NDS Adaptor Plus and Black 1 Game Sync ID

[Abra Kapocus]

I recently started a new game in Black 1, with my old save backed up, with intentions of visiting the Dream World for the first time to get a Nidoran Male with Hustle, only to realize for the first time that a new game file means a new game sync ID... which cannot be changed on the global link website... (what were they thinking when they did this? Honestly)

So then I reloaded my old file via my NDS Adaptor Plus, with the expectation that my Game Sync ID would also be saved within that old file. So I went to the Game Sync only to find that it needed to be recharged. I know it's been two days since I changed the clock, so what gives?

I read somewhere that using external devices can permanently make the Game Sync be "out of energy." Does this include swapping save files via the NDS Adaptor Plus? So... am I hosed? Or does swapping save files merely count as "using the game in another DS?"

Save swapping shouldn't make Game Sync run out of energy, unless something else happened too. Maybe you loaded the cartridge on a different DS than you saved on before. Maybe you edited something that interfered. Maybe you used the full Pokedex cheat.

The only thing I used that could be quantified as a "cheat" would be the Wondercard Editor. And, no, I used the same DS every time. I honestly don't know what happened.

The things I go through for the ideal team... I just want a Sheer Force Nidoking...

[edit] Perhaps because I swapped back to my old save file AFTER I changed the clock, it counts as "using it in another system." I'll have to try it again tomorrow to see if it works.

So what happened?
