FWIW the devices are identical, the codes are what are different. If you bought one (and need the other) you can apparently email Datel and they will sort it for you.


Thank you. Hopefully I can just get my money back from amazon. Can you order an american power saves straight from datel?

That I don't know. I purchased from Amazon on got the US version. But seriously, there is no need to exchange the hardware. It is literally the same regardless where it comes from. The code is what is different. Contact datel and paste your code into the email and tell them you need it exchanged for the US version.

No sense returning and re-buying... unless you REALLY want to.

I literally just ordered it a few hours ago, so it's not too much of a hassle. Thanks though!

Is there a big difference between this and the "Powers Save Pro" that is coming out soon? Apparently the power saves pro has pokemon codes?...

From what I read it is the exact same thing, just repackaged. The codes are no longer pre-loaded. They are ALL pulled from a server. It is certainly possible that a new hardware (the pro) pulls some exclusive codes from their server. We won't know until it releases. AFAIK it has yet to release and keeps getting postponed. I ordered one at gamestop and then bought on on Amazon. I will probably keep my order (unless they keep postponing it) and see if it's different. If it isn't I'll likely return it or sell it here.

Alright. Gamestop says it's coming out tomorrow so I'll wait a bit to see how good it is. Thank you.

When I talked to the guys at gamestop they said that the 14 would be the day it ships (everywhere). He said that meant they likely wouldn't have it in store for at least a week or two after that. Not sure if that matters to you, just an FYI. :)

not sure how it is for accessories but for games they usually have them in earlier in that week (if it is a big game sometimes two or more weeks before) and for the sake of not having people ask for stuff early say they haven't gotten them in yet and such as i have had a manager flat out say after saying it hasn't come in yet earlier that day that yes they had it in and just have to get them out of the back on release day

anyway the manager at my local gamestop said to call around noon on the 14th

So what your saying is well find out in one more day whether the event codes are pro exclusive or not. This should be an interesting surprise.

unless of course we get an email response sooner from Datel.

Seriously going to be alot of unhappy people if Datel have made this exclusive to the pro. I know its not a great deal of money (for some it is) but its also the principal. These things are meant to be able to be updated with the latest codes

It is amazing how so many people are getting upset at speculation. Haven't Datel already said the hardware is exactly the same? Even if they were to use different software nothing to stop you running both surely? I personally believe they were taken down because of likely pressure from Nintendo and expect there is a good chance we will see them again once they're available in game. I think this would also make sense as to why there has been no code updates for a while. If you are in discussions regarding what codes you can and can't keep, you would not continue to make codes whilst doing so.

There were two different DSi action replays last gen. For some reason on the last firmware update or two Datel gave up support on the first action replay and made an entire new one. A whole new model just for the last firmware of the DSi.

If they can go as far as doing that I have no doubt this is a similar situation, I'm holding back on the torches and pitchforks till we get confirmation from a user with a pro device.

Perhaps, I of course don't know any more than anybody else here. Just trying to not get too caught up in speculation. Feels like it's too early in the powersaves life to pull that kind of stunt, for me personally.

This is a product being sold at Gamestop, their retail partner. Nintendo doesn't want to piss off one of their business allies trying to scrub one of Gamestop's more profitable accessories. The DSi action replay even used a flashcard like game spoof using copyrighted nintendo code * and Nintendo never bothered to block it like they did other flashcards.

There may also have been a lawsuit in earlier days concerning cheat devices and Nintendo lost, but my memory is foggy on that one.

*3 2 1 ... and that lawsuit never came of course

Oh, there was a lawsuit all right. Nintendo tried to sue Galoob when the Game Genie came out on the NES and lost quite handedly. The courts ruled that people can do whatever they want to their game once they have bought it. I would imagine that would stand up today as well.

Yeah and so it should-When you pay £40 for a game,its yours and you can do whatever you want. Stick it up your backside or set fire to it for all I care.

You bought it.You own it. I wouldnt paint a picture and then tell a customer how to hang it or what to do with it. Once the money has been passed,its theres.
