Do I need to open a Pokemon game to add the Pokemon to my Pokedex?
I am trying to build a living Pokédex in Omega Ruby, and I just transferred all my caught Pokémon from X to the Pokémon Bank. Now I want to add those Pokémon to my Pokédex in OR, so I can see which Pokémon I still can catch in the wild.
I assume I need to transfer them from my Bank to the computer in Omega Ruby, and start-up Omega Ruby. Is this correct, or do I need to do something special (such as having them in my party, to trigger the adding to the Pokédex?)
Best Answer
Yes, you can transfer your living Pokedex from Pokebank to the PC of your ORAS game.
You do not need to actually "unlock" the PC boxes ingame first to do this -- they're all visible in Pokebank even if you just started a new game and haven't caught anything yet.
