Poké Transporter: Difference between revisions

→‎Location data: As far as I'm aware, Poké Transporter does read the Pokémon's location data for Legality Checks. I reworded the paragraph to make that more clear.

Line 41: Line 41:
When a Pokémon is transferred, its location becomes simply the name of the region it was caught rather than the exact location it was caught. A Pokémon caught in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold or SoulSilver}} will have its location listed as Johto, regardless of whether it was caught in [[Kanto]], the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], or the [[Pokéwalker]]. In addition, the level obtained at is changed to the level arrived at, and the date obtained becomes the date it was transported to [[Pokémon Bank]].

Like [[Pal Park]] and [[Poké Transfer]], Poké Transporter only reads the data of the game the Pokémon was originally generated in, rather than its in-game met location. This sets any Pokémon created in FireRed or LeafGreen to [[Kanto]]; HeartGold or SoulSilver to [[Johto]]; Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald to [[Hoenn]]; Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to [[Sinnoh]]; Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 to [[Unova]], and Colosseum or XD to "[[Orre|distant land]]". (Pokémon obtained from [[Wonder Card]]s are treated as being created in the game they were received in.) A Pokémon whose [[Pokémon Egg|Egg]] was obtained in a game based in one region and traded to another region before it was hatched will display the name of the region it was generated in, rather than the one it was hatched in; this means that a Pokémon generated in Platinum but hatched in SoulSilver would have the OT and ID of the SoulSilver player but list that it was met in Sinnoh.
Poké Transporter only reads the location data for a Pokémon for the Legality Checker, provided the Pokémon was caught in a [[Generation V]] game. Otherwise, sets the Pokémon's met location to the primary region from game the Pokémon was created in, similar to [[Pal Park]] or [[Poké Transfer]]. This sets any Pokémon created in FireRed or LeafGreen to [[Kanto]]; HeartGold or SoulSilver to [[Johto]]; Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald to [[Hoenn]]; Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to [[Sinnoh]]; Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 to [[Unova]], and Colosseum or XD to "[[Orre|distant land]]".
