Frequently Asked Questions

• Q:  Can I deposit Pokémon from more than 1 game?
• A:  You can deposit Pokémon from up to 8 game paks. There is a restriction that only permits a Pokémon to be withdrawn by the depositing game pak. If that game pak is restarted those Pokémon are forever trapped at the Ranch.

• Q:  What happens if I erase the MPR save file?
• A:  All of the Pokémon that were on the Ranch at that time are forever gone.

• Q:  How can I change the name of my Ranch?
• A:  The name of your Ranch is the same as the name of your Wii. Change your Wii's name via the Wii settings menu.

• Q:  My Pokémon won't transfer!
• A:  As a fail-safe you are not allowed to transfer a Pokémon to the Ranch if it is the only remaining Pokémon in your game that knows the HM move that the Pokémon you are trying to transfer has. To transfer that Pokémon teach the HM to a Pokémon you do not wish to transfer.

• Q:  I can only deposit ## of Pokémon, why?!?
• A:  Your Ranch level prevents you from adding more until it is expanded the next day. This process can be sped up by changing the date on your Wii to the next day.

• Q:  Can I change the time/date to speed the process up?
• A:  Yes. Do so in the Wii Settings menu.

• Q:  What happens if I set time backward after skipping ahead?

• Q:  Can I play without music?
• A:  Yes. When the game starts hold [B] + v (down on the D-pad).

• Q:  Can I clone in this game?
• A:  No. At least no glitch for doing so has been uncovered. However, a cheat device will permit this. By creating a backup save of your DS save file, depositing Pokémon on that cart to your Ranch and then reloading the backup save, those deposited Pokémon will be in your Diamond/Pearl game/s as well as your Ranch. There are other cheat methods that can be used.
