But your game launches and runs?
is your Pokemon Sun/Moon also updated?

Ah, maybe you're on an older version of Gateway and save format not compatible, literally?

So to answer question yes, yes, and I have the last one.

I think bank update can be the reason.

Yes, I have updated it.

"No savegame compatible with Pokemon Bank found" something like that

Just now, theSLAYER said:

Erm, Pokemon Bank works fine with these.
I think the only issue it'll have is it won't read NDS saves from flashcarts (of course, lol, different save partition per se and NDS flash carts don't identify as Pokemon)

I ask because I have exclusive and event pokemon in my green rom but pokemon bank doesn't seem to work with my sun/moon versions

Anyway, is there a way to do working Pokemon Bank with cia versions of Sun/Moon in Gateway? Like that I'll be able to test Pokemon Green transfer.

Note that if Gen 1 Pokemon obtained in Gen2 are blocked by the Poketransporter we have a huge clue !!!!

Could be HM restriction, once again.

Did anything else with HMs pass?

I'll do some researches and communicate the ones don't pass

So don't pass:

-Glitch Mew

-Surf Pikachu

-Payday Mewtwo

-Over lv100 Pokemon (lol)

-Pokemon from Gen 2 can pass only if moveset corresponds

-Debug Mew

-Unused trade Mew

-YOSHIRB Mew

@theSLAYER I've done a lot of discoveries but it's not over yet ^^

Surf Pikachu don't pass too

Shiny is retained, just not executed correctly.
Expected EVs to not pass.
Expected Glitch Mew to not pass.
I think that HMs aren't allowed to pass to prevent people from trapping themselves.

Sadly it's not chance of HA, but rather all HA.

I rather soft reset for HA (or recatch and retransfer Pokemon), then be forced in a all HA situation.

That doesn't explain why PayDay Mewtwo don't pass but anyway I"ll wait for Pkhex update.

Edit: And for Mew now they have to make the event in VC more easy to get in Europe and US, idiots.

So is it a bad buzz?

Yes, definitly.

Shiny not retain, IV random, EV 0, glitch mew don't pass, Fly Charizard don't pass, Payday Mewtwo don't pass ...

And no Fissure Machamp lol

Well my opinion is don't use it if your are a purist

haha indeed, indeed.
Well, it'll make sense for it to be in place, since it'll make it extra special for those lucky guys who won the lucky draw.
(The japanese one was easier, just buy a unit lol)

One day I should shoot a video to explain how bad is the event distribution policy for the reputation of ThePokemonCompany.

Discrimination, Inequalities, Frustration, it gives the exact opposit of what they want to do.

Yes Wi-Fi events are better but in fact it just discriminates the poorest and disconnected people.

And they have the same policy problem with fan-made games, glitches and other reappropriations of their universe!

9 minutes ago, theSLAYER said:

Doesn't mean they'll allow Glitch Mew to transfer.
Previous glitched Pokemon didn't transfer.

They didn't even allow Shiny Jirachi, which can be obtained legit, to transfer. Now that's restrictive.

They did totally erase Nickname, but they could easily check OT..

They could always check OT, then do the transfer, that ain't that tough.

Well, I stand to be corrected..

Don't fight us for predictions just wait 7 days and we'll know.

But I think about the real bad buzz they'll have if restrictions are tough.

And they don't want another bad buzz for Pokemon Bank, that can explain the delay of the release too, they want solid servers.

Edit: Because bad buzz is bad for business and remember money rules the Pokemon world ^^

2 minutes ago, theSLAYER said:

There are other differences, namely OT and Nickname trashbytes/terminators,
that can't normally be obtained in game.

Only way to get that correct mew is to import the exact ones we have contributed.

Don't think OT and Nickname will play during transfer.

Think about previous Poketransfer: it checks the moves, the 'legality', the game it was obtained, if it's an event or not. But the system is not very restrictive, except for Illegal moveset.

Yes, I know the mew contributed is the only official but except in Japan where it was easy to find, the only way to get it in Europe and USA was a very very restrictive event at the launch of Pokemon Sun/Moon in England. It's much too restrictive!

I do plan on testing it out since I have a couple shiny Gyarados (only plan on transferring one though) from two Silver play throughs and some shiny Dittos from the gen 1 glitch that I plan on transferring. (I have a EMS flash cart and mega memory card so I look forward to having my ACTUAL first shiny in the new games)

Sadly I have no expectation of the glitch Mew being allowed through Bank and the official new event ones are guaranteed perfect stats in gen 1 so definitely not shiny. So I expect no shiny Mew's. Although I would praise Nintendo if they went against all precedent and allowed glitch Mew's through Bank.

On that note I wonder how people with the new event Mews are going to feel if the know perfect stat Mew gets transferred and ends up with randomized IV's with only 3 perfect.

Can glitch Mew be transfer? In my opinion yes they will because there is no way to see differences with official one except yes the perfect IV, but if they do so they have to make it more commun.

Can these Mew be shiny? It's not impossible if IV are random.

Will shiny Pokemon stay shiny? Hum, I don't think so but maybe?

@Sabresite PkHex will be updated for sure to support this and will at the end do the conversion itself.

Restrictions about trading past gen mons were updated. Pokemon Bank update coming ^^

I think SciresM figured out how the QR rental teams worked before it was released,
but of course the issue could have been server side/PGL side..

Plus there has been a lot of time for them to work on VC. Heck, people hacked in RBY and GSC for VC already.
I think they've even got trading working for GSC titles.

Also it seems the Pokemon Bank update is ready, they're just holding it off.

It'll probably be released slowly by regions, to prevent server overload.

Still can't make out what icon for ID 34 looks like.
Pokemon Duel may be possible too, since it's a round icon, and Pokemon Duel's logo is a spinning wheel.

For me, according your picture and SciresM picture it's a G inside of an  O.

Erm, as in Pokemon Crystal's Mobile connection gets revived via Wi-Fi.
While that feature will be cool, I don't think that's why it's delayed.

Rather, making money is about spacing things out, about timing.
Pretty sure RBYG would have been easy to release on VC, seeing how they use the same rom.
(tho their VC machine itself is running patches alongside the game).

Pretty sure VC RBYG was timed to be release for their 20th Anniversary, cause it'll definitely sell.
(I bought the clear red and clear blue 2DS, cause why not lol)
 

Yeah you're right, money rules in Pokemon World ^^

But sometimes delays are really caused by technical problems (think about QR Rental teams in Sun/Moon).

Wait and see.

Just have to wait 7 days for Pokemon Bank update if not delayed. And then we'll know.

That's because the region identified is based on Game ID,
so as annoying as it is, all HGSS Pokemon, including ones caught in Kanto side -> "Caught" in Johto.

Which is also the method employed by SM, yet they couldn't bothered to define ID 39-41 as Johto, but could be bothered to put the Gameboy Icon.

I'm presenting downloading 1.1, to see if the differences are there.

 

Not that I'm capable of ripping into the Pokemon Bank's data, but someone will likely do it.

Well, gotta wait for Pokemon Star's official name and release date first.
also, a good time to release Gen 2 VC is on Gold&Silver 20th Anniversary, November 21, 2019.

Maybe the project was delayed in order to implant an equivalent of Mobile Connection, using Wi-Fi?

It'll be awesome !!!

5 minutes ago, theSLAYER said:

I think it was a joke.

Plus XD/Colo were Gen III, so they should not activate the Gameboy Icon, but rather a GameCube (lol)

Lol quite not easy to understand face value when you're not English native.

In order to know for GenII VC we'll just have to wait the Bank update release. For Go cross Sun/Moon/Star I really think they are working on. Maybe an event, maybe something else. Note that for Switch Nintendo is working on mobile app to controle the console so if Star comes to Switch it'll be easy for them.

@ajxpk Remember Pokemon Dream Radar event you got when you have a cardrige inserted (HeartGold gives Ho-oh ...)?

It works the same way when you transfer from gen4 to gen5. It only reads the versions the Pokemon was caught not the region.

A distant land?
Pokémon Collosseum/XD Nintendo Switch VC Release... Remaster or Remake... confirmed! lol *joke*

If ID 39 corresponds to old XD/Colosseum, what about ID40 and 41?

3 minutes ago, theSLAYER said:

That sounds pretty epic.

I'll say it's safe to assume so, because there isn't any other ongoing Pokemon game out there, with so much possible connection details being in the SM data as Pokemon GO.

Furthermore, given Codename: Pokemon Stars is slated to be on the Switch, they would have to work on cross Platform Pokemon Bank,
which gives all the more reason for possibility of transfer from Pokemon Go.
 

Yep, I think so. They are working on ^^ for Stars maybe who knows?

Okay, so 歩 is a word I recognize from Chinese, being steps.
and 歩ろ seems to refer to walking, pronounced as "horo" in japanese.
So while the naming is in romanji (roman characters),

Sedai Horohoro could like mean the generation of walking around aimlessly, or world scale walking around aimlessly.
(世代歩ろ歩ろ) and (世大歩ろ歩ろ)

Which both can imply PGO.

I was in Masuda Masterclass this year and he explains us that the main idea behind and the code name project of Go was Walking. He made a funny joke about french walking so fast and shows us how the music corresponds to a walk.

I can't actually figure what the icon marker is supposed to be, but if it really is realted to GO, then that would settle it. Where does someone verifiy what "sedai horohoro" means? Google is only giving me rough translations such as "the world by ones and twos", which I guess could be interpreted as walking, aka GO.

What I found on Twitter

Just now, Deoxyz said:

Is there any indication to where we can basically confirm that? Other than it being the obvious assumption.

Yep, read my first post, look at the sources, it shows not only the icon but also its meaning in Japanese.

You can bet 35-38 will be RGBY, but 39-41 are in the same grey area as 28 and 29. The placeholders were put there for future potential, but not definitely confirmed to be used.

The bigger question is what really is 34

34 is Pokemon GO.

Yep you're right @theSLAYER Cosplay Pikachu can't be transfered too. So much people will be frustrated by that.

But Gizamimi Pichu and Cosplay Pikachu can be "illegally transfered" just they don't have their forms whereas AZ Floette was not distributed at all.

Hope so much Pokemon Bank update release in order to tell you more about.

All I remember about it was something like Stop Hacking (speaking of Sun/Moon), gen 4 remakes cancelled. Something like that but the tweet was deleted. It was on November 7th.
