Pokemon \ Pokemon Diamond Migration Problem

Kudos: 6

Mates: 10

I have had Diamond for a few months and have beaten the Elite 4, gotten the National Dex and found Pal Park - all that is great. I recently got Fire Red so that I can migrate pokemon to Pal Park and have read on a few places how to do it - but i have a small problem.

In fire red I make sure that I have 6 pokemon in Box 1 of the PC but every time I start Diamond and it gets as far as the title screen I dont get the option to migrate that I should? And to make the situation even worse every time diamond gets as far as the title screen it deletes the save game on Fire Red and I have to start all over.

I have used trial and error and fire red ony gets deleted if I go as far as the title screen in diamond (where I should be getting the option to migrate). Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there a certain stage of the game you have to get to in Fire Red to stop this from happening?

Thanks in advance

this is an intriuging problem, one of which i have not heard of. Have you played through Fire Red at all, or just started it and cuahgt six to migrate over? i ask this because you might need to have a gym badge on the game in order to migrate, thats my only thought at the moment

I have gotten to pewter city but have not got any badges, i guess it could be worth giving it a try, I just dont understand why my game is erased every time i start up diamond... its weird.

Are you using Diamond with an R4/Cyclo/M3/G6? That could be your problem. Otherwise, it;s your copy of FireRed. Was it preowned?

i know what happened! Same thing happened to me with Emerald. I didn't know i bought a fake version of emerald and i put it in and when i went to migrate it said error. Then i booted up emerald and there was no SAV file. The thing is, when you buy the fake and put in into diamond it erases it.

My diagnoses, you have a FAKE

Also i noticed that if you look at the box a little bit more in detail the print looks really cheesy

Thats also made my theory that it was fake true coz i saw the same one at the market!!

Hmm, that is very odd, either you have a fake cartridge or you haven't collected the Pokedex in FireRed, which you need to, so you can migrate, otherwise you cant.

Maybe you didnt connect it propperly before you turned the game on?

It happened to me,

I found out what happened and tried to fix it, the game was still on and it turned off when I got everything how it is supposed to be!!!

I thought I had broken it! Boy was I lucky

That would have been about $100 down the drain!

I don't think its a fake.....because I got a fake Firered and migration worked.....but I think you have to get the National Dex in Firered/Leafgreen to migrate.
