Perhaps you are not interested in this, but it would be fantastic if this could also turn into some guide for newcomers like myself, not just for the people currently using it. Perhaps adding an extra section explaining what it is, what it does, etc.

I am a complete newb at all-things-Pkmn, I finally understood what powersaves do like an hour ago, I thought that it was only for cloning Pkmn, but as it turns out, you can modify a Pkmn with no limitations. As a newcomer, it saddens me to see so many people trying to get the quick way on one of the most popular games of the entire planet, they are areally missing the point and all the fun. I mean, the story itself, either the manga or the anime is about raising, breeding and capturing all Pkmn, I think that many, if not most people that play Pkmn games have lost the essence of the game, that is truly pitiful.

I've been playing AS for a month, I have finished the game and now focusing on completing my Pkdx. It is fun! And I have found a love for breeding Pkmn, I even opened a Giveaway thread to share what I consider good and strong Pkmn for the people that want to compete but don't have good IV's on their team.

One day I will take my team to a competition, and obviously lose, but those Pkmn will be my own, bred, hatched, and raised to their maximum potential. I will be very proud, the point is having fun, and make friends; but now people focus on competition and "I am better than you".

I always wondered why I was getting Wurmples on Masterballs on World Trade, now I get it. At one point I considered those trainers to have made a mistake with their only one Masterball. Haha.  :P
