    Can you help me? Can FR/LG trade to Emerald? *New Question*

    I've never tried but I want to trade over some of my Pokemon from FR to Emerald. I've already completed my R/S machine and everything in FR, I was just wondering if Emerald will accept it? What will I have to do?

    This is a new save Emerald. I just started it.

    Cuz I want to use a Butterfree and I need an Abra.

    New question:

    What will happen if I trade a FR Pokemon (I.E. Caterpie)
    to Sapphire, and then try to trade it from Sapphire to Emerald?

    You can only trade like that after you get the National Dex on Emearld, and only after you pass the whole Crystal Orb thing, which you've already done.

    Crap...

    Well, thanks! You answered my question even though I don't like that answer. XD

    I'll think of something. I picked Treecko as my starter so I can have False Swipe later at least...

    Wait, I have a new question:

    Cuz I trade a lot from FR and Sapphire.
    Wouldn't that break the boundary or will it just say "This Pokemon cannot be transferred"?
     
    Well, you have to obtain the National Dex in Sapphire for that to work also, but after you do, you will be open to that akward trade sequence. :D
    You can't even obtain the National Dex on Sapphire without trading. Once you trade a FR/LG Pokemon, lets say, Caterpie, to Sapphire, Sapphire's PokeDex will automatically convert to National mode. It's only going to list the Pokemon from the one with the lowest number you've seen to the one with the highest number you've seen (PokeDex No., I mean.)
     
    Well, I traded FR/LG Pokemon to my Sapphire and tried to trade it over, but it says it can't be traded so the trade cancels.

    However I found a way around this in a FAQ:
    Question: WHAT DOES POKEMON COLOSSEUM HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

    Answer: Colosseum has no trading restrictions. Once a Colosseum file has
    cleared Story Mode, that file can trade with Emerald. Under normal
    circumstances, Emerald could only trade with Ruby, Sapphire, and
    Emerald until the Emerald player entered the Hall of Fame and
    received the National Pokedex. Let's say you have a Furret in
    LeafGreen you want to raise in Emerald. You have no Badges in
    Emerald, so you can't trade directly between Emerald and LeafGreen.
    But wait! If you trade Furret into Colosseum from LeafGreen, you will
    be able to put it into Emerald, as long as it comes directly from
    Colosseum!

    How cool is that?


    Good thing I dragged out my GCN earlier for this. Now I can use Colosseum to get that Butterfree and Diglett onto Emerald! =P
     
    No it won't. Because Emerald's part of the Advanced Generation series along with R/S.

    And if you finish Sapphire there shouldn't be problems.
     
    Actually it does work. I have done it. I was going to post how to do it, but DDD found out on his own before I could. RS also doesn't have a trade restriction. You can trade in Pokemon the moment you are able to trade.
     
    Yes, but did you get the ruby and the sapphire in FR/LG?

    Reading the original post, we can see that he has.
