 In 2005, Datel released a new device for use with both the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] called the {{wp|Action Replay Duo}} (also known as the Action Replay Max). This new device enabled users to modify GBA games like the ordinary Action Replay for GBA; however, it also had the ability to save your DS games onto a computer using a USB cable. Using this method, users could backup and restore saved game files. However, the device does not recognize any Pokémon save data located in its slot, and has caused much outrage among fans for this reason. Despite numerous updates to the device, there has been no explanation given as to why the device ignores Pokémon games.

-[[Pokésav]] is a user created program that can generate codes or modify save files on {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Once the user has saved their file to a computer, the program opens up and allows the user to change a variety of objects and events in the game, such as money, items in the player's bag, and even the player's name. The user can also make the desired changes and then generate an input code for the DS which will do the same thing, only without the use of the save game. However, Pokésav is more commonly used to modify, or outright hack, Pokémon.
-Pokésav can either modify an already existing Pokémon in the player's game, or create one from scratch. The user can then modify almost anything, including [[Alternate coloration|shininess]], [[effort values]], [[individual values]], [[level]], [[Natures|nature]], and even [[ribbon]]s or {{pkmn|contest}} ranks, along with a number of other things. The program can be used to create the perfect Pokémon with no signs of hacking at all.
-===Legitimacy controversy===
-Because Pokésav has the ability to create technically perfect Pokémon, a number of players are against Pokésav. They think that it ruins the entire spirit of the game, as it gives those who spend time {{pkmn|breeding}} and raising their Pokémon through hard work a new hurdle of possibly facing a perfect hacked Pokémon that only took a few minutes to make.
