1st Gen How do you trade?

[pokefan41]

I know we just got the games released a couple days ago, but how are you supposed to trade pokemon in the games? And im not talking about the in game trades we have known for 20 years, I mean the wi fi trading we supposedly are able to do in these games. Anyone figured that out yet?

Visit a Pokecentre - where you heal your pokemon. Head to the counter on the right instead.

It also cannot be done over WiFi, only over the system's local wireless. Y'know, the stuff that allows StreetPass to work even when there's no WiFi network around.

So what do you do if all your friends are lame and don't play Pokemon?

Buy two games :-D Could be worse - back in the day you had to buy two games and two Game Boys!

Can you trade from blue to red on the same 3ds?

 

[pokefan41]

i don't think so. i don't have a second 3ds, and supposedly it's not possible to trade between the two games if they're on the same system.

I don't think it works that way. My only option at this point is to beg my sister to get Red/Blue because I seriously need a Raichu

See if you can find a Pokemon VGC or TCG league near you would be my suggestion. Might be some people there who are playing these games on VC and have what you need.

Pokemon bank doesn't count as a trade to move Pokemon between R/B/Y on a 3DS?

I havent been able to confirm, does pokebank work for transferring between the RBY virtual console games? I know we will be able to transfer them to Sun and Moon.

I doubt it, they dont fully count as trades in gen 6, trade evos wont evolve in the pokebank.
Although they do keep their data from their original trainer.

Oh well, if that's the case we'll just have to buy a cheap 2DS or cheaper secondhand original 3DS - there are plenty of those on the market. Pity though. I've never been fortunate to live with or near another gamer into the same games as I am, like Pokemon.

Pokemon bank will get an update later this year. So you cannot put any of them in until the update.
