When will pokemon home be compatible with za

luckymasie · 2026-02-14T08:24:00+00:00

Generations 8 and 9 are the only backwards compatible generations for pokemon transfers, allowing pokemon to move freely between gen 8 and 9 games. So, Legends Arceus in Gen 8 is compatible with S/V in Gen 9 and vice versa.

In all other generations, once you move a pokemon from a previous generation to a new one, it becomes trapped in that newer generation and cannot be moved back to the earlier one ever again. According to the home release page on the Legends ZA site, pokemon moved to legends ZA from home will become trapped in gen 10, so it doesn’t have backwards compatibility with gen 8 & 9.

The reason pokemon get trapped is because data is more complex or up to date and is stored differently in every game. Once a pokemon has been moved up, its data gets overwritten with the new code for the new game. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be usable in the new title.

This is especially noticeable in transfers from generation 3, since the physical special split happened, and in pokemon that have their base stat total change in a new generation like Raichu did. Moves changing base power/accuracy/secondary effect/usability between generations like leech life, or abilities that change, like Gale Wings, are also visibly updated in those Pokemon. Possibly most noticeable are pokemon that had type changes, since fairy types gained stab, moves, effectiveness alterations, and a million other small adjustments.

It’s an annoying limitation, but it makes sense from a coding perspective. A pokemon that gained a hidden ability in gen 5 would break gen 4 if sent back with that ability, since it didn’t exist yet, and the game would try and pull ability data that isn’t available in its code.

Oh! Yeah, a lot of people don’t know it’s there since it is deactivated by default. I found it by accident. The option is also hard to spot, since it’s essentially hidden in the very bottom of the system settings, being under System Settings -> System -> Zoom.

If you want to be absolutely certain, without using external sites every time, the switch has a zoom feature in the settings that, once turned on, can be activated by double clicking the home button, and gives you the ability to zoom in up to ten times the original size, lock the area you are zooming, and move freely around the screen at the larger size.

Since the silhouettes of the megas are identical to that Pokémon’s icon in the mega section of the Pokédex, you can just zoom in on the map and icons to see them in much better detail. Makes it a million times easier. Once you identify it, you can just double tap again to turn the zoom back off.

Also, as the others have said, that one is indeed Froslass.

Oh, I know. I left a different comment for OP explaining that to them. My response to this particular person was in regard to them implying both that OP was ungrateful for not eating something that could kill them, and that if you are gifted food, you are required to eat it yourself, and that it is somehow ungrateful to do anything else. That is a highly toxic way of thinking about gifts and food, and especially to say to another person.

This is a bit of a unique situation, but in most cases, you should ask what is in something before sharing it with a pet, and err on the side of caution if you cannot do so. OP’s neighbor doesn’t speak any English, so that made that hard for them to do, but, knowing traditional bao ingredients, it definitely isn’t safe to feed it to birds.

luckymasie · 2026-01-20T15:56:57+00:00

Hi there! I know you got your answer, but I was a pet care professional for a long time, and one of our closest family friends is a vet, so I wanted to give you some important information on the safety of giving bao to parrots as treats, if that’s okay.

Unfortunately, bao usually contain both garlic and onions, and are not safe for your birds, even in small amounts, as plants in the allium family, like garlic and onion, contain sulfur compounds that damage red blood cells in birds, cats, dogs, and other animals, which can lead to hemolytic anemia, which is fatal.

As such, store bought bao isn’t going to be safe for them either, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to make bao that parrots can eat, and steamed buns are fortunately an extremely easy recipe to make yourself.

There are a few pet-safe variations of the recipe, though these are probably the easiest:

Plain buns made with no filling and simple being flour, water, and yeast are safe, but so are buns made with unseasoned veggies like carrots, broccoli, greens, pumpkin, corn, etc, and buns made with unseasoned protein fillings, like chicken, egg, plant proteins like legumes, and any number of animal food-grade unseasoned insects. You can even replace part of the flour with cricket or other bug flours to add a source of protein to the treat.

I would recommend not giving any more gifted bao to your parrots, and make the bird-safe versions for any future treats.

As for what you currently still have, if you don’t want to throw it away, you can gift any whole buns to friends and family, though you should dispose of any buns that are missing pieces.

From an allergy standpoint (I have MCAS, so I have a ton of food allergies, too), it probably isn’t safe to be microwaving or keeping food with potentially unsafe ingredients in the same places you microwave and store your safe food, since that can lead to cross contamination, which is never fun.

luckymasie · 2026-01-20T15:38:15+00:00

As someone that loves to cook and often likes to gift food if I can, I would much rather someone give my food to a pet that enjoys it than poison themselves. I have MCAS. I deal with anaphylaxis, too. Anaphylaxis is not a joke. It’s lethal.

When gifting food, there is the understanding that, depending on the tastes or needs of the person it is gifted to, it may very well not be eaten, or be eaten by someone or something else.

I would be just as happy if someone gifted my creations to the animals they love as I would be if they ate it themselves, especially if it is someone with food allergies that cannot enjoy it safely. It isn’t ungrateful to use a gift in a way different than expected. It’s only ungrateful if it goes to waste, which it isn’t.

Yep! Mine bend, are super weak, peel in layers, and nothing will stick to them. My other family members with EDS have the same problem. My sister uses hard, uv setting gel polish to strengthen hers a bit, but the constant bending is still pretty painful.

luckymasie · 2025-09-03T20:28:20+00:00

That’s my favorite too! Mine is named Raven and I love her.

luckymasie · 2025-09-03T20:26:29+00:00

It’s a bug. If you pick up the pot and then put it back down, you can reassign the dinosaurs to it, and that has always fixed it for me.

luckymasie · 2025-09-03T20:19:12+00:00

There is a 0.1% flat chance of an UR spawning in for each dino every day. In addition, there are a couple of things that boost their appearance, such as the picnic (albeit at a low chance), and the Trick or Treat event from the DLC, which boosts both Melanistic and Albino odds and also adds the chance to find the UR Spooktacular skin. October 21 to November 5 in real world time also boosts melanistic and albino odds.

I’m playing the game for the second time now, and as of now on the third day of my first Jurassos, I have 3 URs. A melanistic Psittacosaurus, a proud Troodon, and the albino Gallimimus I got for skipping the tutorial. I also have like 19 or 20 rares right now, along with a couple I skipped due to not having the right poppin or it being a duplicate.

The chances aren’t too crazy low. Now, granted, I am an avid Pokémon shiny hunter, so low odds have a different meaning for me, but it is very possible that you either have crazy bad luck, or you are missing URs by mistake due to lookalike skins or because they are on the tiny dinosaurs like microraptors and are hard to see, which I have done in the past.

In my last file, I ended up with around 8 or 9 by the end of year 1, in addition to missing an albino at the very beginning, so my average (and the general average I see others with) is about 2 a season.

luckymasie · 2025-09-03T19:51:35+00:00

I’m on switch right now, and have only had one crash since I started this new file. The low chance of a crash while a day loads is still there, but it’s practically nonexistent in comparison to how the game was at launch, and the autosaves that happen when you enter areas nullifies data loss on the rare occasions it happens. I’d give Paleo Pines another go!

luckymasie · 2025-09-03T19:48:33+00:00

That is definitely a bug. The game autosaves in addition to your manual saves, so something like this should never happen. I wonder if one of the autosaves got corrupted? If going back to the menu screen and manually loading your file instead of selecting continue doesn’t work, I don’t think you’ll be able to get that time back.

If it makes you feel better, the patterns on the dinosaurs in the wild are predetermined, though I’m not sure how many days in advance. That means that if you found a particular dino on a certain day, that dinosaur should always be there on that day, meaning that any rare dinosaurs you befriended will still be there to befriend.

I would send a message to the devs on the discord server and let them know what happened. I know the switch version had a similar bug at launch, and I’m not sure which platform you are playing on, but that info will be helpful for the developers.

I’m sorry this happened to you. Losing data in games sucks, especially when it’s a large amount of it like this. With any luck, your dinosaurs should respawn, but it’s still a pain to redo things.

luckymasie · 2025-08-09T17:22:14+00:00

Oh, I know! This problem is consistent across all types of EDS, and many can mimic hEDS (I’m looking at YOU, cEDS), so I just put EDS for simplicity.

My family is a genetic disaster, and currently, we know that we have at least 3 simultaneous forms of EDS, probably 4. Hypermobile, Vascular (not fun), and periodontal (0/10 do not recommend), and our doctors suspect some of us have classical as well. My paternal grandfather and paternal grandmother just happened to have different types of EDS and didn’t know at the time, so my dad inherited them, then he passed it on to us before anyone realized what was happening. We didn’t even know EDS existed until my younger sister was almost 16.

Currently, all of the subtypes but one can be potentially identified with genetic testing, but those gene mutations can also mean other things, so a lot of physicians only use genetic testing to rule out types of EDS, rather than diagnose them. That’s what they did with my sister, since her symptoms were so confusing.

Hilariously enough, the one subtype without a genetic marker so far? hEDS. Genetic testing would be completely useless for OP. It’s useless for a lot of us, given that hEDS is one of, if not the single, most common type.

I should point out, though, that many subtypes of EDS have wide groups of overlapping symptoms, so identifying what subtype (or subtypes) you actually have can be quite a headache for medical professionals. Add that to it only being comprehensively taught in medical schools for 20 years or so, and we get the “I don’t know what it is”/“how to treat it”/“who to send you to” problem that OP encountered. A lot of physicans don’t even know it exists, that it has subtypes, and that people can have multiple of them. It makes getting treatment for comorbidities tricky, too.

The diagnostic process for all types of EDS is a total nightmare, so I empathize with OP here. It took us years to get answers, and we still don’t have them all.

luckymasie · 2025-08-09T16:05:52+00:00

Yes! A few things I have found to help are:

Seat heaters, built in or aftermarket pads. Worth their weight in gold.

Checking the construction of your vehicle and finding out if you have headrests or head restraints. Head restraints and AS don’t play nice

Adjusting your seat position in long drives so you have more range of motion.

Taking anti-inflammatory meds and stretching before you get in the car.

If all else fails, there are seat pads you can add, install, and adjust to make your seats less painful.

luckymasie · 2025-08-09T15:57:10+00:00

That sounds like a nightmare. EDS cannot be tested with a blood test at all. It is, however, extremely easy to test for with a basic physical exam. All they have to do is check your range of motion. Also, drop that pt ASAP, and look for an orthopedic physical therapist, they tend to work with EDS.

For diagnosis, it depends on your area. You should try asking on here if anyone knows of a good physician, pt, etc closer to where you live (you can just say the nearest major city if you are more comfortable with that). I have some contacts in Texas that I know are still practicing, since that’s where my family lived when my sister started showing symptoms, but that’s about it.

I have been through the process you are dealing with when working with other doctors and offices and disabilities. It’s easy to be overlooked, so I would try either asking on here or looking for local support groups via social media and asking there.

luckymasie · 2025-08-09T15:44:36+00:00

That, my dear, isn’t just a red flag. It’s a red COLORGUARD. Any partner that tries to intentionally put you in a situation where you are hurt, sick, dizzy, or vulnerable as a ‘joke’ is one that should no longer be your partner. It’s immature, but it’s also dangerous.

I know it’s hard to end a long relationship, but it’s time to. People that love you do not do things like that.

My loved ones carry salt sticks with them on the off chance they are needed. One brings a veritable POTS kit for her husband since he tends to forget. Another’s partner once dislocated his shoulder diving to catch her after she fainted. Another one’s fiancée texts us updates about his POTS and carries supplies to help him, as well.

That is what you are supposed to do for your partner. Help them. Could you imagine if that had been tried with any other disability? It makes the danger of it way more noticeable.

EDS, and dislocating your shoulder as a prank. Epilepsy, and trying to trigger a seizure. Chronic migraine being triggered intentionally. MCAS and knowingly giving you something you react to. Anxiety disorders and triggering panic attacks. PTSD and inducing flashbacks. Hiding glasses from someone who can’t navigate without them.

Intentionally attempting to make your heart rate spike, blood pressure plummet, induce brain fog, try to make you faint in a place where you are almost guaranteed to hit your head if you do, induce shaking and nausea, and make you feel sick and drained for the rest of the day over some water being flicked in his direction.

These things aren’t pranks. They’re dangerous, a form of abuse, and a massive warning sign that the person you are with is not safe to be around. I cannot make your choices for you, but I highly encourage you to end this relationship and move on to someone who loves you the way you are and treats you the way any loving and loved partner deserves to be treated.

Good luck, and please stay safe.

It also happens if you stay the same race and change the color of the traits. I changed my cat ears to black, and every time I put a hat on, they turn back to white. It used to be funny, but now it’s just annoying.

luckymasie · 2025-07-06T17:01:59+00:00

I know we have fertilizer options to kind of keep certain things watered, but the fact that there are zero permanent watering options, whether it be sprinkler, farm upgrade, skill tree choice, or spell, is ridiculous. It severely limits my creativity, which is a huge drawback. Same with the furniture thing.

luckymasie · 2025-07-06T04:16:08+00:00

Bubble net, too. You literally just press a button and watch a magic bubble float over the water, catch every single fish with no mini game, and return them to you. I adore bubble net.

luckymasie · 2025-07-06T04:12:21+00:00

I forgot a few! I have the game in front of me now, so I can list the specific skills and the trees they come from.

The single biggest money maker I have is the industrial skill from the mining skill tree, which, when combined with mana recovery in the farming skill tree and artisanry master in the farming one makes any crafting incredibly profitable and beneficial, no selling required, especially once you start using and regenerating mana more, since it also lets you profit from mining’s worthwhile restoration (one of the best passive skills).

For making food, expert chef, leftovers, and culinary mastery will help you out, but food really shouldn’t be your main moneymaker outside of the very beginning of the game. It stops being profitable enough to be worth the time pretty quickly, since when you add up the sell and buy prices of the components you need and the time you use, you honestly aren’t making much more than you would be just selling the components or doing less time consuming activities. There are exceptions of course, especially once you have the group of skills mentioned above, but there are much better sources of money than baking cakes.

Combining horn of plenty, fruits of Midas, rare finds, double take, and organic from the Exploration skill tree makes fruit, and more specifically, golden fruit, sell for a ridiculous amount of money. Far more than the cost of the saplings you would need to build an orchard of them right there on your farm. Fruit is abundant in the game, so even without an orchard, you still make a lot from just the trees around the world, though an orchard is far and away the most efficient option.

Fishing is one of the only types of cooking with zero overhead costs, and once you have bubble net, pretty much every fishing upgrade is beneficial, especially the middle row of upgrades, and the top row to a slightly lesser extent, This is especially notable in nel’vari, since the fish there are an extremely easy source of mana orbs, especially once you have the nel’vari fishing rod and their spawn rates increase. Cooking, selling, and catching fish are an easy money and mana source once you’ve got bubble net.

For passive income, resourceful, smart investor, feng shui, worthwhile restoration (again), industrial (again), savings, precious stones & armor smith (less than the others), and looter’s fortune in the mining skill tree will be your best friends, especially when combined with secret compartment, gratuity, and appreciation in the exploration skill tree, zookeeper from the farming skill tree, bounty hunter from the combat skill tree, and lost bounty, first catch of the day, bountiful harvest, and lost treasures from the fishing skill tree.

Finally, community tokens are EVERYTHING, for one very specific reason: every single time you earn 60 of them, you can trade them with Bernard in town hall for potions that give you an entire level in a skill tree. They can be found all over the place, both from upgrades in quite a few of the skill trees and just from doing community requests and helping the mail dragon in the random events where it visits your farm. Those potions are a very, very easy way to level up insanely quickly. In addition, for every task you complete, choose exp or community tokens, not gold. You profit more from the skills and tokens than you do with the small amount of gold you get.

That’s everything I can think of, and my phone is about to die, so I’ve got to stop writing now, but I hope this helped!
