5th Gen Transfer question

[kazaa117]

Hello, So my question is this.
I would like to transfer my pokemon from black to replay it before moving onto black/white2 and then onto x and y. I want to play them in order but start it with replaying black 1 first. Any chance to do this? or is the only way to get another copy of black 1 and transfer to there?
thanks for the reply

OK so if you have another DS or 3DS what you can do is transfer your current Pokémon to your W2 or B2 via wireless or IR trade. Just get up to the part where you can trade in those games and then transfer them there as a placeholder. Reset Black and playthrough as normal, then - transfer the original placeholder Pokémon (from your first Black save file) back to Black (or forward to Gen VI). Then your new Pokémon that you want to play through W2 and B2 with can be traded over to them once you reset those games.

So as long as you have another system to play on it can be done but there's no way to mass transfer your original Pokémon (the Pokémon you have right now) on your first save of Black unless you transfer to the Pokémon Bank. I hope that makes sense!

Will try this now :) appreciate the reply, will get back to you. I thought you were not able to transfer backwards from black 2 to black 1?

when in those games can you transfer through the union room then? :)

No need for Union room! Straight from C-Gear :)

Sorry for the late response:

BW
"The player cannot trade Pokémon until they have obtained the Trio Badge from the Striaton Gym and completed the C-Gear sub-quest for Fennel. This prevents the player from trading for a Pokémon that knows Cut in order to access the blocked-off section of Dreamyard early, as HM usage is not restricted by Badge ownership in Unova."

B2W2
"Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the Basic Badge from the Aspertia Gym and have received the C-Gear from Bianca. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White."
