A new update for {{bp|Poké Transporter}} is now available which brings the game up to version 1.3.
A new update for {{bp|Poké Transporter}}, the {{bp|Nintendo 3DS}} application to send Pokémon from the {{bp|Generation V}} and {{bp|Virtual Console}} {{bp|Generation I}} games to {{bp|Pokémon Bank}}, is now available which brings the game up to version 1.3. This update is required to use the application.


While the patch notes are vague and non-specific, fans have discovered some of the changes. This update does not provide support for the {{bp|Generation II}} {{bp|Virtual Console}} games ({{game|Gold and Silver|s}} will be released on {{bp|Nintendo 3DS|3DS}} Virtual Console on September 22), but it does update the way it converts Pokémon from Generation I so that they are not inconsistent with how they would be in Generation II.

Specifically, this update makes a Pokémon's {{bp|gender}} when transported be based on its {{bp|IV}}s (in Generation I) rather than random. It also correctly implements the method for determining whether a Pokémon is Shiny based on its IVs in Generation I; prior to this update, the roles of {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} were reversed (resulting in the same odds). These changes mean that Pokémon traded to Generation II will have the same gender and Shiny status as when they are transported to {{bp|Pokémon Bank}}.
