RIP Spiky Eared Pichu. U could not leave HGSS or even the save, but u were the og pokemon stuck in a game in my mind.

I love that the NPCs in Crystal are there. They clearly wanted to make sure that you experienced the GS Ball event in a very particular way - approaching the shrine from the south, as it lingers on the top of your screen. I'm a fan tbh

My most valuable and unique Pokémon: a legit Gen 3 English Celebi. I got it from the 10th Anniversary Event. My mom actually drove me to another city to attend an official Pokémon convention/event at a mall. People got to vote for which Pokémon would be given out, and Celebi won the top spot so all attendees got it. It's one of my most important Pokémon. I remember being on Pokémon forums and no one else would have one, made me feel so special~

Stuck between leaving my "special memory Pokemon" in their original games where the memories were formed vs. sending them into Home so they can stick around "forever"...lol

I've been passing over my Crobat since Leafgreen about.. 10 years ago or so, its shiny, was my first random shiny encounter and I've made it part of my team since then!

My first pokemon game was Red. I had a Charizard that I grinded to 100, and was able to bring with me to each new game... but when I put it on my switch, I was robbed and lost all that pokemon data... no way to restore the save or anything, and Nintendo refused to give me the IP address from where whoever stole it to me or the police. RiP Raze, my very first pokemon bond

With Pokemon Home, Pokemon have separate movesets for every Switch game (barring Let's Go and SwSh sharing one). Movesets from Bank and Let's Go are also applied to the SwSh moveset. This means any exclusive moves from older generations are only usable in SwSh. Your Kanto Birds and Lugia will still know them in their SwSh moveset, but since they can't learn those moves in BDSP or SV, they will not be able to relearn them in those games or any other future games unless they are given the moves again.

That ending was amazing. I didn't grow up with a 3ds. But I have started playing the pre-gen 7 games before bank shuts down, just so I don't regret not playing them. And I've loved being able to bond with all these amazing Pokémon in the game they were introduced in. I've got boxes in Pokémon home reserved for these Pokémon when I finish my playthroughs and I can't wait to have them all completed

I find that My Pokemon Ranch's Phione is quite special actually, for two things: -Cherish Ball -Hayley's ID which is 01000 I played MPR on the japanese version to use my japanese Platinum and got all the trades to transfer them to home, the mew is quite special too, Hayley's name in japanese is Yukari, as a random fact

Weird to think the last and only time Deoxys and Mew could be shiny hunted in a game was 20 years/6 gens ago. I'm about to work on catching up on some wormhole legend hunts in Ultra Sun but I may have to look into these two as well EDIT: Oh right, there is technically a way to get a shiny mew via VC RBY iirc but someone else might need to fact check that

I'm still mad my Spiky-eared Pichu will remain forever trapped in Soul Silver since they made it un-transferable due to being from the past

*The ribbon challenge is still doable for every Pokémon, just gotta get every ribbon from their native generation and up*

I hope the homebrew scene will be able to do something about it, so we'd at least be able to maintain the connectivity between gen 1-7. I've grown weary of the modern generations and the amount of bs thrown at us.

Don't forget about the Gen 4 and 5 event Pokemon that you can get by making a hotspot and tampering with your DS settings. Between Gen 4 and 5, this includes shiny Milotic, Eevee, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina. Plus a few more, I think, but I can't recall which ones.

The fact that the developers didn’t consider special Pokémon with special moves relearning them in the latest games/storage service shows they gave up on the idea of bringing those special friends with you through every game.

tfw your first Pokémon was a Pikachu in Yellow that couldn't save 😭 Also, I never knew Shellder and Magnemite could learn Teleport in RBY.

As someone that has since grown disillusioned with Pokemon since Sw/Sh, I find myself not caring too much about not being able to transfer up all my mons. Part of me feels like there’s something wrong with me, like I’m a freak for thinking that. I just wanna like Pokémon again, but the last most I’ve been excited for this series in in the past 7 years was Mystery Dungeon DX and Ash leaving the anime. Oh, and Legends. Loved Arceus and very excited for Z-A.

For me, I really want to get some cool Pokewalker pokémon, like the special Pikachu from Yellow Forest.

Great video, the title reminds me of the jet song "Last Chance" on which the lyrics repeat, "this is your last chance honey" 😊

Gen 5 actually had more unique mons than those just from Pokémon dream radar. Through the memory link feature you could link either an original black or white to black 2 or white 2 and be able to run into N’s Pokémon in the wild which have their own in battle animation and unique OT. Also there are other dream radar mons that have unique abilities that may still only be able to be found in dream radar. Also Pokémon channel jirachi exists too. Great video!

1:00 not quite. The ribbon challenge specifys that you only need to get all the currnetly obtainable ribbons for a mon to be a ribbon master. All the bank shutdown would do is change said requirements.

cool video man, I really enjoyed it.

Some personal unique pokemon i plan to use: A shadow meowth i caught in xd who i plan to make into a ribbon master, i named her ceaszar Bolt, a pikachu whom ive transfered up from my pokemon yellow and plan to use on the storyline team of every title i can transfer him to, im also trying to make him mostly anime accerate to ashs pikachu .venusaur that i transfered up from yellow, i plan to get him every stat, ribbon etc that in pokemon lore and in pokemon cannon can be used to prove venusaur to be the most well liked pokemon and tbe pokemon with the highest social status Cosplay pikachu, i know a method of changing her form into a regular pikachu and thus qllowing transfer, i want to use her as a mini game master I have a shedinja caught in a great ball The magikarp from the salesman in fire red, i use him as a pet qnd dont battle him. Im debating on making a running gag where he enters every hall of fame and earns every champion and battle facility ribbon dispite not gaining a singal attack or level since he was bought Lt surge trades you a german pikachu in the johto remakes, i plan to evolve his Pikachu into an alolan raichu The eon duo of collosium traval the Pokemon universe to save abused pokemon and take on battle facilities The union cave lapras enters all bonding activities I plan to chain breed every team member from every title who can chain breed to create a Pokemon who happens to be the decendent of all my past teams Once bolt the pikachu reaches scarlet and violet i plan to make a girlfriend for him, a clefairy with max contest stats and a moveset all about being cute Poketopia electavire

When you don't choose a game in home and just select home, you can change where the Pokemon comes from, so you just choose an older option and every move should be there

Although I knew about all of these pokemon already (and am working on collecting them) I love your point about the pokemon WE have personal experiences with. ❤️

I wish I could’ve saved my first Pokémon, Samson the Charizard (who turned out to be a girl). But I lost her in Silver after my battery died. Plus, the whole “not being able to transfer” thing.

You are, literally, the only other person who mentioned the Dream Radar legends being obtainable at level 5! Thank you for this!! Im keeping all of my stuff on my gen 7 games and retiring. The rest of pokemon goes to my sister. One journey ends and all that.

Bruuuh the ranger games were so much fun to me, love seeing that stuff again

To my knowledge you can only shinyhunt poipol and type null in the alolan games

I actually still have my tornadus/landorus/thundurus from Dream Radar and they're level 10! I had thought I got them before getting any badges, but I guess I got them after the first badge lol. They're something I'm super proud of because not many people know about dream radar nowadays!

I plan to up my game to building a live dex in Home, is something I have been wanting to do for a while, specially getting some of my old event pokemons

I think I forgot to save when I first played a Pokémon game. Not that the Squirtle would've gotten to Home anyway! To think, so many mythical Pokémon will become more difficult to access. Just when they were getting easier to access too. Ah well, when there's a will, there's a way!

Still have my very first pokemon from 2004, a charizard that got forgotton about for over a decade that was sitting in my box on fire red until last week at level 93. Also my very first shiny pokemon, a diglett which i was mind boggled about when i discovered because i was a child who didnt know shinies even existed. Just got them into home and gotta say im glad that i still have those all these years later

I'm currently working on Ribbon Mastering a Magmar from XD, as well as the Mt Battle Chikorita with Frenzy Plant, and a Colosseum bonus disc Jirachi. Hoping I can finish before the eventual Bank shutdown. I'm expecting it'll probably be up for another year or so

I just went through Pokémon Heart Gold and captured every single pokemon in the bug catching contest with the Sport Balls

I'm going to shiny hunt up the wazoo when I get the time, magicarp swap method in SM/USUM and GSC's egg farming are still I believe the easiest shiny hunting methods, along with the fishing chains but I think I caught all the shinies I want via that, all fish. Also making teams for specific characters, like I test ran Red in Yellow version, is his GSC/HGSS (HGSS, since in GSC he has Espeon instead of Lapras... and that didn't exist in RBGY lol being a gen 2 Pokemon) team, doing that with all protagonists/rivals, are their teams truly capable of beating the game. In middle of Kris, but Red 100% stomps the elite 4 and champion, specifically that Lapras, it and Charizard are all I really needed.

the end of the video is straight facts, love my shiny event dog trio but i have a different love for my first feraligatr ever that i got with my elementary school best friend

Part 2 would be great!

I still have my colosseum ho-oh from a million years ago. Man that thing took FOREVER to get 😂.

Tornadus was my main Flying type in Black 2 thanks to Dream Radar, and he gave me an odd love for low-level Legendaries as well as getting to actually use Legendaries in game. This also reminds me I need to get rest of my mons out of Bank at some point. I have modded the Switch and 3DS to transfer, so I just need to clear Bank. I even have my Faraway Island Mew who's joined me every game backed up in my PC cloud storage for safe keeping.

the voice actor who play mew in Pokemon need to come to rhode island comic con this year.

0:57 - Small tid bit you missed, the Pokemon Colosseum/XD:GoD Ribbons can also be equipped like any other Ribbon in the Gen 8 or later games. Giving those Pokemon Exclusive Titles when sent into battle, for Purified Shadow Pokemon it's "Go --- The Triumphant!" and for Mount Battle Conquerers it's "Go --- The 100x Victorious!" both are imo some of the coolest titles they've made to this day even outside of the fact you can only get them in the farthest back to transfer games possible as while only possible to have on Gen 3 and below Pokemon (even less for the Shadow Pokemon of course). Edit 11:20 - My poor Level 100 Infernape is still sealed within My Pokemon Ranch after having reset the OT Save File several times now, with Pokemon only being allowes to leave Ranch via it's original owner... I did look it up once and iirc there is a way to reveal the trainer ID and Name within the game so with Homebrew on the Ranch side or PkHex on the DS side it should be possible to fake the credentials to allow the game to let me take it out and trade up to the newer games.

Celebi event 8n crystal was probably mandatory at the end to make sure it worked properly. Or just make sure you experience the event properly.

The only Umbreon and Espeon ive ever had are the ones from colosseum, traded over all the way to Ultra Moon

Hayleys Phione is unique in that it comes in a Cherish ball Latest in masterball is possible in Go

Jirachi showed up a lot in the battle colosseum mode on enemy teams in Pokemon Colosseum

Actively playing Crystal for this Celebi. Need to get back to that before bank goes

Im so glad i prepared my 3ds for the big shut down. The problem is so little time to hunt 😢 It should be noted that greninja loses battle bond if you transfer to home

I have a Japanese copy of Pokemon box which gave special eggs for having certain numbers of Pokemon added to it

It may not be as unique as some of the others, but let’s not forget about the guaranteed Shiny Haxorous in Gen5 that you can catch after completing the pokedex. I forget if it comes from B/W 1 or 2, but it’s still really cool.

I myself with the uniqueness of my first starter have always found great regret in transferring upwards. He has never seen Alola onwards and one day when the transfers fully shut down, I will certainly have a decision to make.

Just fyi in either sm or usum you can still use the ds camera to scan a qr code to get magearna after beating the pokemon league. its still active after the servers went down so its annother mythical that you need for the pokemon home pokeball color magearna!

You can actually get (shiny) patrat in a masterball in Pokémon Go & transfer it to the main games! :)

Within the last month or so I managed to catch every shadow Pokémon from both games on the game cube and transfer them through bank to home since they have that special ribbon I also played again for any other Pokémon that evolve past generation three also got myself a shadow ralts in a lux ball, On top of catching every single Pokémon in the gen one and two, virtual console for a complete living dex with the game boy Mark, as well as extras again for newer evo’s like ursaluna and H Typhlosion

@1:01 Not necessarily. The spirit of the challenge is to get all possible ribbons that the chosen Pokemon can obtain. Each Pokemon can be a ribbon master, it’s just their origin point that determines which ribbons qualify them as one. :)

I still have my very first groudon that i have caried from my first omega ruby game to now scarlet Tho my first starter will always remain with his game

Definitely going after that shiny celebi in crystal

"It's suprisingly easy to mod your 3DS"

There are a couple more Pokémon from the Pokémon Box eggs that are transferable

11:15 And imagine having lost your 3ds with all the cartridges, meaning you lost basically every Pokèmon you had since you were a child... yeah, imagine...

If I never had a ds or pokemon bank, could I still download it? or does it need to already be owned?

I don’t really have any that I need but last year I did get a legit gen 3 feebas and evolved it in the same game it took me about 2 hrs to find its spot but once I did it was one lol.

Ngl, the last unique Pokemon made me tear up 🥹 I have my first starter pokemon, Turtwig (now Torterra), tucked safely into pokemon home. Pearl was my first complete play through of a Pokémon game as a kid. So many memories. 🥹

Actually the phione from ranch is kinda special bc it’s the only way you can obtain one in a cherish ball !

Bringing in my firered charizard starter and og saphire swampert. Also have a shiny pichu from a gamestop heartgold event. Im gonna evolve it into an alolan raichu in my ultra moon then off to home

*A list of all shinies you should get before Bank closes down, in pokédex order:* - Shiny M20 Cap Pikachu in USUM - Shiny Mew in a Japanese copy of Emerald - Shiny Celebi in Virtual Console Crystal - Shiny Jirachi in RSE from PAL Pokémon Channel or USA Pokémon Colosseum bonus disc - 4x Shiny Deoxys in non-Japanese copy of Emerald - Shiny Manaphy from an egg from any of the Ranger games - Shiny Darkrai from Platinum with the DNS exploit if you missed the event in BDSP - 2x Shiny Shaymin from Platinum with the DNS exploit if you missed the event in BDSP - Shiny Genesect from Japanese B2 or W2 with the DNS exploit - Shiny Diancie from Japanese or Korean X or Y using power saves - 2x Shiny Type: Null from any of the Gen VII games - 2x Shiny Poipole from USUM

I remember walking past the shrine again and again pressing A on it hoping that my game would trigger a glitch so I could finally catch the Celebi and then I finally got it on the VGC on my 3DS and it was shiny too!!!! 😭😭😭 I cherish my pink little onion fairy 🧚‍♀️

Unless they remake them (fat chance), BW2 has a couple of unique mons - N’s pokemon as well as a couple of shinies for completing the dex and doing that one battle facility in Black City/White Forest

Patrat is catchable in X and Y. So you can get it in Master Balls in those games too.

I did not in fact know that the dream radar could give you level 5 Pokemon.

I would totally love to have my favorite unique Pokemon in ScarVi right now, but I can't. I trusted a friend with my DS and then found out he traded my favorite Kingdra from Heart Gold to himself. I didnt find out until later and then he kept denying it. It was from the event path for the Pokewalker where it had muddy water.

Glitch pokemon FC in GSC virtual console, I got that one. I made it learn absorb with a glitch too. It became a Treecko. I am hoping to get FF (Torchic) if possible.

Don’t forget shiny poipole in gen 7! Specifically the ultra games. Still the only way to shiny hunt it currently

Did they announce that they are shutting down pokemon Bank? If so, then everyone got scammed when they announced the eshop going down and people were panick buying games and bank on their 3ds 😅

Pokemon Ranch, Hayley's Phione is actually pretty special because it's the ONLY way for a Phione to be in a Cherish Ball instead of a regular pokeball.

Typhlosion was my first level 100 and will always remain my favorite pokemon(preferably the old sprite where his flames was always out) what about you guys?

Do you already have an end date for Pokemon Bank?

HOME stores the movesets for each Pokémon separately for each set of games. SwSh retains the moves the Pokémon had in Bank, but every other game has its own separate profile. If you move them to SwSh, they should still have the moves they had in Bank (i.e. the special moves from Colosseum/XD). The HOME relearner only lets you teach it moves that it can learn in the game that you're moving it to. You can only teach level-up moves or moves it knows in other games, but the Pokémon _also_ has to be able to learn the move in the game it's being moved to in order to be able to teach it. So since Lugia cannot learn Psycho Boost in SV, you will never be able to have Lugia with Psycho Boost in SV. Moving to SV doesn't affect the SwSh profile though. By default, HOME displays the profile for the game the Pokémon last travelled to, so if you're bothered by a Pokémon not showing their special moves in HOME anymore, just send it to SwSh and back again, and the default HOME profile should return to the same moves it had in Bank.

I just hope it will be possible to use bank between all 3DS games after they shut it down. I don't think I'll be moving them to the Switch but having an option to still use it for the 3DS games just sounds great to me.

I'm gonna be trying to catch all the pokemons I don't have for my home living dex and if I decide I'm crazy enough I'll be trying to do a shiny living dex minus the shiny locked mons

The Japanese Steelix from the demo would require a trade to a NA 3ds, unless your nintendo account is a JP account, as you cant login to an NA account on a JP 3ds.

For those of u out there going for celebi. Keep in mind tha regardless of the ball u use to catch it, it will be change to a regular pokeball apon transfering to pokebank. So, dont waste your time cloning love balls like i did. 😂

How long till it goes down gotta fire up the rds

OMG MY 1ST POKEMON WAS A BLAZIKEN FROM HOENN, TOO!!!

this video is greate!!!

Would you mind making more videos like these

I only just bought a 2nd hand DS and pokemon DS games I've never played as I'm a gen 1 and 2 player originally, so I'm old, but now I can't download Pokemon Bank, I have a switch too with the 2 new games, it will be all good if they add all the old games to the switch

Dang I just got into Pokémon again and never played the original games sad I wont be able to get these in home

I should get my battle bond Greninja. Even if they nerfed the ability, I’m not sure if there’s any other way to get one. Besides, it’s kinda neat to have one from a 3DS game.

I love transferring pokemon, to this day I still have first ever pokemon form soulsilver, totodile, now feraligator Before bank shuts down I want go back through BW2, and do the unova link with BW1 and get all of Ns pokemon and transfer them up to home

The fact that they chose to make Bank free after the eShop shutdown and Bank accessible after the 3DS Online shutdown shows that they care about retaining access to Bank. They are likely going to give us at least a six months notice before the shutdown. I'm hoping for at least a year myself. Also, if you are taking the remaining days seriously (where it shows a question mark before two numbers), we at least have 1000 days before shutdown. What is likely happening is that number likely resets and they will keep Bank active for as long as possible. As for the video, I like how you mentioned some unique, low level Pokemon and Pokemon with unique moves. Unfortunately, if they enter Gen 9, their moveset is overwritten, but thankfully that's only when they are in a Gen 9 game. If they return to Home, I believe they should get their original moveset, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, this shows that Game Freak/TPC isn't really interested in maintaining those unique moves inside the newer games, though they have to for Home.

I'm doing a shiny living dex but after bank closes I will loose a bunch of easier ways to get some mons, or the way to get them at all (I'm 69% of the way in) Also I wanted to do a ribbon quest with a shiny Heracross from Collosseum but that will take ages so... I'd also love that the day that bank closes the community manages to get some transfer shenanigans

Lol though they eliminated the pokemon home in 3ds too , im dumb i stop tranfer just because i hear i cant

Still only way to get shiny Manaphy too, that rare chance in Ranger transfering to DPP. It is possibly the rarest shiny because of that, in another comment I mentioned Go has had some events for Mew and Jirachi, or Japan has run events granted those are exclusive to Japan, but there has been no way to get a legitimate shiny Manaphy since Ranger x DPP.

I stopped playing Nintendo handhelds after platinum. Sad to have missed everything thereafter, and I'll never get to in the same way.

it's likely pokemon bank will stay open as long as u have it.

I have a feeling once Pokémon Legends ZA and Generation 10 games are out, that’s when they will pull the plug on Pokemon bank. All Pokemon will be available on the Switch as of ZA. If the leaks about the Switch’s successor are to be believed, it will be backwards compatible and we will be using the same Nintendo ID system.

Something I probably should mention is that you can in fact catch a patrat in a master ball in go

I wish I had transferred my Empoleon from Diamond. The data got corrupted, but I did save my Shiny Giratina, which is the First OG gamestop giveaway for Diamond and Pearl

Careful while transferring event Arceus it loses it's event moves too
