Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions. For example, because {{p|Meowth}} cannot be found in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}}, the player must trade with someone who has obtained one from Blue, in which Meowth is readily found in the wild. {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Some Pokémon}} only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded. | Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions.

A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of Gym Badges. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to 70 when it is traded from one game to another. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname. | A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of Gym Badges.

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge. | Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]].

Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}. The [[Time Capsule exploit]] can be used to trick the game into trading {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} back to [[Generation I]] as well, but they will become [[glitch Pokémon]] like [[MissingNo.]] | Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature.

Trading between Japanese and non-Japanese games is not recommended in Generations I and II, mostly due to the different memory locations within the RAM. While possible, these trades will result in the corruption of both save files, forcing both players to restart their games from the beginning.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref> Trading between games released outside of Japan, such as between a Spanish {{game|Crystal}} and a French {{game|Yellow}}, does not result in any corruption. | Trading between Japanese and non-Japanese games is not recommended in Generations I and II, mostly due to the different memory locations within the RAM.

Trading became possible between all versions of the games in [[Generation III]], where the English language text was programmed in even the Japanese games. Due to the relatively low chance of English and other language games coming into contact with Japanese games, however, precautions were not taken in the Japanese games to preserve a Pokémon or Trainer's name when traded in, as their maximum lengths are different. While games released outside Japan will display a Pokémon's OT and nickname fully, Japanese games will only display the first five letters. | Trading became possible between all versions of the games in [[Generation III]], where the English language text was programmed in even the Japanese games.

The trade machine used in the anime has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory in both {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades.
