I've got emerald and pearl beat e4 on pearl but just started on emerald i want to transfer the 6 Pokémon that i have caught in emerald to pearl but i load pearl with emerald in gba slot and it deletes the save data on emerald

all i want is mudkipz in pearl!!!
and some others that will help with nat-dex in pearl

am i doing something wrong?
 
Deleted Data? o_O
Well, if this isn't unique...
If you have finished Elite Four and seen all Pokemon of the Sinnoh Pokedex, you should be normaly able to transfer Pokemon via Pal Park. Is Emerald on the same Language with Pearl? Region doesn't matter I believe; my Diamond is US and my other Pokemon carts EU, yet I can transfer. Language does matter though, I think.
 
It sounds like you have a fake emerald cart.

the cart doesn't look fake in any way

Deleted Data? o_O

i have barely done anything on emerald i just wanted to trade over mukip so i caught 7 other Pokemon to be safe and they are both engish US and i have a Euro DS so it isn't region or language does anyone know if i have to have a gym badge on emerald or something
what it does is it deletes the data on emerald if emerald is in the ds with pearl and pearl is loaded up
 
where did you get it? Is it clear green? on the pokemon label does it have an indented number i.e. 09 on the back does it have nintendo model no. agb-002 pat. pend in japan? the reason I ask is thet the only time I have heard of games being deleted is when the gba game was a fake.
 
The fact that it is deleting your save data is extremely worrying and it should not be connected to the amount of badges or pokémon you own. It's irrelevant what your progress in Emerald is as long as you can go to a pokémon centre for trading, the only important factor is beating the Elite 4 in Pearl to access Pal Park!
It would appear that there is something wrong with your cart and I suggest you email Nintendo about it. You could also look up guides to illegitimate cartridges and verify whether or not yours is fake or not.
 
Yeah, your Emerald pack is messed. I can transfer Pokemon from FireRed regardless of my progress in that game. Aslong as you see all 150 in Sinnoh and beat E4, you should be fine.
 
The Emerald is a fake. The problem happens when you insert a fake cartridges in the 2nd slot while loading a Diamond/Pearl. I know cuz it happened to me. And I always KNOW that my Emerald & Fire Red are fakes.
 
would it work if i traded to a not fake 3gen game and migrated it then? or can it not trade across 3gen either
 
I'm not sure if fakes can trade to the same gens as themselves, I assume they can't.

Are you certain that your doing the transfer correctly for Pal Park? Also, where did you get the game from?
 
Link is useless as it is based on your account/IP thing. (I think xD)

Have looked on the site and it seems to be okay for most things. One thing did suprise me though. Then had a deal called "Pokemon Collection DS" which had 6 of the DS games for just £32. As that is very cheap then they might be getting fakes.

Tried any other cartridges to pal park with?
 
oh sorry about that link
also i only bought emerald
however i did find it suspicious that you had to request the cases and instruction books and would be charged for them separately i just bought the cartridge
 
Definetly fake then. The charge for the case and booklet is probably because they have to go the extra way to get them as the maker of the fake cartridges will most likely not make them as well.

Also I believe (not positive) that it's illegal to sell the game without the case and booklet.
 
they do state on the page that the book and case are not included so i think they will get away with that but...
they still sold me a fake game

I'm even not that worried about that because it works fine other than
what i bought it for witch was to help me complete my national dex on pearl and i cant do that with it although i was intending on buying the other 3gen games so i can accomplish this
so what i need to find out is if the fake can trade with a real 3 gen game like fr/lg with is what i intended to buy next
 
Actually in order to trade with FRLG you need the National Dex on both Emerald and FRLG (which means beating the E4, and go on a "sidequest" in FRLG), so you might be better off going with RS instead.
 
First find out if the fake Emerald can trade with the other gen 3 games. If it doesn't then go with what Tina said and use either Ruby or Sapphire (non-fake of course xD).
 
i found a great deal on all 5 games for £30 i emailed one of the people who had bought it and they confirmed that they all work on pal park so I'll get that.
