[@jahmocha9542]

You can transfer Pokemon from old gen 1 and 2 carts into gen 7 if you have: •A device that lets you convert GB save data into a file on your computer (like the GBxCart RW) •A homebrewed 3ds with save data backup software (like Checkpoint) •Virtual Console copies of the old games on the homebrewed 3ds. Using this, you can back up the save file of the original game, put that file on an SD card and into your 3ds, and use the save backup software to insert the old save into the VC version of that game. Then, you can transfer the Pokemon into gen 7 with the Pokebank. Tama Hero has a video detailing all of this.

I remember someone commenting how they had their teams from Blue, and everyone was calling them some nasty names, but it is possible to transfer gen 1&2 Pokemon to Gen 3, albeit a lengthy and difficult process that requires some 3rd party hardware, emulators, and a few other things. In Gen 4, it'll say faraway place in the Pokémon's info. A document titled, "Converting Gen 1 &2 Pokemon to Gen 3 and Beyond" explains in full detail on how to do it.

[@UltraAryan10]

Hidden Power and Pursuit would be too OP to be exclusive. And Game Freak is minimizing useful event moves and exclusive moves anyway to make competitive more accessible.

[@roundy4717]

They probably added the deleted move data in so the game wouldn’t break when players inevitably try to transfer Pokemon with deleted moves into SWSH.

[@MiriaJiyuu]

I know your comment is old, but I suspect you are both right and wrong. From my understanding every game has all previous games data, they just make things unobtainable. Like gen... 4? Mulch data is in the alola games despite it being unused. I suspect they have large libraries of all moves/items that they just don't remove things from because it's unnecessary to do so.

[@jake120007]

I wish they still had mega evolution. Z moves make sense to be removed, because you need Alola`s Z-power to use them. Mega evos though, not so much.... Dynamax probably wont return either because you need dynamax energy and a power spot.

[@avalosp]

Unless you release Eternatus in another region other then galar,then Dynamax will be possible

[@eternallegacy89]

Amanda Pappas I kinda want them to keep that as a perma feature but tweak it for legendary encounters at least for mythical Pokemon when they are released through events, earn them in a group battle and catch them through a raid battle but like pogo have at least 10 people and remove the stupid function oh 4 get kicked out shit.

As a programmer I can say pretty confidently that the data of the moves are there just to prevent bugs and that was probably the easiest way to do it. Especially nowadays that is not necessary to optimise memory as much anymore.

[@l_yago]

I also think that they removed them so not to have to make proper animations for those movements.

[@jordonrose7095]

Could also be that they don't have data set aside for each move prior to the Pokemon reaching sword and shield, but rather worked a way in to read in the data from the old game, and add any necessary information to round it off.

[@Moutopher]

That actually sounds pretty lazy for Game Freak to do that while not innovating all that much from the last game

One thing he didn't clarify directly: There are literally hundreds of species of Pokemon that you can transfer INTO Home, but not out of it!! Once Pokemon are in Home, they can't go to any game except Sword/Shield -- they can't even return to the game they came from. The problem is that not all Pokemon are coded into Sword/Shield, so any of the Pokemon that aren't, CANNOT be transferred into Sword/Shield, and are just stuck in Home.

[@doodlebug6833]

keep in mind im a hardware guy not a software guy, but i know a thing or 2,i have many theorys on how this may happen but heres an interesting one. maybe for the move transfer and having it not work in game is maybe because when you trade a pokemon the attack move files are attached to the pokemons files and tranfered to the new device. Then the game may have a formula for figuring out how to identify and use a move in the game(knowing pokemon as a company this is probably an old format they been using for years at this point), now for how the new game sees the old moves but can use them, since the games uses the formula, it finds an answer and that answer may have an a format for creating lettering vs having tons of preset moves and descriptions saved in the game as 100s of letter taking up drive space, ntm the programmers time saving that much typing time. now you see the moves lettering, but you never see it animation, that is what i believe that causes there error in the game and when the game finds a file that doesnt have an animation that stored in said game it gives you a message saying "hey you cant use this move". Keep in mind this is possibly pure fodder as for i never looked in to see how pokemon programming works, i typed this one out for some food for thought and maybe digging up to find the right answer. it is an interesting theory, now im going back to the show XD

When you transfer sword and shield Pokémon into Home, even if they go straight back to their original game you lose the friendship values you had. Idk if you mention or are aware of it, I have seen both your other Home videos talking about the process and I don’t think it was mentioned, just thought I’d let you know

[@xavierwastaken6891]

I don't think you can transfer pokemon from pokemon home to the old games. Only from the old games to home and then to sword/shield

[@Pokeepogo]

Pedro Xavier I meant when it goes from sword and shield, into home, and then back into sword and shield. So I transferred a pokemon I had full hearts with from sword into home, then back into the same sword game and it lost all its hearts and didn’t know me or the other Pokémon it used to

[@littlegamit9581]

I think the moves data transfers with the Pokémon which, in my head, means that you can see what the move was, what its type was, the moves power, accuracy, type, other type(ranged or melee) and pp. So the move is deleted in game but not for the Pokémon

Not only is leaving the data in the game weird it's bad for performance since your game files consists of mostly bloat.

[@KonDragon008]

Why are no PokeTubers talking about the Error 992 issue? My experiences with Home have been terrible so far. After a couple days of using the free version to see how it worked (and if it worked), I paid for a one-month Premium sub so that I could transfer my pokes over from Bank. The next day, I hit error 992 and have not been able to access Home on the Switch or on my phone. The Rowlet I transferred over which had its hidden ability also lost the HA once it was in my copy of Shield (as did my Litten with Intimidate). Now they just have Overgrowth and Blaze. And thanks to 992, I'm losing out on free Pokemon Bank time as well as wasted days of paying for the Premium sub (yes, it was only $3...but I feel like they took my money and ran with it since I haven't been able to access the Bank since; and no, there were no hacked pokemon involved).
