Understanding PNB Issues


Frequent PNB Opening Issues

Pokemon NetBattle Removed

If you attempt to load your PNB file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PNB Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Pokemon NetBattle isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your PNB with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PNB, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Pokemon NetBattle is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Pokemon NetBattle isn't able to open your Pokemon NetBattle Data file due to incompatibility. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Pokemon NetBattle. Your Pokemon NetBattle Data file was probably created by a newer release of Pokemon NetBattle than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PNB file and clicking "Properties".


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening PNB files are due to having the wrong version of Pokemon NetBattle installed.


Other Causes of PNB File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Pokemon NetBattle will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening PNB files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:

  • PNB file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The PNB file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Invalid installation of a PNB-associated program (eg. Pokemon NetBattle)
  • The PNB itself is corrupted
  • Your PNB is infected with malware
  • Device drivers for PNB-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Pokemon NetBattle Data file successfully

Poll: How often do you encounter a file extension that you don't recognize?
