Hi there, Pokemon trainer! It's Professor Willow here, and I'd be glad to lend my expertise on transferring your beloved Pokemon from Diamond to Black 2. While the process might seem a bit tricky at first, it's actually quite straightforward once you know the steps. Let me guide you through it:
Understanding the Transfer ProcessBefore we dive into the specifics, let's clarify some important points about Pokemon transfers between generations:
*
Generational Compatibility: Pokemon games have specific generations that determine compatibility for transfers. Diamond belongs to Generation IV, while Black 2 belongs to Generation V. Transfers between these generations are possible but require particular in-game features and hardware.
*
One-Way Trip: It's crucial to remember that transferring Pokemon from Diamond to Black 2 is a
one-way street. Once transferred, you won't be able to send them back to your Diamond game. Therefore, carefully consider which Pokemon you wish to transfer.
*
National Dex Requirement: In order to access the transfer features in both games, you'll need to have obtained the National Dex in each game. This usually involves completing the main story and encountering a certain number of Pokemon.
Items and Equipment You'll NeedGather the following items before you begin the transfer process:
1. Nintendo DS/DS Lite/3DS/2DS Systems: You'll need two compatible Nintendo DS systems to perform the transfer. One system will be used for your Diamond game, and the other for your Black 2 game.
2. Pokemon Diamond Game Card: Make sure you have your original Pokemon Diamond game card with the Pokemon you want to transfer.
3. Pokemon Black 2 Game Card: Have your Pokemon Black 2 game card ready to receive the transferred Pokemon.
Step-by-Step Transfer GuideNow, let's break down the transfer process into detailed steps:
1. Complete the National Dex in Both Games: As mentioned earlier, having the National Dex is mandatory for transfers between Diamond and Black 2.
2. Unlock Pal Park in Diamond: Pal Park is a special location in Diamond that facilitates transfers to Generation V games. You'll need to progress through the game's story to unlock it.
3. Reach the Transfer Lab in Black 2: Similar to Pal Park, the Transfer Lab in Black 2 is where you'll receive your Pokemon from Diamond. You'll need to have progressed a certain distance into Black 2's story to access the Transfer Lab.
4. Head to Pal Park in Diamond: With both games ready, insert your Diamond game into one of your DS systems and head to the Pal Park location.
5. Choose the Transfer Option: Inside Pal Park, you'll find an option to start the transfer process. Select this option.
6. Select the Pokemon to Transfer: You'll be prompted to choose up to six Pokemon from your Diamond game's PC boxes to transfer. Choose wisely, as this is a permanent decision.
7.
Initiate the Transfer: After selecting your Pokemon, confirm the transfer process. The game will save, and your chosen Pokemon will be prepared for transfer.
8. **Switch to Black 2 and Enter the Transfer Lab:** Now, take your second DS system with Pokemon Black 2 and go to the Transfer Lab. Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the transfer from Diamond.
9.
Catch the Pokemon in Black 2: The transferred Pokemon will appear in the Transfer Lab's designated area. You'll need to "catch" them again, just like you would with any wild Pokemon.
10.
Enjoy Your Transferred Pokemon! Once caught, the transferred Pokemon are now part of your Black 2 team.
Important Considerations:*
Move Relearning: Keep in mind that Pokemon transferred from Diamond might not retain all of their moves in Black 2 due to generational differences. Visit a Move Reminder in Black 2 to relearn moves if needed.
*
Trade Evolutions: Pokemon that evolve through trading in Diamond might require a different method in Black 2. Consult evolution guides if needed.
Transferring your Pokemon between generations is an exciting way to continue your journey with your favorites. By following these steps carefully, you'll have your Diamond team by your side as you explore the Unova region in Black 2! Remember, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
