When you finished editing a pokemon in PKHeX you have to right click a spot in either Box or Party and select "Set" to commit your changes. Once that's done you can then use "Export SAV" to create a modified save file to import.

If you skip the "Set" step no changes you perform on a Pokemon will actually be applied to anything.

Then there's likely the exit save state in the way that's overwriting the main save, as the save state contains its own copy of the sram in it. You could try replacing both save states in the checkpoint folder with an empty file of the same name, restore all of that, and then the emulator should default to the edited hard save.

Basically just create two new text files on your desktop, leave them empty, and change the name and file ending to match the two save state files in the checkpoint folder. Then replace the files in the folder with your newly created empty files. Restore all of it on your 3DS as normal.

If you want to be extra certain that you don't break anything keep a backup of all original files somewhere else, but theoretically nothing should break. I've done similar to move my pokemon yellow save from my flash cart to 3DS and back without issues.

Checkpoint works with 3DS carts, 3DS downloaded software AND DS carts as well.

Thank you!

Create a new folder in the [...]\saves\0x01726 Pokémon Gold, with your modified save file inside, instead of replacing the older. This should be enough. In this way you should see the new save file separately in Checkpoint and you can restore it.

Well, there is one more hard step you can try. Be certain you have a proper backup of your unedited save file somewhere, then go into your 3DS settings and delete the save data for gold there. Then restore the save from checkpoint.
That will definitely flush all extra data from the 3DS storage, but also means it'll remove all traces of your regular save as well.

It seems I just solved it by myself :)

The cia I had was a custom created one, that i just deletet.
I just downloaded out of curiosity a new legit one and installed it
Played a bit with the trainer name "aaaaaaa" and then saved it with checkpoint
edited it with PkHex and reimported it.

now i have a games with name "kitsune" so apparently it worked :)

Thanks anyways for helping
