I agree, but I do find it odd that those restrictions are in place. I think it does make the encounter a little more epic to approach from the bottom than from the side. I'd think most people would naturally approach from that side, anyway, but I guess maybe if a player doesn't have Cut on a Pokémon, they'd be more inclined to take the long way around than teach the move to someone?

So you might've made Furret forget cut for something like surf, while in battles cut also kind of sucks unlike surf that's a solid water move with plenty of pp).

My most valuable and unique Pokémon: a legit Gen 3 English Celebi. I got it from the 10th Anniversary Event. My mom actually drove me to another city to attend an official Pokémon convention/event at a mall. People got to vote for which Pokémon would be given out, and Celebi won the top spot so all attendees got it. It's one of my most important Pokémon. I remember being on Pokémon forums and no one else would have one, made me feel so special~

That’s an incredible relic! My Pokemon event journey sadly started in Gen 4, and I have modt of the events from that gen still intact, and multiples of them due to having multiple games. But gen 3 always remained a mystery due to my country never having the events… exept one painful memory where I actually missed a 10th anniversary event by 5 minutes..😆 but it was the European one, I think it was the same pokemon but missing the Celebi you are talking about. The rarest things there were Lugua and Ho-oh which I never had access to either. Only last year, I managed to get my hands on the Gen3 event data cartridge which contains many of the event codes, and for the first time ever, I was able to distribute the Aurora Ticket and other event items, as well as some other events like that EU 10th anniversary pokemon, to my 3rd gen games via Mystery Gift. It’s incredible to experience that the same way it happened 20 years ago. I’ve since distributed them to some of my olf friends who still had their games, since they were also only drooling for those events back then. Celebi is the only Pokemon I still don’t have access in those games, honetsly considering getting the Japanese bonus disc and japanese colosseum just to be able to get a legit Celebi but man, that’s tough requirements lol

Not really. Your third option is using your brain but I guess that is hard. Just clone them with literally one of the 500 methods you can do that.

With Pokemon Home, Pokemon have separate movesets for every Switch game (barring Let's Go and SwSh sharing one). Movesets from Bank and Let's Go are also applied to the SwSh moveset. This means any exclusive moves from older generations are only usable in SwSh. Your Kanto Birds and Lugia will still know them in their SwSh moveset, but since they can't learn those moves in BDSP or SV, they will not be able to relearn them in those games or any other future games unless they are given the moves again.

@grydon6422

@Regiultima Not completely true. While SWSH doesn’t completely rework movesets like SCVI, they did already delete moves from existence like hidden power, Pursuit and most reöevant to this topic, Psycho Boost; since Deoxys was not in the game due to dexit, the was ”no need” for Psycho Boost to be in the game. So yes, you can transfer Psycho Boost Lugia to SWSH without worrying the move gets deleted, but you cannot use that move in gameplay, the move is greyed out and the game suggests you to delete the move yourself.

*The ribbon challenge is still doable for every Pokémon, just gotta get every ribbon from their native generation and up*

The fact that the developers didn’t consider special Pokémon with special moves relearning them in the latest games/storage service shows they gave up on the idea of bringing those special friends with you through every game.

​@yukihoshikawa Unfortunately because of the way that pokemon home determines legality, you really can't transfer pokemon up without pokemon bank. When a pokemon first gets sent to home it receives a home tracker that it will need to be considered a legal pokemon. If it has information such as a catch location that can be located in the game that you are trying to upload it from it will be labeled illegal and can't be transfered to home. The only way for pokemon which were caught in gen1-7 to obtain home trackers is to send them through bank. Yes you can still use your pokemon locally if you send them through pkhex, but they will be barred from online play. Without pokemon bank, you will need to do extensive editing to legalize the met location, moves, ribbons, memories, etc. So that Home will think that they came from a newer game and assign a Home tracker. At that point it's barely the same pokemon anymore in my opinion so this method is essentialy useless.

I find that My Pokemon Ranch's Phione is quite special actually, for two things: -Cherish Ball -Hayley's ID which is 01000 I played MPR on the japanese version to use my japanese Platinum and got all the trades to transfer them to home, the mew is quite special too, Hayley's name in japanese is Yukari, as a random fact

Good catch, I don't know how I forgot about that! 😂 I can relate with your Infernape; I somehow lost a Manaphy that way, and I don't know how kid me managed to pull that off.

HOME stores the movesets for each Pokémon separately for each set of games. SwSh retains the moves the Pokémon had in Bank, but every other game has its own separate profile. If you move them to SwSh, they should still have the moves they had in Bank (i.e. the special moves from Colosseum/XD). The HOME relearner only lets you teach it moves that it can learn in the game that you're moving it to. You can only teach level-up moves or moves it knows in other games, but the Pokémon _also_ has to be able to learn the move in the game it's being moved to in order to be able to teach it. So since Lugia cannot learn Psycho Boost in SV, you will never be able to have Lugia with Psycho Boost in SV. Moving to SV doesn't affect the SwSh profile though. By default, HOME displays the profile for the game the Pokémon last travelled to, so if you're bothered by a Pokémon not showing their special moves in HOME anymore, just send it to SwSh and back again, and the default HOME profile should return to the same moves it had in Bank.

The fact that they chose to make Bank free after the eShop shutdown and Bank accessible after the 3DS Online shutdown shows that they care about retaining access to Bank. They are likely going to give us at least a six months notice before the shutdown. I'm hoping for at least a year myself. Also, if you are taking the remaining days seriously (where it shows a question mark before two numbers), we at least have 1000 days before shutdown. What is likely happening is that number likely resets and they will keep Bank active for as long as possible. As for the video, I like how you mentioned some unique, low level Pokemon and Pokemon with unique moves. Unfortunately, if they enter Gen 9, their moveset is overwritten, but thankfully that's only when they are in a Gen 9 game. If they return to Home, I believe they should get their original moveset, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, this shows that Game Freak/TPC isn't really interested in maintaining those unique moves inside the newer games, though they have to for Home.

@yukihoshikawa

I think the remaining day counter in Bank was originally set to 65535, which is probably the highest number that can be assigned to that value. Whether that means they intend to keep Bank open as long as they possibly can, or they intend to shut it down, but don't know when, is unknown. As for that last bit, I transferred a Lugia from XD into gen 9, then back to home, and I couldn't have it relearn Psycho Boost - I show this off in the video towards the end of the Colosseum/XD bit.

The Japanese Steelix from the demo would require a trade to a NA 3ds, unless your nintendo account is a JP account, as you cant login to an NA account on a JP 3ds.

Unless they remake them (fat chance), BW2 has a couple of unique mons - N’s pokemon as well as a couple of shinies for completing the dex and doing that one battle facility in Black City/White Forest

I remember walking past the shrine again and again pressing A on it hoping that my game would trigger a glitch so I could finally catch the Celebi and then I finally got it on the VGC on my 3DS and it was shiny too!!!! 😭😭😭 I cherish my pink little onion fairy 🧚‍♀️

11:15 And imagine having lost your 3ds with all the cartridges, meaning you lost basically every Pokèmon you had since you were a child... yeah, imagine...

Oh no! 😔

Patrat is catchable in X and Y. So you can get it in Master Balls in those games too.

Something I probably should mention is that you can in fact catch a patrat in a master ball in go

That's true, and something I did forget about, on account of not having played the game in several years, before Master Balls were introduced.

I have a feeling once Pokémon Legends ZA and Generation 10 games are out, that’s when they will pull the plug on Pokemon bank. All Pokemon will be available on the Switch as of ZA. If the leaks about the Switch’s successor are to be believed, it will be backwards compatible and we will be using the same Nintendo ID system.

Yes, homebrew and the like allow you to bring over stuff regardless of generation, but I did say in the video that it'd be impossible to bring Pokemon from Bank to Home in a "legitimate" way. That doesn't include stuff like using Checkpoint and PkHex.

It's surprisingly inaccessible to mod your New3DS tho. You need a type of screw driver you most likely do not have lying around to get the Micro SD because they for some reason decided to make the slot be internal rather than external like on an old 3DS. If we ever get to the point of reproduction 3DS models being made, I'd hope fans do not carry that design choice over.

Man, the end got me in the feels. My first Pokemon was my beloved Sceptile. He was transferred up to Gen 4 and at some point throughout the years the save file was reset. RIP my friend.

Pokemon Ranch, Hayley's Phione is actually pretty special because it's the ONLY way for a Phione to be in a Cherish Ball instead of a regular pokeball.

Once we lose Bank, this means Gens 5 and 6 will lose their interactivity, and the Gens will be split off from 1-2, 3-5, 6-7, and 8+ It will effectively be another stonewall like Gens 2-3 were, only on a much bigger scale. For as much as the Pokédex becoming too big was an obvious problem, I don’t know if many people were thinking about this. Now all my Pokémon will be stuck in Gen 5 just because there’s no internet support for the feature. But hey, at least Black 2 & White 2 will keep them busy forever and ever ❤

Very eloquently put. I like that point about Black 2 and White 2 - with the sheer amount of stuff that's packed in those games, it's far from the worst game for Pokemon to be stuck in.

While it definitely is an issue, the longer the series goes on the more niche needing to transfer from so far back becomes. I don't agree with it, but seeing how the series is going it almost feels like what GF has done with the bank/home situation is a courtesy to the old fans more than anything. Not many people are hardcore enough or even own all of the equipment to send their mons GBA and up. Gen 5 is a great resting place though. So much fun to have in there.

Im so glad i prepared my 3ds for the big shut down. The problem is so little time to hunt 😢 It should be noted that greninja loses battle bond if you transfer to home

I'm gonna be trying to catch all the pokemons I don't have for my home living dex and if I decide I'm crazy enough I'll be trying to do a shiny living dex minus the shiny locked mons

Typhlosion was my first level 100 and will always remain my favorite pokemon(preferably the old sprite where his flames was always out) what about you guys?

I'm going to shiny hunt up the wazoo when I get the time, magicarp swap method in SM/USUM and GSC's egg farming are still I believe the easiest shiny hunting methods, along with the fishing chains but I think I caught all the shinies I want via that, all fish. Also making teams for specific characters, like I test ran Red in Yellow version, is his GSC/HGSS (HGSS, since in GSC he has Espeon instead of Lapras... and that didn't exist in RBGY lol being a gen 2 Pokemon) team, doing that with all protagonists/rivals, are their teams truly capable of beating the game. In middle of Kris, but Red 100% stomps the elite 4 and champion, specifically that Lapras, it and Charizard are all I really needed.

Careful while transferring event Arceus it loses it's event moves too

Don’t forget shiny poipole in gen 7! Specifically the ultra games. Still the only way to shiny hunt it currently

I'm doing a shiny living dex but after bank closes I will loose a bunch of easier ways to get some mons, or the way to get them at all (I'm 69% of the way in) Also I wanted to do a ribbon quest with a shiny Heracross from Collosseum but that will take ages so... I'd also love that the day that bank closes the community manages to get some transfer shenanigans

Worst case scenario, you can use things like Checkpoint and PkHex to get Pokemon off of DS/3DS games, but it'd be hella neat if there was something a bit more... simpler than that. Not that it's terribly complicated - there's just a lot of steps involved.

I keep forgetting you can technically shiny hunt in the gen 1 games. That's such a goofy thing; I love it.

I wish I had transferred my Empoleon from Diamond. The data got corrupted, but I did save my Shiny Giratina, which is the First OG gamestop giveaway for Diamond and Pearl

Ngl, the last unique Pokemon made me tear up 🥹 I have my first starter pokemon, Turtwig (now Torterra), tucked safely into pokemon home. Pearl was my first complete play through of a Pokémon game as a kid. So many memories. 🥹

You can transfer from pokemon go too

One of my most prized pokemon is my Hayley's raichu

I only just bought a 2nd hand DS and pokemon DS games I've never played as I'm a gen 1 and 2 player originally, so I'm old, but now I can't download Pokemon Bank, I have a switch too with the 2 new games, it will be all good if they add all the old games to the switch

Still have my spikey eared pichu can't trade it but still cherish it

Still only way to get shiny Manaphy too, that rare chance in Ranger transfering to DPP. It is possibly the rarest shiny because of that, in another comment I mentioned Go has had some events for Mew and Jirachi, or Japan has run events granted those are exclusive to Japan, but there has been no way to get a legitimate shiny Manaphy since Ranger x DPP.

OMG MY 1ST POKEMON WAS A BLAZIKEN FROM HOENN, TOO!!!

Did they announce that they are shutting down pokemon Bank? If so, then everyone got scammed when they announced the eshop going down and people were panick buying games and bank on their 3ds 😅

Lol though they eliminated the pokemon home in 3ds too , im dumb i stop tranfer just because i hear i cant

If I never had a ds or pokemon bank, could I still download it? or does it need to already be owned?

I did not in fact know that the dream radar could give you level 5 Pokemon.

@yukihoshikawa

Yeah, but are you gonna use a Master Ball in GO on a Patrat of all things? At least in the main series games, you can get/cheat in multiple Master Balls - heck, the gen 5 games give you a second Master Ball fairly easily. And actually, if you just need a Patrat and don't care about what Poke Ball it's in, you can just breed a Watchog for it.

I should get my battle bond Greninja. Even if they nerfed the ability, I’m not sure if there’s any other way to get one. Besides, it’s kinda neat to have one from a 3DS game.

for me 1st 2 games Coli/XD and all of the DS and GBA games I can't get at all so those are dead to me but the rest gonna get a Switch and try and get what I can get.

pretty sure, if u already own Pokémon bank it doesn't really means they will also close the online service. It still about Pokémon games one of the best selling games from Nintendo. They could shut it off once all Pokémon are available from further generations or sequels.
