yo DO have your living dex ready to transfer in and claim the shiny mythical, right anon?
It's not going to have the shiny mythical at day 1 thoughever
>>59119883NoI stopped caring over a decade agoAll my gen 7 and lower mons are rotting in an unpaid home account, if they haven't been deleted by GF at this pointAnything else is rotting in their games, on a switch that's been taking dust for over half a decade now
>>59119959Are you me? Living Dex up to gen8 everything organised by generation in unpaid home. Many event mons too, used to collect event pkm during Gen 6 and 7... Gen 8 and gen 9 I have the living Dex in their games and I don't play for so long I don't remember when was last time...
Just completed it earlier this morning actually, when I found an Auspicious Armor to evolve one my shiny Charcadets into Armourouge. Delighted, only got about 10 free spaces rn.
>>59120009i have everything except for rotom. grinding special scans fucking sucks
>>59120033Its terrible game design.I left those mons for this moment so I could at least use my older mons for the grind.
>>59119883Yes, of course I do.You DO have a living shiny dex just for the funsies, right OP?
>>59119883Yes. I just need to organize my DLC boxes in Dex order.
No but it's most of the way there and I specifically stalled on it to finish it and the DLC with transferred bros.
>>59119883Yeah, I just hope FRLG don't have their own dex rewards too because I don't wanna buy that shit
>>59120118Unless all those are alphas then you are a dirty casual.
>>59119883what is that title below legends za
>>59120652Way ahead of you lil bro >>59120654The DLC
anyone wanna trade me a rotom? im fed up of grinding special scans. can give you rareballs or shinies in return
>>59119883Got filtered by getting multiple trainer battle 6 star HSHs in a row. I'll get around to it eventually
>>59119883I am excited to transfer my FRLG Pokemon forward to SWSH, BDSP, PLA and SV to get them as many ribbons as possible.
>>59120724Does LA (the P is redundant) even have Ribbons?
>>59120730yeah, 1. you get it by posing for a photo in the photo studio
>>59120724>he doesn’t knowanon…
I completed the vanilla Z-A dex but haven't bought the dlc because I've heard only bad things
>>59120781you got manipulated by plassapologist. The dlc is great if you actually like Pokemon.
>>59120789i hated pla and the za dlc is shit. ironically its very similar to pla because its just grindy repetitive busywork
>>59120790why are you liking on the internet?
>>59120789Does it turn back into a turn-based RPG?I thought it was just ZA but even more annoying.
>>59120763what...
>>59120724mons from frlg on switch can only go to za and gen 10 anon.
>>59120819huh...................................
>>59120819For what reason?They're literally just emulations of the GBA games, and the mons from those can be used in the Switch games.
>>59120818I'm guessing with the new localisation standards for L: Z-A, they'll be applied to FRLG transfers out, precluding them from being allowed to be sent back. Now, always a chance they keep them as their own entity in Home until then moved into a different game, but the odds are they just get the new standard applied and you'll need to wait until they get released with a new game, if they're not already able to go to L: Z-A.
>>59120836blame the latinx
>>59120841but...my koffing...i needed him to evolve in galar...
>>59120849Like I said, might be a chance they allow it to move there. But I'm just letting you know there's an equal chance they won't.
>>59120848What is a "latinx" and why should they be blamed?
>>59120858they added latinx localization for za, which is what people assume stops them from going to previous games
>>59120855
>>59120863Nah that’s BS Gamefreak just doesn’t want to have to update the old games’ legality checkers to account for backporting shenanigans
>>59120875the legality checkers are in home, not the game themselves.
>>59120880I’m pretty sure the games check too for multiplayer?
>>59120885That's a seperate check, usually for more major illegal stuff like moves it shouldn't have or balls that aren't possible. Sometimes those checks don't update quickly enough and you have a situation where a pokemon that recently became catchable in an apricorn ball can't be traded until a day or two later.
>>59120885they check moves, but those are completely different. sv resets moves to what you learn by level up when you move something in. swsh has a legality checker, again for moves, at the battle tower but allows you to move anything in.
>>59120875its not a legality issue. a pokemons language is part of its data. as of za, latam spanish exists as a new value for that field. that value doesnt exist in older games. for gf, they have the following options:>have it display as something else when sent back, likely eu spanishgiven that latam spanish was added because the whole argument is that its different from eu spanish, that wouldnt be popular>prevent specifically latam mons being sent back"why are latam players being singled out? is this racism?"the actual answer is for gf to not be lazy fucks and update the older games to recognise and display latam spanish in the language field, but thats never going to happen, so this is what we get. ww are adding brazilian portuguese, btw, so theyll be another point of no return
>>59120895>pokemon that recently became catchable in an apricorn ball can't be traded until a day or two later.Yeah that’s the kind of thing I’m talking about
>>59120904maybe i'm misremembering, but pretty sure every ball is available in sword and shield and scarlet violet and everything can be caught in any ball
Honestly kind of disappointed I didn't farm dozens of level 100 furfrou to scam all those impossible home shiny legendary trades that will have no doubt forgot to take them down. I had originally planned that when ZA was announced, but I never even bought it. Oh well. Live my dreams, anons. Ruin those smug fuckers for me.
>>59120849Just wait for llegend galar stupid lol
>>59120910they were all hacked anyways
>>59120910Don’t furfrou revert to normal form when transferred into Home unless it’s from Go?
>>59120730Los Angeles? Why would Los Angeles have ribbons?
>>59120901Wouldn't that only count for 'mons sent FROM LZA not TO it?Like the original language would be the same no matter what game it's sent to.Same with the new balls in LA.Why does that matter if I just want to transfer my Switch-port FRLG mons to BDSP or ScVi?
>>59120936It changes their data or some shit when they get there idk i ain’t a scientist and those mother fuckers are lying and getting me pissed.
>>59120934Why would the city where Hollywood is not have ribbons? The fuck are you on about?
>>59120907yeah it's not relevant now that the game's lifespan is complete, but the first day I had transferred in a Moon Ball Ursaluna (caught in BDSP, transferred to ZA to evolve, then transferred into SWSH) he was blocked from joining raids. The next day there was no longer an issue with the same Ursaluna.
>>59119959This but I cleaned out Home and put my shit in various 3DS carts.
>>59119883Will this update also add FRLG connectivity? I really want to know if it's going to work like LGPE where you can deposit them but also bring them back to the game as long as you don't transfer them to other games
My XY Greninja is finally coming home after a 5 years timeskip...
>>59120998They already said FRLG > Home is one way. I'll also add, there was no indication it'd work differently to how Bank treated VC RGBYGSC where that was also a one-way transfer. Rule of thumb is unless they allowed backwards transfers in the game initially, any re-released game will similarly not have backwards transfer capabilities.
>>59121069this chart doesn't help matters because it implies a pokemon from FRLG can enter HOME, and travel back and forth from SV and ZA without issue, even though them travelling to ZA should prevent them from going to SV afterward
So does this mean I can use the DLC mons on a fresh new file WITHOUT needing to finish ZA's main story?Cuz if not I don't give a flying SHIT
>>59121073It will and I'm sure Japanese players were told that prior (or they learned off the west from its spergs having their moments over it). Regardless, the small print actually clarifies FRLG transfers ARE one-way only, despite how "unclear" you perceive the graphic to be.
>>59121080Yeah? That's how Home always worked
>>59121069I'm coping. All of the one-way transfers so far have been because they were transported from a completely separate app (Transporter/Bank/Go). I remember LGPE games also having a one-way arrow despite the fact you can bring them back to the game. They're probably just going to add the poke transporter option that'll extract mons from your FRLG save and convert them to modern pokemon format
>>59121118I wasn't talking about whether or not you could transfer back to FRLG, the graphic is clear about that. I was saying that it doesn't clarify that pokemon transferred from HOME to ZA cannot be transferred back to SV or other older titles, the graphic has SV and ZA grouped together and shows you being able to both withdraw and deposit from them.
>>59121195I don't care either way, and I don't expect it, but if the can store Champs stats as separate metadata, then there's no practical reason they can't store native Gen 3 stats separately from the modern stats. It could be handled like the Time Capsule, without requiring the player to manually remove modern flourish first. It's possible, but I just don't see them doing it. I'm more concerned with these ports including all content, not adding in new forms of forward compatibility. Just give me all the old forms of Gen 3 and Gen 4 connection within a modern framework.
>>59120907What if for example they made Silvally catchable in WW and you backported to Swsh? It’d be illegal
>>59119883Yup i’ll be super happy to finally organize all my boxes
>>59120933We've never had furfrou in a modern game before this that directly connects to home, so who knows.
>>59119883I have one of everything except Hisuian Avalugg since I've done tons of special scans and it never showed up
>>59121417i keep getting its scans. grinding for rotom and ive seen h-avalugg like 4 times lol
>>59121356You wont be able to most likely given PLZA mons can't go back already.>>59120964Ursaluna in SWSH?
>>59121502Sorry I'm retarded and didn't double-check what I wrote:Caught in BDSP (via breeding), transferred to PLA to evolve, then transferred to SV.
>>59121614Doubly funny since you could just catch an Ursaring in a moon ball in SV
i finally got a rotom distortion!
>>59119883No. Despite my best work, I still haven't completed the Mega Dimension dex. The wormholes I'm looking for simply aren't spawning.
>>59120652I'm a hardcore shiny hunter and most of mine aren't alphas
>>59121754what do you need?
>>59121757Cobalion, Terrakion and Latias. I'm specifically shiny hunting them so I expect to take awhile
>>59121761oh yeah thatll take a bit. theres a pity mechanic for the legendaries with special scans at least, so youll get them all within 15 as long as you keep grinding, if theyre youre last 3
>>59120106Of course. I injected the shinydex this morning just after I injected my hormones as part of my transition.
>>59121811wholesome 100
>>59120933All the different hairstyles are in Champions so I imagine they'd stick when sending them into Home.
>>59121811common injectsissy w
>>59119883there is literally no reason why za mons can be sent to at least svliterally nonethere's literally no difference in the data, why the fuck are they doing this?
>>59121502>You wont be able to most likely given PLZA mons can't go back already.That was the point I was making, if they make Silvally catchable in WW they’d have to update Swsh to accept Silvally caught in non Pokeballs as legal. They don’t wanna have to think about that so they’re just arbitrarily locking backporting from ZA
>>59121954>there's literally no difference in the data, why the fuck are they doing this?Anon they add Latin American Spanish language option in ZA
>>59122000iirc, dataminers said they display as caught in regular Pokeballs for SWSH's case.Strange Ball is the placeholder for those kind of situations in games released after SWSH, meanwhile on SWSH itself they will show as caught in regular Pokeballs
>>59122173Another nerd media ruined by spanish speakers.. It's over.>>59121954(Partial) Jokes aside it's to trap and force people to play new games instead as much as possible. Consider it preperation for generation 10.
>>59121954Why the hell would you even want to send a mon from ZA to SV? Champions comes out in a week anyway.
>>59122177I’m not talking about strange balls this is getting lost in translation somehow. Swsh knows “Silvally in a heavy ball isn’t possible, it’s only ever been a gift Pokemon”. It lets you do most things with your heavy ball Silvally, but it still is flagged as a cheatmon and locks you out of ranked and some other stuff with it. But if sometime in the future heavy ball Silvally were to become legitimately obtainable and they allowed for reverse gen transfer they’d have to update Swsh to know that it is now possible to have legit
>>59119883PLZA rounds out the list, right? As of this point, every single Pokemon and form of a Pokemon has been on a Switch game with Home connectivity?Did they ever fix fucking Spinda?
>>59122292>PLZA rounds out the list, right? Yes
>>59120687sent ;)
What time will it be ready EST bros?
>>59122565The app is saying maintenance is scheduled to end at 8AM tomorrow EST. I don’t know if they block out a time and then if it’s finished early they pull it, or if that guarantees its down until 8AM at least.
Im happy that i’ll finally have all furfrou form registered as obtained from Kalos i’ve kept them in my living dex for years waiting to change their form
>>59119988>Gen 8 and gen 9 I have the living Dex in their gamesbetter hope your switch doesnt diehappened to me and lost over 100 shinies
>>59119883I've naturally got all the final stages of base LZA in order, but base and middle stages are something I'm lacking, as well as most the DLC mons because I burned out before I could get them.I'm in no particular rush, it's not like HOME is going anywhere for the next near-decade.
>>59122565app says 2 hours from now. thats not certain though, i think the maintenance announcement said it could go as long as 1am est tomorrow. and iirc these maintenances have historically run super late, i guess because>small indie studio
>>59119883Nah I still gotta get the 3/4 sword dorks, rotom, gimmie, and gold
delayed for another hour apparently
>>59123790nvm mobile app is working, theyre just staggering logins to not overload servers. za mega abilities should be viewable now if you can get in
I can't login someone post abilities
Lemmie in!!! I wanna see the abilibees!!!*rubs my tummy ten times fast*
Wheres the shiny mythical, Lebowski?
Server load MY ASSMy kid sister account has access already, she doesnt even pay home subscription. Why am I, a subscriber, still unable to log in.Fuck you too, Pokémon.
If you can see compatibility with champions it should also confirm the full launch roster right?
>>59123819Just tested on the kid sister acc. "The link to pokemon champions is currently undergoing maintenance".Will try sending some of my mons to her home and checking excandril ability
>>59122292>Did they ever fix fucking Spinda?Nope and not available from ZA either so they won't bother. Try again in Gen 10, in the meantime it remains as one of Bank's reasons to exist
>>59122292they haven't fixed spinda, and alolan rattata/raticate that didn't come through Let's GO are still trapped in HOME
No abilities viewable on the app, hoping datamine will show us what we need to know.
>>59123817I'm in but also I don't have any dex completion so I can't see the abilities anyway. Surely at this point someone with a living dex is in and has compiled a list?
Screw it I'm going to sleep then
>>59123850>I'm inis there a shiny reward for complating za dex?
>>59123857Not yet.
>>59123859Booooooooooo
>>59123849ugh
nice, they actually added the mega dex too
>>59123849Laaaaaaaaaaame
>>59123879Hows that work, when i transfer in hawlucha it automatically registers as mega?
>>59123879How about they add the shiny mythical gift, you HACKS
>>59123885id assume so, in game you get an entry when you acquire the mega stone but with no items in home i assume itd have to just be the base mon with a za origin
>>59123885no, it has to come. from the ZA to be registered in that dex, but you can see the mega in the national dex if you have any Hawlucha, also no abilities lol
so what, will they do another update next week when champions comes out? if the game is reliant on home compatibility to build teams, itd be very unpopular to have it be down for maintenance at launch
there is no new abilities to be registered on the ability dex
>>59123895They gave Hawlucha Attack Espanol and Defense Espanol wtf
>>59123901AAAAAAAAAA
>>59123901there is only one new move for the move dex, Ligth of Ruin
>>59123895>>59123901damn, thanks for trying
>>59123908yeah, we will have to wait for the data mining i guess, or for champions next week
>>59123901It’s so Chimechover
>>59123900I think some things can be configured server-side without the need for an update.If two new abilities could be datamined, that means the data is already there and they just need to pull a switch
>please wait a momentnah fuck that!
I’ve been waiting for a fucking hour!
>>59121636I was gonna say you could just catch a moon ball teddiursa in Pokemon Crystal but I forgot those games don't save pokeball data>>59123902I lol'd, ty anon
>still can't get inCan someone check if they updated Mega Gallade's ability?Coping that they changed it to Sharpness
im in on switch, but the switch app is pretty fucking useless so i cant really see anything worthwhile kek
>>59123983He got mold breaker
>>59123983still shows inner focus
I’ve been waiting for two hours now. Come the fuck on.
>>59123895>>59123920If they are trying this hard to hide the abilities then they are absolutely trying to prevent showdown grinders from figuring out the first Champions format early.
>>59124113It is pretty fucking gay that Smogon made their own ladder for it months in advance.
How much longer do these indie devs need?
>>59123906Which has also been retroactively added as my smeargle from X and Y now have it active and the move is registered even if I have not connected it to ZA.
TWO AND A HALF HOURS TRYING TO GET INTO HOME
>>59120652Alphas are overratedThe larger models make ranged attack have fucked aim, and if you wanna roleplay, the guaranteed IVs limit their possible characteristics, making them less interesting as unique characters
>>59124142>the guaranteed IVs limit their possible characteristics, making them less interesting as unique charactersLiterally who fucking cares?
>>59124146Me, homo
No shiny reward. Boooooooo
>>59124146Don't talk shit about my proud of its power Lucario
>>59124162theyll probably add it later, not like any of the other games had theirs at launch. the whole thing started with sv getting the meloetta a short while after the dlc dropped
Shiny hoopa and magearna soon
>Everyone already grabbed the Furfrou requests Boo
>>59124172I caught a shiny proud of its power by pure chance and it made my day
>>59124375Proud of his power, but doesn't let it go to his head.
>we have to keep the abilities hidden because…WELL JUST BECAUSE OKAYI hate Japanese niggers so damn much
>>59124395They're trying to keep them surprises, but for a game like this, Fuck Your Surprises show the damn abilities
>>59124375You know a lot of people made fun of that guy in that original thread but I gotta say as someone who does enjoy a good summary screen, it is a nice splash of text that adds a bit more soul into the series despite it not really accounting for basically anything.Not to bring Randy Pitchford into the conversation because the only thing I like about him these days is not even about him but his wife's restaurant business, but in Borderlands 2 the legendary weapon splash text too was often times a nice bonus. Sort of like an early personality mark. They really should have made those two aspects of a Pokemon linked.
>>59124388Characteristics and natures are such fun additions that make your Pokémon feel more like characters than disposable unitsBottlecaps and mints were the best things they ever added
>>59124446>>59124442You ninja'd me, but yesIt's a nice little bit of soul that makes the games just a pinch more comfy
>>59124451I think that summary screens just need a rework as it is. We've had route data saved in to them for the longest time, and it sucks that transfers never say what route they are from, even if they are from the same exact region. Also the date of capture is gone for transfers, only viewable in HOME...Characteristic text and natures are really the only things left that haven't been touched, and even then those really don't play a part in how the Pokemon behaves anyways. Emerald had the Battle Palace and surprisingly My Pokemon Ranch used natures to determine how each Pokemon interacts with others, but the characteristic value has always just been an IV judge value anyways, and while it's still nice to have, I wish they'd find some other use for it since IVs do not matter at this point.
>>59124395It's like they don't want us to get ready for Champions
>>59124498Sure, just send the code.
>>59124474If they get rid of IVs permanently, I'd still like the IVs to be left in if only to determine the "personality" of each individual creatureNatures determining food preferences is also a neat bit of flavor
I would pay a higher sub if they actually invested into Home's UI more. I feel like sorting could be so much better
>>59124494All you really need is to have the pokemon caught and in Home. It only matters if having EV's done before import saves on currency
Finally registered all my furfrou haircuts as obtained in kalos, it made my autistic brain release so much dopamine
First time using HOME.Do I seriously need to manually move every fucking one of my ZA Pokemon to register them in the HOME Dex? And with only a single box of 30 what the fuck is that.
>>59124656>And with only a single box of 30 what the fuck is that.you only get 30 if you dont pay. youll need to cycle your za mons in 30 at a time i guess. you can switch between 3 selection modes with the right trigger, the green one will let you batch select mons
>>59119883>transferred over all my boxes>wait why isn't the Dex finished>turns out I didn't have a spare Weedle in thereKinda funny. I still wish they'd just scan your save data to autocomplete the Dex in Home. That's what Bank did. Just make the Dex in the games keep a record of whether you logged an entry with the right origin mark. Hell even just scanning your boxes when you connect would be a thousand times better.>>59124656Yes. It's bullshit.Also if you have a Rayquaza, it needs to be deposited knowing Dragon Ascent to unlock the Dex entry for its mega.
>>59124653Don't forget to dump Pharaoh Furfrous on the GTS while there's still a chance.
Male and Female Mega Meowstic are considered different mons in HOME
>>59119883So, when I put Pokemon in Legends ZA, they will be stuck there and I cannot remove them from the game?
>>59124770No you can move them back to HOME and future games.
>>59124714They don’t even look different, they’re the exact same model
>>59124900It's possible that they get different abilities
>>59119959I've actually begun coming back to the franchise after being away for well over a decade. I've started by actually using PokéTransfer and PokéHome for the first time, and I'm transferring my Pokémon from Gen 4 and Gen 5 into PokéHome, and I'm starting to play the Gen 6 games for the first time. I'm planning on skipping X and Y because I've heard they're shit. And I'm gonna play Gen 7, and maybe I'll play the Switch generations, idk
If I transfer a mon with a nickname to ZA from Swsh, will I be stuck with the nickname forever since I can’t move it back?
>>59119883>no abilities
>>59124714They're internally considered different forms too. Male and female Meowstic have different level up movesets. Pyroar isn't because it's purely a cosmetic gender difference.
>>59125191>spoonfeeding retards
>>59120910I missed it. I missed my chance. The Furfrou economy vanished right under my nose! I'd been HOARDING Pharaoh-Trim Furfou for MONTHS since, previously, the only way to obtain it was through GO and, even then, you had to literally go TO EGYPT IN REAL LIFE to get it, making it one of the most difficult Pokémon to obtain. People were offering up shiny legendaries for this stinkin' dog. Now? It's all gone. I could have had anything I wanted. I had the golden dog-shaped ticket... Damn it.
>>59124982If anyone was curious the answer is Yes so make sure you’re happy with names of mons you’re forwarding
Can you transfer all the Vivillon with different patterns to ZA anons? The base game + DLC only has 3.
>>59120836Game Freak is retarded
>>59121069Hate how I can't move into FRLG. I just wanna play through Kanto's story on official hardware with Johto and Hoenn Pokémon
>>59125426even if you could the non kanto mons wouldn't evolve, tried this with injected eggs on rom and nat dex has to be enabled to do so
>>59125426You couldn't do that anyway inn FRLG until getting the national dex (seriously, the game's coded to prevent Golbat from evolving until post-game)
>>59121767I've got Latias to spawn. It's gonna be a difficult hunt with all the Alpha Noivern and Musharna raping me. I reset my donuts for over an hour and the only Sparkling Power Psychic 3 I got also had Alpha 3.
>>59125429I'm aware. From what I've beard, you can't even trade from a completed save. I believe the only ways are ACE and mystery gift (though that doesn't work on the Switch port)
>>59125437It's obvious we are getting RSE next year so you can complete the gen 3 nat dex.
>>59125426>>59125428>>59125429Just activate the national dex using ACE as soon as you reach Celadon then create yourself some eggs of those national dex mons. ez pz
>>59124714since when could you put mega pokemon into home
>>59125745You can't but the app draws data from the game to fill out your 'dex (dropping in Dragon Ascent Fug gets its mega entry though).>t.Didn't ME EF or get the Lucarionite Z and had to wait to complete the dexes
>>59125769if they can do this why do i still have to manually deposit my mons instead of them just reading what i have in home to fill my dexs?
>>59125779How else are they gonna coerce you into buying a subscription? It's almost like Pokemon Home's existence is completely superfluous and only exists so TCPI can take advantage of all the single adults with too much money and not enough sense.
>>59125224I feel you buddy.
https://x.com/Kaphotics/status/2039884146072273250Locking Pokemon to newer games so you can't use pkhex on old pokemon unless it's in the ZA dex
>>59126172As expected from those greedy bastards
>>59126475I have my collection backed up in Ultra Moon and spread across gen 8/9 all backed up to my pc because of modded consoles They really want to kill that with gen 10 / switch 2 and force you to pay for home but at this point I might just quit the transferring game
>>59126172How does this even remotely stop pkhex? You can still inject in any switch game, including ZA, and send that shit to Home. Not being able to send a ZA mon to SV doesn't matter when we will all be sending everything to Champions in a few days.
>>59126500it becomes a problem in wind/wave because none of the pokemon beside something in za pokedex one can go to a game that can use pkhex
>>59126505How do you know we won't be able to transfer mons from any of the other Switch titles to WiWa?
