Can I Transfer All My Pokémon to Scarlet and Violet?

The answer to whether you can transfer all your Pokémon to Scarlet and Violet is no, as the games only allow select Pokémon that appear in each software to be brought in, and some Pokémon are not compatible with the games. The Pokémon Home update enables the transfer of certain Pokémon from other games, but there are limitations and restrictions on which Pokémon can be transferred, and Snorlax is one example of a Pokémon that cannot be transferred.
