[[Generation III]] is the only generation where there is no method to receive Pokémon from past generation games. All other games have a method for receiving Pokémon from the past generation (and therefore, by a chain of transfers, from generations before that as well). With the [[Virtual Console]] releases of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and an update to [[Poké Transporter]] in [[Generation VII]], it became possible for the first time since Generation II to have Pokémon from all generations in a single game.

Up through {{g|Sword and Shield}}, [[move]]s are retained when transferring, and most species have moves that are exclusive to transferring from a previous generation where they could learn them or a previous generation's event. Starting in Generation VIII, Pokémon have a separate [[move]] list for each game, so this is no longer the case. In Sword and Shield specifically, Pokémon transferred from Generations {{gen|I}}-{{gen|VII}} keep their old moves, but they will not be eligible for official competitions unless all of their transferred moves are deleted (see [[Battle-ready symbol]] for details).
