Talk:Trade: Difference between revisions

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 [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|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. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">T</span>]][[wp:Echidna|<span style="color:#FF0000;">E</span><span style="color:#0000FF;">chidna</span>]]''' 17:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

:::Make sure that you take down their ID number and OT name.

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

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 [[User:Porygon-Z|Porygon-Z]] does not agree, it should be discussed. --[[User:Pokeresp|Pokeresp]] 23:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

:It's a while since I tried this but IIRC the pokemon can be traded and will show up with question marks in place of the pokemon number. [[User:Plugwash|Plugwash]]

There isn't anything on it in this article... only the fact that GenI/II corrupts your game with international Pokémon and that global trading was added in IV. But there isn't anything for III. I know for a fact that Japanese games can trade with English ones (Only the first five letters in English names are read on the JP version- ie: "HORSEA" becomes "HORSE" while Japanese names are fully recognizable on the English game), but I'm not sure about other languages... I'd add it to the article myself but not knowing about other languages kinda held me back there.

:I'm wondering if after seeing this, I should've started the discussion in the Gen III article...

:The article says that Pokémon traded from different regions will not retain their names in the versions they were traded to. This is partially correct, being it so in the case of trading a Pokémon from a non-Japanese version to a Japanese version. However, the opposite isn't true and trading the Pokémon back again to its original version will retain its original name. For example, trading a Squirtle to a JP version from an US/UK version will make the JP version show its name as SQUIR. If you check the Squirtle, now owned by the Trainer of the JP version, on your US/UK version or even if you trade it back to your game, you'll see that its name is still SQUIRTLE. But I have to look this subject more thoroughly, to check what happens with the names when the Pokémon evolves and you trade it back to its OT or when it's checked by another game other than the two involved in the trade.

::BTW, what happens when linking handheld and console games of different regions? Can someone try it out, please? I don't have any console games so can't say anything on the matter. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 21:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't know about you, but when I traded un-nicknamed Pokémon between my Japanese HeartGold and my German other Generation-IV-games, I still got a Squirtle with its German name in my Japanese game and several Pikachu in my German game named ピカチュー. This article, however, says this issue was fixed in Generation IV? [[User:Eevee-Girl|Eevee-Girl]] 19:28, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

The Colosseum one I need to go back and check again but in XD Gale of Darkness you simply need to save Phenac Town to trade to the GBA, you don't have to beat Greevil. [[User:ShinyGlaceon|ShinyGlaceon]] 00:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:Also at least for fire red and leaf green you have to meet certain requirements on the gameboy side to trade with colloseum and XD, i'm not sure if these are the same requirements as for trading with ruby/sapphire. I think ruby and sapphire can trade with colloseum and XD regardless of what stage they are at. I have no idea about emerald. [[User:Plugwash|Plugwash]] 20:35, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

I've got something i'd like to have tested out. Just say, for example, someone was trading an Infernape and a Weavile in the top floor of the Pokémon Center. Just a normal trade. And just say, once they left the room, the Weavile's trainer saved the game and turned it off, but the other person, the Infernape's trainer, turned it off WITHOUT saving. Would the Infernape appear on BOTH games, or would it just screw something up? Thanks!--[[User:Evilpichulady|Evilpichulady]] 20:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)Evilpichulady

I thought it made you save right BEFORE the trade... meh. [[User:Evilpichulady|Evilpichulady]] 22:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)Evilpichulady

:I believe it does both. It saves before you enter the union room, and then it saves to complete the trade. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 02:11, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

::Something similar happened to me one time when I was trading with my brother between Generation I or II games and one of the Game Boys' battery ran dead during the trading process. So it ''is'' possible, but this situation was ''very'' hard to recreate, and it was practically not doable from later generations on IIRC. This was on European English editions sold in the Netherlands, to be exact. --[[User:Spenvdm|Spenvdm]] 23:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

The wiki says the following in the trivia (added in the revision as of 03:25, 5 September 2009):

This is really confusing. I might want to edit it a lil bit. "[[Arceus (Pokémon)|☆]][[User:AngelGuardian|<span style="color: #6890F0;">Angel</span>]][[User talk:AngelGuardian|<span style="color: #C0C0C0;">Guardian</span>]][[Arceus: To A Conquering Space-Time|☆]]" 11:30, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Almost every time I make a trade over WiFi, when me and someone else are about to connect to the trade screen, it'll say "Player contacted you" or something like that, stay on that screen a bit, and say "Player failed to respond" with the whole trade being cancelled. This happens ALOT and RARELY do I manage to trade without that happening. I've traded with atleast 2 others over WiFi with one of them saying he's experienced this on his game alot as well. Does this seem like a glitch at all similar to the Platinum GTS glitch in early copies of the game? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 19:43, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I recently tried to trade between two Generation V games during the elite four (that is to say, I'd defeated one elite four member and used an IR trade).  

The strange thing is IT WORKED. I can't imagine this is intended (you could trade your Pokémon, heal them and trade them back etc.). Are there any other places/times

I have a question can post this in the trivia that Generation V is the only Generation since Gen l that a new pokemon is introduced that evolves through trade without holding an item? [[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 20:24, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

If, for example, I traded a Kadabra to my sister, would she get both Kadabra and Alakazam's entry in the Pokédex, or would she get only Alakazam's? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:51, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

:She would get Kadabra's too, because a Kadabra was briefly in her possession.

In Generation V, is it possible to receive National Dex Pokémon before getting the National Dex? For instance, if I migrated some non-Unova Pokémon to Black, could I trade them to a Black 2 game that doesn't have the National Dex? I know this is possible in Gen IV, but the article doesn't whether it's possible for Gen V. [[User:RS89|RS89]] ([[User talk:RS89|talk]]) 23:21, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

:I remembered watching a playthrough on YouTube where the user imported a pre-GenV Pokémon to his Pokémon White game before challenging the Elite Four. So it could be possible, but the dex data won't be obtained for that particular Pokémon until the National Dex is obtained. Doesn't hurt to try, though, to make sure.
