why am I not allowed to transfer pokemon form gen 7 to gen 6? even pokemon I originally got from there can't be transferred back.

I want access to the move tutor, bred a pretty good scyther and just now realized it can't have technician bug bite

Probably because there's no way to retain the new flags. Hyper training, ribbons and whatnot.

Probably because they'd have to make a patch for Gen 6.

doesnt sound like a lot of effort, sometimes I'm wondering what I pay for. I hope whatever game comes next for gen 7 at least brings the move tutor back and then the whole franchise gets a soft reboot on the switch.

no megas, no z moves, no IVs, 50 additional EVs

this is the correct answer. as soon as you transfer the pokemon to gen 7, new data gets added to the pokemon's byte structure. nintendo didn't want to risk data loss and were too lazy to do the extra coding to even check if any gen7 only shit was even added, so prevented any of the pokemon with the additional bytes from going back

Seems like most of the "problems" gf has with this issue can be remedied by just putting the bare minimum amount of time into thinking about it.

We all know this is in their best interest to do nothing about it anyway.

I think I'm done with pokemon games. Should I move my pokemon into Hoenn (the first region games I played), or should I move them to Alola and meet up with some of my new bro mons?

If you think it doesn't sound like a lot of effort, then you must not understand the problem and the effort required to do such a thing correctly.

Gen 2 had backwards trading with the exact same conditions that OP is desiring and more. There's absolutely no good excuse to not allow tradebacks to any gen via Bank assuming there's no moves/ribbons/etc on the Pokemon that didn't exist in the target gen

Gen 2 was 15 fucking years ago and couldnt connect to wifi and has barely any of the actual things mentioned as being the reason why. everytime you guys have been given an answer to the question you just whine that gamefreak is lazy.

Oh no, you mean they need to put effort into the things they make? Oy vey, that won't make people money or happy.

There's literally a fan made app you can get for free that allows you transfer from any gen to another, with the same conditions as transferring from gen two to gen one. Clearly you don't know shit about programming.

Not moving items forward is a balancing measure. At least for gen 5 to 6 and 6 to 7.

It's not hard, it's a business decision. They do not WANT you going back to the old games. They want the player base constantly moving forward and buying every new iteration that comes out.

It's the same reason they haven't done a reprint of HG/SS despite it still being a very high demand game 7 years later. It's the same reason they've been so hesitant to re-release games on the Virtual Console and instead insist on doing remakes. So on, so forth.

If you knew anything about coding, you'd know that tracking simple data values is literally trivial aside from space constraints.
