(Bad organization, bad links, uneeded opinions (bias)... Translation info isn't really notable IMO. Nintendo's ban on "hacked" Pokemon belongs better in some more general topic)

'''Pokésav''' is a program that edits save files for Pokémon games, developed by a Japanese programmer by the name of COM. There are currently versions of the program for editing the save files of {{game|Diamond}}, {{game|Pearl}}, {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|HeartGold}}, {{game|SoulSilver}}, {{game|Black}}, and {{game|White}} games. Save files may be backed up from a commercial cartridge using a flashcart such as the R4 or a cheating device such as the GameShark Duo. Pokésav can also export [[Action Replay]] DS codes that, when activated, will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

As of October 31, 2010, the latest Japanese version of Pokésav is 0.06c of the program for Black and White, and there have been no new versions since. This may be influenced by the increasing threat of Japan's internet piracy laws, as well as the increasing use of a similar program, PokeGen.
