    I heard that some games can work like that.
    Just by changing the save name to the same name of the ROMs.

    Never really tried it though.

    I believe it works just fine on the Pokemon games, but the pokemon names will still be in Japanese when you change to the English ROM. (Others have said that).

    It worked fine when i did with diamond, pearl and platinum, the one thing is what TirithRR siad, the pokemon names will stay japanese until either they evolve on the english version or you rename them using the name rater (you can change to the english translated name). HG and SS are pretty much the same game, the only differences i noticed from playing and reading about them is that each version has exclusive (wild) pokemon and respective events (for legendaries). example: SS will have Lugia, Groundon, Weedle while HG will have Ho-oh, Kyogre, Caterpie

    Has worked with Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts in my experience. I'm hoping it will work for HG/SS as well, since moonrunes aren't my native language and I hate translating in Versus battles. I'll survive either way, though.
