[Pokemon] Pokeball change questions - ORAS

So I stumbled on a full-odds dream shiny in BW2, and I was so flustered (maybe 50 encounters out of sheer boredom) that I didn’t think about the Safari Ball I used on it being impossible legitimately. It was traded from the account it was hacked into, but still shows possible cheating. After the fact i’d really prefer a different/legitimate ball, but I also plan on ribbon mastering said shiny. What would changing the pokeball in Omega Ruby effectively do to the pokemon? Will the catch data/met date be changed, even if the pokemon if from a different OT? Or is it better to have an obviously hacked ball if i want a detectably legitimate poke?

HELP Pokemon Black

Hi, I been trying to use the gen pokemon hack on powersave where the # of master ball represent the # in the Pokédex. I’d do it and fix the moveset and ball and when I try to trade it on Pokemon home it doesn’t let me. I used movesets it would know at level 10 but it still wouldn’t be tradable

PowerSaves crashes whenever a game is inserted.

I had powersaves3ds on a MacBook and recently whenever I insert a game, it just crashes and won’t reopen unless I remove the game. I tested a few things and it opens normally without the game, but as soon as I insert the game, it just crashes immediately. I’m not sure where to go from here.

Powersaves 3DS

Hi everybody! I have the same cartridge I used for powersaves 3DS in 2014. I put the files from my old windows vista I downloaded from power saves into a flash drive to transfer to my other windows compatible computer. I don’t have the old cartridge connecter but I have the original email and license key. The files indicate it’s version 1.21.

I bought a powersaves pro usb connector and cart reader and when I had everything plugged in it didn’t work. I was stuck in an endless loop. Any advice would be appreciated. Im trying to use my back up to restore my old save on the original cartridge of Pokémon x.

Getting "The Web Operation Failed Error (1000)"

I looked in this sub's FAQ, did what it told me to, and then had a whole wild goose chase trying to figure out what my account password was to log back in. Finally got all that figured out, and I am still getting the same error. Does anybody know of a way to fix this? Or what's causing it at least? I checked their website and it said that everything was running, and my internet should be ok, but I guess I'm not so sure now.

Possible to decrypt a Powersave .bin? Hopeless I know but I need to ask

so years ago I used power saves to backup my omega ruby cart to trade and retrade pokemon, later on that same year I lost my cart, now that Pokémon bank is getting ready to close I just remembered about some precious pokemon. looking around I see that the general consensus is that if the cart is gone im outta luck. but most of this was 5+ years ago. I know there is very little hope but I need to ask, is there anyway I can save my........well Save?

Do powersaves function exactly the same as action replay did for DS and DSi?

So I remember using action replay to play events in pokemon that I had missed like Darkrai. I heard action replay even the latest one for DSi dont work for 3Ds games. Instead you need powersave? It looks a bit more finnicky as it cant be done on the 3Ds it looks like. Can it do the same thing such as give me the option to trigger events?

Spawn any pokemon code not working

Does anyone have a solution? I'm using pokemon Y, and I do it just like the instructions say. 999x masterballs, discard amount until what you have is the pokedex number, save, apply. I open the game after applying the spawn code, and it doesn't work. I tried it for meloetta first, but I didn't get it. I then figured it was because it's mythical. I do the method again, this time for absol, and it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Is the grass with the flowers on route 4 okay for this?

I bought off of Amazon and it arrived today, however I don't know how to get the licence key to work.

I have a card with the key on it, however that code isn't listed on licence key section, how do I register the key to my account?

Question : Is it possible to transfer a save file made with a powersave to a Citra ROM ?

Hi,

I'm currently trying to transfer my MH3U and MH4U saves from their original cartridges to a ROM on my pc so I can play those games on Citra.

My 3ds is not hacked and I can't really do it at the moment. Also, I would like, if possible, to not hack it at all.

I possess a powersave and I believe it makes saves of your files each time you use it, so I wondered if it was possible to transfer my saves from my cartridges to my pc using the powersave ?

Pokemon Y won't stay stable, keeps corrupting

I have an athentic copy of pokemon Y that I bought in stores when it came out. I have a powersave I bought a long time ago as well. I used to use it with Y and Alpha Sapphire for all kinds of shenanigans. Many years later(Now), my friends and I are doing a soul locke, and my troubles began in the Parfum Palace in Pokemon Y. I guess my 3DS Froze while I tried saving in the garden. So I had to turn it off, and it corrupted my save. I replayed the game all the way up until before that point and used powersave to have a stable checkpoint in case it happened again. It DID happen again. I discovered you can't reupload a save to a corrupt cartridge, so I had to delete my save, and THEN upload my backup to the cartridge and that worked. This time I did not save in the Parfum Palace garden. I played past that point and saved in the pokemon center, since I thought that would be a "quiet" place to do so. I kept playing and playing, and when we were done for the night I saved the game, and immediately uploaded my save with powersave. Today I opened my game and it was corrupted. So I tried to reupload it all again, and everytime I upload the newest save, it's corrupted!!! I can reupload the first save( the one before the Parfum Palace) and it works that way, but why didn't the second one work? Why does my save keep getting corrupted??? What do I do???

What are the capabilties of a powersave on a Pokemon game.

I am looking for a way to inject Event Pokemon onto my game cartidge. I know I could hack my 3ds and use PKhex but I am paranoid that Nintendo would deploy a new update in the future that prevents cfw from using Pokemon Bank. So can a Powersave inject Pokemon or should I just get a used 2ds?
