For me, it did give me all the pokeballs, items, and tms/hms, but i cant seem to figure how to make the pokemon work. its the only thing that doesnt work. i compared HG/SS Pokesav and Platinum Pokesav side by side so I could try and figure it out, and I did, but when I pressed l+r in the game and went to my party of pokemon, it wasnt there.
