Pokémon Home Transporter (Mario)

**Kanto/Sinnoh/Galar/Paldea**

In 2020, Pokémon HOME was released as a storage platform for Pokémon in the main series Pokémon games. Having first connected to the main games with Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee!, Pokémon GO connectivity to Pokémon HOME was released towards the end of 2020. This transfer is only one way from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME so make sure that you select Pokémon you definitely want to transfer. Certain Pokémon and Pokémon Costumes/Forms cannot be transferred. Mega Evolved Pokémon and Shadow Pokémon cannot be transferred. After you have sent a Pokémon to HOME, they will need to be accepted into Pokémon HOME in the Pokémon HOME app where they will then be placed in the first available position in your boxes. Once transferred, the Pokémon's stats in the main series are calculated as they were in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! transfer. This means that if you deplete the energy for transfer, it will take 6 days and 23 hours in order for the energy to restore. Alternatively, you're able to pay to restore the energy at the cost of 1 Coin for every 10 Energy, so 1,000 Coins for the full recharge. Pokémon HOME is the new Pokémon storage solution introduced in 2020 and intended to pave the way forward with Pokémon connectivity for future games. It is releasing on Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android devices. Pokémon HOME is a cloud based system that allows players to connect with all Pokémon games. This includes the Nintendo 3DS games through Pokémon Bank, Pokémon GO, Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu & Let's Go, Eevee,  Pokémon Sword & Shield,  Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and  Pokémon Legends: Arceus allowing for players to store all their Pokémon in one place. Although the utility connects with all the games, the connections with Pokémon Bank, Pokémon GO and Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! are only one way. Once you put a Pokémon from these games into Pokémon HOME, you won't be able to put any into those games from HOME. Pokémon Sword & Shield, however, can both deposit and withdraw Pokémon from Pokémon HOME. The utility also has the capability of allowing for trades with friends and others around the world directly through the Pokémon HOME app either locally or online. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet have many Pokémon that cannot be in the game but it also has dozens of Pokémon not in the Paldea Pokédex but still usable in game. These are found either by transferring through Pokémon HOME or via various event distributions.

also the Time Capsule too!

**Johto/Pal Park/Time Capsule**

One of the most interesting features in Gold and Silver is the Time Capsule. After opening, it allowed players the opportunity to trade over their beloved fighters from Generation I games, or trade their new ones to these games with moves they previously couldn't have. There are two very obvious technical limitations to this, of course, which are detailed below.

**How to Open**

The Time Capsule cannot be opened until the player visits Ecruteak City Pokemon Center for the first time and meets Bill. After he has fixed it, wait 24 hours and then you are free to use the machine to trade Pokemon of any level that meets the below requirements. Don't forget to pick up an Eevee from Bill in Goldenrod City after!

**Restrictions**

Just like in Star Trek, players can't visit the capsule if they're going to be messing with the timeline. Here are the restrictions: - no Johto Pokemon or eggs can be transferred. - no new moves on old Pokemon can be traded over. This means that you can't trade over your Lugia to awe Kanto with, nor any of the other Johto Pokemon. Not even pre-evolutions and evolutions of Kanto Pokemon. There are, of course, glitches that circumnavigate these restrictions, but we won't get into that here. The time steam must be preserved. To be able to trade over Pokemon with new moves, you must first delete them. This is done either by writing over the offending move with a TM or level-up one, or taking the Pokemon to Blackthorn City's move deleter to have it erased manually. The latter method is the only way Pokemon who have learned Whirlpool will forget it. It is perfectly find to send back a Pokemon with a move it couldn't learn before but was available in Generation I. An example of this is Blastoise with Ice Punch, or Machoke with Karate Chop. Be warned however, moves like Karate Chop that changed types in Generation II will not retain these changes in Generation I.

**Items**

When you trade Pokémon over from Pokémon Green, Red, Blue or Yellow, you may notice that the Pokémon has got an item attached to it. Some of these items are quite common, but others can only be obtained by trading the Pokémon. The item may also vary depending upon the game it is being sent from. Pal Park makes a return in HeartGold & SoulSilver. Like in Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, it works in allowing you to migrate six Pokémon at a time oevr from the GBA games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed & LeafGreen) if you are playing on a DS or DS Lite with those games in. It is located within Fuchsia City, and you are able to use it's facilities as soon as you have access to it, with the menu option arriving in the main menu before you load the game. However, there is a difference to the HeartGold & SoulSilver Pal Park. In Diamond, Pearl & Platinum, the games limited you to being only able to transfer six Pokémon from a particular GBA game within 24 hours. This feature has been removed in HeartGold & SoulSilver so you have the ability to transfer as many Pokémon as you want in a single day, just six at a time. Capturing Pokémon is relatively simple. You have two options when you encounter them, to throw a Park Ball or to run. Throwing a Park Ball guarantees the capture and all of their stats, IVs and hold items of the Pokémon remain identical to how they were on the GameBoy Advance games. Each Pokémon can be found in one of the five specific areas so it's best to plan your route so you can quickly find the Pokémon to get the highest score. Like the games in Generation IV, Pokémon Black & White have a feature which allows you to transfer Pokémon over from games of the previous generation. This is done in Black & White through the PokéTransfer feature. Located within Route 15, there is a building similar to Pal Park of Sinnoh & Kanto where you can connect to past games for the Pokémon after you have obtained the National Pokédex. When you enter the PokéTransfer Lab, you'll get an explanation. You can then access the transferring program from this area whenever you want To do this, you will require 2 DSs, one with Black or White, and the other with Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold or SoulSilver. Then, when you go to connect, you will get a DS Download play application which will link in with your fourth generation game. Like Pal Park, you send over 6 Pokémon at a time from your boxes. Unfortunately, however, you cannot transfer Pokémon with hold items or Pokémon that know Hidden Machine moves. Here are all the restrictions

**Unova**

* No Hold Items - (Game automatically puts them back in your bag)
* The Pokémon cannot know Hidden Moves (Cut, Fly, Surf, Strength, Defog, Whirlpool, Waterfall, Rock Climb) - Do note that you can send Pokémon with Defog through HeartGold & SoulSilver and Pokémon with Whirlpool through Diamond, Pearl & Platinum
* You cannot send Eggs
* You cannot transfer the Spiky-eared Pichu

Do note; If you transfer the Raikou, Entei, Suicune or Celebi obtained from events through the PokéTransfer, they will not unlock the Zorua and Zoroark events. To do that, you must use the Relocator.

**Mini-Game & Limits**

Unlike Pal Park though, the method of obtaining them here is a simple minigame. On the top screen, you will see various bushes and the six Pokémon will jump between various ones. Your task here is to use a Bow which shoots out Pokéballs to try and capture them. This is controlled with the touch screen and requires good aiming. There is a reticule on the topscreen so you can see where the ball is likely to land. There is also a time limit to the capture here. The rarer Pokémon tend to move faster. As time progresses, a pink cloud will appear which will make all Pokémon fall asleep for a short time so you can capture them. The Pokémon you fail to capture during this minigame will return back to the game you're transferring from and can be transferred again. Also, unlike Pal Park, you can transfer Pokémon at any time with no limits. As soon as you have transferred your six Pokémon and completed the mini-game, you will be asked if you wish to transfer more. This can be done straight away and any number of times so you can get your Pokémon across easily. As you fill up your boxes, your box limit will increase until it hits 24 boxes.

**ESHOP SHUTDOWN MARCH 27, 2023**

The Poké Transporter, known in Japan as Pokémon Mover, is a piece of software that comes with the download of the cloud storage app, Pokémon Bank and allows for you to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 & White 2 over to your Pokémon X & Y games. Poké Transporter only requires one 3DS system and is a simple programme to use, allowing you to transfer batches of Pokémon in one go by placing them into the Pokémon Bank box. These Pokémon are transferred one way, and cheated Pokémon are unable to be transferred. Online is required. The method of transfer is relatively simple. When you load up the specific Poké Transport app, you will have the ability to select a Box of Pokémon in your Generation V game. When you have selected the box, it will remove any items from the Pokémon and place them in the bag, then upload the Pokémon to your Pokémon Bank system using the Internet. There is one restriction, however. The Pokémon you transfer are only the Pokémon within Box 1 of your Generation V game. If you wish to transfer more Pokémon, you will need to move them into Box 1. You can transfer any Pokémon within your box, includingones knowing HMs, but you cannot transfer Eggs, Black Kyurem or White Kyurem. When you access your Pokémon Bank system, the Pokémon can be found in the special Transport Box, where they can then be moved to one of your 100 Pokémon Bank boxes or down into a box in Pokémon X & Y. You cannot transfer if the Transport Box is filled and you cannot move Pokémon into the Transport Box in Bank. Unlimited From Nintendo EShop’s 3DS Shut down: With the discontinuation of the Nintendo eShop service for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Pokémon Bank service for Nintendo 3DS will become available at no cost to users. You will still be able to transfer the Pokémon you’ve deposited in Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME even after the paid service is discontinued, and you’ll still be able to bring Pokémon into Pokémon Bank from compatible titles. However, you’ll need to be enrolled in a paid Pokémon HOME Premium Plan to do so. On March 27, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. PDT, Pokémon Bank’s paid passes will no longer be offered for purchase, at which time Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter will no longer be available to download. On the same day, Trainers will be able to start using Pokémon Bank at no cost. Be aware that there will be no refunds for paid passes that have already been purchased. Note that players will see an in-game “Free trial period!” message followed by a line that says “?XX days.”, where XX is a number between 00 and 99. This line can be ignored.
