Return of the Time Capsule?
Do you think they will have the Time Capsule in B/W like they did in G/S/C? Or, do you think they will have some sort of migration method involving the use of two DS's? Or do you have a completely different thought on this?
Personally, I hope that they will have some way to get pokemon from D/P/Pt/HG/SS, because I've spent a good amount of time collecting all the pokemon I have and training them all. It would be a shame if they made us restart again. |
I'm more inclined to believe that they're going to go with the latter and have some sort of migration method.
|
In my opinion, they could perhaps do something based on the DS' internal memory, whereby you put in your B/W game card, choose a menu option to migrate from Gen IV, remove the cartridge and put the Gen IV cart in, select the ones you want to import, save and switch off. Put B/W back in, and go to the time capsule/PalPark-esque place within the game and get importing.
Not sure how viable or possible this would be, though. |
I think that it's likely we'll get something like that. I hear a lot of people talking about Gen IV/ Gen V compatibility, but... they're different generations. By their very definition, they're NOT compatible. I think that the pokemon will need to be migrated somehow.
|
I think there'll be a Time Capsule sort of thing.
Pal Park was because there's no way to connect a GBA game and a DS game (and you could have both in the one DS). Because BW and DPPt are both DS games and they have to be on two handhelds, I think it'll be a Time Capsule thing. ...although, the GTS might become interesting... |

if they put the time capsule in, i hope it doesnt take u ages to get it, like in frlg. its been proven that we can use get 4th gen pokemon into bw somehow with the shiny dog trio, so something must be implemented.
|
I'd say they're probably going to go for some sort of Neo-Time Capsule. I mean as both Gen IV and V are both DS games, then I don't see why they can't do something in the same vein as Gen I/II connectivity.

The forwards-backwards compatibility is due to if the Pokemon would lose information when going back to an old generation. Gen I had nowhere to store whether a Pokemon was male or female, so if you traded a Pokemon back and forth between the two, each time its gender would have to be redetermined.
To get around that Gen II had gender based on stats (as a result female Pokemon always have lower attack than their male counterparts in Gen II). This went for gender, shinyness, etc. Since Gen III had no backwards compatibility, it could completely remake the system. Thus female Pokemon can be just as powerful as male ones now. And shinyness no longer is dependent on Pokemon's stats. Gen IV made it so that it was only forwards compatible. That way Pokemon won't lose details when they go back, because they can't go back. There's no hardware reason Gen IV couldn't have allowed backwards trading (possibly there was with Gen II -> Gen III, but I don't know). With Gen V it could go either way tl;dr: Backwards compatibility is dependent on more than just hardware capabilities. Anyway, I think migration or anoher one-way trading system will be used. |
They could possibly set it up so that you can use the HGSS PokeWalker to transfer Pokemon over, by allowing Pokemon to go from the Walker to the new cart (but not vice versa).

People here seem to think that there will be a patch or something that will update Gen IV and make it so that B/W can interact with D/P/Pt in the same way that HG/SS can. I just don't see that happening. |
I'd rather this to the damned Pal Park >___> You can trade your Pokemon back from Isshu but they can't have anything from that Region, even Ribbons?. I like it anyway. Another question I have is; How will the GTS trading work with this game and DPPtHGSS?

I really do hope that the time capsule will return. I don't see why it can't be possible, as both Gen IV and Gen V will be on the DS. Time capsule couldn't be possible because of the major changes of Gen III and Gen IV (along with Gen II and Gen III), and because of the fact that they were for different systems (Gen I and II were possible because both were for the Gameboy).
If they do Pal Park, I will not be a happy person. :( |
I just don't think that platinum and BW are of such different times so I think the term time capsule is misleading.
Im thinking of some sort of Airport... it would fit the cosmopolitan state of the game's cities. A sort of "send pokemon to help poor trainers in isshu" campaign lol well maybe not, but a one way airlplane ticket seems interesting. |
Or you know, they could have it work out the same way trading between DPPt and HGSS does.

This being said: Time Capsule-like trading is for sure. How they'll do it or what they'll call it, I dunno. But it'll be similar I'm sure. |

That'd be a catastrophe if somebody did it with DP. On topic, Trading between Gen V and IV is confirmed to compatible and will be trading and battling which each other normally (Of course not with Gen V Pokémon.), similar to what happens in II and I. DPPtHGSS will still have their own Wi-Fi servers, and we are unaffected. Which means, there is a chance that there is a building. 'The Diamond and Pearl Building' which is enter-able if we have Pokémon that: Do not carry B&W-exclusive ribbons. Do not carry B&W Moves. Do not carry B&W Items. Are not in new B&W Formes. Are not introduced in Generation V. Aren't Bidoofs. The abilities won't matter since they are determined by the PID and\or class And if a Pokémon goes to a version that the Pokémon is even not the same, and goes back, the ability is the same in the main game. So, no. A Pokémon's ability will be the same if traded to a Gen IV then back to a Gen V game. This of course may result into the implementing of an NPC that takes Ribbons away, or just confiscates them. This is one. The other one is a new note in the Pokémon Centre: We are terribly sorry. The other trainer is from a region that doesn't recognize some of either your Pokémon, their moves, their items or their Ribbons. Please fix these Isshus issues and try again. This is for the battling an trading directly. My speculations for Wi-Fi. Direct Wi-Fi: Did anybody see the HGSS Wi-Fi? It has two sections, the DP system and the PtHGSS system. I bet in B&W we will have 2, the Gen IV and the Gen V sections. When you attempt to battle or trade with Gen V Pokémon, Moves or Items on hand, It'll show some messages. This is for example a trade between the RSE Remakes and the GSC Remakes May failed to respond... --> SoulSilver The other trainer is from a region that doesn't recognize some of either your Pokémon, their moves, their items or their Ribbons. Please fix these issues and try again. --> 'Magma'Ruby This is probably what will happen. GTS: 1- The Diamond and Pearl Area thingy 2- A simple choice in the GTS: *Some button pressed.* Would you like to trade with Sinnoh or Johto trainers? Yes\No If No --> Continue in the Isshu GTS normally. If Yes --> You get the DPPtHGSS GTS Menu, and if you attempt to put a Gen V Pokémon and\or Gen V moves and\or Items: The other regions don't recognize some of either your Pokémon, their moves, their items or their Ribbons. Please fix these issues and try again. Just as simple as that. This whole Isshu thingy is an Issue. Speculation belongs to me, and only me, 11:28 GMT, 05\27\2010. |
I could see the return of the Time Capsule happening. At least in some form. It may not be called the Time Capsule, anymore, though. At least I don't think. I could be wrong. Hard to say not knowing, right?
