Nintendo 3DS is AMAZING for Pokémon

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Honorable mentions include PKSM and FTP. PKSM operates similarly to PkHex, but it is an actual app on your console that can be installed via CIA. FTP, which comes pre-installed when you mod your console, allows you to transfer files between your 3DS/2DS and your PC remotely. This is done using the FTP protocol by setting up a host name and port on your console.

[@Fish_go_weeee-hv4cn]

Pksm is also on the universal updater

[@ultimate_pleb]

Yeah honestly when someone says "i want to play the pokemon series" i say "just get a 3DS" because that's really all you need

[@tauqeerdarve4876]

I was so excited for Pokemon games on the switch but eventually lost interest so I agree, 3ds can play any mainline game which matter (plus the rest of the vast Library)

[@Hardivh]

DSi XL, for the best graphics of the best pokémon games

[@ultimate_pleb]

@@Hardivh i have 2 and i 200% agree

[@AmazingGrandCross]

I modded my 2ds recently to be able to back up my saves for my actual DS cartridges through checkpoint and its super nice. Gonna download all the virtual console games soon as well!

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Awesome! This console is truly amazing and the save file extraction for every game definitely makes it even better.

[@omegapharaoh6978]

I absolutely adore my 3DSXL but the DSI XL has the best pixel count for that native feel w/ the older Pokemon games 😅

[@Raphtor13]

Yep - I've been using my DSi XL for all my DS games as well.

[@tonysaturnino8374]

I modded my 3ds to exactly do this, I want to catch every pokemon and send them to Pokémon home, that’s going to be a really long play time

[@Moneyboi98]

Can you transport these pokemon to home?

[@Moneyboi98]

I thought it needed to be a physical copy in order to transport

[@roxas_ssj3457]

I also want to learn how to do that cause I want to send my shiny charizard from leaf green all the way through my Pokémon violet

[@tonysaturnino8374]

@@roxas_ssj3457 that’s a little more tricky if you want to do it as legit as possible you need a gen 4 game that is complete along with a gen 5 also complete, send your gen 3 Pokémon to gen 4 via pal park and to gen 5 with (I forgot the name) and then to poketransport and then to home If you don’t care about the legit way you can use pkhex to send to a gen 6 or 7 game and then to Poké bank then to home

[@Grymfell]

If uou use a save manager you could use PkHex to transfer it through to other games and then to Home

[@Surepeacooler]

Currently playing Pokémon moon on a modded 3ds and loving it, I have a 2ds with pokemon sun previously installed but i had to uninstall for storage space ages ago. Now i have a better SD for my 2ds and now i can battle between the 2 systems giving one to someone else.

[@suud92]

Brother, this is unrelated but thanks to your FRLG shiny RNG video I was able to get 3 of my dream shinies. Really appreciate your content and I hope to see you do a video on Gen 5 Shiny Wild Pokemon RNG in the future. Thanks for your informative, straight to the point videos!

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Thanks for the feedback 🙏 Don't worry, I'll cover Gen 5 in a near future!

[@nirgunawish]

wow what

[@pistolitalatina]

I would love for RNG manipulation guides using 3DS and VC for Gen1/Gen2 and the Gen3 injections

[@QTwentyTwo]

I dont mean to be the "erm actually" guy, but it is important to note that twilight menu does not emulate DS ganes. It boots the system into DS mode to play them natively just as it would if you played a retail DS cartridge on an unmodified (or modified) system.

[@ItsLazyHunter]

You're correct. "TWiLight Menu++ - Not technically an "emulator", rather it's a frontend for a separate program, nds-bootstrap, which allows for an NDS ROM to be loaded from an SD card. The program is originally designed for the DSi, however it's able to work on the 3DS by utilizing the virtual DSi (aka the TWL_FIRM or "DS Mode") that the 3DS has for backwards-compatibility"

[@Knivesisi]

You don’t need to download nds bootstrap separately, all recent releases of twilight menu ++ have it included

[@nirgunawish]

i still run twilight menu off my ds r4 on my 2ds xl :^)

[@AGuy-s5v]

I've never needed to use twighlight menu. I just downloaded gens 4-5 and called it a day.

[@erecto_patronum]

People are better getting an r4 type cartridge for all their DS games.

[@oscarbarron3681]

Pksm is on the updater and its basically pkhex on the 3ds, also you can use the ultimate injector to make gba games cia files so you can just download them. The sd card should be set to 64kb clusters so bigger games dont get screen tear. Also there is a forwarder on the updater aswell.

[@Cinnamonraisin_Bagel]

honestly it's nice you can even get most these games on 3ds in general (gen 1/2 through virtual console and then gen 4-7 via cartridges)

[@sc3ku]

Pulled my 2DS out of storage since 2017 and modded it this year- since then I’ve used it as much as my Switch. it’s the best ever Nintendo device for retro games!

[@DJronical37]

gen 5 and 7 have my heart

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

You don't need to mod your 3ds for those games, lol

[@TheyThem_andM]

Teach the people how to make cias out of Gen 3 games. Looks way better having them on the 3ds home screen like a virtual game. Rather than opening Luma menu

[@ItsLazyHunter]

That sounds cool, didn't know you could do it! Will look into that for sure and add it to the guide

[@amberapollyon]

yeah cias are nice but when you turn the gen 3 games into GBA .cias they are forced to run in the native GBA/DS mode the 3ds comes with, and you cant access the rosalina/luma menu or use speed-up/cheats. when in GBA/DS mode the 3ds part of the system kind of... goes to sleep until you close the game, thats why you cant access the home games without closing the apps.

[@DirectImpact]

Its a pc application called new super ultimate injector. ​@ItsLazyHunter

[@ThePlayaJohn]

I’ve backed up all my DS and 3DS pokemon cartridges and there saves to my 128gb sd card it’s so good having them right on the system and not have to carry the carts around

[@omegaplays1666]

Are you able to trade and transfer from The Gen 4 and Gen 5 games still ? Or would you have to remove your save to cartridge?

[@suki-naki]

This was very informative. Thank you so much. I modded mine last night so i can play pokemon games. I do have a question for you or anyone else. Is there a way to battle friends? long story start this all started with a joke with my brother saying he could kick my butt.. So i'm looking into getting a DS LITE but he had a 3ds laying around. So i took it and am learning about all the mods you can do. I'm still fine with getting a DS LITE to battle, assuming you can, but is there a way to do it with 3ds? we are wanting to battle all gens of pokemon. Thank you !

[@ahmedrizwan7235]

Hey can you please make a video about how to make shiny rom hacks. Like regular games but with boosted shiny odds for wild Pokemon. Just bought a 3ds xl and that's all im thinking about. Doing it in between with pksm or hacking pokes one by one in pk hex seems tedious. Im looking to make shiny hax for gens 3 and up. Just want a natural feel of running around and catching shinys without sinking massive amount of time. An additional features would be to make trade/ special evos as level ups. If you've already made these just share the title/ links and ill be mkre than happy to follow along. Major thanks in advance

[@ianlee7153]

Does this allow me to upload ROM files of my progress on my PC to the 3DS?

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Yes

[@Jhosnghtmr21]

I would reccomend use PKSM in the 3DS, you dont have to export any data or something like that

[@kanekify2322]

Hey i got question iv user twilight menu about 1year ago and i used to use it for shiny hunting in gen4 games but theres problem with it soft resetting for shinys it takes while for it to boot back up did they fix this issue so its just like real cartridge?

[@bogdweller27]

Just get pksm and you can transfer gen 1-3 pokemon directly to gen 7 without even needing pokemon bank. Ive got virtual console versions of fire red and emerald and pksm recognizes both of them.

[@TuPhonez4Free]

The switch is also the best for Pokémon as well plus your smartphone of course thanks to pokemon home and pokemon go

[@bluehunchoz]

hey is it possible to rng manipulate on an emerald cia file for legendaries ? and if yes what are some tool you recommend

[@Gatorboy5678]

I did the save data things but in Twilight Menu it still says “New Game”?

[@spoiledmillk6331]

Okay so serious question, if i were to “buy” my copy of pokemon sun from hShop would it work transferring pokemon into pokemon bank and home

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Yes

[@Geraldaoderivia]

Is it safe to use pokebank with a modded 3ds?

[@ItsLazyHunter]

Yes

You should make a guide for playing gen 5 online Also gen 6 and 7 if the fan servers work

[@KenE-Aokiji]

So I have games like renegade platinum and storm silver on my 3ds. Can the Pokemon there be transferred out to Pokemon home? I know you gotta make them legal again tho

[@roxas_ssj3457]

Thank you so much for this info but I have a question. So I recently dug up my old leaf green and found out that my gba still works and I thought a crazy thing. So I want to play all the games from leaf green all the way through the violet and thought to myself how about to hatch a shiny charmander from lg and transfer it to emerald, start the hole journey with a shiny charmander finish the game and hatch again a shiny charmander to transfer it to the next gen and so one so forth. But the problem is I don't have all the Pokémon games, so if I hack my 3ds can I transfer my Pokémon all the way to the Pokémon home and eventually to my switch games or hacking the game considers as cheating. Its so difficult challenge but I really want to try this if its possible... don't know if I confused you but if you can help with this it would be amazing...thanks in Advance!!!!!!

[@olivierweinheimer]

What NOBODY talks about is the fact that resolutions between 3DS and DS consoles are different and then makes all DS games and older looks like a mess of pixels. Why nobody talks about that serious issue?

[@Manueltion15]

I think you’re being dramatic

[@idkwhattohaveasausername5828]

Been playing DS games on my New 3ds and they look fine. I think it’s just because the xl has a bigger screen and because it’s so low resolution it makes them look worse. A smaller screen will make them look better as it’s a higher pixel density.

[@ahmedrizwan7235]

If you press start while launching the game from TM++ I think it launches games in their native resolution. But it will appear as a smaller screen on the XL models

[@pimphandjesus4667]

I just ordered a 3DS LL, need to homebrew it and might get a capture card

[@azurekite3870]

dude,you don't need a capture card anymore and just the artic base app and special version of citra that stream it on pc. and that capture cards are no more and cost alot and can break your 3ds and are not worth it.
