'Pokémon Go' cheats details: Pokémon is transferred to Professor Willow - what happens?

"Pokémon Go" has taken the world by storm even if the game is currently available in select countries only. The concept is new, what with players needing to step outside the comfort of their homes and use their gadget's global positioning system (GPS) in order to search for Pokemon.

However, while players of the game are abuzz with excitement, not all understand how to navigate through it. "Pokémon Go" actually has too many hidden elements, and to a less-discerning player, these may seem very complicated. One of the quandaries players experience has something to do with "transfers," specifically transfers to Professor Willow.

One gamer posed a question concerning transfers on the Stack Exchange forum, and several answers were provided as to why a play should transfer a Pokemon to the Professor. One answer said transfers are a good way to free up room for the Pokemon since the storage space is limited. Moreover, transfers allow a player to earn candies that may be used to increase the Combat Power (CP) of the Pokemon.

The premise of "Pokémon Go" is different from regular "Pokémon" games because the object is to collect multiple Pokemon, and whittling the number down to the Pokemon a player would focus on in the end. Transferring a Pokemon to Professor Willow would mean more candies a player can use to power up or evolve the Pokemon.

Nevertheless, in "Pokémon Go," a transferred Pokemon remains in the possession of Professor Willow permanently. In addition, candies are specific to each type of character. For instance, getting more candies for Pikachu would mean transferring a bunch of Pikachus to the Professor. Hence, players are advised plan carefully when doing transfers, lest they transfer a powerful or rare Pokemon without meaning to.

Players should also be cautious when doing transfers, keeping in mind that Pokemon with high CPs, at least three digits or higher, are more valuable than those with lower CPs (anything lower than 100). So it would be more prudent to exchange those with lower CPs first.
