I see people talking about them opening Pokémon Clover save datas, ranging from a few months to like 4 years old talking about using it to edit levels and stuff, so I decided to use it to skip some annoying & slow grinding against the same 4 trainers.
The .sav file will not open no matter what I've tried (including drag dropping the .gba file, and changing game versions)
EDIT: I figured out how to open the .sav file after like an more of tinkering (I've had this issue since like yesterday) by arbitrarily rewriting it from a .sav to a .sav again for some reason, doesn't work perfectly but atleast the issue is solved
