TL;DR I'm getting ROM caught pokemon, from every game I can, moving upwards (via bank?) to a legit Switch and HOME account. If I try this, what will most likely mess me up?
Howdy,
I've arrived at PKHeX and PokeGen early in my quest, so I'm drowning in reading currently. I'm struggling with a lot of the help documentation, because so much of it is around creating new pokemon, or editing existing ones. That's not something I have interest in, I fully intend to catch 'em all in every game, and get them all in my HOME. Because the ROMs will be (presumably) generating pokemon just like if they were real, does that make my quest a lot easier? Or am I going to get screwed by a technicality?
I saw the Home Tracker Value post, and I'm worried about other pitfalls I might run into along the way. I also don't quite understand what the virtual console is (an emulated Gameboy?) and how I can then get GBC pokemon out and through the many layers. Will I be emulating a console which emulates another console and then transferring through different techs? I missed out on everything between gen 2 and 8, so I'm just very lost on how I get those lower gens into modern pokemon!
Thanks
Pancake
