Talk:Trade

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 Noctowl^{Talk | Contribs}File: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

Gen III trading

I have a question that is not adressed in this article: If say FireRed or LeafGreen goes far enough to trade with Ruby\Sapphire\Emerald gets a new Generation III Pokémon (i.e. Mudkip) and recieves one, Can the Mudkip then be traded to a FireRed or LeafGreen that has not yet gotten the national dex? If not what kinda mechanism stops this from happening? -- D558 18:02, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
