Hello, sorry if this has been discussed before. Can I LEGALLY transfer my pokemon from Sun/Moon to Scarlet/Violet using PKHEX or is home the only option?

It won't be consider legal, and you can't transfer from sun/moon to scarlet/violet now.
Pokémon Home is coming in the spring I know so as far as "legal" i know that having Zacian at this moment isn't possible so having Zacian is technically "illegal" My question pertains to the legality of using PKHEX to transfer. Magicarp is available on VS so lets say I transferred a shiny magicarp from my Sun/Moon game to Violet/Scarlet using PKHEX to export, would that be flagged as illegal? Would you be able to elaborate on how and why it doesn't work?

It would be considerally illegal, you won't be able to take it online.

Is there a bit more info you can provide as to why? I'm just trying to understand what makes it illegal.

They have a checklist for what you can bring to online match, Im not sure if you can inject pk7 files into gen 9 save, possibly not possible, just wait for home support.

Yeah I have some theories/opinions myself. I was hoping for some clarification on how this all works just for my own curiosity. I will wait and see if anyone has more knowledge on this topic. Thank you for the input also.

I think I understand your question but I don't know enough about it to answer thoroughly and it looks like neither does Hayato. Someone here will probably be able to explain how this works.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.

    No real point since movies are 30fps

    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.

    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
