It sure does!! Thanks for the great info. So as far as I am understanding, the national dex contains all Pokemon ever across all generations, but you have to trade and such (and probably get special event Pokemon) in order to actually find all the Pokemon?
So , in older games when you get the national dex will it not include Pokemon for generations that were created after that game's release? Or are the games updated somehow to include them all?
Sorry I'm just trying to wrap my head around it all. My brain has to over analyze everything lol
Don't worry, I'm the same way :p
Completely correct in the first paragraph. As to your second paragraph, no, unfortunately there is no backward compatibility. You are able to transfer Pokemon forwards, in Generations, say a Braviary from Black or White (Generation V (5)) to X or Y (Generation VI (6)), but you wouldn't be able to trade a Fennekin backwards from X/Y (Gen VI) to Black/White (Gen V), as there is no data for it. You cannot even trade an Oshawott backwards, should you get one, in order to prevent any glitches.
