Mother of God, the bridge between lost generations has finally been built. Let's put it to use quickly before Pokeon Bank gets shut down
I still refuse to understand why they don't keep it running
Wait it’s getting shut down?
It is still running
It is still running, but Nintendo said themselves that it's not going to stick around forever. By then though, I assume they'll finally release a pokemon classic collection for switch/switch 2 that is intergrated with pokemon home. It's inevitable, just wondering why the hell its taking so long lol
Eh. I'm sure there'll be homebrew for it by then anywho. Heck, PKSM already exists on 3DS as it is.
In 2023 my buddies and I got briefly obsessed with Pokemon, and wanted to try to rescue Pokemon from GEN 1 and 2 before the batteries died, and bring them all the way to current gen, but found out the link breaks between 2 and 3. I started to research workarounds, which me and my buddies dubbed "the Pokemon project". I lacked the technical expertise necessary, but came across the other two projects you mentioned. When those yielded dead ends for me, I finally jailbroke a 3DS, got copies of the GEN 1 games for it, dumped the cartridge save files, and injected it into the digital copies of the game, and called it a day. Coming across this, however, I feel like that project is officially complete. Thank you
This is honestly one of the best Pokémon-related fan projects in EVER, and this video is really respectful to top on that, gratz on the project!!!
@@Saternoir. Thank you so much for the kind words!!
This is an awesome video! Glad to have been a small part of the project, and you really helped me out on my latest E-Cards. The final result looks SO GOOD.
Thanks Blisy! You were a *huge* help on this project, and it wouldn't have turned out nearly as nice without you! :D
hi blisy you’re really cool and have cool rng manipulation stuff
Technology is incredible, you can totally trade between gens 1&2 to 3.
The future is now thanks to science
Now we need a form of trading pokemon from Gen 3 to Gen 4
(Idk if that's actually a thing that gamefreak put in the game using the GBA slot of the DS, but it wouldn't work with the DSi)
@@Sonictheoofhog4 you can, but only with the original ds and ds lite, you need to put the gen3 cartridge in the GBA slot and the gen4 game in the ds slot
Lorenzo is a madlad. His multiboot is amazing even if you dont want to transfer pokemon. Extremely underrated.
You did it. This is the holy grail for OG players. We don't have to say goodbye to our old friends anymore. I'm genuinely tearing up about it.
Very exciting that this project is a success. Working RCE in every gen 1-2 game is itself a major deal that you only briefly touched on, which tells me just how much similar work and care you must have put into every other part of the project that you covered in this video. Well done!
@@MrCheeze Thank you so much MrCheeze, that really means a lot (especially coming from someone as prominent and knowledgeable as you)! And as well- thank you for responding to my emails early on in this project, I couldn’t have done it without your help 😄
Every time. Every time I click on some cool project about old Pokemon games, imablisy makes an appearance. Lmao. Excellent stuff!
ngl, i got chills when u broke down all u accomplished at the end of the vid. this is dope 🔥
You guys must have brains the size of Australia to have made this work. Really, truly well done. This is keeping the heart of Pokemon alive, and is especially appreciated with the recent murderification of Bank
So you transferred Pokémon from the buggy mess that is Gen I, to the buggy mess that's Gen IX... Seriously though, this is an incredible job!
Shoutout to blissey helping his knowledge is pretty good
I dont understand half the terms you bring up, but you seem proud of your work! The pokemon community thanks you for your time and energy!
Great job on the release! This project looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out sometime soon as well. Everyone who worked on it should be proud of the end result!
This unseen comment deserves more than 6 likes.
This is history in the making. I can't believe it is happening. Gen 2 -> Gen 3 is real
You and the people you worked with are mad lads, and I am grateful for it! While I'll probably never be able to make use of this myself, I am glad that this program exists for all of the Pokemon fans out there who still have physical Gen 1/2 and Gen 3 cartridges.
This is very cool to see you talk about this! Very awesome project and I’m happy to have seen your process and think you have something absolutely wonderful on your hands! 😊
This is very impressive. Fantastic work!!
I'm keeping a close eye on this project. Can't wait to see whats next
You did an absolutely incredible job on this man! One thing I'm curious about though, how are the pokemons' PIDs generated after the transfer? Do a pokemon's generation 1/2 IVs have any influence over their generation 3+ IVs, or are their stats fully rerolled after the transfer? Regardless, I hope to see more projects of yours going into the future!
Due to gen 3's pseudo-randomization, it isn't super feasible to maintain IVs based on DVs. At the moment at least, they are randomly rolled (although I'd like to see if I can figure out how to change that in the future!)
@thegearsofprogress1964 Do you think it's be possible to reverse engineer how game freak transfer from VC to bank and use that method? Or do they reroll as well?
@@dylanbeatty3262 They reroll as well, but also have 3 of the IVs maxed out (5 for Mew/Celebi). From my research, that wouldn’t really be possible while maintaining gen 3 true legality, due to the pseudo randomization method Gen 3/4 use. But I really want to see if I can reverse engineer it to make it possible- we’ll just have to see!
8 years old me would be so hyped to transfer his pokémon to Gen 3, 29 years old me is ready to go back to RBY and GSC to make it happen. You broke down the one wall that GF left us all these years ago, that's amazing.
Absolutely incredible. You're more than 20 years too late to repair my childhood broken heart leaving behind my friends on a dead-end cart, but this is an amazing project none the less.
The detail provided in this video is enough to make a head spin, but does a splendid job in painting the picture of how crazy cool the concept is.
you guys have all done an amazing job with this program, im hoping to be able to try it out myself some day!! been followong along for maybe a month or two watching other people do it and its such a neat thing, i love being able to see the gap finally bridged in an easy and fun way
this is super dope!! goppier's vids blew my mind when they first released, lorenzooone's tool is fantastic, and now i'm eager to try out this new spin on it. great work both on the program, and on cataloging the history of cross-gen transfers.
as a computer science student and as a pokemon fan, you are a fucking god. Thank you for your work man !
Stellar work! I'll definitely have to check this out.
Dude, this is insane. Never thought to see the day a bridge between Gen 1/2 and 3. This is amazing. great work.
This is really well made and very inspiring. Kinda makes me wanna get into the technical parts of pokemon myself.
I'm glad this got suggested to me by the site randomly! This is amazing, fantastic work!
Incredible work!!! I love these fan projects. Excited to see where this project goes!
This is the coolest thing to have ever happened. It feels unreal. I can't wait to try it out.
I'm amazed you were able to do this. I thought it was impossible on account of the 5V / 3.3V difference between GB and GBA communication modes - how is that circumvented?
Interestingly... it isn't haha- fortunately the ranges on both systems allow for either voltage to be used. Goppier and/or Lorenzoone did a decent amount of research on that iirc, so we have them to thank for that discovery!!
I honestly started watching this video on accident, and holy cow this was put together beautifully! this really is a beautiful project and your hard work is inspiring
This is AMAZING! I never thought you could transfer a pokemon from the start with the moves they cant learn anymore
Just amazing! Thank you.
Wow man this is truly awesome dude! Congrats🎉
This is awesome!! Congratulations
This was really good 😮 I can't wait to see more you do
Shoutouts to LJ BIRDMAN!!! 🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤
@@ishmagik they’re TRULY one of the greatest 🫡🫡🫡
So true
This is awesome, can't wait to try it out
Congrats on completing this amazing project! It looks very very good. I can't wait to give this a go myself in the near future.
Quick question though. I've seen a few videos showcasing the beta version, and it seemed a little buggy with few things after transfer such as nicknames and OT names. Have this been fixed in the new release? :)
@@joernsaermark Thank you so much for the kind words!! The Nicknames and OT Names *should* be fixed in this most recent version (I haven’t had any issues as of yet and haven’t heard anyone else having issues either) but I would recommend making save backups *just* in case 😅
This looks really awesome, congratulations on completing the program.
FANTASTIC WORK!! This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can can remember!! I can’t believe how far we’ve come with these games!
That is so awesome! Thank you so much for making this!
This is so incredibly impressive and exciting! Can't wait to see what you do next! Congratulations on the release!!
this is soo crazy man! Congratulation for the project!
WOW this gave me chills! Truly a milestone in Pokémon history, congratulations!
btw what's the music at 8:11 ? sounds like a reprise of BW transfer lab
This looks really cool! I don't have the hardware or games to do it, but I'd love to see it in action
Amazing work! It would have been nice if you showed us the full transfer process at the end of the video but I see you have a separate video for that anyway
Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to other language releases!
This video needs way more views. Absolutely awesome work.
This is mindblowing. Good job dude!
Someone did it. Someone really did it, after so many years 🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much, THANKS!
Now this is truly amazing
Congratulations! This is incredible news!
This is awesome! Always love hearing about the things people do with ACE whether it be on GCRI or on youtube
Also the timo mention was kind of a jumpscare
Amazing job, I wonder what how many possibilities would there be with this if Pokemon Bank wasn't shut down.
This is really cool. But I feel like you only explained some of your coding process, and completely glossed over what it actually looks like to execute Poke Transporter GB. I finished the video and I still don't know if what you created was a modified game cart, or something that needs a gameboy in the middle to run, or a custom cable, or what.
Thank you for asking this! I feel like I'm going crazy! Everyone is super excited, but even though a file is provided there's no step by step how to actually do the transfer itself. I assume it requires a flash cart or something. XD I can't just insert that file into my GBA so easily. It isn't a DS.
I definitely realized that I was lacking info about how to actually *use* the program soon after uploading the video- apologies for the lack of communication there!
A full tutorial video about how to load the program and use it is coming soon- I just want to finish up a few things before it goes live so that it can be a full tutorial :)
@@thegearsofprogress1964 That'a a relief. :D As Pokemon Bank dooms day marches ever closer I would love to save my original teams from the confines of their old Brainboy backups and bring them into Home.
This guy is the goat
The coding was a bit beyond me but this is so amazing! Awesome job figuring out all this complicated stuff!
This is huge, you're huge, congrats!!
This is crazy awesome!!! If you ever need custom music for this i'd love to give a hand!!
If it makes you happy then I'm happy for you.
This was poetic my guy.
This is like q community effort that was begging for a bridge and you finally built and laid it.
I'm even inspired to dig up my old games to check if i still have any data haha.
An in-game event that feels like a proper trade event, nicely done!
I'm working on a small project of my own. I've been rather unsatisfied with a lot of "Bring Pokemon Green to English" projects, because either they try to go for a true Japanese version, basically just being Blue but with Green's graphics, or are incomplete conversions for one reason or another. What I'm attempting to do is bring over Green as if it was a true U.S. release as Nintendo of America would have done it, complimenting our Red and Blue. So, it'll have Japanese Blue's catches, trades, casino prizes and so on, but Japanese Green's graphics, and it's pokedex descriptions by way of the official translation done in Pokemon FireRed. A lot of the project is more or less already done in a github I found, but it's that specific mix of traits I'm looking for. Since I intend it to feel very "official", that'll also include changing the "drunken" reference, but I won't go and say the guy was tired or something, I'll let it be a line that can be interpreted two ways.
Anyway, I'm interested in making sure this version ends up compatible with your project.
I mean, it'd certainly be nice, and Crystal Clear is already compatible with all of this, by default! ^^
This, people working to bring Gen 3 ONLINE… I’d love for someone to bring Contests online too, given ORAS’s weren’t, and BDSP’s were depressing. Still, it speaks to the passion of some people.
Prof. Fennel would be proud
amazing work!
This reads like a resume😂 in all seriousness though seeing Scyther and Koffing walk around in the switch Gen was super satisfying
This is really cool. I was an avid follower of Goppier's effort but in the end it's been ages since his last update.
I hope you will do a followup video on how the Pokemon data structure is copied. I want to know how you handle things introduced in gen 3 and especially things that would be kind of illegal by Bank standards.
I also echo the sentiment of many other commenters in the fact that it would have been cool to use characters that were already available by gen 3 (if I remember correctly the Pokemon Bank girl was already used in Pokemon Box so she could have been it), but this is more of a nitpick than anything.
It's finally happening. The gaps are closing in.
Fun fact: This will actually connect to SEVEN different English-language GB games! Seeing as Shockslayer developed Crystal Clear to be 100% compatible with all OG games in the series, you can absolutely transfer all your CC 'mons to SV...or any number of better games, than that one! :p
(Yeah, I know a lot of people already do this via the 3DS already, thanks to the in-game Bank-ready features....but now, you can do it IRL! ^^)
Very cool, big respect
Well, now I just need a flash cart and I could transfer my pokemon from my yellow/blue to my sapphire/leafgreen and then send copies to omega ruby and then to pokemon home, this is epic dude!
This is so cool
This could leave even Batman impressed.
this is fucking sweet, dude
This is incredible!
I’ll probably never use it but mad props to you
ahhh i was hoping to see a full transfer in action from start to finish
i'm only mad about this because i had a similar idea, but as a replacement for the official services.
besides that, this is unbelievably awesome
incredible!!!
Man forget this what frame style did everyone rock😤
This is REALLY cool, the custom graphics really sell it! I hope to give this a try sometime C:
Hey great video! I actually found many videos showing off your rom already before stumbling on this video. I haave to say, I have been playing through every generation of pokemon the last couple months with the intention of transferring up all my mons to home. However, I was super disappointed to find out that I would not be able to transfer my gens 1-2 mons to 3 and so on because I wanted to use my shiny Eevee from yellow as my ribbon master. So I settled on just sending the gens 1-2 pokemon to bank, then to home. Even though I found some other ways to send a gen 1/2 pokemon to gen 3, I just thought it would be too risky with legal checks later on, along with other reasons. However, your hard work seems to be something I am genuinely considering, so first and foremost, THANK YOU!!
I just had a couple questions:
1) Obviously pokemon from gens 1/2 would have the origin mark if transfered from the VC games to home, and I understand that these marks are removed with this rom to make them compatible with gen 3. Is the reason for this because the rom changes a gen 1 pokemon like Eevee for instance originate from Fire Red/ Leaf Green as far as Emerald is concerned? So I I were to transfer an Eevee from Crystal that I got from Yellow into Emerald, it would still have its original ID and OT, just modified to not have the origin mark, and added characteristics like natures, PID and so on? In other words, how does a gen 1 or 2 pokemon change in order to be considered 'legal' by Home standards?
2) Do shiny pokemon retain their shininess with this rom as well?
3) Are these pokemon that are transferred from gens 1 and 2 completely safe to use online eventually in scarlet and violet? Or would it still be a little sketchy by game freak standards?
Thank you again and sorry for the complicated questions, i already accepted the fact that at one point I would not be able to transfer my gen 1/2 mons up to 3 and beyond but now that this is an option I wanted to ask these questions to be extra confident.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! To answer your questions-
1. At the current moment, Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow will have a met location of FireRed, while Pokemon from Gold/Silver/Crystal will have a met location of HeartGold. However, over the past week someone brought to my attention an issue regarding ribbons, so the option to have all Pokemon be from FireRed will be added in an update in the near future. The met location is only based on the game the Pokemon is being transferred from, not their source game, so an Eevee from Yellow -> Crystal -> Emerald would have a met location of HeartGold/Johto.
2. Yes! Pokemon will retain their shininess, and Gen 1 Pokemon that have the correct DVs to be shiny will become shiny upon transfer
3. By the time Pokemon reach Scarlet and Violet, they will be indistinguishable from a legit Pokemon from FireRed/HeartGold. There *technically* is a data value that is set to an illegal value in Gen 4, but that value isn't used for anything and was removed in Gen 7, so it's not a big deal. A full chart of legality can be found on the GitHub page for the project!!github.com/GearsProgress/Poke_Transporter_GB
@@thegearsofprogress1964 Thank you so much for the quick and informative reply! You definitely gave me more confidence with all this! Considering everything you said, I think what I might do is just trade my shiny Eevee back to Yellow and then trade it to Emerald using your rom so that its met location would be FireRed instead of HeartGold which would alleviate any problems with ribbons you mentioned? Also what was the issue someone brought up regarding ribbons? I was just wondering since this is the main reason I am doing all this hahaha XD. Just one last question as well, pokemon in the summary screen state that they were met in a fateful encounter, why is it that this must be used as a way to make them legal? I thought this specific text was used for pokemon you get through events only and was also a way for Game Freak to deduce if you had a legit mew or deoxys from gen 3. EDIT: I just saw another video of someone transfering up a pokemon from red all the way to Scarlet/Violet using this, and the summary screen says 'it has travelled across space and time to join from the Kanto region', I guess that is also what makes the pokemon 'indistinguishable' from a legit pokemon? Because as far as Game Freak is concerned at THAT point, the mon originated from Fire Red right?
So sorry for all the questions! But thank you so much for already being so helpful!
THIS IS SO COOL. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS SOMEDAY
Hey, everyone! Wake up! It's Christmas already ❤
Great work and collaboration! I have been working on similar projects via the link cable and not a flash cart, but your method allows for mass Pokemon transfer. Very impressive. I would love to work together or bounce ideas off you and your team if you are available.
I'd love to! Let me know what the best way to contact you would be, and I'd love to chat :)
Now someone should transfer Pokémon from Gen 1 all the way to Gen 9 with real hardware.
Technology is incredible!
this is a dream come true :,) 💚
A majority of my Pokémon from every game I've played are in a perpetual state of stasis, living on my hard drives somewhere in hopes of one day making it to a game I'd get the motivation to bring everyone over.
Maybe this is it
Thank you for fulfilling my childhood dream
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This means you can now drop “events” into the old games. Little bits of DLC like Mew or Kanto part 2 etc
Do you need music? 👀
I believe you do 🤭
💖💖
fixing lazy gamefreaks screwup
thanks bro
they publicly apologized for the gen 3 transfer fiasco when the eshop titles dropped ❤
This looks amazing.
Well Done for this.
Have you thought about making a Pokemon Bank GB.
Somewhere we can store these pokemon that can communicate between gens?
Unsure how possible it would be but could be an interesting concept none the less.
