Sending My Pokemon Back In Time PK8 - PK7

[Porygon2]

Hi 

 

I'm sorry if I'm asking a silly question and hope I'm posting in the correct forum. I'm new to the world of PK Hex so sorry if this is a classic noob question.

 

I recently found a Time Capsule app (PK to PK) on the forums that allows for your Pokemon to go back to older generations. I can convert any of my PK 7 files back to PK1 and even to the Gamecube titles, it simply removes any info that isn't needed and fills in any blanks. However it does not seem to support PK 8 files and most of my Pokemon are currently on Pokemon Sword. The error message reads that the ".PK8 is not a valid PKM size" presumably because Pokemon didn't have sizes before Let's go.

 

I desperately want to send my Pokemon back/ clone them back to their origin games to enjoy the in their original regions and with their original sprite art. Is there anyone who can help me with this? Any advice would mean the world. 

 

Cheers - Porygon2

You don't need that program.

Launch PKHeX in Hax mode, launch 2 windows.
Have 1 window open a gen 1 sav, have another window open a gen 8 sav.

Drag a mon from the gen 8 window into the gen 1 window.

This is very exciting, Thank you thank you!

 

Another silly question, how do I open it in Hax mode? I really appreciate your patience :')

I hid my response, because the described method normally works for other gens, however I'm having issues recreating the solution for Gen 8 and Gen 1 specifically.

As for using Hax mode:

Any help getting my mons back to where they belong is appreciated

I've managed to move my PK8 Mon through PK Hax to a Gen 5 save file in PK Hex. Initially there was an error with the Pid (which I re rolled until it disappeared) however the Rotom still has an ! that says it is unable to match from origin game. Despite the fact it's set to Platinum and Met at level 15

 

 

 

Update: 

I can, with some work, transfer a PK 8 to a lower Generation using PK HAX to open a .Sav from a previous gen. However frustratingly no matter how I slice it there always ends up being a problem with the Pokemons encounter from origin game. Granted I have only tried with a single Rotom but if anyone can help me to understand whats going on it'd be much obliged!

Please don’t multipost. Most mons transferred back are probably rendered illegal, or was never legal to begin with. In any case, you should still be able to play in-game using them.
