my diamond game doesnt register my ruby game.. plz help
 
im trying to migrate pokemon from ruby into diamond, but diamond doesnt register it..
even at pal park, nothing registers..

i have a usa copy of diamond and a usa version of ruby
my emerald is the aus version but it still works

ive tried other games like emerald and sapphire and fire red, and they all work properly

any ideas anyone?

your help would greatly be appreciated

I dunno what'd be wrong with it. You've migrated before, right? So you've met the criteria in Diamond...

Do you have at least six pokemon in the pc on Ruby?

Motsuko Live May 21st, 2008 6:44 AM

Have you tried blowing the dust from the cartridge?
lolol, jokes

I'm not sure what's wrong with it. Did you maybe drop it anywhere?
When you put it into your DS, look to see if the DS finds it on the start up screen. If it's not there, than you've probably broken your game.

Sorry, mate.

How is wireless going to mess up his gba slot?
Like it's been said, ensure that it's real and that you have a full 6 pokes in your boxes

World King May 21st, 2008 8:57 AM

I had the same problem with my fake Emerald. Are you absolutely sure it's real? Here's a way to make sure they're real: All GBA real games say "Nintendo" in white at the bottom part, where you insert it to a GBA or a DS. If it doesn't, it's a surefire fake game.

When you insert the Ruby cart, don't push it in all the way. Try leaving a (very) small amount of space between the cart and the end of the slot. Odd, but it works.

Also, don't forget to blow in the cartridge.

World King May 21st, 2008 4:00 PM

Actually, that really isn't necessary. I push it all the way, and it works fine. Check: Fake game... That's more logical...

Just the other day, I tried to play my friend's Sapphire. It only worked using the method I described.

My point: it works sometimes. >:(

Hmm, yeah, but i tried it and it doesnt work. Maybe it's just your DS, or a stroke of coincidence.

World King May 21st, 2008 4:21 PM

OR a fake Game, as I said...

Magick May 21st, 2008 5:19 PM

hmm.. i dont think its fake becaude it does say nintendo on it..
ill give it a go now with blowing in it and leaving a space..

my sapphire emerald leaf green and fire red all work fine, and my ruby game has hundreds of pokemon in it

ok , just tested, doesnt work at the start up sceen or in pal park, oh well

the case does have aVERY small crack in it, but nowhere near the gold things inside.. so im really stumped

thanks for helping
i guess ill just buy a new game

wakachamo May 21st, 2008 5:46 PM

Is the cartridge red, however?

It should be considering it IS a Ruby Version...

Magick May 21st, 2008 6:55 PM

yeah, the cartridge is red has the seal on it etc

littleguy1600 May 21st, 2008 7:02 PM

have you beaten the elite four and gained the national dex yet??

Magick May 21st, 2008 7:05 PM

yeah i have, the game is finished

World King May 21st, 2008 8:32 PM

Well, that doesn't matter. Eevn if it hadn't it should say "Migrate to (GBA Version)" on the Main Menu...

Unless you can't get to Pal Park yet... (For that, you DO need the National Pokédex...)

Magick May 21st, 2008 8:52 PM

in both games, ive finished the elite 4, and i can migrate from other games just not his one

Arch_2008 May 21st, 2008 10:48 PM

Could you upload a picture of the Ruby cartrige, so we can tell if it's a fake?

Patchy May 21st, 2008 10:53 PM

Why not just trade the Pokes to another game and then migrate? :)
It might be troublesome, but I have no idea what's wrong with your game.

Magick May 21st, 2008 10:55 PM

im not sure how to upload photos on here.. let me play aorund for a bit

Arch_2008 May 21st, 2008 11:09 PM

Take a photo of your Ruby game, put it on your computer. Then go to Photobucket.com, and if you hadn't already made an account there, register there. Then upload the photo, then copy and paste the IMG url to here.

Magick May 22nd, 2008 12:05 AM

i have to make 15 posts before i can post urls

ill add a few more bumps here

sorry if this is annoying....

only a few more, i really am sorry
