Pokémon SRM Editor is a save editor for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, the Generation 1 games. It opens raw 32 KiB `.srm` or `.sav` battery saves from emulators, flash carts and dumped cartridges. You can change Pokémon in the party and all 12 PC boxes, including species, level, experience, moves, DVs, stat experience, status, original trainer, nicknames and calculated stats. The editor also covers trainer identity, money, coins, badges, items, Pokédex, daycare, Hall of Fame, event flags and other saved data. Save version history includes diffs and one-click restoration. The web editor runs through WebAssembly without uploading the save file, and keeps the original bytes available to download. The desktop app creates a timestamped `.bak` file beside the original before saving over it. It reports problems such as checksum mismatches and invalid values without preventing file opening or correction. Desktop editions can find Gen 1 saves on Miyoo Mini and OnionOS cards. The app is free for web, macOS, Windows and Linux.
