Question of Ancient Trainers: Of all the Pokémon you ever caught, of all kinds and from generation to generation, who loves you? If you can bring Gen III Jolteon and beat the Hoenn & # 39; s Elite Four with it Pokémon Sword and Shield, can you? Well, starting this week, that option is open, should you choose.
With the introduction of Pokémon Home, the latest paid Pokémon storage service, you can bring your GBA-era Pokémon to the modern AAA gaming space. It just needs to fade.
What Pokémon Home?
Pokémon Home, a free app that he's out this week on the Nintendo eShop, Google Store, and Apple App Store, it's more or less a real-world PC box. To put it simply: You can store a large amount of Pokémon in it. In the zero-dollar tier, you can save up to 30 Pokémon transfers between you Pokémon sword either A shoe files.
Pay a premium, either – $ 3 a month or $ 16 a year – and you'll be able to save up to 6,000 Pokémon. You will gain access to other bonus features, including the ability to transfer your Pokémon in between Home and Pokémon Bank—A key factor in saving those expired Pokés.
How can I import Pokémon between versions?
Officially, Nintendo's condition is that you can only use it currently Pokémon Home for three types of imports (integration with Pokémon Go is coming on an unspecified day of tomorrow).
- You can export seamless Pokémon from The sword and A shoe in the middle Pokémon Home and your main game file.
- You can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon: Go Go Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's go! to enter Pokémon Home, but you can't go back.
- You can transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank, an old hosting system Pokémon Home. This, too, is one way.
Nintendo kindly explained the process in this chart:
If you want to get over that, things get a little tricky.
Did you say you can bring back Pokémon from Generation III?
In the last week, you may have seen social media posts such as testimonials this one from Reddit, when one user shows Zizagoon removed from Pokémon Sapphire, through space and time, depending on the present generation. That's happening Pokémon Bank consistency offers many options for transferring old Pokémon, which is good news, because it's free to use for a while.
As you may have seen this week, there is another, illegal flowoffart making the rounds. It breaks some transmission power Bank allows:
The chart is a lot to take, at first, but it's very simple when you break things down. The transfer actually falls into two categories.
From Generation III: First, you'll need a Nintendo DS. Stick to your Gen III game (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, or LeafGreen) into the GBA slot. But do nothing about it right now.
Next, start your Gen IV game (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, or SoulSilver). You will have to play until you reach Pal Park and find the National Pokédex.
In Pal Park, you should get the "Migration (Pokémon)" option from the game in your GBA location. Once you have Gen III Pokémon in your Type IV file, you can sell them in Gen V game (Black, White, Animal 2, again White 2) and, from there, enter Pokémon Bank. But be warned! When Pokémon came in Pokémon Bank this way, they can't get back to where they came from.
From Generation VI or VII: Import Pokémon Pokémon Bank and 3DS games (X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, The sun, The Moon, Ultra Sun., again Ultra Month) It's easier than getting Magikarp with Old Rod. You can simply transfer Pokémon from those versions into the exact ones Pokémon Bank.
If your long-term partners are safely stored inside Pokémon Bank, you can move them to Pokémon Home. Even if Nintendo wasn't officially named in this way, one would think they knew better. Pokémon Bank it's free to use through Thursday, March 20 Usually, it costs $ 5 a year.
