'''Trade machine''' is an in-game device introduced in [[Generation I]] that {{player}}s can use to [[trade]] Pokémon between {{pkmn|games|game}} cartridges. | |||

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, local [[trade]]s | ===Core series=== | ||
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, local [[trade]]s are conducted inside rooms in [[Pokémon Center]]s called Cable Clubs (Japanese: '''つうしん ケーブル クラブ''' ''Communication Cable Club''), where two [[Game Link Cable|linked]] players can gather at opposite ends of a trade machine to start the trading process. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, an alternative for [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|wirelessly linked]] players, the [[Union Room]], was introduced, which involves no such machine. In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|V}}, the Union Room is used for trading instead, and local trading no longer involves an in-universe machine. They have since been conducted through in-universe applications such as the [[C-Gear]], [[Player Search System|PSS]], [[Poké Pelago]], and the [[Y-Comm]]. | |||

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a trade machine can be found and used at [[Professor Oak]]'s {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|Pokémon Stadium|laboratory}}. | |||
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a trade machine is located at the bottom floor of the [[Phenac City]] Pokémon Center and can be used to trade non-[[Shadow Pokémon]] in between the two games and the [[core series]] games once the player has completed the main game. | |||

The first trade machine was seen aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Butterfree}} for a {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{AP|Raticate}}. However, he soon came to regret the trade, and it was reversed by the end of the episode. | The first trade machine was seen aboard the [[S.S.

It was first seen being used by two Trainers to trade their {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Ledyba}}. Later, [[Jessie]] was accidentally sent flying into the machine, where {{OBP|Benny|EP146}} had already placed his {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s Poké Ball in preparation for a trade that had been cancelled at the last second. As such, when [[Jessie's Lickitung]]'s Poké Ball slipped out of her pocket and fell into the machine, it was traded for Wobbuffet behind her back, leaving her unaware of the trade until later. | ||
In ''Tricks of the Trade'', {{TRT}} used a fake trade machine as a part of their scheme to steal Pokémon by claiming their machine increased the [[level]]s of the traded Pokémon, when in fact, it simply swapped the inserted Poké Balls with empty ones. This same fake trade machine reappeared in ''[[EP191|The Dunsparce Deception]]'', where it was used as a part of similar theft scheme, with the trio claiming that they were giving out {{p|Moltres}} in exchange for the local {{p|Dunsparce}}. | |||

He offered to trade Team Rocket his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Victreebel|Weepinbell}}, and after a process of elimination, Jessie and {{MTR}} forced [[James]] to trade his beloved {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for it. | ||

Later, Ash and {{an|Dawn}} used the machine to trade their {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and {{AP|Buizel}}, since Aipom preferred [[Pokémon Contest]]s and Buizel preferred traditional [[Pokémon battle]]s. | ||
A trade machine belonging to [[Professor Juniper]] appeared in ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', where she and {{an|Bianca}} traded their {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Shelmet}}, respectively, in order to evolve them. | A trade machine belonging to [[Professor Juniper]] appeared in ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'' at [[Chargestone Cave]], where she and {{an|Bianca}} traded their {{p|Karrablast}} and {{p|Shelmet}}, respectively, in order to evolve them. | ||

He wanted Jessie to trade him her {{p|Pumpkaboo}} so that she could marry his Prince Pumpkaboo. Jessie refused at first, but eventually accepted when Count Pumpka offered her a {{p|Mawile}}, a Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. However, Jessie's Pumpkaboo ended up evolving into {{TP|Jessie|Gourgeist}} as a result of the trade, causing Prince Pumkaboo to lose interest in her. As such, the trade was reversed immediately afterwards. | ||
Yet another trade machine appeared in the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Center]] in [[JN033]], during a Pokémon Trade Event. It was first used by a Gentleman and a girl to trade their {{p|Farfetch'd}} and {{p|Spearow}}. Later, [[Goh]] used the same machine to trade his newly caught second {{p|Pinsir}} with [[Koromi]]'s {{ | Yet another trade machine appeared in the [[Vermilion City]] [[Pokémon Center]] in [[JN033]], during a Pokémon Trade Event.
