Hi everyone, I don't know if I post this thread in correct area... I have one US Diamond and one Japanese Black 2 and want to transfer some pokemons from the former to the latter with two DS; However it does not work and may be due to region locked? I've Googled it but got many different answers to the same question. I wonder if I can do it following the process below: 1. buy one Japanese Pearl 2. trade the pokemons I want from US version Diamond to Japanese version Pearl 3. transfer them from Japanese version Pearl to Japanese Black 2 via pokemon shifter.
I assume your using DSi, then According to this place downloaded games are region locked but cartridge games are not I haven't read through it but this should help you If you have a DS/Lite and a DSI try putting Diamond into your DSi and Black 2 in your DS/Lite... it appears that only the DSi is region locked
Thanks but it doesn't help. My hardware environment: 1. one US DSL 2. one JAP 3DS My software environment: 1. one US diamond. it can run on both of my systems. 2. one JAP Black 2. it can run on both of my systems. Issue: 1. run US diamond on US DSL, run JAP Black 2 on JAP 3DS. 2. launch pokemon shifter in Black 2 and launch download play on DSL with diamond inserted. 3. DSL can find Black 2 download play but cannot continue after connected. 'You are using incorrect software'. 4. same result if I run US diamond on JAP 3DS & JAP Black2 on US DSL. QUestion: 1. can I TRADE pokemon from US diamond to JAP Platina? If yes, I will but one JAP Platina and then transfer them to JAP Black2. 2. However the point is, is it caused by different region versions of GAME, OR different region versions of DS systems? If it is the latter, I won't be able to transfer any pokemon from any Gen 4 games to Gen 5... And, I won't think about hacking my system. I heard that you can transfer pokemon between Gen 4 games in different region version, but cannot transfer them between Gen4 and Gen5 if they are in different region. So I'll buy JAP Platina.
