Datel Power Saves weirdness

[Poketto_Monsuta]

So im pretty sure my cartridge has bricked but for some reason even though my 3ds wont read the cartridge my Power saves dongle still can. Could anyone explain to me what this might mean?

Try starting with what you did to it in the first place.

It might be your 3DS sometimes 3DSes don't want to read cartridges try other cartridges and see if it's your 3DS or your Pokemon Game.

Try using a dry Q-tip or something to gently clean off the contacts of the cartridge. Sometimes that helps.
