Trading throughout versio
 
Can Diamond/Pearl trade throughout older versions?
  • Can I trade from LeafGreen?
  • Can I trade from Sapphire?
  • Can I trade from Red or Yellow?
If so, which system would I use?
  • My DS, with a GBA slot.
  • My Game Boy Advance SP
  • My Game Boy Advance (regular)
Like can I raise a bulbasaur, charmander and a squirtle through LeafGreen and trade it to Diamond/Pearl easily so that I can have my favorite pokemon (the original starters)?

dudeman5 March 29th, 2007 1:23 PM

well, i like my DS and if u wanna play ur diamond/pearl without switching, yeah, use the DS. And for the trading, the pal park thing takes care of that, but u cant trade daimond/pearl to ruby/sapphire/the rest (i think...)

Virtual Headache March 29th, 2007 1:40 PM

dudeman5, is correct.
You can transfer (not trade) Pokemon from R/S/E/FR/LG to D/P, but the R/S/E/FR/LG cartridge needs to be of the same region your DS game is.

Simply put your GBA game in the GBA slot and your D/P game in the DS game slot. Once you've reached a certain point at the game, you'll be brought to a screen where you can select which Pokémon to transfer.

You also need the GBA games for certain Pokémon to show uo in D/P.

wakachamo March 29th, 2007 1:47 PM

^That certain point is called the Pal Park, like dudeman said in the beginning. This is kinda of like Safari but heavily modified. It allows you to take off 6 Pokémon from your GBA cartridge a day, and then catch them back again on Diamond/Pearl with a special type of ball (exclusively available to the Pal Park) that never fails.

You should be able to upload pokemon via pal park for all the gba pokemon games but not the gb or gbc generations.

Also I hope u don't mind me asking but if you upload a pokemon on to D/P will it still be holding the item given to it on the other game?

I am aware of that. I meant at a certain point in the game's story, after you've obtained the national dex.

Yes, it will be exactly the same as on your GBA game.

Why?
I you've got a problem with the region of your GBA game and your DS game, just wait 'til the DS game for your region is released.

If it's legit, yes you can. If you cheated to get it (which I get an odd feeling about for some reason...), then probably NOT.

I seriosly doubt that nintendo would go through the trouble to prevent that. The only game I know the works like that is colleseum and XD. But I'm no expert. :\

~NeonFire~ March 30th, 2007 5:19 AM

That's interesting. Must I be to a certain point in FR/LG too? Does anyone know how far in the game this place is in D/P?

Uh... DS and GBA games are not region-restricted, so you can still get a European Combusken on your US Diamond/Pearl.

Evan March 30th, 2007 7:58 AM

Upload From GBA Games Feature.
 
I Am Looking Forward To This ALOT But Is It A DS Lite ONLY Feature?

No, it also works with normal DS, why should it only work with Lite?

Ho-oh arabia March 30th, 2007 3:57 PM

I can? Awesome! I Will Rule the Wi-fi Battle arena! but wait, my friend gave it to me via action replay. Does this mean the transfer wo't go through? OH NO!

I don't know why people are saying that. There is no reason nintendo would do that. They wouldn't go to the trouble of stopping a few hacked pokemon. And if your friend used the action replay to get to navel rock and catch Ho-oh there that it's is the actual Ho-oh and would have no difference in data.

Ho-oh arabia March 30th, 2007 4:11 PM

He actually used a wild pokemon modifyer. I hope your right. this makes me 1 step closer to my ultimate pokemon team.
thanx
ho-oh

OK, let me clear stuff up on this, since it's been confusing for a while on both the gaming and Pokémon fandom.

Handheld games are not region-restricted. You can get a European DS, and import Diamond.

However, complications arise on wireless connections specifically.

If a game is DS Download Play-compatible, then it will work on any region's Nintendo DS. However, if the game utilizes Multi-card play (such as Diamond, of course), then you can not play cross-region. What I mean by this is that for example, you have an American Pokémon Diamond, and your friend has the European version. You two cannot trade or battle locally, wirelessly. This doesn't have to do with the DS at all, it has to do with the game's wireless encoding itself.

However, much to everyone's surprise, if you buy an American Diamond and play Wi-Fi in Europe, that'll work.

Hope I managed to clear stuff up about that. =P

Ninja Monkey March 30th, 2007 5:43 PM

Here's my question about the pal park... if you transfer a Kadabra from LG over to Diamond/Pearl with the pal park, will it evolve to an Alakazam, or is that reserved for trades between Diamond and Pearl?

wakachamo March 30th, 2007 6:10 PM

^I think it will most likely not evolve, because the transferring of the Pal Park is not considered a trade.

Ash&pikachuarethebest March 31st, 2007 4:53 AM

This Pal Park sounds good if you transfer your pokemon over to dimond and pearl will you still have it on your fire red game?

Because they probably would. There's already coding in the games that prevents you from using an illegally-caught Legendary (talking about one from a Wild Pokemon Modifier here), so it's a pretty good bet that they would include something similar in thee Pal Park coding.

And you don't seem to understand the depth of the problem. "A few hacked pokemon"?? Try a few hundred. At least.

I have a Mew a friend Action Replay'd, and it won't trade between my GBA games.

The Dash March 31st, 2007 9:04 AM

I hope they don't let use use hacked/cheated Pokémon, it would be exceedingly unfair.

ss5vegeta March 31st, 2007 9:49 AM

In have a copy off Ruby, Fire Red and LG. I bought in shop and a sapphire which i bought from a shop but i think its american, and an american emerald.

Will I be able to trade between an american diamond and english paerl though all these games?

All cartrades a region free so i should be able to do this and they are both in the same language, and if i cant i need proof.

The only Pokemon I hack are event legendaries, only because there's no other way to get them, and I don't use any of them in battle. All of my battle teams are perfectly legitimate. I was just saying that it was said that hacked Pokemon can be transferred, but I have a hacked Mew that I cannot trade between my GBA games.

The Dash March 31st, 2007 12:02 PM

Actually.. Trading them would be ok, just some form of security should be implemented to stop them battling over WiFi.

Yea for FR/LG and I'm not sure for Diamond and Pearl yet

how would you be able to tell if the Pokemon were hacked or cheated by someone, its kind of hard, but yea it won't be fair
