Hello everybody,
How's it going? I hope you're having a lovely day. Today I'd like to reach out to some Pokemon connoisseurs, if there are any still lingering around in these forums.
I have not played Pokemon since 1998 (yes, I am very old). I played the original Red & Blue close to their US launch release on the Gameboy Pocket, got completely hooked, leveled up my Pokemon team to an elite status, completed the story, link cable battled, traded, saw all there was to see, did all there was to do, caught 'em all, and then I retired. Never looked back. Until now.
I am about to start a game of Pokemon Black. I have chosen this one due to its critical acclaim, unique features and setting, and apparently more "adult" storyline. However, all the Pokemon are new, none of the previous Gen Pokemon can be found in the wild, and as I understand it, all the early in-game ones you encounter are lame. So, I'd like to import a couple of the Pokemon of my vintage over into the game, so I can have them near or around the beginning, to make it a little more familiar and enjoyable.
I have researched this topic a little, and apparently the only way to really do this is to trade the Pokemon over from either the GBA games, or some of the other DS ones. I have no way to do this legitimately.
Is there any way to possibly "spoof" a trade by less-than-legitimate means? I am aware of the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transfer applications, but it seems they're only utilized for transferring Pokemon from older games to the 3DS iterations. I do have a "Virtual Console" Pokemon Red CIA (IPS colorized hack) installed on my 3DS, but something tells me the Pokemon from my less-than-legal version would quickly be sniffed out if I were to try using Nintendo's official tools.
Here is the equipment at my disposal:
- CFW New 3DS XL
- Legitimate Pokemon Black cartridge
- Old 3DS XL
- DSi XL
- DS Lite
Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
