Oh, wow; you mean you can transfer back AND forth? I assumed it was only 1-way. Maybe I will have to look at this again... especially for getting rid of the Ditto and Unown, and all the completed pokemon lines. cause seriously, thats a lot of pokemon. I could have room to breed again!

Yes. You can transfer back and forth, but only for Pokemon that match the Trainer ID of the D/P card that sent the critter to the ranch. E.g., you cannot unload everything from D/P to the Ranch, start a new game, then copy everything back over. However, you can transfer things that are traded at the ranch. You can get Phione, Mew, and some others at the ranch and move them over to D/P. You can also get new items at the ranch and send those over if held by a Pokemon that you move back.

You'll receive quests and such from the rancher directing you to find new Pokemon in D/P that are not currently in your Pokedex, and if you catch them and send them over, you'll get rewards. As the ranch grows, there are new parts of D/P that are unlocked, ultimately rewarding you with a Mew for your 1000th Pokemon on the ranch once you hit 999.
