== B/W? ==

Does anyone know if this will be exclusive to B2/W2 or will it include original B/W? [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 01:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
:BW is mentioned as well, so it will be included. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 02:14, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

== Stardom ==

Does anyone know if pokemon that achieve 'cult star' status at Pokestar Studios will keep their entrance sparkle in X/Y? [[User:Legionaireb|Legionaireb]] ([[User talk:Legionaireb|talk]]) 18:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
:I am not sure that is related to the Poké Transporter. [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 15:06, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
::I've heard reports that the Pokéstar Studios and N's Pokémon entry animations no longer occur. I don't have a Japanese game though, so I haven't tested this myself. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 16:47, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Sorry if this is old news, but I can confirm that the Pokéstar Studios entry animation is gone.  Tested this by sending out my Wynaut against a wild Flabébé.  In Black 2, my Wynaut had the animation.  In Y, nothing.  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

== Names of transferred Pokémon ==

Something that the article doesn't seem to note yet: Transporter fixes the all-uppercase names of unnicknamed Pokémon from Gen III and IV to proper case. Not sure where to put that without it looking like a random statement, though, so I'll let someone else decide.

== Pokédex trivia ==

after using Poké Transporter, I discovered that the symbol that marks a completed Pokédex entry, instead of being the Kalos symbol, will be a the National Pokédex symbol (a Pokéball) if, and only if, using Poké Transporter got you the Pokémon species in question, or evolving a Pokémon that was transferred gets you the entry. This symbol can be upgraded to the Kalos symbol by catching or evolving a native-to-Kalos Pokémon of the species, as well as hatching one. I tested this with Aron. I initially got the entry by transfering, then I hatched one that was laid by a Lairon I had. --[[User:KinCryos|KinCryos]] ([[User talk:KinCryos|talk]]) 22:50, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
:Makes sense, and I confirm. The logo for the National Dex is the red/white Poké Ball, so entries exclusive to it would be marked as such...wait, I just went over to [[Pokédex]], someone stated that the National Dex icon is the combo of the three regional Dex icons...

== Pokédex Completion ==

Does anyone happen to know how the Pokédex in XY is marked with regard to imports from Bank? Specifically, I know the somewhere in the line, the Dex gets marked as Caught, but I don't know if the game or if Bank does it, and if Bank does, what conditions need to be met (transferred to XY by save, was in an XY box during the "transaction" (could be removed later in the same transaction), was in full Bank system, etc). Hopefully (for Ninty and our game carts) it is one of the two latter possibilities, because then one could do mass Dex filling in a single transaction, reducing both server load and flash writes (to either SD, cart, or NAND(?)).

:I'm not sure what you're referring to.

::So it is clarified for other people, I'm wondering when the game's Pokédex is updated to indicate Pokémon as having been caught. There are only two/three possibilities for when the actual Dex is updated on the save file (save/exit from Bank, save of XY, or load of XY), but if it is Bank which updates the dex, there are a number of possibilities as to how (see old post for list). The thing is, a couple of the possibilities could result in the game's Dex having Pokémon marked as having been caught, without keeping them on the savefile for a period of time. I think I might link this discussion from the Bank talkpage as well, as it seems to be more related to Bank, or even with Bank and 2 GenVI games.

== Arceus ==
In my own experience, which is backed up by the experiences of those on external forums, the TRU Arceus cannot be transferred. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 15:22, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
:I'd actually like to see a list started on the Transporter page for 'legit' Pokémon that can't be transferred. I can already confirm that any Shaymin or Darkrai caught from Japanese Diamond/Pearl (via the surf-into-the-void bug) won't go through since they aren't tagged with "fateful encounter". I've read that Azure Flute Arceus won't go either. I know all those are technically 'cheated' but it'd be good to know. One non-cheated that I'm yet to confirm myself but that I've heard is blocked is the Gen3 Mystery Mew that they handed out at TRU back in 2006. I'm gonna test the Journey Across America Celebi and all of the event ticket Pokémon from Gen3 soon for myself, since I have access to them. They're all still in my Gen3 games, though, so I need to set aside some time to do a lot of transferring. There's plenty of others I'd like to get confirmed, too, like pretty much all event handouts (since TRU Arceus won't transfer, which is a BIG disappointment).[[User:Shugo|Shugo]] ([[User talk:Shugo|talk]]) 08:34, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
::I just checked both the Arceus I have in my X version. One of them was actually from my Diamond version which I got through use of the Azure Flute. My other was obtained in White through the [[List_of_Pokémon_Global_Link_promotions/Pokémon#Arceus|PGL promotion]]. I honestly haven't had any issues transferring Pokémon at all. My Azure Flute Arceus is the only "hacked" Pokémon that I've ever transferred. The rest are banished to my Diamond version, never to be removed. <sup>[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup>[[User:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">Jo the Marten</span>]]<sup>[[Flygon (Pokémon)|<span style="color:#C00;">★</span>]]</sup> [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|<span style="color:#C00;">ಠ_ಠ</span>]][[Cilan (anime)|<span style="color:#90C870;">♥</span>]] 08:47, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
:::I've heard Hayley's Phione won't go through either. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Uh oh, I wonder if that means Hayley's Mew won't work either. Ranch is the only legit in-game way to get an English Mew as of now, and if that's blocked then there's only a couple distributed Mews left for us poor English users.[[User:Shugo|Shugo]] ([[User talk:Shugo|talk]]) 10:17, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Personally, if a handful of event PkMn are being blocked, I believe the issue should be brought up with Ninty/GF. If someone can assemble a list of known problems, Nintendo or GameFreak (I don't know who configures etc. the servers, or if it is a client-side block) can work to fix the problem. I might do a event transfer at some point (using the GenV GTS exploit to send the ones I lost to my W2, since my Black's EEPROM died on me along with most of my prized collection), I'll note other events which don't go through.

::::::I've been told Hayley's Mew is fine. ALso, should have mentioned this earlier, but it has been widely reported that Shiny Jirachi is prohibited. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 05:20, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
(resetting indent) I can't get any variation of shaymin or arceus to transfer. What I've noticed is that some people's banks seem to differ on what they think is hacked. For example, one of my friends was able to transfer 6IV Dittos to Gen 6, and I had the exact same .pkm file for that ditto, and it didn't pass. Sometimes a .pkm on one game will register as hacked, and if you trade it to another bank passes it. I do agree with TruePikachu though, GF needs to fix this.----[[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Big</span>]][[User talk:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:#870735">Bad</span>]][[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Batter</span>]] 03:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:I have a Shaymin transferred, though, let me check which one...[[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 03:13, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
::TRU Shaymin, and realised that Bank might be databasing PIDs so that clones aren't let on. No idea if there is a whitelist for events, someone should confirm. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 03:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:::And to think that they're letting Shiny Zekroms and Reshirams through. It would seem odd for them to database PIDs, because there's a fairly narrow spectrum of PIDs for event pokemon if I remember correctly, especially those with invariable natures.----[[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Big</span>]][[User talk:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:#870735">Bad</span>]][[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Batter</span>]] 03:22, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
::::Which is why there would be a whitelist for events. But now I'm not so sure they are doing so, someone should probably contact Nintendo. I guess I'll see if I'm able to. I don't expect them to share the details about the algorithm, but they might check it to make sure it is actually working as intended. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 03:25, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:::::You're probably trying to send non-fateful encounter Shaymin through, which are always illegitimate and known to be prohibited. I highly doubt the game prevents duplicate PIDs going through, and that there is any difference between people's Pokémon Transporter checks. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:57, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
::::::Believe it or not, they actually were fateful-encounter ones. I tried a TRU and an Oblivia Shaymin. Neither worked. It' really weird how some legit pokemon can't pass but some really badly done hacks can pass. As I said before though, some banks pass different things for some strange reason. It really ticks me off. While we're at it though, considering this is a pretty prominent issue, should we add some details to the page about it?----[[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Big</span>]][[User talk:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:#870735">Bad</span>]][[User:BigBadBatter|<span style="color:red">Batter</span>]] 21:22, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:::::::You can in the meantime, but I'm waiting for a response from TPCi or someone. I not only mentioned that some events weren't going through, but I also mentioned a case where a hacked PkMn ''did'' go through (I am not elaborating on this here). I also sent a link to this page, but don't expect them to reply here. However, if they do discover that there was indeed a problem, the edits could become incorrect and be removed later.

(resetting indent again) I can confirm that the TRU Mystery Mew (mentioned near the beginning of this comment thread) is indeed blocked.  Possibly because its SID is 0.  [[User:Rycr|Rycr]] ([[User talk:Rycr|talk]]) 09:06, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
