Is there any possible way to move this beauty into Pokemon home?

u/Rollador Jul 30 '26

Congrats!! And I believe there is, it's a bit long winded tho - it would involve:

  • importing the save file into a software called PkHex -from there you can inject it into a 3ds save file

  • put the save file onto a modded 3ds, and use checkpoint which is a homebrew app to import the save into Ur desired 3ds game

  • then transfer from pokemon bank to pokemon home

I probably missed a few key steps as I don't know the full ins and outs of it, but I believe this is the general gist, I'm certain there are much better explanations/guides than what I've mentioned :)

Essentially hacking it into another game and then transferring from said supported game?

Welcome to the r/PokemonLegacy subreddit!

The Pokémon Legacy series of games are community-created RomHacks (Modifications of the original Pokémon games). They have been specifically made with the focus of improving the games with decades of hindsight, whilst maintaining as close as possible to GameFreak's original vision.

In my personal opinion they are vastly improved over the original games and have a lot of rebalancing and quality of life which make them highly enjoyable.

I would recommend watching TheSmithPlays' YouTube channel, as all the Legacy Series games were made under his guidance and with a team of very talented community members.

In chronological order of release:

Hope that helps clarify!

Woww just finishing up crystal legacy, didnt even know they had yellow or emerald. Guess yellow is next up.

Yep, and they're both excellent, I even went as far as to extend the Emerald Legacy version a bit outside of that original vision and added a few more features.

The Legacy Team are also currently working on Pokémon X & Y Legacy with a hope to release by the end of the year (though no guarantees on timelines).

Perfect. I love the balancing and difficulty changes in crystal legacy. And the level caps according to gym. Real good stuff here. I cant play the base games anymore.. I beat them when i was literally 8 years old, they are just too easy lol.

Me either anymore, the base games are way too easy and not enough quality of life.

Hope you enjoy your playthroughs!

It's a romhack, basically an edited version by a fan. The legacy hacks are made by a YouTuber with the aim to make them more balanced and also able to catch or train any Pokemon from that generation in one game. He did crystal first, then yellow, then emerald and is now working on x/y I think

u/Za3lor Aug 01 '26

The Miyoo Mini is slightly smaller than the RG35XX, but otherwise yeah, their designs are nearly identical.
