How to trade Pokemon between the 3DS and the PC

emulationnintendo-3ds-3dsxl-2dspokemon-sixth-generation

On one hand I have Sapphire on my PC, running with VBA emulator, and on the other I have Pokemon X on my 3DS. I wanted to trade several Gen 3 and lower Pokemon between them, but couldn't find out how. I tried to connect the 3DS to my PC with a USB cable, but it still didn't help. On the 3DS I found you can switch with wireless connection, but since I dont have another 3DS, I dont see how it helps.

Is there such an option? And if so, how do I do this?

Best Answer

No. Let's break this down a little:

  • To get Pokemon onto X/Y (Gen6), you need one of B/W/B2/W2 (Gen5)
  • To get Pokemon onto B/W/B2/W2 (Gen5), you need two DS units, one of them with a Gen4 game (D/P/Pt/HG/SS).
  • To get Pokemon onto D/P/Pt/HG/SS (Gen4), you need a Gen3 (R/S/E/FR/LG) GBA cart inserted into the bottom slot of a DS/DSlite.

At no point along these steps is there a legitimate means to transfer Pokemon from a ROM on your PC to the official game cartridges.
