Ok, so I have Pokemon Platinum, and Pokemon Pearl, and I have about 230 Pokemon on Platinum. I want to put them on the ranch, but we all know about the update and blah blah blah. So I was wondering if there was an easy way to get them all over to Pearl instead of catching 200 Pokemon and doing a million trades.

Nope. Using Ranch wouldn't work even if the update were available internationally.
230 Pokémon divided by 6 Pokémon per one use of Pal Park every 24 hours means you should be done in about... carry the 3, divide the 1, minus the 8...
38 days.
Better get to work.

38 hours is an estimate, of course. Let's assume you have the 230 trade fodder Pokémon on Platinum all ready to be traded one by one to Pearl. A Pokémon trade takes... what, 4 minutes from start to finish, saving included? That's 230 x 4 minutes = 920 minutes = roughly 15 hours.
To that 15 hours, add to the fact that every six Pokémon, you're going to have to go back to the PC and swap out the ones you've just traded for and swap in the next ones to go. Let's say, arbitrarily, that each one of those switches takes 6 minutes. 230 Pokémon / 6 = 38.3 (repeating, of course) x 6 minutes = 230 minutes = just under another 4 hours.
So the rough total is about 19 hours total. Even better than the 38. You could be done by dinnertime tonight/tomorrow.

One minute? It takes 1-2 just to get to the trading part of it.
To trade ONE pokemon from cart A to cart B, one has to do the following on both carts:
1. Gather the Pokemon.
2. Get to the Union Room (saving, sprites entering the room together)
3. Initiate contact.
4. Propose and accept the trade.
5. Select the Pokemon.
6. Confirm the trade.
7. Trade animation.
8. Leave the trade.
9. Leave the Union Room.
Repeat steps 5-7 if trading more than one pokemon.
That is easily 4-6 minutes to trade a party of 6 pokemon.

Event, one per game Pokemon, shiny's, EV trained, breeding projects, ball capsules, Unown collection...
Was that really so hard to think about?

As Randomspot said.
Yeah, just go ahead and catch those Shokotan Pichus and Eigakan Arceuses in the wild. /sarcasm
:/ Srsly you guys.
I have like 18 EV'd Pokemon, 4 shiny Pokemon, and 4 event Pokemon. Plus, I don't think you can trade ball capsules, and I'll give you breeding projects (which can still be obtained using wild Pokemon).
Plus, if you'll read what I said:
"If", of course, being the qualifier. If he's trying to fill up his dex, he can go catch a wild Pichu.

Okay. "If" means people are different than you. You have 26 unique Pokemon you care to keep, for one reason or antoher. It is not hard to have more than that. I easily have 200 Pokemon from breeding projects alone that I plan on keeping.
But would you want to trade them from one game to another, or would you just trade a select few?
Plus, what exactly does a "breeding project" entail? Would this, for example, be a female Charizard that you keep just so that you may breed more Charmander with specific egg moves?

yes frankly i wouldnt bother trying; just pull out that super rod(hahahahah) and stick in the water (rofl) and go fishing for some magikarps I think you could catch way more faster than trading

A breeding project is when you breed a Pokémon for someone else, with good IVs (usually).
Oh, and when I said 1-2 minutes, I meant per Pokémon. That fits with the estimate of 4-6 minutes per party of 6.

yes so like i said trading isint the best option here I would just catch magikarp which is much easier and faster

Remember that eggs work for Ranch. You could always do what I did back for Box and fill it with eggs. I had 1300+ Delibird eggs when I was done. The two Delibirds were Lv82 when I was done. I still wonder if any of them were shiny...
