Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

Odd, I managed to transfer my Arceus to Y. Maybe it's because I used the event Arceus from Platinum rather than the North America Dream World one for B/W.
 
so basically, yes, you will have to pay to transfer your pokemon from previous games
tbh i think that sucks. i've never actually finished a pokemon game, but if i did have a pokemon that i wanted to bring across at some point in the future, then i wouldn't be able to without paying money for a feature i don't really need

If you don't need it then it shouldn't bother you. Don't worry about paying for something you're not even sure you want to use. For as long as it is an 'if', you shouldn't be concerned about it.
 
when i said "feature i don't need" i was refering to the bank part because i doubt i'd ever catch enough pokemon to be able to even fill the boxes in-game. should have made that clearer, sorry.
but you're right, it probably shouldn't bother me much, but it still seems a bit of a rip-off :P
 
I don't think it's worth it but I'm not paying for it so it's not my problem.

That's how I see it at least. I didn't like Y much anyway so I wouldn't want to transfer anything to it.

For some reason I can't transfert the Arceus and Darkrai I caught in my Pokémon Pearl.
 
From what I could tell, any Pokemon with an event ribbon can't be traded with the GTS and Wonder Trade features.
 
Right but I can't even tranfert these Pokémons to my Pokémon Y game. While I managed to transfert other event Pokémons like the shiny legendary dogs.
 
If they're not considered legal by Game Freak's standards, they won't be accepted. I was able to transfer all the event Pokemon from my White
