    Does anyone have a compiled list of Pokémon that they could not send?

    Also check everything on the Pokémon. You still cannot transfer HM'd Pokémon. If they have HMs on them they have to be deleted to be transferred. Some may not allow you to send special event Pokémon if there are specific moves on them. Which kinda sucks cause you'd have to delete that move.

    I'll attempt to see what I can and cannot transfer when I get the app later tonight.

    Also it may or may not accept some Cloned Pokémon. If you have a cloned novelty Pokémon (one from the events) it may not allow you to transfer. Its the only thing I can think of.

    That might not be true. I've managed to transfer many Pokemon which know HM moves from Generation V into X.

    As for savegame corruption... I thought that every time the game was saved a backup was made in case of corruption. I certainly seem to remember this happening in Generation III games and I may have seen it in Generation IV.

    If that's the case I'd be suspicious of the Charizard and Dratini from the breeder. But if I'm reading you correctly, everything else you caught yourself? Or are they all from trades?

    theyre all from trades because i never knew about the distributions when i was a kid -_-

    Any Arceus caught through the Azure Flute event won't make it through as Nintendo never distributed it.
     
    Nah

    My First Box of Monster Traded!

    You do you get Celebii?
    Click to expand...

    Access the Bank again, and Bridgette should give you a Celebi. Then start up your X/Y and select "Link". The Celebi will be trasnferred to one of your boxes.

    yes but i just realized that someone traded me a giritina and it is a level 1 giratina. how did that get through since you cant get a level 1 legendary in game?
    Click to expand...

    It's possible to get level 1 Giratinas, Palkias, and Dialgas from the Sinjoh Ruins in-game event. So that Giratina is probably not hacked.

    The level 1 Giratina (and level 1 Dialga and Palkia) are legit because they were the Tohjo Ruins events in HeartGold/SoulSilver, which require an Arceus to access. Level 1 Regigigas can also be encountered in Platinum.

    About the Pokebank corruption scare; it's fake. This'll explain why.

    "It was confirmed that 4chan made this up/faked it with the purpose of scaring Reddit simply by removing a cartridge while it was saving. Pokebank wasn't involved at all. I'm gonna try and find the source I read, but I'm at sixth form which - naturally - blocks both sites."

    I just sent Braivary, Samurott, and Swampert, which all have Fly, Surf and Waterfall respectively, safely to my copy of X without any issues.

    And by 'special event Pokemon' you mean the legendary shiny beasts? Because I transferred them over with those special moves too.

    The last one is the one I find strange. I tried to transport an Arceus and a Darkrai up. Both are the ones you can get in the game itself. I had used an Action Replay to get the Azure Flute and the Hotel Key or whatever it is. I'm not sure how the game would know that I hacked the items when the Pokemon are the ones in the games' programming

    Dang. I'm not really for or against hacked pokemon, since I don't really battle people online, but the only one I was planning to hack for would have been Mew from Emerald. I remember using AR to get the boat ticket to visit the island with Mew on it. I was expecting that Mew would pass the pokebank hack-check since you don't have to hack the pokemon but the item itself. Thanks for the heads up! Now I know not to waste my time trying to get Mew.

    So endlessly happy that the bank is out. I woke up and saw the message from Nintendo, and my eyes lit up like a small child on Christmas.

    Anyone know if it's possible to have Kyurem Black and white in the same game? Like if you had two Kyurems and a Reshiram and Zekrom and used the DNA splicer on each of the Kyurems and merged one with one and the other with the other?

    i would assume that you can since the DNA splicers aren't an item that a pokemon holds. like the EXP share now. so if you had 2 kyurems im sure it would assume you can have both black and white kyurem

    Really? I didn't have any problems when sending 3 boxes of Pokemon from my black 2 to my Y.

    Also, my contribution to what can and can't make it through the hack check:

    -Pokemon created using Pokegen or whatever will make it through, provided they have legit stats, abilities, and moves
    -Pokemon who's IVs have been altered by an Action Replay will make it through
    -if you hacked to get an event item required for a legendary Pokemon, that Pokemon will not make it through

    The last one is the one I find strange. I tried to transport an Arceus and a Darkrai up. Both are the ones you can get in the game itself.

    Bizarre, I transferred my Darkrai across just fine and that was through an AR'd item. Wouldnt know about Arceus because the one I transferred was the Dream World Arceus.

    No it is not possible to have both in one game without hacking. The DNA splicer can only be used once at a time. if you use it to fuse to Kyurem Black, you cannot use again to fuse a second Kyurem to Kyurem White. Instead it forces Kyurem Black to split apart. That's how it was designed.

    @Oshawottlover. DNA Splicers has always been a Key Item. It was never a Hold Item.

    I've transferred over 100 pokemon (including event/WiFi pokemon of all kinds) now and none of them were rejected. It seems there's only a few specific restrictions at play.
