It's an interesting question to bring up, and while I doubt very much that it will work, we can bring this discussion into the thread about the PokéBank and Transporter.
|
I'm worried!
Hello from Ireland. My story is long but bear with me. Back in 2005 I was fortunate enough to receive a female modest togepi with serene grace and the move tri attack. As most of you will know, getting each of these traits is a feat in itself, but the fact it happened first time is nothing short of a miracle. Destiny! Since then, my partner and I have been through thick and thin - I have transferred her with me on my journeys through all subsequent games and regions since our fateful meeting. She is now a very powerful Togekiss. However I noticed that when a friend wanted to borrow her briefly for a tournament, I couldn't transfer her to him via GTS due to her having a National Ribbon. She got this when I purified her on Pokemon XD. I realise that the new generation works on transferring older pokemon to the new game in a similar way to the GTS. The pokemon is transferred into the ether and traded that way. My question is: will pokemon from XD that have the national ribbon be able to be transferred to generation 6?? Any opinions or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated and welcomed. If I have to leave her behind, I think that would be the end of my pokemon journey. |

Thanks Jay, but I'm also worried that because my togekiss has tri attack and softboiled, the software will not allow transfer because it may see it as an illegitimate pokemon - even though they aren't. What do you think?

Well I definitely haven't used those things on anything. I've never even heard of pokegen before now! Thanks for the help man. I feel a bit more at ease now.
|
I really want to like this idea, buuuuuuuuut:
I don't really agree with the premise of a recurring (being the key word) fee to use this thing indefinitely. I think a one-time fee is pretty reasonable. But it is only like five dollars (?) so I guess that's not too bad. I do like the attempt to try and get hacked Pokemon off the market, I wish they'd be a little more hawkish with the GTS in that regard. However, if the cloud doesn't accept clones, then I'd worry a little about the future of RNG and trading. |
Do you think eggs can be stored in the Cloud? How have "Box" Games worked in the past?
I just spent an hour gathering eggs for all Starter Pokemon from all 5 Games. I hope I can transfer the eggs and hatch them in GEN6. |

I just thought of something...what if Pokemon Bank can be used as a cloning method? For this example, we'll be cloning a Smeargle.
Step One: Save the game. Then, create a save-data back up(you click the little triangle icon) Step Two: Reopen the game and transfer the Smeargle to Pokemon Bank. Of course, your game will save automatically, most likely. Step Three: Exit the game and then use the save back-up you made earlier. Your new save has the Smeargle in it, because you backed up the save before you transferred the pokemon. Step Four: Take the Smeargle from Pokemon Bank and put it back into your game. Ta-Da! Two Smeargles! Would this work? |
This feature is honestly brilliant. Allowing you to preserve your favorite Pokemon forever in cloud storage is something I have personally never though of, but I can now see how useful it is. From Gen 6 forward, we won't have to worry about accidentally erasing our save files in terms of losing our Pokemon. Not to mention that you can pass down your Pokemon to future generations and all that other nifty stuff.
I also understand and am fine with the annual fee. I mean it is cloud storage after all. |

Pokemon Bank
Why does the Pokemon Bank only allowed Gen V games, why not Gen IV? I mean same cartridge right? :(
also in same engine. can someone explain if there's wrong in my statement lol |
I suppose because there is a way to transfer from Gen 4 to Gen 5, so they think there's no need for this feature. But it would actually be pretty nice for people who haven't played Gen 5 and want to start again in Gen 6 ;)
|
Merging your thread into an already on-going discussion about the PokéBank, Adryel.
The question behind why the Bank wasn't adapted to work for Gen IV games as well as V, probably has to do with the missing DSi enhancements as someone mentioned before. Which could be the reason why only the Gen V games are capable of working with the PokéBank and not Gen IV. Or maybe it's because GameFreak simply didn't want to do it. No one really knows for sure, but at least the reason of missing DSi enhancements from the Gen IV games sounds a little bit more credible, yeah? |
yep Artemis,
plus I don't have another DS console to transfer IV - V so I hope someone send this to gamefreak making a way or at least wouldn't acquire another console just to transfer pokemon from IV - VI |
Does anyone know how much Pokebank is going to cost?
|
PokéBank is going to cost you five dollars per month, I believe. You're going to get a free trial though, and if you like it, then you may keep using the service. If not, then you're always free to cancel it. (: In my opinion, it's not expensive at all. Most of us spend a lot more money than that on other things every day, such as food, clothes, and laundry.
|
they said 5 dollar per year? O.o

I'm getting myself a little confused with the release date of Pokémon Bank - I'm certain that it's coming out in December, but a lot of people and websites are telling me that it'll have a simultaneous release date alongside Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. Any clarification available here guys? :P |
Oh, so it's going to be released on the December 25th, huh? That sounds like a fair amount of time. A little late, though since the games are going to be released in 20 days or so. I plan on getting it; but I just might not, haha xD

I have another question if you will guys. If a Pokémon is able to be deposited into the GTS without any problems, could we then assume then that it would be able to be transferred into the Pokémon Bank without any foreseeable issues? I would assume that it's ability to be able to be accepted into GTS means its legitimacy is adequate enough for both the GTS and the Pokémon Bank? Am I right?] |
Quote:
I know I've seen some weird stuff uploaded in Diamond/Pearl GTS (such as a Sealeo with the appearance of a Mew), in which google-searching told me that it was hacks. I didn't use the GTS in other games, so I don't know how proficient the GTS is at blocking hacks. I know that recently Gamefreak has become better at stopping hacks from entering online battles, which is why I made the above assumption. |

Quote:
Hopefully they'll also get rid of the low level legendaries which aren't obtainable, same with Pokemon that evolve at higher levels...as it makes the GTS come off as Global Troll Station instead of Global Trade Station... |
I hope the Pokemon Bank will Solve the "One Save Slot Problem"
Imagine beating the Elite four, catching all the new mons, uploading them into the Bank. Then Start a new Game and download all you old pokemon. You get to start a new adventure using any pokemon you have, and keep all of the pokemon you collected before. |
@ Snowpoint My thoughts exactly after realizing that we could deposit them all and withdraw them later. At long as the Bank doesn't rely on some code from a save file or anything like that which can be erased when deleting an old file...
|
I think it'd be neat if you could have an eShop version of X/Y and a physical copy of a Gen V game, put the Gen V game in, and just directly transfer them.
|
Sorry for being off topic, but how does transferring work between Gen IV and Gen V? I never did it before, and I'm wondering how they transferred it from a DS game to another DS game without them being in the same system.

I have a question about the bank system.
When used for the transfer process, does anyone know if it will allow Held items? Like, the Transfer system between 4 and 5 doesn't allow held items... Will this one? |
Way better system. I like it a lot more than the previous messes http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ed2305b7.png
Lets just hope it's not a mess itself |
I also doubt they'll allow items to be transfered...
|
when can will be able to deposit and withdraw pokemon? right after we get our pokedex?
|
Wait how does the exp share work now?
|
I think only items like Blazikenite will be able to be on bank.
|
I'm looking forward to this, koff~
It'll mean I don't have to release tons of Pokemon! I can keep all of my Koffing and others hatched from breeding. It'll also be easier to get all the Pokemon Exclusives I think. It'll also make it easier for people to go through the games, grab the legendaries and upload them, and start a new game. It'll also make challenges a bit easier. I've seen that some of them require you to hack the game in order to play them properly. Hopefully this will put the cloning and hacking issue to rest. I just hope it doesn't cost much, koff~ |

Just to check as I haven't read through all the other pages so sorry if this has already been asked but can you transfer from black/white/b2/w2 to x/y on just one 3ds using pokemon bank?
And similarly x to y or vice virsa |
PokeTranport and PokeGTS problem for black 2 and white 2 Problem
PokeTranport and PokeGTS problem for black 2 and white 2 Problem
they might be problem when this come out people use The PokeGTS customize DNS hack will be able bring there hack pokemon to pokemon X and Y lol pokeGTS DNS hack let you put ability on pokemon and skill set that would normal not be on the pokemon |
I mainly hate it because people like me can't pay for it.
|
Quote:
I don't think you're aware of it, but the service will cost like 5$ a year, which is ridiculously cheap. We're lucky this isn't EA or some other company like that... in that case, 5$ a month would be pretty cheap, lol. |

Items from X and Y will be able to be stored in PokeBank. HM moves might cause a restriction on transfer like it has in previous transfers. Items may just go back into the original game's bag like in the transfers to gen 5. And hacked Pokemon won't go through.
One thing I want to know is can I connect both X and Y to the same PokeBank. |
Quote:
But, as you've said, there might be other reasons, besides the actual amount of money, but then the op should have specified it. The op saying that she hates the pokémon bank because she can't pay for it, sounds like there's something wrong with the Pokémon Bank, it gives the idea that the op finds it overpriced, which clearly isn't true. Of course people (if not me, someone else probably) would reply thinking that she wasn't aware of the price or just needed to look at it from another perpective (hence why I mentioned EA). So yeah, I never meant to offend anyone, but if I did it's the op's fault. Seriously, when you say that you can't pay for it, you can't expect people not to interpret it as you finding it too expensive or you not being aware of the price. If there's a reason besides that, then the op should quite obviously have mentioned it. I'm sorry, I'm not analysing a poem, I'm not supposed to try and look deep into what the poster might have meant. I'm just quickly browsing through a forum, looking at all the posts in a superficial way. Now I would actually like to get a reply from the original poster to clarify things. |
For starters, please stop coming across so rudely, I'm not a child, i don't have a job, and i only get money when my family gives me some as a gift, so in other words, i cannot afford monthly things, also i'm female, that is specified in my posts with the gender icon and the word female next to it. I also don't own a 3DS, or the game, cause i cannot afford either, wish i could.

Will it's not new to most people, here's more details on Pokemon Bank revealed on serebii.
Quote:
|
If theres a free 30 day trial. I would probably push everyone in ASAP and get them into my X game. I may pay for it tho depending on the competition things
|
More details the official site has set up a FAQ thing on Pokemon Bank.
http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-gb/strategy/pokemon_bank_faq/ |
No items in the bank, guess you must rely on trading instead if you want a new game by keeping your megastones. Don't think I will use the bank that much actually. And I will mostly only rely on GTS and trading. By the time it come out I would not like to reset my game.
|
Since Items won't be allowed in the transfer system
I hope they remembered to put certain hold items somewhere in X and Y. Such as the three Creation orbs. . . . |
This point is interesting:
"Can I use Pokémon Bank as soon as it finishes downloading, or must I reach a certain point in my Pokémon X or Pokémon Y game first? If you download Pokémon Bank to your system in the Nintendo 3DS family, you will be able to use it at any point after obtaining your Pokédex in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. You cannot use it if you have Pokémon X or Pokémon Y but have not begun the game." So I can start a game get the starter and pokedex, and put that pokemon in the pokebank. Then start a new game get a new starter and put that it the bank. Start another new game, get the last starter, get the other two out of the bank and have all three starters? |
Quote:
And that's just the normal banking system. I don't think the Transporter will work as such, since the Regional pokedex won't have ALL the pokemon in it, and thus, wouldn't be able to recognize any pokemon you try and transport. That part of it will be like the Transfer Center most likely, and unlock when you receive the National pokedex. Of course you'll still be able to store them. I'll only be using the transporter, as I don't actually see the point of the bank system Up until now, with how many PC boxes there are in game, you can have one of EVERY SINGLE POKEMON, and still have room. And twice now, I think, they've increased the number of Boxes, since the total number of pokemon exceeded the maximum space. With the new additions, they will be exceeding 720, and they'll have to update the number of Boxes, since there will be plenty of people who don't want to use the Bank. If they go up to just 30, that's 900 spots, more than enough as usual. Edit: Something else I remembered. A more pertinent reason for why you cant do this The Bank and Transfer system isnt coming out til the 27th of December |
Quote:
And I didn't know it was in Gen IV because I have no friends to trade with. |
Once traded to a legitimate cartridge (Diamond), will Pokemon caught normally on a r4 Heartgold ROM with no stat changes etc be able to be transfered to black 2 (legit cartridge) and into the pokemon bank to a legit X or Y game without detection?
|
Quote:
|
Possibly, but I'm worried about it finding out that the pokemon aren't from a real cartridge originally, even if their stats are the normal and they were caught without any cheats/hacks.

How exciting, koff~
I can't wait to use this feature! It sounds like a great way for me to store Pokemon I have no room for that others might want! 3,000 Pokemon huh? I'm always up for a challenge. I filled out my boxes in Pokemon White Version and I can fill out more! I always thought it was silly to hoard Pokeballs in the hundreds and not use them, so I started fishing for moonstones with Clefairy and Lunatone. No luck so far, but I just release them anyway. It's all in the adventure, koffi~ |
Quote:

Nintendo is being closed mouth on what the Pokebank checks for when storing pokemon, but as long as they aren't hacks, and are legit, I think it will store them

1. 5 USD is a drop in the ocean, literally, you could find that much on the ground just by watching where you are going and picking up pennies. 2. Gift cards from game stores can be purchased with cash, no card needed to buy the card. 3. Parents love games like Pokemon for their kids, keeps them busy during times when they need to concentrate most, like when driving, they'll be more than happy to pay 5 USD for that kind of safety. 4. Kids can still mow lawns, and other various non-business jobs, in the US. They can't make getting paid for chores illegal, because that would, itself, be illegal. 5. Prepaid credit cards do not require a bank account, you can buy and load them in a ton of stores and there is no age limit in any country. 6. It's the future, get use to it or stay behind, but griping about it won't stop the rest of our species from moving forward.

Well, based on actual statistics, you're wrong, XanderO:
How much teens spend. http://www.statisticbrain.com/teenage-consumer-spending-statistics/ Yes, that's for everything they buy online, not just games ... but that's a huge market, a massive market, and a lot more money than most physical markets get. But that's not the kicker, this is, and I quote from the page: Average annual income of a 12-14 year old $2,167 Once more, then I will drop out of this particular line of discussion on this topic: http://www.marketingsherpa.com/article/how-to/data-spending-habits-dos-donts A few quotes from the statistics: 77% [of the funds] are gifts from people other than parents/guardians 82% [is spent] on video games, music, movies, books, videos/DVDs, virtual worlds, etc. 82% [of their visits online are] entertainment/media sites That's for "tweens," you know, kids. |

hi guys im new to the site so i dont know if this is the right forum but i really would love any help regarding my issue, back when i played emerald (when it first came out) i was a child and had all the time in the world to catch myself a shiny rayquaza, it is something im proud of but when i was also quite silly as a child i let my friend boost the stats on it. i digress due to the anti cheating system will my rayquaza be unable to trade? it is in a amaster ball from hoenn and it has stats as follows, 414 hp, 399 att, 251 def, 438 sp att, 279 sp def and 289 speed. once again any help would be great :)
|
you know even if the parents doesn't let them use their credit cards
their still some e-shop cards It's almost rare to see some kids that don't have at least 5$ on their savings |
youre right, im not proud of it by any means and i would love to return it to base stats and retrain it myself, i just don't want to go through the exhausting process of catching the shiny again :S thanks for help i suppose i will just have to see :p
