Hi @Iandegraf

 

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I would like to inform you that when you start to play the story of a region, you will be able to use only the Pokémon native of that region, meanwhile all the one native of previous regions will be locked in your pc until you have the 8th badge of the region you're playing. For what regard the Pokémon native of regions not unlocked yet, you will have to first to start/complete them.

 

Therefore, as you're still playing Kanto's story, you will be able to use only Kanto's Pokémon. Instead, all the one of Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh will be locked into your PC because you have not yet unlocked those regions. Do keep in mind that the 8th badge unlock only the pokemon of the previous regions and not the one of the future ones.

 

Do note that we cannot move out the Pokémon from your PC as the system is intended to work like that.

 

Please, let me know if something is unclear and if you have any further questions.

Have a wonderful day!
