News edition.
Previous >>59604932
>News
Due to recent anti-cheat updates, VC Johto origin Treecko and Torchic (obtainable via ACE) are now patched as of October 11th, 2026. Pokemon Home no longer accepts transfers of these glitched Pokemon from Bank.
>What's happening?
Pokemon Bank shuts down on February 25th, 2027.
>What does this mean?
Gens 3 through 5 will forever feature forward migration (from old gen up to >nugen) via Gen 4 Pal Park and Gen 5 Poké Transfer Lab.
Gens 6 & Gen 7 will be permanently locked out of all transfers. That means no transferring Gen 5 to 6, no Gen 6 to 7, no Gen 7 to Home.
Virtual Console releases of Gens 1 & 2 will be locked to only trading across those titles.
Basically anything that isn't a Switch1/2 title or PokemonGO will be unable to transfer to Home.
>What can I do about this?
Access to a modded 3DS can expedite the transfer (and procurement) of Pokemon to move into Home before the shutdown via homebrew titles. They can also enable you to continue transferring across Gens 1 through 7 in lieu of Bank. No getting around the Home lockout though.
>What is this thread for?
Discuss things we're trying to get done before Bank closes down. Ribbons are a big one, transferring up old events. Getting Pokemon that can't be obtained in the current generation. The opportunity to transfer up GB origin marks for the gen 1 and 2 VC and origin marks for Kalos and Alola will also disappear unless/until those games/marks are reintroduced on the Switch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, once bank closes, there's no way to inject older exclusive Pokemon into my Scarlet Violet; right? In other words, inject is kill? Those games were my first and just discovered older games recently and like older mons and their exclusives so I'm kinda sad. I'm being told that it's now or never even for injectors too so I don't know if that's the truth. I've never injected either so I'm a complete noob

Revisiting old games to make a collection of all the original games legendaries, NPC trades, N's pokemon, and so on, I've come to realize that Diamond and Pearl have quite possibly the most expansive obtainable pokemon list of any gen even though they have a bad reputation for limited pokemon available during the main game. Assuming you have a DS lite and all the GBA games to insert into the GBA slot for their wild encounters you can get almost a full Nat Dex natively in Sinnoh, only missing legendaries, starters, and Tangela/Tropius. Gives me a newfound appreciation for Diamond and Pearl. Admittedly that's a high barrier nowadays but back when they were new that's high quality

>VC Yellow
>VC Crystal
>LeafGreen
>Sapphire
>Emerald
>Platinum
>HeartGold
And I'm finishing up Black now. Just gotta RNG the Swords of Justice, Kyurem, and Tornadus, then RNG perfect IVs for Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, and Victini. I can get Thundurus from Dream Radar, and use it to RNG Landorus in Black. Then it's off to Black 2, and from there completing the Unova dex, then the loooooooooong process of that awful Poke Transfer minigame and touch trading to Black 2 so I can get natdex completion in both games. Then off to gen 6.

Playing through XD so I can have a shadow ralts to ribbon master so I can have a pokemon that can get every ribbon currently available and that is likely to get every one going forward. The question is: do I evolve it into gardevoir or gallade? I like them both and while there is a novelty in having newer Pokemon with the national ribbon gardevoir is just kinds of generally better and I could get used out of it in champions

Living dex bros, do you try and get Pokemon from their earliest appearance? I'm thinking about:
>Gen 1 and 2 mons from their respective VC games for GB origin mark
>FRLG for gen 3 Kanto mons (+ Sevii Islands for Johto mons), Colosseum/XD for whatever I'm missing from those, then focusing on Hoenn mons
>Keeping my OG Kanto/Johto Pokemon caught in Hoenn separate
>Event Pokemon also kept separately
Is that how people do it? Or at this point would it be better to just build off of whatever I currently have?

>still have to go through all of X and ASNot sure if I should bother with this or just move on and get everything I can.Also, for the Home Pulverising Pancake Snorlax thing, does it have to come from a file that has the Snorlium Z, or can you just trade/transfer an event Munchlax to another file, evolve it and transfer? I bought a used copy of Moon to transfer the demo Greninja and it has that Munchlax, so I'm not sure if I can delete the save and still get the challenge done.

Gonna finish X today. All I have left is a handful of easy but time consuming ribbons in OR, the Battle Maison, then catching and getting ribbons in US/UM. Debating if I want to SOS all the alolan forms, the ones I can't mark hunt in SV at a later point, or just say fuck it and be happy with what I have. Really reaching end game here. Probably going to take a break after I get everything in Home, eventually resort my boxes, then work on getting everyone their SwSh, PLA, and SV ribbons. Done two ribbon master run throughs in BDSP before and I keep putting it off every time I get there. Such an ugly, slow game.

Still looking at the shiny thing. It's a bitch trying to figure out who's cut from what. For simplicity's sake I'm ignoring Switch FRLG since there's no method hunts. And you can breed in G/S/C for the Gen 1/2 stuff but I hate doing that
Impossible to hunt completely
>Pikachu (Partner Cap) - USUM SRs
>Type: Null line - SM or USUM SRs
>Poipole line - USUM SRs
Impossible to hunt but can be obtainable if GO ever reruns Masterwork research (yes I know GO shinies suck)
>Mew - Emerald runaways
>Celebi - VC Crystal SRs
>Jirachi - RS Colosseum / Channel Corruption resets
Impossible to hunt with your OT but available as 100% Pokedex reward
>Manaphy - D/P/Pt/HG/SS Ranger Egg
Not impossible to hunt but requires BDSP discontinued event items
>Darkrai - Platinum SRs
>Shaymin - Platinum SRs
Can be hunted in BDSP but not put into home so should be hunted elsewhere
Spinda - ORAS Dexnav or SM/USUM SOS

Aside from getting things that will be impossible to obtain otherwise (E.g. Alola Rattata line, Ribbon Master Shiny Spinda, Ribbon Master Shiny Hisui Typhlosion caught via Colosseum RNG manipulation, Shiny Celebi from eShop 3DS Crystal), is there any reason to get the living Dex that’s not just for the True Colour Magearna? Have a decent number of Pokémon in Home towards it (about 60-ish percent across games) but between irl stuff and other games I want to play I’m not sure if I want to all that just for a recoloured Mon I already have.

This entire scenario is the perfect demonstration of the importance of physical media. Gens 3-5 will forever retain their migration capabilities because it's all done on the physical hardware. Got the game? Then you can still do it. Gen 6-8 transfers are gone forever because it's all based on a server somewhere. And don't think Gen 8-whenever they replace Home transfers won't eventually get their transferring shut down as well.
