resolved Question about Region change

[Omega998]

Hello, i read here that all Kanto Pokemon will be locked as soon as i enter Johto.

 

But what will happen to

- Johto Pokemon that i caught and trained in Kanto like Xatu?

- Hoen or every further area Pokemon that i caught in Kanto

 

Can i keep them or will they be locked as well?

Its just about the region it was caught in, you can see a region on every pokemon card and that is the only thing that matters for the region-locked limiation.

Apologies for the delayed response. Any pokemon you caught in previous regions will simply remain locked until you beat the 8th badge in that region. Afterwards, they will be unlocked again. 

 

A pokemon can belong to the Kanto Pokedex but be available to be hunted in Sinnoh, like Magikarp. For example, If I have just entered Johto for the first time, I won't be able to use a Magikarp I caught in Kanto, but I will be able to use a Magikarp I caught in Johto. What matters in this situation is where you caught the pokemon, and not in which pokedex it belongs.

 

As it's been a few weeks and I see you've progressed into the region, I will lock this as resolved with this response.

 

Kind regards,
