Do you like the PokeTransfer in B/W?
 
Really I dont like it. The better the Pokemon, The more hard to catch but its useful for transfering pokemon you cant get in B/W.

The lack of a 6-Pokémon limit is good, at least.

Tropical Sunlight February 23rd, 2011 12:25 AM

It's a shame I can't transfer my cloned Master Balls from Emerald onto Diamond or HG and the to Black and White. :P
But at least there's no annoying time limit. :D

Tetra February 23rd, 2011 4:31 AM

The most annoying Pokemon i caught sent to the Pokeshifter today was a Mewtwo. Still havent caught it!

Perriechu February 23rd, 2011 6:08 AM

I actually like this better than the Pal Park; because of the No restrictions on how many Pokemon a day ~

It's a bummer that you have to bloody have to have the same regions for games though, I hope American & English versions are not the same >:(

Yeah, I'm very annoyed that they're region locked when trying to migrate from a previous Gen. I was really looking forward to using my English game team on my Japanese cartridge. Oh well, at least I'll be able to trade my 5th gen Japanese Pokes over to my English 5th gen game.... I hope? lol

I don't really have an opinion on this one.
I can say its probably going to be more fun than the pal-park.
I thought it was really boring. But I'll have to wait until I get my White version to have a say!

Really? :'( It will then be extremely difficult to send all the Pokémon I want to sent to Black...

I haven't tried it so far, but I looked at some videos and it seems better as the Pal Park. It is more challenging, and it's funnier I guess. I hope it'll be addictive! :D

Of course, I wish it were two-way. From what I can tell there wasn't any "mechanical" impossibility in doing that. We still had the same Pokémon data structure, only possible difference being that the same data is stored differently.

I agree with the idea that the Generation 4 TM list should have been retained. Or, they could change the sucky TMs with the more useful ones that Generation 5 introduces (yes, "sucky" TM is subjective). I mean, it's not like a lot of people are going to favor Canon over Stealth Rock... Why don't they replace the pretty-much-never-used TM Frustration instead? I don't see why the list had to screw us over with transferring all the other items as well...

And yeah, the two-way thing seems like it should work... I mean, if Generation 2 can do it with the Time Capsule, why can't BW of Generation 5 do it? Even Crystal is able to implement the Time Capsule and trade with the RBY Game Boy games, and its cartridge is a different model than all of its predecessors (that, and Crystal can't be played on systems prior to the Game Boy Color)! Pokemon Black and White Versions even have an advantage, as they're on the exact same platform as the Generation 4 games, unlike Pokemon Crystal Version's case.

PokéSwimmer February 23rd, 2011 10:58 PM

While I would prefer to have a "time capsule" feature rather than the Pokéshifter in Black and White, I'm just glad they're not cutting us off like they did between Gens II and III.
Also, I guess it's a good thing they didn't allow the transfer of items. It was WAY too easy to find methods of cloning items without AR in Gens III and IV. I have been guilty of this myself :P Yay Pokémon Emerald!

Tetra February 26th, 2011 5:13 AM

Yup, I hate it how it won't let you transfer items.

This is my downfall too, since I have an American copy of both Diamond and Pearl, but everything else is English (because I am English :))
But I can trade all the Pokemon to my English Heartgold, and then to White :D
Hehehe...

Actually it's only the Japanese BW that won't connect with other English/American versions. I think English/American versions will let us though ~ :3

Although I have an English copy of HG I'm not bothered, ~ :3 but all my other Pokemon games (D/P/PT/SS) are americanzzz.

woo english people :3

Palkia March 2nd, 2011 11:20 AM

I prefers Pal(kia) Park because you can transfer items. In the Shifter you can't. :(

adhdguitar March 7th, 2011 8:39 PM

I love it expect for the HM rule.

Goodbye Surfing Pikachu. :'(

Gotta hate that one, Probably one of the worst things for the transfers...

The Corrupt Plague March 7th, 2011 9:04 PM

I'm going to be hacking all of my items in Black because I have already hoarded a ton of them in the previous generations. It isn't fair to have to work for all of them again when they had been sitting in various games for the past two generations.

Giraffe March 8th, 2011 10:25 AM

I can't access the Pokeshifter as I'm yet to complete Black.

It does sound good.
Though the only big downfall is the fact you can't send items, I guess.
Oh, & a Pokemon with HM moves. {Surfing Pikachu ;_;}

Raichu1988 March 8th, 2011 10:46 AM

I already knew about the no item rule and that they wouldn't return to their games once you transfer. But, the no HM rule too? Jeez, as if I didn't think it was annoying enough to not be able to attach items to them.. >_> What? Well, not like I was going to use a pokemon with an HM anyway but the items thing was pfft. I have a lot of evolution stones in Platinum I was hoping to share some of them on Black. :/ I have yet to use it though since I'm not that far into the game but it already sounds like a drag to me in most ways.

Lateon March 8th, 2011 12:04 PM

I just cleared everything out of my HG cartridge to Black. It was boring after a little while- granted, I did send 210 Pokemon over, so that's probably from the repetitiveness of it. I understood the no TM/HM rule because they did change, but I missed transferring items- even if they could have programmed a list of items that the pokeshifter couldn't transfer, it would have been nice to be able to move my masterball collection over to Black. I didn't find the mechanics of catching them too difficult (I got all 6 every time). I decided to give myself a break before moving things over from Platinum.

I haven't tried it yet, but does anyone know what happens if you try to trade a previous generation pokemon over to BW (as opposed to through the pokeshifter)?

pokegirlsam March 13th, 2011 10:46 PM

How do you poketransfer in Pokemon black and white? Ive got 2 dsi's and one has heart gold the other one pokemon white and i really want to get my pokemon from heart gold to white.

Talk to the man in this house on Route 15 after beating the main game:

Follow the directions.

Phototoxin March 14th, 2011 8:01 AM

I think it sucks to be honest. Keeping the whole thing 'internal' (must use new pokes) sucks a lot. Sometimes you just want a bulbasaur or whatever and you can't have one until AFTER the main game.

I can see one side to it - stopping people trading over uber pokes from the get-go and crushing through the game - but if they do that it's only their own game/fun they're *wasting*.

Additionally the lack of items is annoying... I save masterballs and tms. Essentially they're forcing a 'hard reset' with the exception of the pokes themselves.
But then why a mini game? I would like to be able to transfer a box at a time over or something. It wouldn't be hard and it wouldn't be as time consuming.

Superjub March 14th, 2011 11:58 AM

Meh, it's okay. :\ I still wish we could just transfer them without having to do a stupid mini-game. :< Also, I now have to transfer the Jirachis I cloned on Emerald from Soul Silver and then to Black. :<

vaporeon7 March 14th, 2011 1:25 PM

Why didn't they bring back the Time Capsule? That was one of the smartest this Game Freak has ever done. I think everyone would have praised them for doing so if they actually did.

It's pretty bad to be honest with not being able to take items and how frustrating it is. At least it doesn't have a six Pokemon a day limit I suppose.
