a QR code that can be configured to load right into the Pokemon game.

Though the pkhex interface can be challenging to understand at first, it is ultimately an easy to learn editor. The application works with any computer operating system based on Unix or Windows. Developers just need to download the working repository from github using a simple homebrew installation, or less techy Pokemon fans can choose to click the download button. With infinite options for customizability, pkhex is a scalable solution to the classic problem of Pokemon editing.

Users who have trouble with set-up have access to a huge community of Pokemon pkhex fans and developers who can lead them through any setup issue, big or small. Simply google the pkhex Discord server to find the answer to any question, discuss changes to the pkhex interface, and interact with a friendly user base.

For some, pkhex may be difficult to learn at first. Unfortunately, users must learn how to save decrypted files and work with complicated load files to use the application to its maximum capacity. Although it's simple to customize Pokemon once you're in the app, it's hard to port the Pokemon to other compatible technologies. Regardless, pkhex is currently the best solution for Pokemon editing and saving, is the most widely used tool in the community, and is simple to use once you understand how it works. For serious Pokemon fans, pkhex is a must-have.
