The service lets players bring Pokémon caught in the Virtual Console versions of Red, Blue, & Yellow, as well as Pokémon from Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire and X & Y, into Sun & Moon. Using it before October 7 also awards players Mew's Z-Crystal, Mewnium. For more on the service, head here.

Our Take
I recognize this is for the hardest of hardcore Pokémon players, and it is probably difficult to implement, but I am surprised it was not available at launch for Sun & Moon. I suppose having access to your library of more than three years worth of collected Pokémon might have also broken the game, in terms of challenge, so maybe that's why The Pokémon Company has been withholding it.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
