Talk:Time Capsule

Dongle

Is Dongle method an appropriate link? It's Pal Park, not Time Capsule, which requires it. posted by Flicky1991File:Ani003MS.gif 13:36, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Moves

Is it possible to trade Pokemon from G/S/C to R/B who have learned moves in G/S/C that are available in Generation I but are unable to learn them in R/B? For example, if a Starmie learned Confuse Ray in Gold, would I be able to trade it back to Red although it can't learn Confuse Ray in Red?

Yes, any move that exists in Generation I can be traded back from Generation II to Generation I, just as long as it's on a Generation I Pokémon and that Pokémon doesn't know any Generation II moves.

The Time Capsule only checks for Generation II Pokémon, and then Generation II moves. If your party has none of that, you can enter the Time Capsule, even if the only method for a Pokémon to learn a Generation I-origin move is in Generation II (i.e. elemental punches on Alakazam). --Shiningpikablu252 22:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I recall someone back in the day with a Level 5 Bulbasaur with Petal Dance, which he bred on G/S/C and traded back to R/B/Y. --JDigital 07:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that would work as Petal Dance is a Generation I move, although Bulbasaur can only learn it in Generation II. — THE TROM — 07:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

What about apricorn balls

What happens if you trade a pokemon in one of the apricorn balls to the generation I games? Would they just change into regular pokeballs?
