PKMN storage System - is it open source?

[pkmntMatt2993]

As far as I can recall, as of Platinum Bebe's code (the most current) is an Bill's edit to Lanette's storage system, which was based of Bill's. (The Japanese version says that Bill and Lanette were codevelopers). The question is, is the Pokemon Storage system open source? If not, how did Bebe get access to the tech and source code?

I don't think so. Probably Lanette just asked Bill if she could upgrade it, Bill said ok, and then Bill updated it again. Then Bebe asked Bill if she could update it, and Bill said ok again. That's my theory (and they're all probably friends).

Well, true, Bill's gift of an Eevee to Bebe seems to confirm that they are friends.

maybe she stole it though...I see a spin off coming...

What, the Eevee or the source code? AFAICT, Bebe is on good terms with Bill, even with the lack of correspondence that can be seen by the player char.

Perhaps it's like GNU.
