Sorry for the slightly off-topic question but...

Has anyone had issues restoring their Animal Crossing save (LNA-CTR-EGDP-AUS)? Were you able to get around them? Currently whenever I attempt to restore a save the application gets stuck at the end of the "Reading Cartridge..." stage, the checkbox for that stage is checked but the "Writing Cartridge..." stage never begins (nor does it even start pulsating.

I just tested Wifi Battle with Shiny Y-Bone Steak (Yveltal joke. sorry.) it worked fine. I lost on purpose just for the sake of making the video.

but turns out you can't even make these battle videos public. so.. sorry about that ._. looks like I failed you this time!...

as consolation I did take this picture! :D...

***Edit***

I just put her on GTS for Hoopa. and it went through without a problem. going to try and trade her to my friend to see if she gets it.

So I just learned something new about GTS when checking this for yas~ Apparently you can upload it to the GTS just fine; but it won't be visable to anyone. so thats a no go. I tried to find it on my other Pokemon games and it wasn't there. I had my friend search and she also says it wasn't there.

Hey guys, quick question. Ordered my device earlier and expecting it sometime next week and I'm curious to where you guys are getting the codes from. Does the software update with new codes automatically or do they have to be put in manually?

The software updates it automatically.

Okay, I used the cheat to make my xerneas shiny, but the pokedex isn't showing all his modes. It shows his Neutral mode, Active mode, and his "Active Mode Shiny" variant. It doesn't show a "Neutral mode Shiny" variant, though. Anybody know how I could make it show up?

But shinyness on Gen VI Pokemon (Kalos bred, Kalos caught) wasn't related to the Shiny value?

To my understanding, in those cases, the cheat would change the Shiny value of the Pokemon (in range from 0001 to 4096 I believe) and make it match whatever yours is. I'm not so sure about this though, since the code also works with previous gen pokemon and those didn't have the Shiny value thing, but SID/PID correlation.

Shininess in Kalos bred/caught is related to a shiny value.
To be precise, the shiny value is derived from the TID and SID relationship with 0-15 (out of 4095). (total 4096 slots).


If we look back at the fundamentals of how the game recognises a Pokemon to be shiny:

TrainerID xor SecretID) xor (PersonalityValue>>16 xor (PersonalityValue mod 65536)) must be less than 16,
This results in a probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096


From what I read, Datel is trying to maintain TID of the Pokemon.
So either the SID or the PID is changed.

Either it changes the SID, so that after the xored it'll be in the range of 0-15.
Easy test: As the SID of the Pokemon itself (not the trainer) is changed, the trainer shouldn't be able to rename it.

Else, it's the PID changed to fit the TID and SID.

(but I remembered reading it to be SID that is changed..)

I mean, this powesaves thing
Its a tool to allow backup and restore of your gamesave data on 3DS games (not sure if it works on DS, never tried), as a bonus you are able to cheat too, unlike previous generations of cheating this device saves the data for cheating onto your gamesave rather than modifying the RAM. This is a better method to hack since Datel never has to worry about firmware on the 3DS, the only way they could be stopped is if Nintendo were to distribute future games with better encryption.
