What was your favorite Pokemon game ever created and why? It could be from any gen and doesnt have to be a mainline pokemon game as well. It could also be a fan made Pokemon game. Also tell me what generation you got into Pokémon and what your first game was.
I decided I wanted to play all the Pokémon games on the 3ds/2ds (the ones now on the switch suck). However I know that the best experience would be to get a 2ds (cheaper) and mod it to run homebrew and download the VC’s + 3ds from h shop games that way. But I would also have to find a way to get the gen 3+ds games on it. Also, the place where I would get it would be vinted (because there are very cheap options there) but it would be region locked to EU (I dont live in EU). I know luma3ds removes the region lock however I am pretty sure it may still cause problems with NNID and Pokemon bank. For example, if I get pokemon bank from h shop, it would ask to make a NNID. But if it was originally region locked to EU, I think it will come across errors and I may need to do a SOAP transfer or whatever. The main reason I would want to use a 2DS for pokemon is mainly for using pokemon bank and transferring my pokemon and such. I also dont know much about PKSM, Poke transporter, and PKHex.
The other option would be to emulate pokemon but obviously I cant transfer anything. I am kind of torn between this because obviously simply modding a 2ds/3ds is easy, but handling the region lock stuff with NNID could be very annoying and I dont know what a SOAP transfer is but I simply can not do it.
I mainly came here to get answers and recommendations that best suit my prefrences. First of all, I am curious about the very specific and detailed difference and ises for PKSM, poke transporter, and PkHex and how they play into my prefrences (or what I am trying to do more specifically.)
Second (this one is extremely important) how will purchasing a EU region locked 2DS affect me using Pokemon bank and registering NNID to use it?
And finally, I also want some knowledge of transferring pokemon between a 2DS console (or handheld) with pokemon bank and pksm/poke transporter etc. such as like the way they move, how they move and such.
Also, is it really worth bothering with all this just to manipulate my pokemon between games? Should I just emulate honestly? (I can emulate any pokemon game and get an 8bitdo to make it feel more authentic). Should I not bother will all of this and will emulating the games suffice? (I dont mean bothering to mod the 2ds because I know that is really easy but I mean bothering with the SOAP transfer, NNID, Pokemon bank region problems etc.) There are also the benefits of being able to play other retro games (if you consider gba/ds/3ds game retro, if you dont that is fine) other than pokemon but again I cant really decide.
If anyone can help with my questions and recommendations I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
Since the 3ds/2ds has been discontinued for a long while, there are a bunch of second hand sellers on ebay and such however everywhere I look is either sketchy, broken junk parts, or just outright very expensive. It feels really easy to get scammed or they may not provide much information (what region, firmware version etc.). I wanted to mod it and use the h shop but I dont know where to purchase it. Sorry if this has been asked before but I have been looking on ebay for a while but havent seen any good ones. Thankyou in advance.

Hey I wanted to know what are the main ways to know if people you play with are bots. Also I am fairly new to this game and dont understand some terms like “jungler” and what not so I would appreciate if people would explain roles and stuff and how that applies to identifying bots.
Circumstance 1: Hypothetical scenario 1: Emulated Pokemon blue on mobile (retro arch for example) and caught a mankey. Now is there a way to take that mankey and transfer it to a modded Nintendo 3ds Pokemon bank? (important info: without physical cartridges and if a Pokemon game is needed in then a digital one downloaded by the hacked, modded 3ds). And then transfering that mankey in the bank to pokemon home?
Circumstance 2: Hypothetical scenario 1: Taking the mankey on the emulated rom save file and transferring it directly to Pokemon home possibility?
First of all if Circumstance 2 is not possible then tell circumstance 1. If circumstance 1 or 2 is possible but not in the intended scenario I wrote then please explain the desired scenario for it to work.
Ps: I am a very inexperienced at modding a 3ds, transferring saves to a 3ds, Pokemon bank etc. so please provide the best detail as you can and explain it to a way you would to an idiot lol.
I am however experienced with emulating and transferring and manipulating rom save files (not with any Nintendo hardware involved.)
Thankyou very much for any help.
