Revision as of 17:47, 19 September 2015 by Tiddlywinks(talk | contribs)(Too many asterisk notes (iffy about this handling of HGSS/Hornlette...) ; All this Beedrill text just duplicates the tables (and one ref is enough, but IDK if there's a place for it now))
It has been suggested that this article be moved to In-game trade. Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page.
The subject of this article has no official name. The name currently in use is a fan designator; see below for more information.
This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: IVs of XY Magikarp and Eevee
An in-game trade is a trade made with NPCs in the core series and spin-offPokémon games. The process uses the same trading sequence as player trades and is usually done for Pokémon that are difficult or impossible to obtain through other means, or for Pokémon unavailable at that point of the game. In later games, the traded Pokémon often has special moves, like Egg moves.
All Trainer ID numbers and IVs are random in the Generation I games. The original Trainer always uses the hardcoded text string 0x5D, which is displayed as "TRAINER" (Japanese: トレーナー Trainer) in the game's language. In Western languages, in the handheld games and Pokémon Stadium this original Trainer is displayed in ALLCAPS ("TRAINER" in English), whereas in Pokémon Stadium 2 it is displayed in title case ("Trainer" in English).
The held item column refers to the item the Pokémon will be holding if it is traded to a Generation II game. This item is different than a wild Pokémon of the same species would have if it were traded.

*: These Pokémon will evolve due to being traded, but Pokédex data for the unevolved Pokémon will be registered first.

Since the Pokémon received in an in-game trade is the same level as the one traded prior to Generation V, it is sometimes possible to receive a Pokémon at a lower level than normally possible.
Similarly, the old man who trades the player Jynx for Poliwhirl in Cerulean City claims that Poliwhirl "went and evolved". Poliwhirl does not evolve by trade in the Generation I games but rather through the use of a Water Stone. In the context of the Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away Haunter for Machoke, both of which evolve by trade.
