I know that you could add Pokemon to the Altering Cave in FireRed/LeafGreen, but only the Japanese versions would work for that for some reason.Benefits including: having more trainers to battle or even more Pokemon to catch(Fr, Lg, Em exclusive).
In other words the compatibility of e-Reader for non-Japanese versions, exists for Ruby and Sapphire only. :(Bulbapedia said:Though it was popular in Japan, with e-Cards released until the end of the Game Boy Advance's lifespan, the e-Reader proved to be unpopular in North America, leading to its discontinuation in 2004.[S-HIGHLIGHT] e-Reader functionality, included in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, was removed from the English and other translations[/S-HIGHLIGHT], as the compatible cards were never planned to be released.
OMG OMG, I am the Biggest E-reader fan EVER, I have all the Cards for the American sides and almost all the Japanese Cards, the E-reader is amazing and I wish it came out in the UK and they made more Cards! :D
Would an English e-Reader card like this work on a Japanese game? Also, is my English e-Reader even compatible with the Japanese games?Try E-bay and as it's Japanese put "Shuckle e" as the E-reader in Japan is has e on the end of their Cards

So where would I go about obtaining the cards to activate Pokemon in the Altering Cave of FireRed/LeafGreen (J)?Nope, You can not Cross with Japanese Games, And that Shuckle Card does not go with a R/S Game it's a Stand alone Card.
Btw You can use American Cards on a European Game tho :)
I see. I googled how to get Pokemon in the Altering Cave and lots of people said that you could use an e-Card of one of the compatible Pokemon to activate them in the Japanese version of FR/LG only. Silly rumors, I guess.There is no such Card, It's was a Event where you would Download it with a Wireless Adapter and these Event are no longer Available.
If you would like to see a R/S Battle e Card in use I have a Video.
