>>16779621Thats when a THIRD little piece of SOFTWARE is made (cough PokeBank related apps cough) to be the transition point for said data! As I said earlier, one could make a program that would take ANY SET of RPG Character data HERE ARE EXAMPLES:
Pokemon any gen, including gen 1
Final Fantasy anything
Earthbound
World of Borecrap
Fallout New Vegas
FUCKING LARN from the FUCKING EIGHTIES
And use it to convert from one to the other, usually monodirectionally. Why one way? because of data inconsistencies. You can figure out how to put your Larn build into the body of a Mewtwo, yes. But back again? No. Why? Because you had to delete some of the data that is in a character file in Larn that isn't in Pokemon. Pokemon don't have every data value, and some need to be translated, and others need to be made the fuck up with a new roll of the dice. But just because we had to lose your Charisma stat, which is the only one that would not translate well, doesn't mean we cant turn your Wisdom stat into a nice equivalent in Special Defense.
Fucking headaches to program, and it would never transfer back cleanly, but all this is possible because, say it with me,
Data is data is data
