Game-Changer for Pokémon Fans

Having max items, fully unlocked Pokémon, and boosted stats available from the very start of a new game completely changed how I replay the series. The setup took less than ten minutes and the codes downloaded instantly. Highly recommended for any serious Pokémon collector.

Excellent Value for Multiple Games

I own a large 3DS library and the PowerSaves device covers nearly every title I have. Max health and unlocked levels in Hyrule Warriors Legends, gold cheats in Dragon Quest VIII — all worked perfectly. One device for all my games is outstanding value and the code library keeps growing.
