The '''Time Capsule''' (Japanese: '''タイムカプセル''' ''Time Capsule'') is a mechanic in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that allows {{player}}s to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. It is not present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. | The '''Time Capsule''' (Japanese: '''タイムカプセル''' ''Time Capsule'') is a mechanic in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that allows {{player}}s to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (Japanese and Western versions)=== | |||
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each [[Pokémon Center]]. However, it will be under repair and unavailable until the {{player}} has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 hours in the game's internal clock before being able to use the Time Capsule. | |||
After this point, it is possible to [[trade]] with the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games; however, there are still some restrictions: | After this point, it is possible to [[trade]] with the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games; however, there are still some restrictions: | ||

The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from entering can be bypassed with the [[Time Capsule exploit]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know {{cat|Generation I moves}}. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become [[glitch Pokémon]]. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I ({{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Graveler}}), if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after [[Evolution|evolving]], but can be traded back to Generation I immediately after. This gives access to [[glitch moves]] in the Generation I game. | The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from entering can be bypassed with the [[Time Capsule exploit]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know {{cat|Generation I moves}}.

Although no Generation I games were released in South Korea, the Time Capsule is still present in the Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. The Time Capsule is officially unsupported, but it is enabled by linking with a [[Generation I]] game using the regular trading room of the [[Generation II]] games. The attempt to trade will be cancelled and [[Bill]] will appear as soon as the player attempts to leave the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. | |||
After unlocking it, the player can use Time Capsule with Western versions of the Generation I games. However, like when trading between Korean and Western Generation II games, because the Western games do not support [[Character encoding in Generation II/Korean|Korean characters]], Pokémon names and Original Trainers will not display properly in the Western games; if a Korean character corresponds to a control character in the Western games, this can have other unexpected effects. | After unlocking it, the player can use Time Capsule with Western versions of the Generation I games.

===Comparison with other games=== | |||
The Time Capsule is the only facility which allows direct inter-generational trades. Starting with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} in [[Generation III]], this is no longer possible in the games, although it is possible to migrate Pokémon forward a generation through use of [[Pal Park]] (from Generation III to [[Generation IV]]), the [[Poké Transfer]] (from Generation IV to [[Generation V]]) and the [[Poké Transporter]] (from Generation V to [[Generation VI]]). Pokémon can no longer be "sent back in time", i.e., they can no longer be directly traded back to a previous generation game. | |||
