Pokémon transferred from previous games (legitimately) are meant to show up as coming from Pokémon link right?

[pkhexquestion]

Just checking that nothing messed up with the ones I backed up.

[theSLAYER]

Not link, Bank.

[pkhexquestion]

If it helps, it was worded like “this Pokémon came from link, it remembers being very happy” it was transferred from soul silver up to omega ruby, all genuinely.

[theSLAYER]

I don’t know if that’s a translation error, or it literally says link. Can you show and image of the screen with the text. It’ll give clues to where I should look for the text..

[pkhexquestion]

I’ll get one to you as soon as I can, bear with me.

"Link" and "Link Trade" are very different. Also, given the current handler is "PKHeX", did you open a blank save then drag the mon in?
These details were generated by PKHeX wasn't it?

I don't see any issue with any of this, tho.

(also, you were meant to show a screenshot of what it says in-game, not in PKHeX, but I guess this suffices)

Sorry, yes this was a blank save after I backed up my real one, just wanted to make sure everything was ok.

does it say Link Trade when it was legitimately transferred from HOME and not placed into a different save?

[pkhexquestion]

There has been no contact to home, it was brought to Omega ruby, and has remained there ever since.

oh so it hasn't been transferred yet? If you traded it to OR, that descriptions makes sense.

[pkhexquestion]

Perfect, that's all I wanted to know, thank you. Speaking of home however, do you know of anywhere I can learn about that new "home tracker" is?

[theSLAYER]

No one really knows. It appears that sending a mon into HOME with 0 as tracker will get a tracker written to it, but who knows what they're tracking.

Are they keeping track all HOME imports, to ban illegal ones? Are they deleting mons with the same tracking number? Is it used to prevent people from cheesing the challenges by depositing the same mon again and again?

Does any non HOME-staff really know?

[pkhexquestion]

Thanks, if not for cracking down on hacks id assume it would be for some statistics or something, funny though how it seems to already be beaten at whatever it was meant to do.
