    Yeah. The Pokemon don’t get digitised and stored in a buffer, their ID transferred to Bill’s disks.

    Bill just has an old PC case filled with occupied Pokeballs and a Chansey labelling them, ready to tube some back.

      That’s right. Pay no attention to the duplication glitch that occurs if you disconnect your Gameboys after trading one way.

      It’s definitely not restoring your totally unique and definitely not artificially reconstructed friend from a read only snapshot due to a glitch in Bill’s transfer code.
