When selecting the "Migrate" option, the player is presented with a stripped-down view of the Generation III game's PC on the Nintendo DS's touch screen. On the transfer screen, the player can only view the Pokémon's minisprite, species, [[nickname]], [[level]], [[marking]]s, and [[held item]]. Pokémon that know a move that is an [[HM]] in the origin game (called "hidden moves" by the game) cannot be migrated. After selecting exactly 6 Pokémon, the game will confirm with the player that they want to send those 6 Pokémon.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it is only possible to migrate 6 Pokémon to that game from a specific Generation III save file once per 24 hour period. (Like all time-based events, if the Nintendo DS clock is changed or the game is played on a different system, the timer is reset, meaning that the player must wait 24 hours from when the game is opened after changing the clock.) However, should you have a second Generation III game available, you are able to trick the system by performing the following: <blockquote>After successfully catching all 6 Pokémon you transferred (triggering the 24 hour timer) save the game and turn the console off. While the console is off insert the extra Generation III game you do not want to transfer from into the GBA Slot. Turn the console on and move the day forward by 1 in the System Settings. After restarting the console, start your Generation IV game of choice, still with the extra Generation III in the GBA Slot. In the main menu, select the "Migrate from <game>" option and go through the touch screen messages as normal until it asks "Would you like to change your game's time setting to match the Nintendo DS?" Hit 'YES' and it will make the adjustment. It will then say "Pokémon cannot be made to migrate for 24 hours." This will only effect the extra Generation III game. Turn the console off and insert the Generation III game you're transferring from into the GBA Slot. Turn the console on and start your Generation IV game. Complete the Migration process as normal, and if done correctly you should not get the timer message. This can be repeated indefinitely.  </blockquote>In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this restriction was removed, allowing the player to perform migrations regardless of how recently that had previously done so.

Pokémon can only be migrated if the Generation III game and Generation IV game are the same language, unless the Generation IV game is Korean. For Korean Generation IV games, because the Generation III games were not released in Korean, it is instead possible to migrate from Japanese and English language Generation III games (but not French, German, Italian, or Spanish games). Since it is possible to trade between languages in Generation III, it is possible to migrate Pokémon with a different language of origin to the Generation IV game via a Generation III game of the same language; for example, it is possible to trade a Pokémon originally met in a Japanese game to a Spanish Generation III game then migrate it to a Spanish Generation IV game.
