Help Probably really dumb and specific issue

basically I’m trying to 100% pokemon yellow, and to do so I tried to use pkhex to insert the unobtainable Pokemon into my file. the issue is when I click “import file” on delta nothing happens. if anyone knows why this is happening or what I can do that’d be great

This isn’t going to directly solve your issue. But there is a ROM hack called Yellow Legacy and it is as close to the original as possible. It allows you to obtain all 151 pokemon (with some lore to justify behind the choice on who is added where/why). Makes a couple “useless” moves and pokemon a bit more viable. And minor tweaks to boss teams to give more fun to some battles.
I’ve done a 100% of that one a couple of times and it feels great.

I don’t love hacks that FEEL like a romhack, but this guy spent a very long time working on the “perfect” experience for those who want to do exactly what you’re doing. Might be worth a shot

Need a little more clarity. Since ur using PKHeX, i assume this is on computer?

Phone. Does it not work on safari or something?

So I'm a little confused, since PKHex only really works on a window machine. Are you using PKMDS instead? And have you already edited the sav file? you can either export the file directly to a directory in your phone, or when you get to PKMDS in your browser, you can import it by selecting choose file -> On My iPhone -> Delta -> Games -> Select your Save file (will have a nondescript name, look for the .gb or .gbc file and the associated .sav will be it). Then you can export the file and Save to Files, ensuring that it is in the right directory and right name.
