HOW EASILY CAN YOU TRANSFER POKEMON FROM EVERY GENERATION TO POKEMON HOME/SWORD/SHIELD/?

Ойындар

With the introduction of Pokemon Home on the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, the process of transferring Pokemon has become even more tedious - but what does it take to transfer your old favorites? Today we're going to find out how easily you can transfer Pokemon from every generation to Pokemon HOME and Sword/Shield. This video took a lot of time and effort to put together, so I'd really appreciate it if you shared this with a friend. If you have any suggestions for the next video, leave it in the comments below! Have a great day :)

    I’m doing Gen 3-5 to Gen 6-7 now and it’s already a kafkaesque nightmare. For some reason you need two separate apps, an internet connection, an tool that normally costs money (free this month only) and you can only transfer one box at a time. It only reads one specific box in BWB2W2, and since I have Black (and not B2W2), I have to move Pokémon one by one into this box. For each new box, you have to remove and insert both games again so you’re basically constantly going back and forth between multiple apps, changing which game is in the 3DS, and which Pokémon box you are looking at. It almost makes me want to go back to having to play mini games to transfer my Pokémon.

    yo i did this last year moving from gen 3 to bank a living dex of gen 1-5 mons and it was fucking terrible. tfw you check bank for the 3rd time because you can't remember what step you're on and don't want to lose a whole fucking box of pokemon you transferred from LG/FR. it takes WAAAAY more concentration than it appears so you can't even really do something else in the mean time like you can when grinding. there were so many times i was like whoops wrong game whoops did i use transporter yet? whoops loaded bank before transporter and the 3ds is slow as shit so i forgot and did it again whoops is it time to reorganise boxes again? i feel you fam wasn't even worth it cause a month later they announced national dex being removed smh. that said my shiny lopunny in omega ruby from the shiny charm was... spent hrs hunting him so.

    16:50 the reason you can't transfer back is not due to flags, but because each pokemon in your storage is it's own individual file, with each game they upgrade the version of the pokemon's file, so when you've transferred to bank it's upgraded to the gen 7 version and thus the older game won't be able to read it's data anymore.

    You can move Pokemon between XY and ORAS as long as they don't learn any moves/items exclusive to ORAS. Same thing applies to S/M. You can't transfer exclusive Pokemon, moves, or items in S/M to Gen 6... But you can move a Gen 6 Pokemon to and from Gen 6 and 7 as long as they don't get an exclusive move/item. The files only get changed (upgraded in your words, which isn't necessarily true) when you transfer them to Home, hence why the move is permanent.

    A few errors: - Bank doesn't automatically have a free month when you download/use it for the first time; it only had a free month after its launch and after Home's launch. Outside of these times there is no trial period and you have to pay to use it. - Home doesn't have any free-month trial or promotion; it just has a "Basic" plan and a "Premium" plan. Basic is always one box only and doesn't allow Bank transferring (though it does allow Let's Go transferring and SwSh transferring). Premium is $3/month or $16/year and gives you 200 boxes and Bank transferring. - Nintendo Switch Online is not required to use Home.

    @PhillipMargrave If you have all the working parts already, make SURE your Pokemon are stored on Pokemon Stadium or Pokemon Stadium 2 until you can move them up to the new games. I was barely able to save my shiny Eevee before the battery in my Silver version died, mere HOURS later, due to storing it in a box on Stadium 2. But if you don't already have all that stuff, buy the cart dumper ASAP and mod a spare 3ds, it's cheaper than any of that N64 crap and you will need to get this stuff anyway. My roommate's Blue and my Yellow still work, but we fear them stopping any day now.

    Raphnet also sells his N64 to PC USB controller converter. It's main purpose is to connect your N64 controller to a PC, but with his drivers and tools, you can read anything from the controller's expansion pak directly to the computer, including the N64 Transfer Pak. So, if you already have the N64 Transfer Pak (came with Pokemon Stadium) and a controller with your First Generation game, you can use this adapter to dump your save file to your PC.

    I got a headache just remembering how pain-staking it was when I first transfered my gen 4 Pokémon all the way up to to Bank all the way back in 2014. Really, I checked my old DS saves and I realized I didn't move all of them precisely because of how obnoxious the whole process is.

    For those worried about Hidden Abilties from Dream World there is a solution. There are ability capsules in sword and shield but there is a caveat, a lot of gen 2-4-5 can't be transferred because of Dexit. So a lot of pokemon got left out.

    I appreciate that they let us do this and the flavor text of the Pokémon traveling through time and space to be with us is cool but I’d rather just catch the Pokémon I want in the newer games and give it the same nickname I gave it in the original game. For example, I had a Bulbasaur named Coldsaur in Fire Red but Professor Sexymore just straight up gives you a Kanto starter in XY so I just chose Bulbasaur and also named it Coldsaur then headcannoned it being the same Bulbasaur I had in Fire Red lol. Having your own headcannons in Pokémon is always fun, plus this way is just more convenient for me. The only problem is the new one might not share the same things like gender, nature, IV’s, capture location, flavor text, etc. And it’s harder if it’s rarer or a shiny, but depending on how you play the game, most of those things can be pretty negligible and they’re usually just things you check out once then never look at again. I did hear that you can change IV’s and natures in swsh though so at least those 2 things can be fixed. I can usually just get all the Pokémon I want in the newer games, and if not, I’ll just wait for a distribution event or trade it or cheat it in or something or I can just distract myself with the new ones lol. The only reason I would transfer a Pokémon form an old game is for the sentimental value/attachment/nostalgia/bragging rights/experience/collection/novelty of it. That being said, I love that we can do this! It really makes the games feel much more connected and sort of harmonic??? in a way. I don’t know of any video game franchises that are as intertwined and interconnected as this one. Heck, I might just transfer my old black 2 team to Pokémon Home. The idea of showing off my Pokémon to my friends on my phone is pretty appealing to me. Awesome video as always btw

    I did all this last year while Ribbon Mastering a Farfetch'd (actually inspired in part by your Forretress video, lol) and seeing the whole process laid out again makes me kind of worried for the future: For all the previous generations, the transfer methods are future-proofed; even though it was 2019, I could still connect my GBA to my Gamecube, or send Pokemon from one DS to the other, or whatever. As long as hardware like batteries or anything don't fail on me, I could go do it all over again right now, and do it anytime I want for years down the road. But in gen 6 with Pokemon Bank, even though I will admit it's extremely convenient, it's also a service that could end sometime in the future, similar to the Wii Shop's closure making Pokemon Ranch unavailable. We don't really know how long the service will exist, and it's quite likely they simply won't provide any other method once it does. I dunno, something about that makes me feel sad. I have to wonder if maybe they could have made Bank a downloadable program with a one-time purchase fee or something instead.

    Just a regular living dex (without trading online) is much more of a challenge than it looks.

So you go to the ends of the earth and back for a rock with a big nose that you never wanted in the first place.

Use a Mega Memory cartridge to back up your real game, load that save on the emulator card, pull that sd, load the mons sorted in am editor on pc and ensure they have reasonable g3+ stats/abilities/ivs, important them to a g3 emulator's save, put that on an sd and to a gba cartridge and either then trade to real g3 copied or just send them to gen 4 directly the normal way

    I did the whole process. In fact, this is how I first learned about Johnstone's KZread page. His original "how easy is it to transfer" videos were very helpful in getting my entire collection to Gen 7. While I had a lot of the games already, I will admit I spent probably a good 400-500 bucks to get all the games I wanted. And I spent a year (alongside a full time job) getting every single Pokemon. I played through Red/Gold/Emerald/LeafGreen/Platinum/HeartGold/Black/White2/X/OmegaRuby/Sun/UltraMoon/Let'sGoPikachu to get all 807 Pokemon and some PKGO to get Meltan/Melmetal. Seriously. It took me a year. Biggest frustrations were definitely trying to catch all the 1% encounters in Gen 2, all the unskippable cutscenes in Gen 7 and the sheer number of Pokemon in Gen 5.
