Can ez flash reform(or ez flash omega) use Pokemon pal park?

I will not use pokesave or emulators.
Found a potential answer on reddit

>>I was also wondering would I be able to migrate pokemon to Pearl with an emulated game cartridge

No cartridge allows Pokemon migration (via Pal Park) to a legitimate, real DS Pokemon game cartridge.

The only flashcart that allows you to migrate Pokemon is the "EZ Flash IV", and only to patched DS game ROMs. However, I don't recommend it. The EZ Flash IV also doesn't have a Real Time Clock, so anything that relies on time passing (time of day events, berries getting ripe, Mirage Island, etc) won't work.

If you can live without Pokemon migration, then get an Everdrive GBA. Everything works on the Everdrive GBA, with the exception of transferring data with a DS card (using Pal Park). Trading Pokemon with a GBA link cable will work, etc.

https://www.reddit.com/r/flashcarts/comments/4ulo27/gba_cart_that_plays_any_game/d5qv0zn/

So basically it probably won't work with a legit cart, but may work with a patched rom

Does the content of that link mean you can use pal park with ez lash 4?
(I do not English well)
Yes it does - but only with a patched ds rom running on a flashcart.

So from gba flashcart to ds flashcart.

This is the version of pokepatch I could find:

https://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/rom-hacks/download-pokepatch-4-2-f27240.html

and it patches the platinum rom so it reads the gba save from a slot 2 flashcard as it would be an official game.

But still, There's high chance the ez flash reform differs a bit from the older ez cards (slot 2). ie: if the sram is mapped then it would be easier to copy data from arm9,but if the sram chip has slighty different cmds (taken care of the loader per se), then it wouldn't work. Just a theory anyway.

Well that hasn't been explicitly tested here, but potentially if it works like its predecessor. Can't give a guarantee.
OK. thank you

What the others said.

" I will not use pokesave or emulators. "

I can understand paranoia about pokesav (though I would still query it) a bit but why not emulators?

Well I tried this, using the EZ Flash III/IV option for my EZ Flash OMEGA but it comes with the error that it doesn't contain a save file or it is corrupted. Can someone help?

I know the EZFlash lets you store games in either PSRAM or in NOR RAM, and that some things will definitely work in NOR RAM but not in PSRAM. But I would have expected that since there are bazillions of people playing Pokemon out there, someone would have tested this with Pokemon migration by now.

Maybe I should try Pokemon Platimun? I'm trying to use Pokemon Diamond.
