trade question
 
Now the last version of pokemon i have played was gold/silver, since then i do not own any of the games anymore. I am planning on buyin a ds and getting pearl. My question is i have read that you can only trade for pokemon that you have encountered in game before you can recieve them so my question is a) is this true? and b) if it is how do i get around to gaining pokemon that i cannot encounter in game for example groudon? if i dont encounter him how will i be able to trade for him? thanks

Ok, first things first.

1) That rule only applies for trades and the GTS. For trading other people, you don't need to see them first. there are many Pokémon you can ONLY get by migrating them from the GBA games.

2) This thread shouldn't be here. This goes in the Diamond and Pearl Section *reports post so that it can be moved*

Yes. GTS stands for Global Trade Station. It's a wireless trading station for anyone with pokemon Diamond/Pearl and a wireless router. The GTS works kind of like a wishlist. You choose the pokemon from a list of pokemon that you have encountered in-game (along with it's level and gender). HOWEVER, this only applies to the GTS. If you are trading via Wi-Fi and your Pal Pad (a little key-item that keeps track of your wireless friends and people you can trade with), you can get any pokemon you'd like. Does that clear things up for you? If not, feel free to PM me for more information.
