i just started pokemon soul silver, my friend already beat his pokemon soul silver and has the gen I starters that i want to trade for and start my pokemon game with, would this work?
Actually, you can trade over the Gen I starters before the National Dex. You are allowed to trade any Pokémon over into HG/SS as soon as you have access to trade. So, yes you can obtain the Kanto starters, but like mentioned before their are a couple complications such as disobedience if you don't have enough badges, etc.
Other than that, I'd suggest using the HG/SS Help Thread for further questions.
