BlossomsPokemonGoManager

BlossomsPokemonGoManager is a tool created for managing your game. It allows you to sort your Pokémon by several values, to rename, transfer, evolve or to power-up one or several of them.
It was made for easier management of Pokémon, deciding which to keep, and which to throw away.

Working on this project

Developing

We are open for any help on our tool.
If you are fond of programming, you can always take one of the open issues, post that you want to help and create a Pull Request. For other features PRs are welcome too, but make sure the feature is really needed and/or not done in another way so that the work isn't wasted.

IMPORTANT! Please submit Pull Requests only against develop! PRs against master will be rejected.

Thanks for your help.

Submitting Issues

That's the best way how you can help us.
If you found a bug, submit an issue. If you have a suggestion, submit an issue. Just make sure, BEFORE SUBMITTING, that the issue wasn't already mentioned. Search on the issue tracker helps there. Just one thing: Please try to not group too many bugs/suggestions in one issue It's better to have ten more issues where it's clear what there is inside than to have one big blob. So don't hesitate to create more than one issue.

If you have Bugs, please be as detailed as possible.
Write down the steps that led to the error. Describe what happened, and what you would've expected. If there is an Error written somehwere, post the full code in your issue. If you want, include a screenshot. And if it's a bug with the development version, specifiy that right at the beginning of your issue.

FAQ

General Questions

Q: Can I get banned for using this tool?

• A: Yes. No. Maybe. It's possible, but no one can really answer that exactly right now. Read the Disclaimer a few lines above this FAQ.

Q: Can you add catching of Pokémon and using PokéStops?

• A: No. We'll include lucky egg support for evolving, but that's it. We are not just another botting tool. We want to keep the use of our tool as fair as possible and just make managing Pokémon easier.

Q: Can you include feature XY?

• A: Maybe, yes! Submit an issue explaing your suggestion as detailed as possible. We will look over it and see if we will include it and when (:

Q: What's those RunOnXXXXXX bat and sh files for?

• A: Uh, glad that you asked. Yeah, you can run the tool simply by executing the jar itself, but you should use the bat file for Windows systems and sh for Mac and Unix/Linux. The scripts set file encoding, so that special characters are displayed correctly in the tool.

Troubleshooting

Q: The app doesn't start. It tells me Could not find or load main class ...?

• A: Java 8 is not installed (correctly). Download and install the latest Java JRE release.

Q: After login no window shows up, or the window is empty. No error is displayed.

• A: It's a small bug with the current config. Go to your folder where the .jar file is and delete the config.json.

Q: When I try to login it shows an error with AsyncPokemonGoException and that I should try again. What should I do?

• A: At first, try again. No joke. Clicking OK and logging in again works most of the time. That's why I made the retry possible. If it does not work after several tries, there could be another issues. In nearly all of the cases the issue is caused by a VPN, Proxy or Firewall you use. Try deactivating them.

Q: On startup it shows NullPointerException and in the stacktrace there is something about writing files or such. What's happening?

• A: The tool needs rights to write in the folder where it is in. That means it does not work under C:\Program Files or such. Put the tool in a place where you surely have rights to write. For example the Desktop.

Q: Java 8 is not available for my linux system. What do I do?

• A: Read up Install Oracle Java 8 (JDK8 and JRE8) in Ubuntu or Linux Mint on how you exactly do it.

Q: Google OAuth Token does not work. How do I use the App password thing?

• A: You have to activate 2-Step-Verification and then generate a password for the app on your Google Account: Read how that works on the Google Help Page.

Questions about functions

Q: Is the IV calculated somehow? Is it the correct value or maybe wrong? My IV calculator says something different.

• A: The IV isn't calculated, it is directly taken from the API response. It's the exact value like the game has it.

Q: What is this alternative IV calculation mode? What does it do?

• A: Usual IV rating weighs every three values the same, so 1/3. The alterative mode takes in mind that attack is more important when calculating things like CP of the Pokémon. For a detailed information and a real-life example see the issue about it: #165

Q: Those Gym Offense, Gym Defense and Duel Ability columns. I don't understand them. What's that?

• A: Oh man. Those are complicated calculations, but really helpful. Gym Offense means how good your Pokémon is to attack, Gym Defense how good it can defend one. Duel Ability just means plain attack power. Now the important thing is that those columns with the "Rating" suffix compare your current moveset and stats to the best possible version of that Species you can achieve. Like how good is your Vaporeon compared to a 100% one with Hydro Pump. The other three columns compare to the best possible that exists. Which one that is, that's printed in the console when you start the tool. For more information behind the calculations You can look here or google how Professor_Kukui's formulas are.

Q: I heard I can use the Paid Hash Key service with your tool so that I have the latest cracked API. How?

• A: At the moment, you have to add the key manually to you config.json file. Open it, search for the "login" node and add it like below. Important is the "pokehash" node. The rest are your current login informations and can be overwritten. Check here if you want to acquire such a key or want to know how it works and what it is.

  "login": {
  "pokehash": {"key": "YOUR_KEY_HERE"},
  "saveAuth": false,
  "google": {},
  "ptc": {}
  },
