    @SkyLink98 is obviously 100% correct. However, if you provide a bit more info, we might be able to help out. What games are you trying to import Pokémon from? Did those saves come from physical copies or backups played in a flashcard/emulator? What consoles do you own and which are modded?

    Trading between HeartGold and Platinum should work between flashcards. Transferring to Black 2 would require at least one of the Gen 4 games to be a retail cart, or save editors.

    Thanks! So the Jirachi is definitely fine? It's literally been 20 years, so I couldn't be 100% sure if there had been any tampering (I only remember using AR for Rare Candies, Master Balls and the like)

    Hi! I have a CHANNEL Jirachi from way back when, in my Colosseum save (circa 2004). As far as I remember, I haven't touched it at all, besides normal gameplay (it has like 3 EVs). However, the latest update (24.03.26) throws a legality error. I'm a bit scared, since, when HOME came out, I cloned most of these (by backing up the saves) and sent them up all the way to HOME, so this Pokémon is now in my HOME account and went through my Sword version. Here are two versions of it: 385 - Jirachi - 62EC2A04C3A5.pk80385 - JIRACHI - 519F2A04C3A5.ck3 Could this be an error? Thanks in advance

    Wouldn't this be possible with Bank? Or does Bank update these numbers if you, say, transfer a whole bunch of Pokémon from older games?

    Do you have file extensions showing? If so, what's the full name of the file? PKHeX.exe?
  7. Shady Guy Jose
    Yes, every pre-Gen-7 clone gets a different HOME tracker. I've transferred a few technically cloned mons from Gen 4 (reload old save, transfer again) and I've had zero issues.

    @theSLAYER @givrou112 I think we're all missing something obvious here, due to a sort of illusion created by the capitalization in the name: AwanUS → awanus → aw + anus. "Anus" is probably censored.

    You could try nicknaming it something very long (so that any trash bytes will be overwritten) and seeing if it still happens. If that does the trick, you'll have a legal Omanyte and you'll have pinpointed the cause with no room for doubt.

    You're welcome! Fans did complain. There was a whole "Dexit" scandal (referencing Brexit) when Sword and Shield came out. Technically, this trend started with Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, but those were considered side games, so people found it acceptable. Sword and Shield were the first mainline games to not include the full National Pokédex, and people complained a lot. However, the games still sold well, so Game Freak got the message: "They will complain, but they will buy the games anyway, so the extra work would not pay off". They fixed it somewhat with the DLC (a lot of old Pokémon came back, even if not all of them), and we will probably see the same with Scarlet/Violet and their DLC.

    Several problems with that: Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl came after Sword and Shield, not the other way around There are no "incompatible games". Each Pokémon may or may not be compatible with each game. For example: Infernape can be moved into Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl and Legends: Arceus, but not Sword and Shield or Scarlet and Violet, because games since Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee do not include every Pokémon from previous games in their data, like games up to Sun and Moon did. You have to check what species can be transferred into each game.
  12. Shady Guy Jose
    There's some small print somewhere that states that you can only transfer Pokémon that are compatible with each game. They didn't put in models for all 1010 Pokémon in every game, so you can't just transfer them with a save file.
  13. Shady Guy Jose
    To use your example: Infernape isn't coded into Sword and Shield at all. So, Pokémon HOME won't let you transfer an Infernape into Sword. Therefore, PKHeX will also not allow you to load an Infernape.pk8 file into a Sword save, since it simply would not work.
  14. Shady Guy Jose
    That just means it's an incompatible format. If you can save, turn your game completely off and then resume your save, then your battery is not dead.
  15. Shady Guy Jose
    As far as I can tell, you got a save from somewhere (not your own) and you're trying to write it onto a cart. The format your cart reader uses might not match either the one you got or the one @theSLAYER provided when he fixed the file so it could open in PKHeX. Try playing the game for a bit, saving, confirming it's working (so we know it's not a dead battery, for example) then dumping the save file and sending us the dump. We can then compare it to that save and see if something's wrong
  16. Shady Guy Jose
    I believe you are correct, yes. It's always best to generate Pokémon in the game they're supposed to come from, but generating them in Gen 7 is the next best thing, precisely because of the HOME tracker, which gets added when importing them from Bank to HOME. As far as I know, there is no server-side Bank data that gets stored when you move a Pokémon from Gen 5 to Gen 6/7.
  17. Shady Guy Jose
    Pokémon Bank, unlike HOME, does not attach a tracker to Pokémon. So, in theory, a Pokémon that you transfer from Black to X with PKHeX will be entirely legal (even if it's not technically legit, which is understood to mean that it hasn't been touched in any way with any external tool). You can then transfer it from X to Bank to HOME if you have a way to restore that save into a copy of X.
  18. Shady Guy Jose
    You can use transfer codes. However, you need to have had a Bank subscription previously if you intend to use Poké Transporter (to transfer from gens 1 through 5)
  19. Shady Guy Jose
    By editing it again, you made it illegal. Any decent hack check will detect it now.
  20. Shady Guy Jose
    If you change it (OT/ID and DVs), it will be the same one, so you might as well just grab the original file. Gen 1 Pokémon are very basic, data-wise.
  21. Shady Guy Jose
    This Mew was available for cartridge games way back when. Not for the VC versions. Injecting a cartridge save into a VC game isn't exactly legitimate, so there is no possible way to get one of these mews into Pokémon Bank legitimately. You need the GF Mew from the 2016 distribution if you want it to go over.
  22. Shady Guy Jose
    Save editing won't get you there. You have to change the actual game code, which may or may not be possible (and definitely not easy)
  23. Shady Guy Jose
    For it to be entirely legal, it has to come from a 3DS (because of the HOME tracker). You need to inject that Ultra Sun file into a real cart or eShop game with a hacked 3DS, then use that to bring it into Bank/HOME (directly of by trading with another 3DS that has the app). If you go the Sysbot route or inject it directly into your Switch save file, it can technically be detected as hacked. When a HOME tracker is assigned, it takes note of the first game that brought the Pokémon into HOME. If that's a Gen 8 game and it's a Pokémon that couldn't have reached Gen 8 without first being in HOME, then it's clearly hacked, even if the Pokémon itself is perfectly legal.
  24. Shady Guy Jose
    They are illegal. The only currently obtainable Mew in BD/SP is shiny locked. The game won't forbid you from trading those hacks online between friends, but there's no way to legitimately obtain a shiny Mew.
  25. Shady Guy Jose
    I mean with old Pokémon once they're able to be transferred to BDSP (they likely will when HOME support comes, even if only Pokémon up to Arceus, according to what we got from datamining).
