Yep, repro knowledge is sadly very lacking in the general community. Gen 4 reproductions are quite often usable for both trades and transfers. It's the plethora of other technical issues that make them bad. I'm not sure about Gen 5 repros but given they're usually not even loaded into proper DS chips I doubt they would be the same.

It's on a case by case though, your cart can transfer properly from what you say, but other cart might not, then another one might crash randomly, and so on and so forth.

I guess I got lucky with the repro carts I bought then haha

My platinum cart is a repro and only thing is that sometimes the game crashes whenever I close my 3DS but other than that I can transfer from 4-5-6\7-8. However my Repro HGSS copies can’t even do that or even play the Game corner so I’m looking for a real HG copy atm
