    I updated my Pokémon Transfer visualization and incorporated the feedback that I have gotten from you guys!

    * I have added the Generation I and Generation II games
    * I have added the Pokéwalker, Pokémon Dream World and Poké Ball Plus
    * Added a legend
    * Updated the layout
    * Now that Pokémon HOME has been released, I updated the transfer process for that as well
    * I removed the watermarks from the previous version 😉

    Bear in mind that this graphic entails the transfer process for the PAL region of Pokémon games. I hope you will enjoy this!

    EDIT: Just to be clear, the transfer from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME has not been released yet. Since it is going to happen, I went ahead and added it to the visualization.

  2. Wow. I had no idea Nintendo (Game Freak, whatever)was so consistent on transferring pokemon through the generations.

    So could you theoretically take a pokemon from Game Boy Advanced all the way to Nintendo Switch?

    This is awesome.

    **2022 notice**: Reddit has decided to permanently ban me under the guise of “violence” for this comment:

    >I expect the government will take more rights from this. Time to go buy another AR.

    If you are reading this, the reddit you are on is a shell of its early 2000s-2010s self. Most users you interact with here are paid to push an agenda or are coporate bots. I will be moving between 4chan, communities.win, and any other free speech forum that rises.

    There is also an unofficial method of transferring gen 1 and 2 to the VC versions. Not sure if it would be worth having on here though but it completes all things

  4. Moulinoski

    Wait, so Pokémon Home is only compatible with Pokémon from Sword & Shield and from the Let’s Go games?

  5. Cheatscape

    This will only get more complicated once a new game with more Pokémon restrictions comes out. GameFreak lied.

    Idk if this count or not but I had a friend who bought the digital version of Silver for his DS. I was able to trade some gen 1 shinies into my copy of Sword. They have the gameboy logo next to them too

  7. VirotroniX

    Can you already transfer from GO to HOME? Or is there a release date?

  8. ArcaneGlyph

    Did they finally get the Go to Switch stuff working? Last I tried months ago it was not up. I was very disappointed.

  9. all my pokemon are stuck in pokemon ranch cause I lost the game card associated with ranch

  10. Bobby-Bobson

    Huh. So there’s no way to transfer Pokémon from the first two generations on original hardware to the later ones?

    Also, yes, this is a monster; a pocket monster.

  11. We can criticize Pokemon all we want, but bloody hell, for creatures in a video game from 2003 to be able to be forward compatible with a Nintendo Switch game in 2020 and every aspect of the journey in between is amazing.

  12. Wait you can transfer pokemons from pokemon ranger? wtf?

    I feel like this could go in r/OrganisationPorn/. It’s making my heart flutter.

    Because nobody wants to see Mudkip no more.
    They want Snivy I’m chopped liva

    This is really good, except the Pokémon Crystal image is a bit low so the background clips with the red on the border by a pixel or two. Sorry I’m so nitpick-y.

  16. It’s fun to think someone could take its pokemon from one of the first games till today.
    I’m sure someone has done it.

  17. WarningMstrMuteEnabl

    It’s cool that this is possible, but it would have been way better without all the minigames to do it.

    That is a crazy log way around I put all mine from GB, GBC, and GBA on to a GameCube memory card using Pokémon Box. Then Transferred them all to Ruby. Then Transferred everything from Ruby into Platinum. Then eventually moved everything from all the DS and 3DS games into Bank, and then eventually moved everything from Bank into Home.

  19. It’s going to be so sad when nintendo discontinues pokemon bank, everything will be trapped forever

    So to get my chimp from diamond to switch is a long process

  21. Hambla28

    Can’t you transfer from Go to the virtual console red/blue/yellow?

  22. StableBeer

    Aaaaaaannnnnnddddd that’s how you get a shiny charm little brother!

  23. AaronThePrime

    You’ve created a monster… a pocket monster

  24. [deleted]

    It sucks that Gen 1 and Gen 2 are in an island by themselves but making all 251 available in later Gen more than makes up for it

  25. [deleted]

    It’s all fun and games until the Pokémon Bank servers shut down.

  26. Cool. I noticed before that while Pokemon Ranch was only compatiable with Diamond/Pearl, the Japanese version of Ranch gotten updated to work with Platinum too but not with PAL/NTSC-U versions sadly.

  27. BloodyTurnip

    Feel sad for all those mons trapped in the game boy generation.

  28. bunsupreme

    Wish I woulda known some of these awhile ago, good work sir

  29. LeanIntoIt

    If I read that right, I need Pokemon Home PREMIUM to get my pokemon from Bank to Shield?

  30. [deleted]

    You’ve created a monster. *A pocket monster*

  31. [deleted]

    Cause nobody wants to see Marshall no more they want shady, I’m chopped liver.

  32. ChozoRidley

    So, in theory, is it possible that someone could have caught a Pokemon all the way back in Ruby/Sapphire and then have kept it in their team all the way up to Sword/Shield?
