Yeah you have to local transfer to Generation 5 (Black/White) Then it's one box at a time, constantly swapping between Poke Transporter and Pokemon Bank to clear the transfer box.

From that point you do have a choice of X/Y, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and (Ultra) Sun/Moon to transfer the older ones. Ultra Sun/Moon is the absolute latest and has 5 new Pokemon in the coding that are unobtainable in regular Sun/Moon :Poipole, Naganadel (Poipole's evolution. Also it can't breed and you only get one,) Stakata, Blacephalon, and Zeraora(Mythical.)


The demos won't work. Though there are some exclusives to transfer over to the retail game.

Yeah, moving all my poo poo to White is what I’m currently doing. I had already previously consolidated most of my stuff on Diamond for some reason so I’m done with SS/Platinum. Now the real bulk transferring (6 at time) beings.

In the game, yeah. Spoilers for the probable plot if they follow the game.

They're infected with Mewtwo's genes which causes them to go berserk and rampage.

You see a lab in the trailer where the evil Greninja squad are emerging from pods where they presumably had procedure so it looks like its following that aspect of the game

To be fair we never got a third game or second pair for X/Y, and we didnt have a system switch, so it probably seemed weird to have a Generation switch "so soon"? Granted, we had ORAS and I don't think remakes come before third games.

FRLG came before Emerald

havent played detective pikachu but from bulbapedia i have deduced ryme city is near mountains and has a wharf so i conclude it must be based on the pacific northwest. since it is also a generic new york stand-in in the movie it seems very likely that it is in fact pokemon vancouver

I think we know "Ryme City" isn't in any current regions, or hasn't been mentioned previously. So my thought is that it's a new region and Ryme City is the new Veridian/Lumiose/WTF ever other main city was in the games. Then fans of the movie can go "cool I want to visit there!" and play the hot new Gen 8 game, and older fans of the franchise can also go "I wish we had a region like that!" and so on.

It will be like Orre or where the Ranger/Puzzle League/various other spin-offs take place, and have zero connection to the main games.

I don't know. Spinoff games don't have nearly the "new fan" pull a real movie does. This movie has Deadpool as Pikachu, and they are going to want to milk it for all it's worth. With the movie out next month and an announcement tomorrow, it only makes sense that stars are aligning on the gen 8 region as being the same in the movie for better visibility and interest in the brand. I'd also expect, if there's any "exclusive" pokemon in the movie we haven't seen before, that they'll also be in the roster of gen 8r's as well as catchable in Pokémon Go.

drat, you're right. I was excited to see it too and now I've got to wait longer because the movie comes out later than I'd originally thought. That said, the rest of my point still stands.

I'm saying that folks who watched the movie might be interested in exploring those lands in the game, and perhaps vice-versa. Nowhere did I suggest that the new movie had to be a game tie-in to generate interest.

The upcoming announcement got me hyped for Pokémon and poke bank needed a newer game so I went ahead and looked into Ultra Sun. Of course Nintendo being Nintendo turns out I needed to make a Nintendo Network account and tie it to a 3DS and once that’s done it’s tied forever to the device unless you transfer to a newer and this is all stupidly complicated for history trying to move my poo poo around and I didn’t want to tie an account to my buddies 3DS.

Long story short I said gently caress it and bought a 2DS XL and now I’m starting Ultra Sun so I can get caught up on Pokémon, transfer my 385 Pokémon from White, and get ready for tomorrow.
