## What it is
PKSM is a multipurpose, portable Pokemon save manager and editor for generations I through VIII, written in C++. It runs on Nintendo 3DS custom firmware or Rosalina-based homebrew launchers and supports on-the-fly save editing, offline storage, QR injection, custom scripts, and data legalization.

## Use cases
- edit pokemon save files on 3ds
- inject wondercards from old events
- store pokemon in offline boxes
- scan QR codes to inject pkx files
- legalize edited pokemon data
- run custom scripts to modify saves
- manage saves from cartridges and digital games

## When to choose
- you need to edit or manage Pokemon saves from Gen I to Gen VIII on a 3DS
- you want offline Pokemon storage and wondercard databases
- you need scriptable save injection or QR-based pkx import

## When to avoid
- you want to edit saves on platforms other than Nintendo 3DS
- you need a tool that works without custom firmware or homebrew
- you expect built-in legalization servers without hosting local-gpss yourself
