You cannot play edited ROMs without being kernel access, which requires 9.2 or below.

Smea may have a trick up his sleeve to play edited games, but his solution is not public.

Grrr why does Nintendo make it so difficult to have fun...

Hmm who's Smea? Do you think they would would help out (if there is a trick)?

So with Animal Crossing New Leaf if you have a 3DS version 9.5 or below you can use a simple RAM dump and injection method to edit your games save file.

Bookmark websites for dumping & injecting ram > load game & make sure you can move around > go to browser & go to ram dump link "browser will crash" > save game & power down console > put SD card in computer & edit save file (either Hex editing or in program) > replace your old save on SD card with new hacked save file > put SD card back in 3DS & load game > go to browser & click the injection link "browser will crash" > check your changes & save if you like them.

So with XY I'm really interested in randomizing the Pokemon, starters & in-game events, trainers Pokemon, and encounter Pokemon, just like you can do with the universal randomizer for B/W2 and below. I have a 3DS with firmware 9.4 and a powersave if necessary... however the only option I can find for randomizing the 6th generation games is pk3DS which looks awesome but requires firmware 9.2 or below and a gateway flashcard (I don't have either of them nor do I want to put the money into getting them). I'm only interested in randomizing the game to play a nuzlocke in my free time and after going over my options Pokemon Y is a game I haven't played in forever and I'd love to do my first nuzlocke with 3D and fairy typing!

Does anyone know of an easy method to do with like the one for Animal Crossing New Leaf? Thank you for all help and suggestions!
