Mew_3

Thanks so much for the replies. We thought about it for a few days. My son was just bursting to try Pokésav and tonight he looked up some YouTube videos on how to edit characters. He was convinced he knew what steps to take and used a Magikarp as the base for the edit. Once he had the code generated via Pokésav, I used an XML editor and added the necessary code components to the Codejunkies US Pokemon Soul Silver codelist from his DSi Action Replay (C:\Program Files\Datel\Action Replay DSi Code Manager\local_codelists). Once edited, I deleted the Soul Silver code list off the DSi AR cart and uploaded the edited codelist from the PC. It worked. He turned the Magikarp into a shiny Darkrai Level 100 with all kinds of powers. He is so thrilled. He must have thanked me 10 times so far. But really, he did most of the work! I'll bet he's up at the crack o' dawn tomorrow smiling and using his new Darkrai to wreak havoc! He said to tell all thanks for the replies on this forum. Ah, to be 10 again!!! I only had Vectrex at that age. Google that! :cool:

Greetings from a 'somewhat techie' dad. My son is 10 years old and has a Nintendo DSi with Soul Silver, Diamond and Pearl, and Platinum. He desperately wants to create a Mew 3 character / Pokémon sprite. Has has a DSi Action Replay cartridge and USB cable, and we have downloaded Pokésav. Upon reading the FAQ, I'm confused. A lot of this stuff is over my head. I want to help him out, but unsure how to get an editable file from the game or Action Replay cartridge into Pokésav. I don't want to screw up his game just to try to create a custom character. Question for the experts ... is 10 years old way too young to be messing around with this stuff? He's on the cusp of understanding a lot of this and through YouTube is finding out about all kinds of customization. He really wants to do it but I'm afraid a lot of this is over my head. Any feedback appreciated. He is obsessing over Mew 3! LOL.
