You need:
* 1 Pokesav program
* 1 .sav for either Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver
* 1 Action Replay Code Manager
* 1 ARDS
* 1 Game flashcart or Diamond or Pearl.
* 1 USB cable to connect your DS with.

Getting the files:
I have compressed all the files you need into a .rar format so when you download just right-click and extract. Click one:
- Pokesav for Diamond and Pearl with .sav
- Pokesav Platinum with .sav
- Pokesav Heartgold and SoulSilver & Pokemon HeartGold.sav / SoulSilver .sav.

How to use:
First open up your .sav for Pokemon D/P/Pt/HG/SS. Now I will show you how to edit a Pokemon in your party but this is basically the same concept for editing anything else.



Now click Edit on any of the party pokemon numbers.



You must modify everything that is in the orange circles. Don’t worry about the red circles, unless you really want to modify those. Only fill in the yellow circles if they apply for the pokemon your editing. Do not mess with the green circle. When you are done click the purple circle (Ok) in the picture.



Now click “AR DS Code Output” on the Pokesav program to the left.



Next, click on the thing you modified. It could be anything not just the thing I’m showing you. Please the the words underlined which are VERY important when activating codes. When your done choosing the thing you modified click on "save file".



Save it somewhere where you can find it, name it relevant to what you modified, and make sure you are saving it in XML file format. Once you are done click "save".



Now that you have made a code for what you did, find where you saved it and right-click, "open with>notepad". On notepad it will show you two codes, one for Diamond and one for Pearl. Copy the one that your game is for. If your using Pokesave platinum it will only be one.



Now open up Action Replay Code Manager and click on your Pokemon D/P/Pt/HG/SS. (OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED) Make a folder named "Pokesav Codes". In that folder right-click, "add new cheat" (make sure your ARCM is updated to do this) and name the code and paste the code you got from notepad onto the "cheat codes" field. When you’re done click on "OK".



All you have to do now is connect your DS via USB and drag the codelist you just added the cheat to, under the "Nintendo DS" section. Click on yes then no. Now just wait until your codelist finishes uploading onto your ARDS! Keep in mind that if you activate more than one code you made with pokesav it will freeze your game and what you did during the session will not save because all pokesav codes have the triggers L+R. Although you could modify this by coping another code with different activators I don’t recommend it for inexperienced ARDS users.
