Can you send ACE FR/LG generated Pokémon into HOME? (Spoiler: YES!!)

Storyline / Objective

The video centers on whether ACE-generated Pokémon (created via glitches/manipulation methods) from Pokémon Fire Red / Leaf Green can be transferred into Pokémon HOME without being rejected as illegal.

Gameplay / Transfer Process (as discussed)

The creator:

1. Prepares Pokémon in Fire Red / Leaf Green generated through different ACE methods.
2. Attempts to transfer them to Pokémon HOME using the GBA games interface.

Key Pokémon HOME constraints mentioned

• You can only transfer an entire box.
• If any single Pokémon in the box is illegal, the whole box transfer fails.
• Pokémon cannot have held items during transfer (items can also trigger legality issues).

Key Tests / What Was Tried (Pokémon categories)

“Likely illegal” spawns (origin-location mismatch)

Examples include Celebi, Mudkip, and Blaziken (referred to as “Platican/Blasyan”). These are said to have been spawned/caught in Viridian City’s Pokémon Center, even though those Pokémon (as claimed) cannot normally be encountered there. The expectation was that they would be illegal due to incorrect “met” location/origin.

Legality-focused “safe” examples (mostly expected to pass)

• Aerodactyl: hatched (6 IV shiny) with all legal moves; claimed to be fully compatible with Fire Red / Leaf Green.
• Rayquaza: hatched via a similar method, but expected to fail because Rayquaza cannot normally be hatched in the Viridian City Pokémon Center. (The video later confirms it fails.)
• Shiny Chansey: created by manipulating origin from “hatched” to “met in Safari Zone” at level 26, to match a plausible legal origin.
• Metang + Jirachi: based on recreated early-2000s event distributions (Rox Matang / Wish Maker Jirachi), claimed to match original event characteristics closely.
• Shiny Charizard: created from Charmander via respawn/evolution/shiny method; expected to be uncertain (ultimately failing).
• Scyther / “Shizer”: evolves from Scyther by self-trading inside the Viridian City Pokémon Center using a code/trade manipulation method. Intended to be 100% valid because evolution mechanics are consistent.

Outcomes / Results (What HOME accepted vs rejected)

After testing and removing problematic entries, the final goal was a fully legal box.

Accepted as legal by Pokémon HOME

• Celebi
• Mudkip
• Blaziken
• Aerodactyl
• Charmander with no moves (accepted as a test case)
• Chansey (shiny “Safari Zone origin” version)
• Metang
• Jirachi (event recreation)
• Shizer / Scyther-evolved (self-traded evolution case)

Rejected by Pokémon HOME

• Rayquaza (HOME did not recognize it correctly; described as being marked as a hack)
• Charizard (unexpectedly rejected even though it came from what was otherwise described as a “normal Charmander”)

Key Strategies / Tips Mentioned

• All-or-nothing box transfer: if any Pokémon in the box is illegal, the entire box won’t transfer.
• Check held items: items can make a Pokémon (and thus the whole box) fail legality checks.
• Origin matters: “met” location/origin formatting (e.g., Safari Zone vs hatched) can be crucial to passing HOME checks.
• Event replication can work: Pokémon recreated to match old event distributions (moves/OT/ID/met data) may pass legality filters.
• Evolution via trade can be accepted: even if the trade is created through manipulated methods—as long as HOME detects a valid evolution/trace consistent with game mechanics.

Gamers / Sources Mentioned at the End

No specific gamer channels, creators, or external sources are named in the subtitles beyond references to events (e.g., “Rox” event and Wish Maker Jirachi).
