You don't have to decrypt your savegame, scroll down the first post, there is a save game editor you can download which take care of that.

I tried to add Pandanoko!
Did you click the apply button in the Medallium tab?
As for Yo-kai, I recommend editing existing Yo-kai instead of creating new one because there are some unknown values (not shown in the Yo-kai tab).
as OP stated, have you tried adding it or editing an already catched Yokai ?
I've not tried adding yokai, just added items, so can't help you more than that.

Sorry, I meant decrypt/encript save on Windows with the commands written by togenyan.

You don't have to use the Python script if it is too troublesome (how to use -> https://github.com/togenyan/yw_save/blob/master/README.md); just dump the save and open it with any of the save editors, and re-save as decrypted (last option for save editors 2 and 3). To re-encrypt follow the same procedure but this time use the previous to last option when going to File. If it sounds complicated, just upload the save (all files) and I'll decrypt it for you. Although I'm not sure why you don't just use the editor themselves to edit the save as well as they all have a hex editing tool.

I have the save editor and .sav, but as you know, the editor works with a specific format and I don't know how to transform .sav to .yw
If you or someone provides me the tools and instructions, I'll do it myself.

Oh, I don't have Gateway, exploit or whatever. I only have Sky3ds.
So, is there any method to decrypt/encrypt from pc?

Sadly, there is not much else I can do to help you then. I don't know of a tool that does exactly what you want without some workaround. :/

There is no reason to fret over it as this is code in the public domain (meaning everyone can see how it works), so someone would have already reported (including myself) if any dangerous code was included. And yes, it does (no reason not to) work on Win10 as I've tried it myself.

Thanks so much for this, Togenyan. It's excellent.

I do have a request, however: would it be possible to modify values for which Yo-kai Cam daily rewards have been done? I'd preferably like to be able to claim the rewards too, but it's just frustrating trying to get things like Daiz or Espy which people don't seem to have working photos for, and not ever being able to complete the Yo-kai Cam rewards.

I'd also love to have the ability to modify Yo-kai attitudes or at least reset the flag for whether or not they've had "A Serious Life" (loaf less) used on them.

Oh, and being able to edit what is at Wayfarer Manor would be really nice, but I have a feeling that would require editing Streetpass data, which would require more than just editing the Yo-kai Watch save.
