Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature.

Using [[Pal Park]], players can transfer Pokémon from their Generation III games to [[Generation IV]] games; however, Pokémon cannot be returned from Generation IV to Generation III. Additionally, Pokémon sent through Pal Park cannot know any Generation III [[HM]] moves. Similarly, using the [[Poké Transfer Lab]], transfer is possible from Generation IV to [[Generation V]], although as well as the limitation on HM moves, the Pokémon must not be holding any items. It is also possible to use a method called the [[Relocator]] to transfer specific event Pokémon before reaching the Poké Transfer Lab, although the same restrictions apply. Trading from Generation V to [[Generation VI]] is done via the [[Poké Transporter]] services from the [[Pokémon Bank]]. | Using [[Pal Park]], players can transfer Pokémon from their Generation III games to [[Generation IV]] games; however, Pokémon cannot be returned from Generation IV to Generation III.

Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Only a few trades have been shown taking place, and only six of them thus far have been truly significant, often taking place in episodes featuring the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Fans have often speculated about the reason for this. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other. | Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
