What is a .EK6 file?
The .EK6 file is a type of save file specifically used by Pokémon video games from the 6th generation. These games are played on the Nintendo 3DS system and include titles like Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The .EK6 file keeps track of various details about the Pokémon in the game. This includes the Pokémon's name (nickname), how much it likes you (friendship), the language it was caught in, what type of Poké Ball it's in, its performance in contests, and the information about the last player (handler) who took care of it.
To open or make changes to a .EK6 file, you can use a program called PKHeX. PKHeX is a tool designed for players who want to manage their Pokémon collection more efficiently, allowing them to edit various aspects of their Pokémon, such as their stats and abilities. It's like PokeGen, but for the 6th generation of Pokémon games.
Additionally, with PKHeX, you can also create .EKX files. This is done by first making an .EK6 file and then changing its file extension to ".ekx." This feature is useful for players looking to manage their Pokémon in different formats or for specific purposes within the community or game.
