Once you get to the PKHex part, move all of your Pokémon from the backed up GBA cart reader game(s) to the 3DS' Gen 6/7 backup save file in PKHeX, then export and overwrite the 3DS save with the new one once all of your Gen 3 Pokémon are on it. I then personally use a SD-to-USB USB stick to transfer the backed up save files from JKSM/Checkpoint to my PC, then can edit it with PKHeX. or Sun/Moon, etc.) using JKSM/Checkpoint.
PKHEX PROJECT POKEMON CIA INSTALL
GBA cart reader device for your GBA handheld to backup your saves to your PC, then mod your 3DS to have custom firmware on it so that you can install JKSM or Checkpoint, which is used to backup/restore game save files. Well, for what you're trying to do, said it all already above. Then I save 3DS game to R4? But how since there is only one slot? It looks like I will need one for the DS Lite, and the 3DS.īackup save from GBA to R4, save to computer. Thank you, I have gotten to that point now. Place all the Pokémon you want to transfer into Pokémon Bank, install HOME on your mobile device, purchase HOME Premium, and then transfer them from Bank to HOME. Install custom firmware on your 3DS, backup a Gen 6 or 7 savefile with JKSM or Checkpoint, and use PKHeX to move your pokemon between your Gen 3 save and the 3DS save. The easiest way would be to purchase a flashcart for the DS Lite (like an R4 Gold) and use GBA Backup Tool, or a cart reader for GB/GBA carts and export your savefile(s). Money is not so much a barrier as 100+ hours would be to move 100's of 'mon across 4 generations. I am willing to purchase a reader/flash device or whatever is required. I am sure that there is some tutorial out there. I have a DS Lite, 3DS, GBA, but not a switch. I refuse to go through the crazy official process that it would require otherwise. I want to move all of my 3rd gen Pokemon (cartridges) to Pokemon Home, or whatever the current cloud system is, to be able to use when I pick the games back up. This seems like the place to at least be pointed in the right direction.
