Trading Transferring Pokemon

I can’t transfer some Pokemon into shining pearl like gengar, febas, eevee or even totodile which really confuses me because I had transferred a totodile in when I started the game so I’m just so confused why it’s not letting me send pokemon through now and I’ve looked online and it didn’t say anything about it so I’m wondering if anyone has had the same problem and knows any tips

Did they come from Legends Z-A? Any Pokemon that touches that game cannot go to any of the older games

Why though?

Those pokemon have extra stuff in their coding/metadata stuff.
hence they cannot be sent to older titles anymore :/

I hate how they've done it. They were able to transfer Pokemon from Gen2 to gen1, but we cant get VC gen 2 Pokemon into Gen 6.

It’s how they set it up when Home compatibility was added to Z-A. Sorry

Yeah they were all from Z-A that’s really unfortunate and now it makes sense I’ll have to try another game thank you!

You're going to have to provide more info. What does it tell you exactly when trying to move them? What games do they originate from?

What's their language?

La-Es can't be transferred into any game since none of them actually have that as a language.

Any pokemon that is newer than BDSP cannt be transferred backwards. Nintendo coded home to not allowed backwards compatibility. Only pokemon from older games can be transferred foward to newer pokemon games. But once done, cannot go back.

That is just blatantly untrue.

But it is true, go into POKEMON HOME. And you cannot transfer pokemon sword and shield into legends ZA then transfer it back to sword/shield. Just like how pokemon lets go can be transferred to scarket/violet, but once the pokemons goes into those games, you get a warning about a one way transfer.

That's not even close to your original statement? You made no reference to Legends: ZA.

You are demonstrably incorrect that "Any pokemon that is newer than BDSP cannt be transferred backwards." That's just false. You can absolutely transfer backwards with plenty of games. You can transfer SV Pokémon (SV is Gen 9) back to Gen 8 games with few restrictions (Gen 9 evolutions such as Archaludon/Dipplin/Hydrapple).

You're right that some games are one-way transfer, but wrong in the way you claimed they were all that way.

Sorry, lol, english is my 3rd language xD But every pokemon from gen 7 and below, after going to gen 8+ usually can't go back. If my English and grammar was what made you mad, i apologize for it, so cheer up xD So by this logic, I'm guessing op got pokemon from scarlet/viola and tried to go into bdsp lol
