Can't change pokemon team order, or put in box. [SOLVED]

[Greatscoot]

So, I hate to do this, but I just restarted. I cannot change my teams order, and I can't drop them in the PC storage.

 

I'm not sure what to do at this point. But if I could have Spinarak put in my storage, I'd appreciate it.

 

Is there any way to fix this? If I can't change my team order it's gonna be a pain to grind.

 

EDIT: For the record, I have restarted and relogged many times, even tried to do it in the Android app to no avail.

Hi GreatScoot,

 

All your Kanto Pokemon that should have been region-locked is now in your PC; can you have a look and confirm this for me?

 

Kind Regards, Astraea.

Hey, thanks for the prompt reply.

 

They were always in the PC, the pokemon that were in my team were all caught in Johto. I notice you put all of them in there sans Totodile and Gastly (I assume I got this from Bellsprout tower, the abandoned one).

 

Otherwise I'm not sure how I acquired that Eevee. Would I be able to at least have that back in my team?

Hi GreatScoot,

 

According to the database, your Pidgey, Spinarak, Eevee, and Sandslash that I've just moved to your PC are all Kanto-caught Pokemon. It is intended that when you start a new region that you are unable to continue with your Kanto-caught Pokemon; you must form a new Johto team and will be unable to use prior region-caught Pokemon until you've successfully defeated the 8th gym.

 

The recent merge has 'scrambled' up the order of Pokemon; for players who have already completed all regions or have not yet started a new region, this wasn't an issue for them. However, if a player was in the middle of doing a main region quest, it is possible that region-locked Pokemon were shifted into their party, and this appears to have been the case for you.

 

Regaring the Eevee, I believe you got that Pokemon during your Kanto story quest upon saving Eevee from Team Rocket. Unfortunately, I am not able to move it back for you, as it is intended to be region-locked in your PC until you defeat the 8th gym of Johto.

 

Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

 

Kind Regards, Astraea.

Forgive me, it's been a long time since I've played if you recall. So I don't remember if there's a quest/story-related reason why I would've had an Eevee in my party when I logged back in yesterday (when I had that merging issue you helped me with, and I do recall that Eevee being in my party). I'll assume that isn't the case, and it ended up in my party from the "scramble" you mentioned.

 

I'm a little bummed about that Eevee, but either way, thanks for your help again in solving this issue. I can switch my Pokemon team freely now!

Hi GreatScoot,

 

No problem; actually, you get the Eevee after completing the Celadon Underground Hideout Quest, which is mandatory to complete in order to progress further in the Kanto story, meaning you had to have done it as you appear to have completed Kanto:

 

• [spoiler=Celadon Underground Hideout Quest]When you arrive at Celadon City the first thing you might notice is Sergeant Rick. Team Rocket has set up base in the Gamecorner and Rick needs help infiltrating it.
  To start the quest you need to offer your help.
  
   
  Enter the Gamecorner and talk to Greg. He will lead you downstairs.
  
   
  Once you are downstairs, talk to Greg again and he will leave. However, clumsily he will forget his lift key. Pick it up and use the lift at the bottom of the hideout.
  
   
  Use the lift to go to B2F where you will meet Jackson. Fight him and defeat him in a battle.
  
   
  When you beat him he will get really upset and alert Team Rocket of your whereabouts. Walk around and you will be captured by Team Rocket.
  Whilst in this room you can use the crates to hoist yourself over the wall and attempt an escape.
  
  If a Team Rocket member sees you then you will be transported back to where you started.
   
  In B2F there is a large maze with some items scattered around it. Go through the maze, following the red arrows and exit the maze with the green arrow.
  
   
  Once you collect all the items go down the second flight of stairs to B3F and fight Greg.
  
   
  After you beat him go through the smaller maze and down the staircase. Once you're in B4F defeat the Supervisor to get the Card Key.
  
   
  Go back upstairs to B2F and through the large maze again. Take the lift to B4F and use the Card Key on the hidden door.
  
   
  Fight Giovanni and after you defeat him he will run from the building.
  
   
  You can now pick up the Silph Scope from Giovanni's table. You now need to look in each receptor for an Eevee.
  There are 2 receptors in Giovanni's room, 1 on the other side of B4F and 2 more on B3F.
   
  After you find the Eevee you can now leave the Gamecorner and talk to Sergeant Rick. He will reward you for your hard work with the Eevee that you just saved.

As your issue is solved, I'll now lock this topic! Have a great rest of your week.

 

Kind Regards, Astraea.
