How to Put Pokemon Saves From a DS to a Computer

The Nintendo Dual Screen (DS) plays commercial games and games saved on a microSD card. A microSD often contains a Game Boy Advance (GBA) or Super Nintendo (SNES) emulator, allowing you to play GBA or SNES versions of "Pokemon." When you transfer your "Pokemon" save from your microSD card to your computer, you create a backup file. Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to backup the save files from a commercial version of "Pokemon."
