Hi, I’m looking for help with an old Pokémon White 2 save from a Chinese fan-translated NDS ROM that I played about six years ago.
I have already extracted the original .sav file from the flashcart to my PC. The save itself has been checked and appears to be structurally usable: the actual Gen 5 save data is the standard 512 KB format, the trainer information, party and PC boxes can all be parsed normally, and all 38 Pokémon in the save have intact Gen 5 data/checksums.
The game was a Chinese fan translation based on the Japanese version, so the Pokémon are internally marked as Japanese-language Pokémon, even though their species names were displayed in Chinese in the game.
My goal is very specific: I want to transfer the exact individual Pokémon that are stored in this old save into Pokémon HOME.
I am not looking for recreated/genned replacements, and I do not want someone to simply make new Pokémon with the same species, stats or moves. I want to preserve the actual Pokémon from my original save as faithfully as possible, including their original OT, TID/SID, PID, IVs, EVs, met data and other identity-related information, subject to whatever changes the legitimate generational transfer process normally makes.
Ideally, I would like to migrate them through something as close as possible to:
Gen 5 save → Poké Transporter / Pokémon Bank → Pokémon HOME
Unfortunately, I no longer own a 3DS or a legitimate White 2 cartridge, so I cannot perform that migration myself.
I’m therefore trying to find out what the best practical method would be in my situation. If someone here still has access to Pokémon Bank/Poké Transporter and the necessary hardware, I would also be very grateful for advice on whether my original save could be restored or otherwise used to perform the migration while keeping the original Pokémon rather than recreating them.
These Pokémon have a lot of sentimental value to me. I really want the Pokémon I had when I was younger to somehow make it all the way into the present with me.
I can provide the original save file, the cleaned 512 KB version, or additional technical details if they are needed for checking the save.
Thank you very much for any advice or help.
