Soul Silver to PC? Transfer up to X/Y?

[Darkholme]

2 Questions:

1. I'm looking to back up all of my caught 'mons in Soul Silver to my PC, and then transfer them back to a new game (. I heard that the easiest way to do that used to be a GTS Emulator, but that it relied on some aspect of the official Nintendo WiFi Connection that has been discontinued. Is there another good option for this, or am I stuck with just getting access to multiple DS'es and trading one by one, to a game where I caught enough magikarps to trade for all of them?

2. With the Nintendo Wifi Connection service discontinued, is it still possible to transfer pokémon up from fire red to B/W and then to X/Y, or is that impossible now?

Do it legit.

Pal Park 3-4 -> Poketransfer 4-5 -> Transporter/Bank 5-6.

To pal park you need a slot2 DS to be able to import the GBA savedata, and you need 2 DSes to do the poketransfer.

Do I have that as an option? I thought Pokétransfer requires Nintendo Wifi Connection, which has not existed since May.

It uses local wireless.

"To do this, you will require 2 DSs, one with Black or White, and the other with Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver. Then, when you go to connect, you will get a DS Download play application which will link in with your fourth generation game."
