    can anyone recieve any pokemon as trade?

    I read somewhere you can only trade pokemon that are already in your pokedex, i.e ones you have already seen, is this true???

    So if you had not seen Squirrtle before you wouldnt be able to recieve him from someone?

    What about eggs-you never know what is going to come out, what if it hatched into one you have never seen before?

    Sorry if this on well stupid questions-also can you only trade once you have your national pokedex, do you get this near the end of the game?

    Thanks

    First of all, I don't think this is the right place to ask this question.
    To answer all 3 of your questions:

    1. If you are using the GTS, yes, you can only receive Pokemon you've recorded in your Pokedex, unless someone cheats you. This is because you can only ask for Pokemon you have seen. If you are trading with a friend, in the Union room or Wi-Fi room, you can receive Pokemon you have not seen.

    2. If your egg hatches into a Pokemon you have not seen, yes, that will enable you receive that Pokemon over Wi-Fi.

    3. You can trade once you obtain the normal Pokedex, which is at the beginning of the game. The National Dex allows you to see and catch Pokemon from other Regions, and that you do get at the end of the game.

    there are about three bad egg removal codes I've only had a bad egg once while trying to get an event poke I just turned it off since I saved right before I put in the code If all three codes don't work thats what you should do I don't know IF I can give links but all 3 codes can be found on Neoseeker.com

    Should it unlock Gracidea?? Because it won't

    If it says ''apparently had a fateful encounter'' it will unlock the Gracidea. If it says ''apparently met at level...'' it won't. Simple as that.

    Just a quick question that I suppose goes here?

    With the STAB, the multiplier is 1.5x. Is this directly applied to the "power" of a move?

    For example which move would do more damage from my Prinplup? Metal Claw is 50 power, whereas Aqua Jet is 40 power but should have a 1.5x bonus from STAB. Can I basically read Aqua Jet as having 60 (40*1.5) power in this situation and thus concluding it would be more powerful against a normal pokemon?
    Cheers

    Exactly what you say.
    The 1.5 is applied to the based power of the move.
    Aqua Jet will go from 40 to 60.
    Metal Claw will stay to 50.
    So, Aqua Jet should be moe powerful against normal pokemon until he evolve into Empoleon, who is water/steel.
    In his case, Metal Claw will become 75 base power.

    So, I can't connect to the internet with Diamond. I've got it all set up, even when I test the connection in the setup it works perfectly. But when I try to log in to the GTS, I get all sorts of different errors (being forced back to the counter, being told I'm logging in though nothing happens, getting into the GTS but being told there has been a communication error...). I've been on in the past via the same router, I can connect with other consoles, and I imagine I can connect with other games (though I am yet to try). Any help would be great.
