As I understand it, there are two saves stored in a gen 3 save--the main one and a backup of the previous save. I accidentally saved my game after doing something I didn't mean to, and am wondering if it is at all possible to access the backup save and get a Pokemon back from there. I couldn't find any information in the editor about this, so forgive me if it isn't possible or if I'm misunderstanding how this works.

Challenge yourself to learn how hex editors work and the layout of the save file -- set the byte width to 0x1000, then you can corrupt the most recent save blocks so the game loads your backup instead.

Save data structure (Generation III) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

PKHeX does not allow loading of the backup portion, only the most recent part of the save.

I guess you could debug the program to tell it to load the not-latest portion, but that isn't something worth explaining in detail.
