    No. You will need to trade them to get them. Doing the other way is extremely lazy and uncalled for.

    While we're on that topic, will trading be fully functional between vanilla RSE/FRLG and Platinum GBA? Obviously the Sinnoh Pokemon cannot be traded, but hopefully the previous generations' Pokemon will be able to trade.

    No. You can only trade with PR/PB. You use the Pal Park on the gen 3 games.

    I'm afraid don't see how letting the player use Steelix or Golem without downloading VBA-Link constitutes laziness on the hacker's part. I know you want to stay true to the originals but this is widely agreed to be one of their weaker points, and it's exacerbated for people playing on flashcarts or emulators. (You also don't have to remove the trade evolution mechanic to add an alternative..)

    I can understand having trading, but why not have in game trades for most of the trade evo pokemon aside from Steelix (Iron Island anyone). That seems like it would be easier than adding more evo alternatives.

    Re-read what you just wrote. "iOS device running iOS 7 or later"
    Plenty of people don't have iOS 7, whether it's because they personally don't like it, or they can't upgrade to iOS 7. (my friends who own iPod 4th gens come to mind) It's rather unfair to expect people to upgrade their devices just to get multiplayer support for this hack.
    @Gogo: On the topic of trading, I agree with Doesnt. Why make things difficult for the player? Trading evolutions work for the original games, since people tend to play them on real consoles, but in this case, 99% of your fanbase is probably going to play this on a flashcart or an emulator. You might want to take that into consideration. I know you want this to be a 100% accurate demake, but I don't see the point in forcing everyone to use VBA-Link.

    yes, I would like to see something like trade stone in this demake, because it's hard to trade pokemons on smartphones for example android, windows phone... regards!

    Yeah, a bunch of people don't have them...I was just saying you could use something other than VBA-link.

    I guess you could technically find someone who has an iOS 7/ iOS 8 device and put your save file on theirs to trade to someone else's... Man, trading is extremely weird in the world of emulation.

    I guess I just don't really care as long as everybody would be able to do something to get those trade-only Pokémon. Maybe have a few in-game trades?

    That also works on MyBoy Emulator(for Android) and probably a few others, including the already called.
    Still thinking that there is no need for such restriction.

    I know trading is kinda rough, but for now I will leave everything as it is since you don't get those pokemon early on in the alpha. I may have to get those Jubilife folk to give up their scripts and do trading :P

    In-game trades is better than a
    "trayd ston"
    First off I don't have any more item space and I want to keep it that way
    also idk why a natural stone would be called that lol

    Yeah, I see your point. I was just giving an example, but in-game trades aren't really fun, because you must obtain a certain pokémon and then you get another one with a lame nickname, which you can't change lel. and even then you must train that pokémon with its base hapiness, when I could just train it from the moment I catch it. (the reason I never trained Jynx, Mr. Mime or Farfetch'd in FR...)

    Oh, but you can just do it how you want, you're the creator of the hack after all :P

    So Rotom will have its Multi-Form factor, right? Or should I assume differently, seeing as that was an event? Either way, this game will still be a great one!

    It already has it
    It's just that you need the event gift to get the secret key
