Be careful what codes you use, some can really mess with your game.

Yes, do be careful. I have had a few bad ones here and there that have messed up my games. Restarting my game usually has resolved the problem, but not always.

Some codes will only screw up your game if they are typed incorrectly or missing a line of numbers. in some cases like this they just done work when you hit the activation buttons.

The code has a specific pattern the nubers are arranged in. if even 1 number is wrong, out of place or missing the AR wont accept the code as long as the code is exactly as it should be it wont mess the game up if you cant put it in the AR.

The best way i think to put your AR codes in is using the AR manager on your computer by copying and pasting them. This makes adding the longer codes to your AR a lot easier.

Manually entering the codes leaves room for error and using the AR manager is also like having a backup file for your codes. because when you manualy enter a custom code made by sum1 else, then later you use the AR manager to update it the codes you entered manualy will be deleted because they are not in the code manager.

Some people who post them on the site sometimes(but not always) make one little error like adding lower case Os instead of the number zero. Copying and pasting is always the best way to post codes fresh from Pokesav cause typing it you can make even the slightest error even though you might not see it or realize it.

the AR wil not accept a code with a letter in it. in the case of lowercase O's and zeros, 1's and lower case L's sometimes look tha same too.

my post is not intended to insult anyones skill at Pokesav codes or literacy or typing ability. i am merely stating that everone makes mistakes and nobody is perfect.
