How to Transfer Pokemon from ROM Files to Pokemon (Ultra) Sun & Moon

How to Transfer Pokemon from ROM Files to Pokemon (Ultra) Sun & Moon by DuoForce

Please be sure that no Pokemon are glitched or it will cause issues.
Hello everyone, I wanted to make this Tutorial before Gold and Silver releases on the 3DS Virtual Console. Before I begin with my Tutorial, I will list the tools you need for the Tutorial. This can be done with any Pokemon game from Gen 1 - 5​

  • PKHeX
  • JKSV
  • A 3DS with CFW
  • A way for your PC to read SD cards

First, you want to open up your Rom save (should be the ROM name with a .sav at the end) file with PKHeX, then you want to make a temporary folder and drag and drop every Pokemon there. Once that is done you're gonna want to go over to your 3DS and extract your Sun/Moon save file with PKHeX​

Use JKSV to extract the save file to your SD Card, then insert your SD Card into your computer and locate the save (It will be in the JKSV folder in the root of your SD Card). Then drag your (Ultra) Sun or Moon Save File into PKHeX, you're then going to want to drag and drop the folder you made with all the Pokemon from your Gen 1 - 3 ROM file into PKHeX, then all the Pokemon will be in your game. You then just need to export the save to your SD Card and import the save with JKSV.​

And BOOM! Your old Pokemon are now in your game (:​

I understand you want to help, but I have to ask, did this REALLY need an explanation?

Why is Ultra in the title when the game(s) haven't been released, yet? WTF?

So rating the number of posts determines whether we are trolls now? I can't decided which is worst ignorance or accused trolls that help

You should let people know they need the newest PK Hex for pk2 integration...and they'll probably need another PK Hex update for US/UM.

I know transfers get the GB VC icon, but have you tried using these transfers online? I was in Battle Spot with my Gen 2 team and enjoyed a handful of errors. Other people are saying it (Battle Spot) is buggy with detection.

Gen 2 transfers aren't possible yet since Pokemon Bank won't add support until Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon release

You should update OP to tell people that. It's likely that if you're using PKHeX, you aren't using Pokebank and wouldn't know. And I guess let people know about updating PKHeX.

You could also add an update about Gen 3 saves being a special case--the saves have to be in a different kb (128kb I think?)

You might be able to add "For more help, check projectpokemon.org." at the bottom of your post to clarify certain issues, but do an in-depth cover on things that might be a little confusing to a Joe Blough.

Hopefully people will scroll through the pages and see this
It's probable, but OP might want to update this thread when PKHeX gets updated; no one knows how US/UM works yet. There's also the problem of pokebank not being updated, so gen 2 can't be used online, but can be transferred.

I think this thread would be more useful if OP adds links, tips, and precautions.

USUM will work the same as Sun/Moon

But what if they have a better system to check for edits? I don't know if you thought I meant something else, but I'm prepared for the worst.

You still should add a bit for precautions, tips, and links.
It'd be very hard to check if you hacked your save, SM already has that in place and boy it does nothing as long as you don't edit trainer info

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
