+# Migration Scripts
+
+## What are migration scripts?
+
+pokeemerald-expansion rewrites existing systems in pokeemerald to improve their efficiency and make them easier to use and implement for developers. If developers were previously using a system that has been deprecated, it can be difficult to manually migrate between systems.
+
+These scripts exist to help developers make the transition between refactored systems.
+
+## Requirements
+
+All migration scripts require [`python3`](https://www.python.org/downloads/) to be installed. Migration scripts are executed by running the following commands from the root directory of a developer's project.
+
+```bash
+chmod +x migration_scripts/*.py ; #give permision to make the script executable
+python3 migration_scripts/*.py ; #run the migration script
+```
+
+`*` will need to be replaced with the name of the appropriate script.
+
+### Item Balls
+
+* Filepath [`migration_scripts/item_ball_refactor.py`](item_ball_refactor.py)
+* Introduced in [Item Ball refactor / Pluralize item names for giveitem and finditem #3942](https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion/pull/3942)
+
+Modifies all item ball scripts defined using to original Game Freak method to the new refactored method.
