Is it possible to use (US) saves on a (J) version of the game?

I was just wondering, because I have heard of some versions working better on my flashcart. Less freezes, better patches etc.

well im using my U save for my english patched J rom of pokemon. so im guessing yes

Yes Most definitely- just rename the saved file to exactly that of the other ds game

Do I just have to rename the name of the save to the same name as the rom? Like for example, Pokemon.nds and pokemon.sav?

I REALY WANT TO COMMENT ON THISYES all you have to do is RENAME the ROM SAV FILEbut do you know WHATS COOLER THEN THAT

i learned from playing Fire red Leaf greenWent and started Fire redCaught Arbokthen change the save file namethen caught Sandslash (a LEAF GREEN exlusive (or its the other way around ) you get my point)then i changed it back to the original name
and its fine

Can we use a Japanese save on a US ROM?

Normally I'd say no, my (E) saves on games don't work on my (U) games, something in the programming...I would advise (because I don't swap E with U often on ds-I know this is the case with ps2, ps1 and gamecube games) to just TRY it and post back results (for those asking).
