i have a question regarding friend safaris an FCs. if i put my X file from 3ds (99FCs) into my 2ds (3 FCs), will it only show the FC safaris regireter on the 2ds? i was unable to get a complete FC list due to overlapping FC that i need t hold onto. im hoping to fill in the blanks witht he space on my 2ds FC list to acces it with X file. does it work to get the last ones im missing?

Your friend code listings are locked to the system, not the game. They will not transfer with your game from system to system.

Any of X/Y's Mega Evolutions can be used in linked play with any other game. Any of the OR/AS-exclusive Mega Evolutions can only be used in linked play with other OR/AS games.

what exactly will be affected when the online services for gen6 finally go offline? i know the GTS will shut down but what about the PSS system? will online trades with PSS be affected to and what about physical proximity between 2 separate DS systems? i know i can trade between my ds systems without any sort of online connection, hopefully that feature will remain viable

Pokemon Global Link or PGL is already down, so any Functions for Spending Pokémiles and receiving items, or Ranked battles is now down.

PSS and GTS are relatively lightweight on the server compared to PGL, but will eventually be discontinued, most likely when all Gen 6 online funtions will be discontinued. I should point out that since Pokémon is a "evergreen" title that this functionality will most likely be stopped when the 3DS online support is removed. There is No indication when this could happen, nor I think it will being even considered for at least a year. (We assume that Nintendo had little say in removing the DS and Wii support due to Gamespy servers also being cut at the same time.)

AS for offline support. Trading will still work, as long as both games are on the same patch. Local Battles, and o-Power sharing is still possible, as well as all Local functions that work today.

As I understand it, everything stays the same except for Rated Battles and GTS, and the Global Link website stuff.

thank you very much for the replies, i obviously missed this due to not using PGL. i never did register the file to PGL or did any sort of ranked battle.

im going to miss the current online features that are still active for the time being but i know its inevitable. its good to know the local features will still work, im more reliant on that to begin with but GTS pkmn fishing is still quite useful to me.

If I want to have a Pokemon that's not in my region (central, coastal, mountain) can I still trade for it without causing an error in the game?

Like, if I want a coastal or moutain Mon when I'm still in the central region of Kalos, is that safe?

Absolutely.

You can even get National Dex Pokémon through wonder trade with no problem.

Synchronize does not affect the shiny odds, only the Poke Radar, Chain Fishing and Shiny Charm do. (potentially something else I'm missing.)
