Transfering pokemon
 
how do you think they're gonna allow us to transfer our pokemon from BW BW2 or games even further back? I really hope they make like a transfer tool that you can download from the eshop for free that way it just connects to your regular ds games and holds them until you connect your X or Y version. Because not everyone owns two DS's to trade back and forth from.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 12th, 2013 3:48 PM

I'm also hoping they do that. Trading from gen 4 to 5 was dubious enough, we don't need another repeat of that (needing two devices I mean).

bashau June 12th, 2013 7:13 PM

i think they will find a way be it'll be a game store only

PheonixDeath1 June 13th, 2013 8:47 PM

Idk but i hope mutiple games will be able to trade pokemon

If they make Gen 5 transferable then I'm pretty sure Gen 4 will be too, they're both on the same handheld so I can't see why one would be viable too with the other not. As for a transferring method I'd say they will probably stick with the Pokétransfer Lab which was pretty straight forward and it got the job done, I really want to be able to see all of the Pokemon in 3D graphics eventually!

I just had a revolutionary breakthrough thought that no one might have thought of before. What if they make an app that can be downloaded via eshop or better, part of the game package, and it will be just like the Ruby and Sapphire box system whatever from the old Gamecube where you would be able to deposit any pokemon from the DPPtBWB2W2 DS games, if their on your 3ds, and be able to take them out from the XY games. If they will hint a little Generation 3 in this new generation than they might go for this move. Also, you all know that Generation 5 was a reboot with aspects of Generation 1 implemented. They further went with the format in Generation 6 with an introduction of a new type as Generation 2 had done. Now here is where you might get excited. Generation 2 was the only generation where you are able to send Generation 1 Pokemon from the GSC games back to the RBY games via "time machine" trade. Since the two generations (5 & 6) are equivalent to 1 and 2, there might be chance of the proposed box system idea I mentioned to be able to send back non-Generation 6 pokemon back to the DS series if you ever wanted to.

I can always dream about a transferring app that reads a Gen IV/V card's save area, and then moves all the relevant Pokémon data to XY. That would be... ridiculously easy, though.

Same here. Though I feel if they do that they may still add in a mini game. I see the Pokémon appearing in a ranch like setting, and capturing them with a Park/DW ball.

Warship June 14th, 2013 11:46 AM

well i heard that there were problems with ds connecting to 3ds but i dont know how true is that. gen5 transferring was really the worst since it required two systems and not everybody had two. i think an app would be cool and currently its the most viable way imo. as long as we can transfer from older generations though im okay with whatever it may be

JayTheKing June 14th, 2013 12:13 PM

I hope that we still have to use 2 handhelds.
It will be awfull if they made you download an app.

It'll really restrict players who only own one 3DS if we are made to use two of them much like gen 5 did. Sure we can trade them to friends gen 5 games who have two and trade back in XY but it can get tedious to do so.

I really hope they don't make another stupid mini-game, I just wanna get my pokemon fast and easy and then go on about my business.

franko94 June 15th, 2013 10:19 PM

I think the issue will be with the Hidden Power mechanic. The old Pokemon are not programmed to be able to have Fairy type hidden power

Therizinosaurus June 15th, 2013 10:51 PM

as long as they dont have a stupid minigame ill be all good. gen V's mini game was so annoying, and i often didnt manage to get all the pokemon i was attempting to transfer.
but i dont think youll be able to transfer pokemon back to gen V. as franko94 said, theres new mechanics, and if they were going to let you do it at all, game freak would have let you transfer from gen V to IV.

Well, the IVs of the pokemon wouldn't change, so while the hidden power would have to be re-configured, it wouldn't be a change in how the stats are calculated, like gen 2 to 3. I think Gamefreak learned from the backlash from gen 2 to 3 and will always make games backwards compatible, which is cool since i can use pokemon from Sapphire 3 generations later.
How is a different question. I don't own a 3ds yet, but I've played DS games with my friends who do in multiplayer, so they can connect. The question is how would a ds game connect with a 3ds game, which is a rather new problem, but I'm sure Game freak will figure it out.

as I suggested they should just make a free transfer tool in the eshop where you take pokemon in a 5,4th gen game to put it into the 6th gen.

SnowpointQuincy June 16th, 2013 2:52 PM

Could they use Dream Word connectivity to move pokemon?

Could BW save data to the SD card? Then the 3DS could get them there.

GF should find a way for a Single 3DS to transfer pokemon. GF shouldn't expect us to have two.

IKR! I'm probably the only person I know of any of my friends that has a 3ds or a ds ever.

Austin1395 June 16th, 2013 5:57 PM

I'm really just hoping that they can find some way for us to transfer our Pokemon from other/previous games without having a second DS/3DS.

MarinoKadame June 16th, 2013 8:19 PM

I wonder with Pokemon X and Y if they gonna release a pokemon stadium type game on Wii U.

Treecko June 16th, 2013 9:37 PM

At the Developer's Roundtable last Wednesday, they mentioned they're working on a way to transfer Pokemon from previous games.
Quote:

Q – Can you import Pokemon from previous games?
A – We are thinking of something. The DS and 3DS can’t communicate, but we are working on it.
So that's good to hear we will be able to and I expected that we would since it's been a thing for two generations so why remove it? I'm thinking since they're still working on it's not in the game? They could still be developing it though cause it seems they're still improving the graphics. (which are look better each time I might add.) I would hate to have to buy two 3DSes just to transfer them again. That is such a pain so I hope they make an e-shop app just for transferring Pokemon. I hope too that you can transfer more than 6 at a time cause it that takes prefer when you have an entire game of hundreds of Pokemon to transfer. I liked the Pal Park alot so I'd also like if there's something like that in the game cause it felt more real than the PokeTransfer minigame.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 16th, 2013 9:55 PM

That Q&A makes me think that if they don't figure it out by release date we'll be seeing a patch/update or an app on a later date. Hopefully they'll be able to think of someway to by pass the restrictions, if not Gen 6 may become like it's half number, Gen 3.

But there's a problem, the 3DS is an entirely different console to the DS, in fact it's the successor to the DS as a next gen console. So that means there will be an issue with transferring old Pokemon over from older games. If one looked at one of the X & Y trailers carefully, a Charizard appeared in it. The only way to get it in R/S/E was a trade from FR/LG, and in the case with 4th and 5th Gen it had to be transferred over with Pal Park and Poke Transfer respectively. If the case that the DS and 3DS can't communicate due to being different gen consoles, it will be the end of transfer as we know it, but GF learned their lesson when 2nd Gen couldn't transfer to 3rd Gen. I'd like to see a new way of transferring over Pokemon from 5th Gen games, maybe an e-shop app or something.

Mithel_Celestia June 22nd, 2013 10:36 PM

The DS and 3DS cant communicate directly, but maybe an app can. Pokemon Dream radar is an example of a 3DS able to communicate with the DS games. Like the lot and even I have said an app can be able to connect the two generations together

gSpartan150 June 28th, 2013 6:57 AM

I am hoping that they have a PokeTransfer kinda thing. But hopefully they don't add a mini-game.
