The Better Poke Bank! Transfer Any Pokemon, No Clones/Dupes!*

I'm finally uploading the better transfer guide for any pokemon game pre gen 8.Shocker it's just using PKSM, but it is a million times more efficient than the PKhex method.
*For gen 1 and 2 pokemon on cartridges, you will still have to make a save bu for transferring. If you don't want dupes or clones, just restore your bu on your cart after you trade the mon from the bu. Then you will have no clones or dupes.

It's incredible that hackers are doing way more for the community than Nintendo ever did. Great guide! I really don't like duplicating pokemon, so this was perfect for me. I just want to bring my old pokemon to the present.

Couldn't agree more!

[@Bane_Amesta]

Thaks for all the info, I'm already thinking about transfering my pokémon and I had a few doubts. Cloning seems a bit more safer to me just in case so I'll definitely try that. But I have to inform this just in case, the other day PKSM bugged my FireRed save and I lost a bit of progress, and Mewtwo, no idea why. I managed to get it back and all, but is something that may happen, so I advise to backup your saves before messing around with PKSM lol

[@SleepyTaylor]

I agree, cloning(which can be done with pksm/checkpoint) is the best option to ensure safety, some people don't feel like that is "authentic" though. My recommendation is making a save bu before editing and still editing the main cart, that way you always will have your original save, and can still do "authentic" transfers with your cart without any worries of losing anything. Someone mentioned using script injection in some gens can mess with your save, so good to know! I am a massive advocate for save backups. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SAVES. NO MATTER WHAT haha. For real though, even if you never intend on editing your save in any way, having a backup will only ever benefit you. Life happens, you might not have that specific cart "forever", but you can have the save "forever".

Hi, I’ve got a bit of a problem: so I’ve got Pokémon emerald installed as a CIA (I’ve got it as a virtual console on my home menu just like you) and i followed the Title ID method exactly as you did, even going back and making sure I used the correct ID, but it keeps telling me “Title ID not found”. Any idea on how I can fix this?

[@NiroDragonLord98]

Very interesting

[@noahlayne4634]

Hi there. I was curious if this could be used to simply transfer from VC game to VC game as well? I’m trying to complete dexes but don’t have access to a second console to trade.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Yes and no haha. Normally you can, but there is a bug in the version 10.0.0 that prevents moving pokemon into gen 2, and possibly gen 1(haven't tested this one) VC games. You can move them out, they just don't save when you try to put mons into them. Your choices for cloneless transfers is to wait till they update the app, or if you know how to compile apps from github, you can compile the app yourself. The code on their github is always up to date and patched, they just wait to push actual updates. I unfortunately don't know how, but I can't imagine it is too difficult to compile code into an app. It just looks like you need to download a few programs. Either way you choose, once it is done, you'll be able to use the pksm storage as a termp holder for your mons to send them to your other VC games.

[@johngrant3137]

So does it emulate the original mechanism used to transfer mons between generations ? Say i move a mon from gen 3 to gen 7 then to home it will be legal and seem as if it was transferred with poketranporter ?

[@SleepyTaylor]

You got it! I've transferred several mons into home and into newer gen 8 and 9 games, none have ever been deleted. My shiny Arceus even sat in home for like 3 years before I sent it to PLA. I even got my mew a battle ready mark in SwSh, so they were for sure seen as legit. The first time I used home, my sos shinies got duped somehow(good ol ILCA spaghetti code), and even those never got removed. So I feel like it's pretty hard to get your mons deleted.

[@Tony-kr8hy]

Thanks for the vid! I have a question if you can help me. I have my old 3ds with my nintendo account and a Pokemon Moon cartidge. I also have a second 3ds with cfw. Is there any way for me to send my pokemon from my cfw games into the old 3 ds and then send them into pokemon home?

[@SleepyTaylor]

I'm not sure if you can still log into account, but if so, I'd say the easiest way would be log in on the cfw 3ds and install bank using the hshop. My other recommendation would be, dump your moon cart for the rom(if you don't already have a gen 7 game installed on your cfw 3ds) and install it onto your 3ds. Then you can just move all your mons into the installed version of moon with pksm and trade them to your official moon cart inserted into your 3ds with bank installed. I think that's the best bet

[@TannerDuran]

So, would this work with the Pokémon games I have as roms through Twighlight on my homebrewed 2DS? or is it only for physical and digitally copies directly on the system and not through roms and what not?

[@notmeirl]

you can do it you just have to select the file path for your roms save file

[@Rose_J]

Another question. I recently bought an R4 card. Does that perform the same functions as the Cart Dumper you mentioned in the video? By the way, thank you so much for answering peoples questions. Not many do.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Yes and no. It does work for gba games, but since the 2 slot ds isnt compatible with gb/gbc games, youd still need a cart dumper for them. Then again, if you have a 2 slot ds, you can just transfer the mons legit to gen 4 from gen 3. If you mean using roms on the r4, I'm not super sure unfortunately:/ No problem at all! Just dropping a video and not helping out when I can seems pointless to me.

[@Rose_J]

@@SleepyTaylor I do have a 2-slot DS, and a physical GBA game of Emerald. I do know that I can transfer mons legit, right up to Gen 7 and Home, but it requires an enormous amount of playtime. Each game that the mons are passed to have to be in post-game and have the National Dex. I was hoping for a shortcut with the modded process. That’s my understanding anyway. If I’m incorrect, I would love to know. 😉

[@SleepyTaylor]

You are correct! If you don't care about transferring them through an unofficial method, it is way quicker to just put the mon in gen 6/7 and then send if from bank to home. I only brought it up because some people do care haha.

[@Rose_J]

@@SleepyTaylor Yeah, I do care too. The only thing that’s pushing me, is the imminent death of Bank in 2024. I do have everything I need to do it legit according to a KZbinr called ZdsPro, except for game progress. Good grief, I think you have pushed me into changing my mind and rethinking the legit process. More work, but ultimately more satisfying. I’ll put some serious thought into it. Thanks for the discussion! 😀

[@SleepyTaylor]

With the eventual close it is likely they give us a few month notice if not a half year notice, so I wouldn't let that stress you out too much! This will always be a great backup choice if timing doesn't work out and you can't get all the games progressed far enough:) No problem at all, I love to chat about stuff like this!

[@PhillyCh3zSt3ak]

Out of curiosity, if I wanted to move mons I have from old games into Bank and then on into Home for one of the newer games in the series, could I or would this throw some flags with that system and basically ban my console/account? For additional context, these save files would be from legitimately owned, physical copies and the mons in question wouldn't be hacked in, hex coded in, etc. In addition, I considered using ROMs I already have of some older games as well (HGSS, DPPl, BW/B2W2) which require Transporter which can't be gotten legitimately. I did try looking around and didn't really find anything definitive to point me in one direction or another.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Yeah I should've been more direct with that, I only mention it in passing in this video, my bad haha. You can use this method to skip poketransporter and send pokemon from bank to home. That was the original reason I sought out this method. Shiny arceus can't be sent through transporter, so you have to use a method like this or pkhex to skip it and get them into Bank, then Home. I've sent multiple mons, including dupes(before I found out about pksm, the only method I knew involved duping), and have never been banned. Nor have they been deleted. I was even able to give my mew the battle ready mark in SwSh. My shiny arceus sat in home for multiple years and never got deleted either. Also I'm 99.99% sure you can just download poke transporter if you have CFW installed through the hackstore. So there is also that lol

[@LPcrazy_88]

hey bro awsome vid helped alot iw as wondering is there a why i can get title id for nds games

[@SleepyTaylor]

Thanks! I'll try my best. If you have a cartridge, you can check it 2 ways, roms you can check one way that i know of. I'm sure you can check with a hex editor with either, but I'm not counting that. There might also be an online log of them, but I haven't looked. If you have a cart, you can dump your save with GM9(I show how to dump a VC game, but the process is the same but easier). With cart dumps, you don't have to load the game first you just go to the "cartridge" option instead of "sysnand". Your save should be named the games title id, or you can dump the rom and check on your pc using something like the New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS. It will show the title id as basically right after you load your rom. This is also the method i'd recommend if you just have the rom.

Hi! Thanks a lot for the video, it cleared up a lot of things for me. However, I have a doubt. I edited one from my Pokémon in ORAS to turn into a shiny one, and now I want to transfer it to HOME; will Gamefreak detect that I edited it, or is there a risk of me getting banned for modifying this aspect of the Pokémon? Also, are Pokémon from emulators illegal to transfer to home? Also, I “created” a chimchar from pksm to beat Pokémon Black with, so the doubt goes with that one too. I’ve read that as long as they don’t have any ilegal moves or stuff like that, I should be fine, just wannna confirm it with you. Again, thanks for the video, a really complete one.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Glad I could help! I'm honestly not sure how in depth the checks are for legitimacy. I'd assume moveset, met locations would be the main 2. I don't think you'd get banned, at most they'd delete your mon in home. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with your question!

I would just double check that luma works on the update you are on. You can just google does luma3ds work on version(whatever is in your settings). They are normally super quick about putting out patches, if you even still have to update every patch. As long as thats good, go ahead a install cfw and go grab bank from the hshop!

[@skinnystickz1628]

bit of a stupid question but still wanted to ask if it was at all possible to transfer pokemon from pokemon black to pokemon home through this method and without the use of pokemon bank. i just got into shiny hunting and at the worst possible time with pokemon bank about to close in april 2024 and it would bring me a bit of relief knowing i still have different ways to get them across. i wanted to shiny hunt mewtwo on fire red and than send it over. again im sorry if youve covered this before in a different video but thank you for this video in the first place.

[@SleepyTaylor]

from my understanding there is a way, however it involves cloning your mons, cfw on both a 3ds and a switch, and a pc. I haven't looked too much into it, I plan on doing so when i acquire a switch with cfw. bank wont be closing in april, just everything else is shutting down online wise on 3ds. You can still download transporter and bank if you have a cfw 3ds/2ds from the hshop. Hope this helps!

I can`t find a reason neither a solution to this...

[@JulioBread]

I had an issue opening my backup files; a message appeared stating: "Backup couldn't be opened!" So far, so good. It wasn't until I transferred some Pokémon from my SoulSilver game to HeartGold for training that, upon returning to transfer them back to my SoulSilver game a few days later, they inexplicably disappeared. I want to recover them, and I'm not sure if you know anything about this.

[@SleepyTaylor]

@JulioBread So I just tested it out and had no issue. Sent 2 mons from SS to HG, did some battles and leveled both up with rare candies. Then I sent them back to SS and they were still there. I've never heard of them getting deleted randomly days later for no reason. I'll check back in a few days just to be safe. I also realized after typing all this out that it seems that your mons disappeared on your HG file, so i'll move mine back and leave them there. You said something about a backup error? Were you trying to load a savefile backup and not the cart? Or did it say the error when trying to make a backup? Did you make sure that you sent the mon back to your SS savefile and not back to one of your save backups? If you did send it to a save bu, then you'd need to restore that save to your cart first. Which can be done with checkpoint The only way I have ever made a pokemon disappear is doing this. -Mon is in my pksm storage that I want to send to a new game. -Open game to send the mon to. -After moving the pokemon from the pksm storage to the games pc box, I save changes. -After that I didn't press the blue save button to save the changes to my cartridge and backed out of the editor ignoring the warnings. This might also happen if you tried to close app without saving your changes, but have saved your PKSM storage changes already. Never tested it, just assuming it'd have the same results. In this case the pokemon was essentially in limbo when I closed the app. Since the pksm storage was updated to not have them, and the save I was editing was not stored to my cartridge yet, the mon got deleted.

I think that this video will be very helpful with what I want to do. Please tell if I can or not. I want to get and play through (digital) Emerald to the point that I can use a glitch to get Deoxys. I want to then transfer it to Bank then Home. Although I don’t really understand a lot of your video yet (until I’m familiar with the modded console), it seems to indicate that this might be possible. I’d like to know before playing the entire game and going through the glitch process. Thanks for any help.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Yep you are correct! For what you want, you'd want to setup an "extra save" in pksm, I show how in the video, it will let pksm see your digital install of emerald. From there you can send it to a 4th gen or newer game and start the official transfer process. Or you can just put the mon in a gen 6 or 7 game and skip most of the transfer process except from bank to home.

[@SleepyTaylor]

I don't think you'd be able to connect to home if it's a pirated version of the game. If you can connect to home, then you can still send the mons. You can also, possibly, use pkhex to transfer mons to sword. I haven't looked to much into what you can do with a cfw switch, as I don't own one:(

[@SleepyTaylor]

This is more for transferring between gens, 1-7. Sadly, only certain mons can be moved to gen 8+ unofficially and it requires cfw on both your 3/2ds and your switch. If you install CFW, you can still redownload pokemon transporter and pokebank. I linked them to someone else in the comments. ds/3ds game saves are stored on the cart, not on the system, unlike the switch. You could try to clean the contacts on the cart, it might help. If checkpoint(save back up app installed with CFW) detects the save, you can make a backup of it and move the save to another copy of X if you wanted.

My guess is you have an old version of pksm, and possibly cfw. Is your cfw up to date? My guess is your luma hasn't been updated in a while, so it isn't compatible with the latest version of PKSM. If you are up to date, I'd try downloading the .cia of pksm from github and manually installing the app.

When transferring Pokemon, say I wanted to use a Pokemon from an old game in an online battle or even compete at an event, do my mons get flagged as hacked or illegal?

[@SleepyTaylor]

I think the only time they can't be used is if they are pretty obvious hacks. Like illegal moves and so on. In SWSH, you had to get a mark/ribbon before using them, but you should be able to. They let me put one on my shiny English mew. Hunted legit, cheated to get to the island, but still not technically a legal mon.

So I haven’t done any modding to my 2ds and I am wondering how safe this is for my 2ds. Also how can I get my 2ds Pokémon onto switch after Pokémon bank shuts down?

[@SleepyTaylor]

As long as you follow the instructions, and don't skip steps, you basically have a zero percent chance of bricking your system. There may or may not be a big box store that you can get a 2ds at, try to add cfw, and return it if you do mess something up. I'd only recommend that if you are REALLLLLLLLLLY afraid of doing something wrong. Once pokemon bank shuts down, the only way, that I know of, would require having a Switch with CFW a well. PKSM has a Switch app(that they now are focusing more time on) that allows you to move mons from your 3ds PKSM storage to your Switch PKSM storage. I think switch pksm only works for let's go and SwSh at the moment. In time they will add more titles.

Seeing as even if you added pksm to citra, you’d still need a 3ds with cfw to open your pksm storage backup. Pkhex can do most things pksm can, if you are just looking to edit your save file in some way.

The games that appear in the video were all installed directly to the console. I had to manually add emerald to pksm using title ids. I don't remember the exact process for the twilight menu. Someone mentioned it in the comments, so feel free to look back. You can use the title id method if you look up how the other person managed it. You can also use the extra save option as well and just direct pksm to where your save is. I show both title ids and extra saves in the latter part of the video.

I think there is a way to make a ds shortcut so you don't have to open twilight menu every time, but I haven't looked into it much. As for events, all of them. From gen 3-7 at least, maybe gen 8 too. PKSM is a pretty handy tool!

[@spadesoface3528]

I noticed that you were active in the comments and i was hoping to get some help. I watched your whole video but i wasn't 100% sure if what I'm doing is the right process. I have roms of many ds pokemon games and 1 physical cartridge of a 3ds pokemon game, i have pksm and a homebrewed 2ds xl, i just wanna know how to get the pokemon from the roms to the game is all. I've gone through so many videos looking for help but none seem to be what I'm looking for, I just hope you gave the answer.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Yeah I always try to help where I can! Are the roms on your pc or on your 2ds xl? If they are on your pc, you'll have a few options. PKHEX will let you move individual pokemon from saves, however you do this by making a clone of the mon. I have a video on this method, it's the "how to skip pokebank" video, or something like that, it's one of my most popular videos. The other choice is to install the games on your 2ds, then follow the extra saves or tittle id sections of this video(depending on if you installed them by CIAs or by just using twilight menu). The second one has more "setup" to it, but the end result is clone-less transfers. Of course, if they are already installed on your 2ds, then most of the annoying parts are done.

Can I also just put a copy of the pokémon into the pksm storage? And then move them to home?

[@SleepyTaylor]

Nope, still gotta have a gen 6/7 game and bank. You have to send it through bank to home, pksm doesn't and will never connect to pokemon home, according to the devs. There is cfw on switch and pksm, so you can use pksm to get certain mons into switch games, but it's limited right now. edit. I should add, if you get cfw, you can download bank and poke transporter on the hackshop still.

Hello, I’ve had my copy of Pokemon Y from when I was a kid, but never transferred my Pokemon to Bank, or ever owned Bank. Is this a legitimate way to transfer them over to be used in future games despite them never being saved?

I want to use my save from my physical emerald copy on my 3ds. If I copy it to a r4 then import it using gm9 on my 3ds will it be my actual pokemon or duplicates?

[@SleepyTaylor]

Thats a gray area. It depends on if you consider save backups as cloning your mons. You will have to back up your save, you can apply your changes to the cart after you make them. If it makes you feel better about it, that's essentially what all bank systems do, including the official ones. They backup your save data, let you make changes to the backup, then you decide to apply that new backup or not to your cartridge. So you are just manually doing what the bank system does for you. Some people still don't consider that authentic, but that's subjective.

[@thedarkblackspeedy3140]

Can you still bring them to HOME? Or you need Bank still as a station. Cou can transfer Fire Red gba digital to PKSM and then to a Soulsilver game card version. And put those 2 then in storage and then in Black 2 and then to Ultra Moon in 1 go as long it is from storage as a station between games ??

[@SleepyTaylor]

You still need bank, but you can download it from the hackshop if you have cfw. You can use pksm to move mons from emulators/vc installs onto physical carts and then send them up properly. You can put them in a Gen 6 or 7 game to skip poke transporter and make it a bit more painless.

If you used ultimate injected you can use checkpoint to back the games data and it’ll be on your sd card… you can then always restore and or keep the back up.

[@SleepyTaylor]

Sorry I'm just now getting back to you! So someone else mentioned that their mon changed gender as well. It might be an issue with the converter, they will most likely fix if someone mentions it on their github or discord. If your pokemon changes gender, you can open editor in pksm and just swap the gender back to the correct one. Any time you restore a save file, you are just manually doing what official methods do automatically. When you use bank/home they don't edit your save directly. They make a copy, allow you to make edits, and then apply your new save to your game if you choose to save the changes. It's worked this way all the back to stadium 2 that I know first hand. So most likely stadium one worked the same as well. All this to say, you don't ever have to worry about a "clone status" or file, or anything like that. Also you should be able to breed the HA mon and send them up officially no problem! Hope this helped, let me know if you have any other questions!

I just browsed the pksm release page and I didn't see anything about not being compatible with spanish games. You are talking about a copy of pokemon installed onto your 3ds correct? If not, you have to use the Extra Saves feature of PKSM, I cover it in the video either before or after Title IDs. Id recommend double checking your titleid(either from your injector installer or by using the GM9 savedump method I showcase) and make sure it matches what you typed, making sure you didn't add an extra 0 or something. If it still isn't working I'd either recommend posting the Issue on Github(issues tab), or joining their Discord to get some info from the people who made the app themselves/ their community.
