    Some other special things to note: The Original Color Magearna gift requires a complete National Dex up to Eternatus in Home. If the Pokemon listed in this video are not implemented into Switch games before Bank shuts down, you won't be able to complete these requirements. (Mythical distributions make this one a pain to get either way, but still worth mentioning.) (Thank you @mds_main) Celebi and Deoxys can also be obtained through the DNS Exploit for Gen 4 games, though these games are very finicky to get working with this. (Thank you @mds_main) Deoxys/The Aurora Ticket can also be obtained in RSE through hacks/glitches, not just FRLG. (If you're interested check out Arbitrary Code Execution videos for Emerald, pretty cool stuff) (Thank you @camlt3 and @Ivegotfrostbyte) Deoxys can also change form in Scarlet & Violet with the Meteorite item won at Marinada auctions. Hoopa Unbound is also occasionally featured in Pokemon Go through EX Raids. Only Hoopa Confined can be transferred to Home through Go, so you will need to change it's form in game first. Scarlet and Violet also have items that can change Hoopa's form back and forth though at the Marinada Auction. (Thank you @Lucideirune1635) Alolan Rattata/Raticate are locked to the Let's Go games on the Switch. Since I highlighted ways around needing these games for moves, it's worth mentioning this is the only Pokemon line that this logic would also apply to. They can be caught in any Alola game, as well as Pokemon Go. (Thank you @Croma3375 and @skarloeyisyoung) You can buy heart scales in Alola through ordering food at some restaurants, the one in Malie City gives out the most per dish. This should actually make getting moves crazy fast (Thank you @Slimesonian) The mainline game lock applied to Mythicals from Go only affects the Home account it was initially transferred to. Trading to a second Home can be used to circumvent this. (Thank You @deadmeme739) You may also want to keep in mind other special Pokemon in general that could be obtained in previous games like the ORAS Demo gift Pokemon, or N's Pokemon in B2/W2. (Thank you @mds_main)

    Shutting down bank would be one of the worst decisions they could make.
  • @HeroponSuperT
    Arceus can be legitimately shiny hunted for in BDSP with the Azure Flute event, which can be gotten if you have Legends: Arceus save data on your switch that has obtained Arceus
  • @johanadormeo4170
    6:12 You should have added that some Furfrou forms are exclusive to certain regions in Pokémon Go. There is also a form that is exclusive to Valentines Day EDIT: Just going to add what forms are regional and where they are: Normal, Matron and Dandy is worldwide Debutante is both Americas Diamond is Europe, Middle East and Africa Star is Asia-Pacific La Reine is France Pharoah is Egypt Kabuki is Japan Heart is Valentines Day EDIT 2: Pokémon day has announced a new game that takes place in Kalos. Furfrou being on the switch is now a non issue. We do not know yet if the form stays when transferred into home.
  • i really hope they drop a update to Pokemon bank to make it an offline app like Pokemon box or something. Then transfers from gen 3 to gen 7 would be possible. Additionally they could make it so Pokemon bank can connect to home through wifi without the need of a external server to make transfers to gen 8+ possible.
  • @mjdxp5688
    If anyone's looking to get the Gen 6 event moves, in ORAS you can use the Secret Base function to import a Secret Base with a Pokemon that has one of the event moves, then you can Sketch it with Smeargle and transfer it up.
  • I just can't wait until they do actually release furfrou and all its trims in a switch game because it will absolutely nuke the home trading community who seems to so weirdly rely on the the pharoah trim.
  • Deoxys can be transferred into Pokémon Scarlet and Violet as well, so you can also change Deoxys' form that way after getting the Meteorite from the special auction!
  • @wombatpandaa9774
    It's definitely worth mentioning that some online services for some people have stopped working ahead of schedule, so it's possible Pokémon stuff will do the same.

    17:05 Just to let everyone know you can bypass this restriction by trading the PoGo mythic to another Home account then transferring the mythical from the second home account to the switch game of your choice. Works for all legendaries and mythicals as long as the game you intend to transfer the pokemon to is available in that game
  • @Pinkietron
    9:18 this ticket also exists in emerald as well where ACE is very easily available, so you can use that to tell the game to set the needed flags for the mystery gift man to give you the ticket 11:30 shiny jirachi can also be obtained via the PAL version of pokemon channel
  • @ThundaFuzz
    6:08 Furfrou can actually be caught earliest in Hau'oli City in USUM with a 25% spawn rate, just fyi. Also, shiny Mew is obtainable in any english Emerald with the help of Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) to get the Old Sea Map. From there you can soft reset or RNG it. 19:20, while not being able to "officially" transfer stuff between 5/6/7 without bank, there is the option again to CFW your 3DS and get the PKSM app that has it's own storage capabilities and allows transfer between the games. Anyway, I appreciate the work you've done and all the info!

    Personally I wanna note here: 7:00 Alolan Rattata and Alolan Raticate are currently locked to Let's Go and are the only reigonal forms you currently can't get anywhere else on Switch, so while you can get all the other Alolan Forms in games such as SW/SH or S/V via various means and hence use them in said games (ie. using an Alolan Marowak in Sword), the Alolan Rattata Line is basically locked behind Let's Go and like Furfrou or Watchog, can't be transferred into any of the other mainline Switch games and hence any Alolan Rattata or Raticate transferred from Bank can't be transferred into Let's Go. To give examples on the other Alolan Forms availability: The Alolan Sandshrew, Vulpix, Diglett, Meowth, Geodude and Grimer lines are fully breedable, evolvable and catchable in Scarlet and Violet while Alolan Exeggutor is catchable within the Indigo Disk, you can't evolve Alolan Forms out of Alola sadly meaning Alolan Raichu and Marowak are only available via the Diglett man in the Sword and Shield DLC or prior games with Bank. Meaning the Pokemon who have to stay in HOME and can't enter any Switch games are: Alolan Rattata and Alolan Raticate Spinda Patrat and Watchog Pansage and Simisage Pansear and Simisear Panpour and Simipour Furfrou Meanwhile these Pokemon can enter Switch Games despite being uncatchable on Switch: Celebi (SWSH and BDSP) Deoxys (BDSP and SV) Victini (SWSH) Genesect (SWSH) Pokeball Pattern Vivillon (SV) Diance (SWSH and SV) Hoopa (SV) Volcanion (SWSH and SV) Battle Bond Greninja (SV) Partner Cap Pikachu (SWSH and SV) Magearna (SWSH and SV) Marshadow (SWSH) Zeraora (SWSH)
  • @Slimeonian
    17:52 you can actually just straight up buy heart scales in the Gen 7 games too. It’s one of the restaurants in Malie City :)
  • @DimebagDrl
    19:49 Apriballs are available in the Indigo Disk DLC via the upgraded 3D Printer in the League Club room. Once it's upgraded to the Ultraball model shell, the 3D Printer unlocks a chance to trigger the Pokeball Lotto, which has Apriballs in its drop table as well as Masterball. Once the 3d Printer is upgraded to the Masterball model shell, the lotto has the chance to drop multiples of items.
  • @Eroil
    You took up a massive challenge with these videos with all the tiny details, hope you can feel happy about the result despite the numerous unavoidable misses that would naturally happen with such a project
  • @je19493
    Just want to note that you CAN put a pokemon from GO into a mainline game, but it has to be traded. Friend and I caught deoxys in GO, put it in home, traded them, and then they were able to be put in BDSP
  • 6:30 Diancie was released in pokemon go during the Go fest event as you mentioned and if they follow their pattern should be released to everyone by the end of spring/beginning of summer this year as that's what they do with every mythical release and hoopa unbound is occasionally released in elite raids.
  • Kinda weird how the indigo disk didn't bring back the elemental monkeys considering the setting and the general amount of Unova-loving it does
  • @BigLeek1998
    As someone who’s learned the hard way, you need to fulfill very specific conditions to actually transfer the mew in red, blue and yellow up to bank
