Homebrew Is there a list of which games save data in Extdata?

[TheWolfLord]

I just want to know which games utilize extdata/save to it in some capacity so as to know which ones need a backup.

Most games don't use extdata for anything important.
As far as games that save all their data to extdata, I only know of Fantasy Life, but I think there's at least one other.
Anyway it's a good idea to backup both extdata and save data whenever you back up saves with JKSM.

Do you know if the pokemon games save anything to extdata off the top of your head? I would assume not, but I have no idea if maybe they stored some data relating to the friend safari/bases or whatever(I don't think these examples make sense actually but you get what I mean).

I think the mystery gift data is stored there. Maybe some other stuff.

Doesn't system settings tell you?

Sun/Moon never even used extdata for me, as far as I know. I checked a few times by trying to back it up with JKSM. But WeedZ might be right, as I don't think I checked after receiving a mystery gift.
I have no idea about the other games.

I think it does, actually, but I only ever go into System Settings to add a wifi network (the limit of 3 at a time is really annoying)
