Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair, making it required that a person trade with others in order to complete their [[Pokédex]]. The Game Link Cable also makes possible battles with another player, allowing one to pit their Pokémon against new challenges. The Japanese versions can trade and battle with Japanese versions of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Red, Green,}} {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}} and Yellow; the Western versions can trade and battle with Western versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue,}} and Yellow. It can also trade with {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Pokémon Yellow is completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward. | Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]].

Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible in this generation; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game. The latter will always result in corruption if attempted. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since there is not enough room on either cartridge for all of the text, namely kana and the Latin alphabet (a feature that [[Generation III|later became possible]]). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed. | Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible in this generation; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game.
