Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Regarding the Backup/Restore saves function: Does it require an active Internet connection? Datel's website says not so, but I read an Amazon review that said everything, including Backup etc., requires an Internet connection, so I'm a little confused. Thanks!
