Do anyone know if the legendary Gerbils will roam the Kanto region as well or just the Johto side?

If I recall, they stay on the Johto side of the map, and cannot be encountered in Kanto in Gold and Silver.

That's awesome, thanks for replying me!

Not sure if this belongs here, but I was curious about something.

I've got a ROM of Crystal Version (as well as the official cartridge) on which I found a Shiny Koffing (now Weezing). I was wondering if there is any possible way to move/copy/trade that Shiny Weezing from the ROM to Virtual Console Gold/Silver via hacking, emulation, etc. because it kind of seems a shame to leave it stuck there...

I know you can extract .pkm files from the newer games and import them into save files, but I'm not sure if that can be done with GSC ROMs or, if it can, if it could also be done with the Virtual Console versions.

Hi! My friend and I wanted to have the full Gen II experience, so we decided to each download one of the games on our 3DS and trade with each other. However, he has an American 3DS and I have a European one. Is it even possible to connect those two systems in Virtual Console?

Yup it works - as long as you are both there in person you will have no problems!

Unfortunately, Wifi trading isn't possible in these games. However, you can still do local trades with someone else near you.

Ok thank you for telling me though

Hello! This is probably a weird and very specific question, but I really need to know so I don't waste money. I only have VC Red to trade with until I can get Gold, but I will have a Kadabra soon. Is it okay to go ahead and teach him Ice/Thunder/Fire Punch? I know the moves were around in RBY, but I wasn't sure if they wouldn't register on a Kadabra, barring me from trading it. The only Pokemon that could legally learn them in Gen I were Hitmonchan and a few select others, so yeah.

If you're trading Pokémon between VC games (gen I and II) then you're fine, there are as many checks as there were in the good old days, i.e. none. But if you want to transfer the Pokémon to Gen VII, better wait for the PokéTransfer update, because from what I hear, that piece of software can be outright paranoid about moves (for instance, not allowing to transfer a Charizard that knows Fly if you're doing so from Red or Blue) .

So what your saying is you can trade any between gen 1 and 2 except for the new gen 2 pokemon? and they can have any moves?

If I traded a Pokemon holding its evolution item (i.e. a Scyther with a Metal Coat) to Gen 1 and then traded it back to Gold, will it evolve?

I don't think you can back trade, and even so, Pokemon aren't able to hold items in generation 1.

Yes. As long as the Pokémon in question remain in VC games, be it Gen I or Gen II, you can do anything you want with them. Only the restrictions from the good old days will apply: don't send back new moves or new Pokémon to Gen I. That's it.

If I recall, yes - there should be a clear point at which the data for that Eevee is generated, and with gifts it's often upon receipt of the Pokemon. According to the pages I can find, it should be available as female.
