>>45401626Anon, why are you focusing entirely on the GBA era games while ignoring everything I'm saying about the current gen games? You COULD transfer from XD to Emerald or vice versa if you wanted to, just not Shadow Pokemon, but if we went with your suggestion of removing anything problematic about Shadow Pokemon then I'm actually agreeing they could have been implemented, maybe the Shadow attack could have been ??? type, which is gone for whatever reason.
But all of your post has absolutely nothing to do with my argument that being unable to transfer specific mon in 2020 is totally unacceptable, ESPECIALLY with how much it costs to maintain Home or to transfer from GO now. GF and Niantic have been partnered for years, LGPE literally exists to bridge the gap between the two games, Home allows transfer directly from GO, and GF has shown they don't actually mind multiple forms of a Pokemon that are just cosmetics with the 8 Hat Pikachus.
Put all of this together and you have GF looking like clowns for not allowing the transfer of more event Pokemon. Through all this arguing no one has given me a good answer as to why in the age of patches and DLC, there's still a gap between the two games despite everything showing that the transfer of a Pokemon with an alternate texture would be zero issue for GF.

>>45400612, if we base everything off of what the "majority" does there might as well not be a Pokedex since the "majority" of people only catch what they use during the main game and there's no actual evidence to suggest otherwise just like there's no actual evidence to suggest no one uses transfer.
