First step, installing the HBL and getting the save manager (for no CFW users).

  1. Download the starter kit from http://smealum.github.io/3ds/
  2. Drag all the files inside the .zip to the root of your SDcard.
  3. Download the JK Save Manager and drag it to 3ds folder on your SD card.
  4. Nowput your SD to the 3DS and go to Home settings, at right top corner, and choose the option to change a theme, then select the default. You have to do this even if you already have the default one upon to create the necessary files.
  5. At the page where you get the starter kit, choose a way to enter the HBL, browserhax is the most common. If you have the browser blocked you may use CN or Oot.
    + For browserhax, enter to the browser (9.9-11.x must have the tubehax DNS, 107.211.140.065 on fisrt and second DNS slot) and clrear history and cookies, then go out, open the camera (L+R), select scan QR and scan http://yls8.mtheall.com/3dsbrowserhax_auto_qrcode.png
  6. Once you are on the HBL, select the menuhax manager app and select install.
  7. Now, to boot the HBL you have to press "L" while turning on your console (you can configure that withmenuhax manager app).

Inject with the Homebrew Launcher:

 1. Enter the HBL and select the JK's save manager.
 2. Pick the game by moving left of right with D-Pad and then press A.
 3. Select Export (back up) and new slot if you don't have any.
 4. Now there shoud be a folder in the root of your SD card called saves, with one or more folders called CTR-numbers, open one of these to find inside the folder where you saved the save, called "main".
 5. Open the "main" with PkHeX and edit stuff there.
 6. When you are done with editing click File, then export SAV and select "main", save it one the same folder replacing the old main, but make a back up if you fuck it up.
 7. Go to the HBL again, open the save manager, the game and then select "Import/restore" and select the slot you saved the main to.
 8. ????
 9. Enjoy.

  - How are illegal pokemon made?
  + Rename PKHeX to "PKHaX.exe"

  - My game got corrupted or someshit, what can I do?
  + Fix the secure value with: https://gbatemp.net/threads/antisavegame-restore-secure-value-updater-ps-acnl-prw-ssb-xy-oras.396644/
  + You can delete your secure value so this won't happen you again.
  + You can check this GBAtemp threat for more info: https://gbatemp.net/threads/deleting-the-secure-value-in-9-5-or-9-9.396335/

  - Can't run PKHeX because I'm a plebian that has Linux/Mac.
  + Linux: use wine with winetricks dotnet40.
  + Mac: use wine and install .NET Framework 4.0 and run it directly through wine instead of making a "Wine.app".

  - What's wrong with X app? When I try to enter it just show a red screen and do nothing.
  + Get a new boot.3dsx at http://t.co/CcwCrAnGIj

  - I made it all and I don't have my shiny fe.male Goo.dra!
  + The Save Manager app is new, it may took some tries.
  + If you're on a digital version youy might have to change the security value.

  - How do I find my SID I'm too stupid to think.
  + Check a Pokémon of yours and go to the last page.

  - I can't use my pokemon online because I'm a terrible scrub.
  + Check everything: EV spreads, Items, Ribbons, Moves, Abilities, (Egg) Met locations, balls, etc.
  + AND FUCKING MEMORIES. All Gen III-V pokemon and Gen VI Event pokemon (notOT only?) must have only notOT memories.
  + The rest of Gen VI must have OT memories and notOT ones if they aren't yours.
