POKESAV is a Win32 app for Windows 95 and later that edits save files of specific core Pokémon games, developed by a Japanese programmer known by the alias "COM". There are four different editions of the app, each for use only with the games it targets: the Diamond and Pearl edition is at version 0.40d, the Platinum edition is at version 0.06e, the HeartGold and SoulSilver edition is at version 0.03a, and the Black and White edition is at version 0.06c. POKESAV can also export Action Replay DS codes that, when activated, will provide the same effects in-game as editing the save file.

Because the app is not written in Unicode, it will present either question marks or mojibake to non-Japanese Windows users. To work around this, users of Windows XP may use AppLocale while users of Windows 7 and later may use Locale Emulator. Users of Windows Vista need to change the system's locale (language for non-Unicode software) to Japanese; this method may also be employed in the other versions of Microsoft Windows. Changing the system's locale will affect all apps, however.

A WinRT release of the app for Windows 8 and later has not been developed.

It is recommended that players back up their save files before performing changes with POKESAV.
