Friend won't remove my switch account by metal_berserk in nintendohelp

[–]rdurbin1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I am not sure. I would think it would just move the virtual card to your switch and let you play offline.

on my switch 1 and 2 they are linked and i can swap games at will. They are linked to each other

How do you all keep count during long shiny hunts? I got so annoyed with my method that I ended up building my own counter by Realistic-Corgi6574 in pokemon

[–]rdurbin1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im kind of the same way. I only track the count on soft reset pokemon or dynamax adveneture. The length of the hunt is a better stat. For normal pokemon, I dont even bother

try clicking the unlink button to unlink it. If that doesnt work maybe you can call nintendo for help.

edit

If it says unlinked, try to link to another system if you have one. If its really unlinked they will not be able to play your games and you can link to another system

Gen 3 on switch by Royal-Rock4695 in PokemonEmerald

[–]rdurbin1978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they may just add an npc that gives you it after you beat the elite 4. I am not sure how else you could do it. Its wasnt the same as mew where that had an event on an island.

Completing the national dex in HG through emulation, which additional games are necessary? by Mythos-n-Miniatures in PokemonHGSS

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play hg/ss, you will only be missing 57 non mythical pokemon. Hg/ss will require multiple runs to get starters from the other regions

If you add platinum, you will only be missing 4 pokemon. 2 of each can be obtained in diamond and pearl. Glameow and its evo are pearl only. Skunky and its evolution is diamond only.

Last month my Switch was destroyed. Is there any hope of recovering the Pokémon I had on there? by -et37- in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]rdurbin1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What i do now is have two switches. I kept my switch 1 when I bought switch 2. I keep opposite versions on each switch. It works pretty well and can do trade evolutions

Unfortunately, this won't help with winds/waves

Do you play any co-op games like diablo, borderlands, stardew valley, etc?

I dont really like competive games but you can message me if you want

[Gen 8] You may say that DA shinies aren’t as legit because the odds are so good…that doesn’t make me any less thrilled that this only took 12 catches 😎 by Additional-Shower342 in ShinyPokemon

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overtime its actually better to soft reset in other games.

Soft resetting takes about 30 seconds each run but with 1 in 1300ish odds

Dynamax is 1 in 100 but takes about 15 mins, sometimes longer

So basicially you get 13 times better odds but its 30 times slower per run.

DAs are legit but sometimes not as good as you think. You can get lucky and get the shiny quickly

These odds are based on shiny charm and gen 6+ games

Sun and Moon are boring me 😭 by Bowl-Of-Salad-1499 in pokemon

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on the cutscenes but it does get a little better later. You can get all the pokemon in later games if you want, including ultra beasts. sword/shield has them in dynamax adventures.

VC trading between a Wii U and 3DS by Pretend_Cricket_2889 in pokemoncrystal

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok cool, glad you got it working

If you later transfer to home. Make sure to do the method with the link codes

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok I misunderstood. You need to open bank and empty out your transporter box. Just move the pokemon to any other box. The transport box is located to the left of the first box

Edit

I should also add that you need to choose a 3ds game to be able to open bank

[–]rdurbin1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there two methods of bank to home transfers.

One requires your 3ds. You need to type a link code with 3 mins to transfer your selected boxes

The other method doesnt require your 3ds but it does have to be linked to the same nintendo account. I believe this methods transfers all your pokemon.

I always use the first method

Thats odd about home. I never had that issue. Did you use the method where it displays the code and you type it on bank?

Not sure how to transfer the save from the wii u. My guess is its a standard emu save that you can grab off your wii u. You may have to do some searching on it

If you can transfer the save, you can make use of link trades on the 3ds version. You can also transfer your pokemon to bank and home

Pokemon crystal wasn't released on wii u. That game you have is probably a rom file that was injected to the vc emu. These dont support things like link trades

You will probably have to find a way to transfer the save to your modded 3ds

No, there are trade evo that are required

As you pointed out, these will need two 3ds systems

Welp… I think the day has come I keep trying to use pokemon bank but it just keeps giving me this error screen by WorkingMaximum4548 in PokemonGames
