    Everything related to Wireless Trades go here. So I should be in the right space.
    Well I've established the fact that after obtaining the National Dex, upon receiving a Foreign Pokemon, you got that Foreign Dex Entry. For Example, the German Magikarp. In Platinum, they say that this function is available to all of them.
    So, first question.
    Is this function only available after obtaining the National Dex? I have 2 Japanese Chimchar on my USA Version of Platinum but my Pokedex cannot view their JAP Dex Entries.
    Second Question.
    If I evolve my JAP Chimchar, will I also obtain the JAP Entry for Monferno and Infernape? Will the Pokemon still be "Japanese"?
    Please enlighten me :] I'd like to thank all those who answer in advance.

    i know that when you obtain a pokemon (you japanese Chimchar) that when it evolves, the name goes into enligh (or whatever lanuage) you game is. so if i were to evolve a japanese chimchar, it would become an english monferno
     
    So its Japanese Name will turn into "Monferno"? That sucks. Which means Monferno won't have a Japanese Entry right?
    EDIT: Yeah I just tried it out. This sucks! I wanted a Japanese Infernape |=\
