"Unable to create/write to backup file"

[Tacanacy]

I've copied the game file to my PC, opened it in the PokéGen program, created a Pokémon in PC, box 1, and when I attempt to save the game, it will not save.

When I "Save [save file]", it doesn't save. I've tested it by inserting the game into my 3DS.

When I "Save [save file] as...", this error message appear:

Unable to create/write to backup file "C:/Users/Tacanacy/Desktop/PokéGen-filer/White Game File 6.bak"

Better explanation

There's a slight bug in Pokegen, where if you save your save without an extension, a backup will not be made. To get around this, be sure to save your saves as SomeName.sav

I'm having the same problem as tacanacy but with 3.1.13

This happens when you haven't saved the game (with the in game method) yet and only have save states, You should be able to take a save state and create a new save from it, if you have saved in game before though
