So how exactly does trading Pokemon between versions work? I have all of my dudes from most of my games stored in my Soul Silver game and I want to transfer them into my Black version. So what I'm hearing is that you can't directly transfer them, you have to go to a pal park kind of place? Anyone have some details? 
 
Also part of me is still sorta reluctant to transfer the guys because Soul Silver features two of the best regions in the Pokemon franchise but I do like some of the changes they did in Black and White and seeing my Pokemon animate would be cool, so I guess I'll go ahead and switch them over.

It's in the manual, yo. I'd type up what it said, but I didn't read it. Just noticed it was there.

It's bogus how you can't transfer pokemon with HM's
