>transfer a RBY Pokémon to SM that can evolve by trading
>trade and evolve that Pokémon
>cant get it back because the game thinks its ilegal that a non gen 1 pokemon has the gameboy icon
>yfw gamefreak forgot about all these trade evolutions
Good job, GF.

They said that putting mons into SM was a one way thing. Once they are put in SM they are stuck in the current gen
>>31537281
That's not what he's saying.
>>31537245
REALLY?!?!?!?!?!
>>31537245
So what happens if you use a leaf stone on a transferred exeggcute, will it still behave properly?
>>31537245
Oh god, that's bad.
>>31537339
I think the problem is that the trade evolution was introduced after first gen.
For example, Slowpoke evolving into Slowking, or Seadra evolving into Slowking. Those ultimately become gen2 pokemon, but are stuck with the gen1 mark.
>>31537320
Yes. Some anon couldnt get his Kingdra back from his friend because it was a Seadra that came from RBY.
Not sure if its only for non gen 1 or if that happens with Gengar, Alakazam and others. Either way gamefreak is retarded.
>>31537357
>Seadra evolving into Slowking
Good one nerd.
But yeah, I figured that was the case.
You'd think the gameboy symbol would be on gentwo pokemon that get transferred too since we're due for GSC re-releases any month now.
How the fuck did they let this happen?
>>31537245
Why did they think this was a good idea?
>>31537470
They don't. They're just stupid.
Pokémon affected from the top of my head
>Slowking
>Scizor
>Steelix
>Kingdra
>Poliwrath
>Electivire
>Rhyperior
>Magmortar
Am I missing something? Also someone need to spread this so they can fix it. Maybe a tweet to Joe
>>31537502
Politoed, not wrath.
>>31537466
It happened the same way people forgeto that there are only 2 genders!
>>31537510
GODDAMN
>>31537516
Tell that to Jynx. Poor Jynx.
RIP Male Jynx from Crystal era... you aren't illegal. Honest!
>>31537245
so get some friends and stop using the GTS, you fucking idiot.
>>31537675
>anon in charge of being literate
I don't even know where to begin telling you quite how wrong you are
>>31537245
Doesn't this also mean Reflect Blissey can't be used, either?
>>31537502
I'd say other cross gen evos are affected when it comes to trading and battling as well.
>>31537663
>Male Jynx from Crystal
>>31537502
Eevee, Lickitung
>>31537245
I wish this was bait but I already know gamefreak fucked everything up, badly.
>>31537245
are you serious?
>GF in charge of not breaking their own game
And the genwun pandering continues. Daily reminder that if you evolve your genwun pokemon into a non-genwun pokemon it is now considered illegal.

And tangela and porygon
>>31540744
And golbat and chansey
>>31537373
are the gsc releases confirmed?
>>31540755

No concrete proof or direct confirmation but the Gameboy icon is applied to Pokémon with seven internal ID numbers. Four are taken up by RGBY. That leaves three unused slots. Gold, Silver, and Crystal would fit those three slots.
