Batch-trading Pokemon between saves

[Carlzock]

I'm working on a long-time goal of filling the Hoenn national dex and I've already completed the Kanto one. I want to move all 151 from FR to Emerald without the time consuming hassle of manual trading. Can that be done with Pkhex through plugins or such? Basically create an array containing multiple Pokemon, select a box slot and it will replace whatever is in those following slots with the Pokemon in the array.

Dump all to a folder, then import that folder.

You can also drag & drop entire boxes if you enable the setting.

Thanks, I've done exactly that but the pokedex in the game did not update, nor did Birch evaluating the dex help. The pokemon are there in the boxes but the dex does not show their entries. How do I solve that?

[Kaphotics]

You must have disabled the setting to update the Dex when writing a slot.

If the game doesn't show progress before you unlock the national Dex, then you must unlock the national Dex normally via game progress.

Ah, that could be it. I had selected no on both prompts when attempting to load the folder.

Upon revisiting the save, I noticed that I must have messed up after all. I did import the PKM folder successfully and alter the pokedex but in doing so, removed every pokemon from the Hoenn dex I had previously.

 

To be 100% certain and avoid any further confusion, which are the correct options to select in order to import a folder of PKM files WITHOUT losing any already existing pokemon? Especially the second option is not 100% clear because "cancel" means aborting the entire process, as it does in any software.
