A storage-system overhaul for the Pokémon Gen 1 Recompilation Project.
Free box paging that never writes your save · grab-and-place rearranging · an inline art and stats panel
Bill's PC+ replaces the built-in PC box screen with a grid interface. Browse and rearrange your boxes freely. It works on Red, Blue and Yellow, and on Gold, Silver and Crystal.
Box view: free paging, grab-and-place with gaps
Deposit view: party row and destination paging
- Free box paging: move the cursor off the left or right edge of the grid to change boxes. No prompt, no save.
- Grab-and-place, with gaps: pick a Pokemon up with
Aand drop it on any slot. Other Pokemon stay where they are, and moves between boxes just work. - Art and stats panel: the selected Pokemon's sprite and stats sit beside the grid.
- DV display: the hidden DV numbers on the stats strip. On by default; turn it off in OPTIONS → MODS → BILL'S PC PLUS → DV DISPLAY.
- Extra boxes: OPTIONS → MODS → BILL'S PC PLUS → EXTRA BOXES gives you 99 boxes instead of 12 (Red, Blue, Yellow) or 14 (Gold, Silver, Crystal), each holding 20. Off by default. Turning it off never deletes anything: Pokemon in the extra boxes come back when you turn it on again.
- Deposit mode: your party appears as a row under the box, so you can pick who to deposit and page to the box you want.
- No saving inside the PC: the PC never writes your save. Everything you do there is kept with your next normal save from the START menu.
- Stays Gen 1. Everything is drawn from the game itself: the same font, window borders, palette and sound effects as the vanilla PC, so the grid reads like something the Game Boy could have shipped.
Mod manager: grab the release zip from
Releases and import it with FIND MODS in the launcher, or drop
the zip into the save directory's imports/mods/ folder and rescan.
Manual: unzip the release into the game's mods/bills_pc_plus/ directory.
Opening the PC shows a menu:
| Row | Action |
|---|---|
| WITHDRAW POKéMON | Opens the box grid |
| DEPOSIT POKéMON | Opens the box grid with your party shown as a row |
| SEE YA! | Leaves the PC |
B from either grid returns to this menu. On Gold, Silver and Crystal the
game's own PC menu asks WITHDRAW, DEPOSIT or MOVE first and opens the grid in
that view.
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| D-pad | Move the cursor within the grid |
| Left/Right at a grid edge | Page to the previous/next box |
| A on a Pokemon | Cursor menu: MOVE / WITHDRAW / STATS / RELEASE / CANCEL |
| A while carrying | Drop: swap if the slot is occupied, place it in that slot if empty |
| B | Cancel carry; if not carrying, back to the menu |
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Left/Right | Move along the party row (what to deposit) |
| Up/Down | Page the destination box (where to put it) |
| A | Deposit the highlighted Pokemon into the box shown |
| B | Back to the menu |
- Save from the START menu. The PC does not save, so quitting without saving loses what you did in the PC along with everything else.
- Gaps are not part of a cartridge save. Exporting a .sav packs each box in order, and importing one fills boxes without gaps.
- Extra boxes are not part of a cartridge save. Exporting a .sav includes only the original 12 or 14 boxes.
- Gen 2: the DV row has no label, and an egg's portrait shows the Pokemon it will hatch into.
