== Trading between games ==
Is it possible to trade between generations?  I have Blue and I have FireRed.  I also have 2 gameboy advances.  I tried to connect them but it didn't work.  Possible problem 1 - they are different generations.  Possible problem 2 - Blue can only trade from a Gameboy not a Gameboy Advance.  If I had another Red/Yellow/Blue I could test between two GBAs, but I don't, so I thought I'd ask. [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 01:51, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
:Between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]]?  Yes, but you can't trade a Pokémon introduced in Generation II (ex. {{p|Chikorita}}) or a Pokémon with a move introduced in Generation II (ex. {{p|Oddish}} with {{m|Sweet Scent}}).  There is one restriction:  they must be of the same language.  Before [[Generation III]], trying to trade between languages would more than likely corrupt your game and erase your data.  Nintendo even put a warning in the instruction booklets about this.  This only applies for the game paks themselves--for example, you could trade between two North American English-language copies using a Japanese [[Game Boy]] Light and a European [[Game Boy Advance SP]] using a South American Game Boy Pocket [[link cable]].
:Between the first two generations and Generation III?  Sadly, no.  You can't connect a game designed for the original black-and-white Game Boy or the [[Game Boy Color]] and a game designed for the [[Game Boy Advance]] due to hardware issues.  In addition, Pokémon are coded differently between Generation II and Generation III--for example, IVs are between 0 and 15 in Generation II but between 0 and 31 in Generation III, stat experience now caps at 255 points per stat and 510 points overall in Generation III as opposed to 255 points per stat and no overall cap in Generation II, and other issues.
:Trading in Generation I and Generation II works on all compatible hardware with link ports.  This means any combination of original black-and-white Game Boy (including Pocket), Game Boy Color, [[wp:Super Game Boy#Super Game Boy 2|Super Game Boy 2]], Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, and [[wp:Game Boy Player|Game Boy Player]] will work, just as long as you use the link cables compatible with the Generation I and Generation II games.  --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
::I & II are compatable, but III is different.  What about III and IV? [[User:Harvestdancer|Harvestdancer]] 20:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
:::See [[Pal Park]] and the [[dongle method]]. Gen III can transfer Pokémon ahead, however, it isn't quite trading. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">TTE</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#0000FF">chidna</span>]]''' 23:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

== trading between other languages ==
I know it's possible to trade between other languages of the game in genIV (except the Korean games), but what about the past generations?[[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 00:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
:I've heard ''rumors'' that for example in Gen I a cross-language trading may cause the deletion of both games' savefiles, but it sounds quite odd to me, so my assumption is that the Pokémon themselves are transferred to the other game nicely but their nicknames may be bunches of glitchy symbols. <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 00:49, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

:As far as Generation III goes, I know for a fact trading between languages is acceptable. However, I did manage to lock up my (Japanese) LeafGreen when I traded an Onix holding a Metal Coat from it to US Sapphire. Obviously both games had to be restarted, and LeafGreen's save data was corrupted in a strange way that caused the game to lock up whenever the Pokemon Menu was opened. Sapphire, on the other hand, was perfectly fine.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 06:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
== Trading eggs in Gen. IV ==
I know it's impossible over the GTS, but is it possible to trade eggs over regular Wi-Fi connections? And what shows up in the Trainer's Memo section? {{unsigned|Dark Boye}}

== Mystery Dungeon? ==
Can you trade in Mystery Dungeon games? Because if you can't how do you evolve Graveler and Pokemon like that. Or do you have to actually get an item called Link Cable, because in Serebii says it needs one--[[User:Wowy|Wowy]] 07:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:MD's different from the main series, man. It should be on their pages or the MD page, because there's no trades. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 10:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
== My Pokémon Emerald is a ROM, so... ==
I don't have a GBA and/or a Nintendo DS; I play Pokémon Emerald from a ROM downloaded off of {{WP|BitComet}}.
Many others have too, I'm sure.
Is there perhaps a special service website meant for ROM users that lets us trade our Pokémon from one computer/ROM Pokémon game to another?
Or for those who play on ROMs, are we completely, totally, and <u>'''utterly'''</u> SOL on Trading? --[[User:Tanaka Shimoya|Tanaka Shimoya]] 22:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

== No Gym Badges ==
So, the maximum level that a traded Pokémon will fully obey you at increases for every Gym Badge that you get.  But what if you have no Gym Badges?  Will they obey you up to a certain level, or just not at all?--[[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 18:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 19:15, 3 April 2009

Hey, since the Pokémon egg page lists eggs that are given to you in game, would it be cool if I listed in-game trades? I'll try and get started Manga-in-a-bottle 09:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Go for it. List the nicknames, too, and gender if it doesn't change depending on that of the player's. Like Charap the Chatot, both my friend and I got it as a female, so I think it may be set. And the OT/ID number it has, as well, since that's most definitely set. --TTEchidna 17:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I support this fully. In fact, I wanted to do it at some point, but couldn't remember enough of the in-game trades to even start the list... ^^o --Pie ~ 19:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh man, I like this idea. I can play through the Japanese Blue version to get the trades exclusive to that game as well if you'd like. ... I'll do it anyway :D MK 15:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Make sure that you take down their ID number and OT name. I think it'd be an internally stored piece of data, even in Gen I. --TTEchidna 17:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Nicknames and Original Trainers

Can they please be added for all the Pokémon received in trades? Zurqoxn 19:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The Evolution Error

Which Gen I in-game trade made the famous "Your Pokémon went and evolved!" error? I'll add it to the article as trivia --Manga-in-a-bottle 12:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

It's Raichu for Electrode. --Shiny NoctowlTalk | ContribsFile:Ani164MS.gif 12:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Um, your edit seems to have buggered up and I don't know how to fix it...Manga-in-a-bottle 12:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it incomplete?

IMHO, the article is incomplete. There are many things to be added: info about the in-game requirements to trade (especially between generations), about the Mobile System in the Japanese Crystal version, info about the in-game trades, short info about OTs and IDs (and the links to corresponding articles) and so on. Since Porygon-Z does not agree, it should be discussed. --Pokeresp 23:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I 100% aggree with you. All that information is needed, especially the requirements to trade. I can't see any reason why this valuable information shouldn't be on the page.--Cjhard 08:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

you could also include that pokemon at certain levels wont obey you until you have a badge.--Darkcloud1111
