4th Gen Trading Compatibility

I don't think think this deserved its own thread... But yeah, they will be.

Yes they will, but obviously you can't trade new Pokemon or Pokemon with new moves back.

I agree, this is sort of pointless. But anyway, they will have trading capabilities. Maybe they'll even have battles and mini-games(pokemon jump and dodrio berry picking) capabilities, but that's going a bit too far.
 
I find all this very confusing. Allow me to present a scenario?

I have a version of Emerald, packed with Pokemon I'd like on either D/P.
I have a version of FireRed, also packed with Pokemon I'd like on either D/P.

I have two DS lites and I (will) have both Diamond and Pearl carts.

Can I trade my Emerald/FireRed Pokemon to the new games?
Is it just me who finds it awfully confusing..

(By the way, newbie here - so be gentle..)
 
Okay, this is how it goes:
All R/S/FR/LG/E Pokemon are tradeable to D/P. In D/P there are some R/S/FR/LG/E Pokemon, so you can trade those for your oldies.
 
Yes, but I can trade over wi-fi given that they are both inserted into DS's?
I've (and everyone else I expect) only ever traded Pokemon via cable on the Advance and Gameboy before that.

So how would the older generation games (in this case FR and E) communicate with D/P?

Actually, you'll be exchanging data from the GBA port of your DS/DS Lite to the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl DS Card, supposedly.

Ye, that is what i have heard anywho. That would make it so much better, and easier!
 
Oh, so - it'd just be a cart-to-cart sort of thing?
How would that work in-game so to speak?

We don't know yet. I assume we'll have full details closer to the release of the games.
 
Yeah, that's what we've heard. You only need one DS, a GBA cartridge(R/S/FR/LG/E), and a D/P cartridge.(supposedly)
 
I'll get to trade in my fleet of 350+ collected Pokemon, kyahaha. Getting close to t3h compl33t collection. I'll trade in my battle team and be ready to rock whatever post-story extras await me.
 
Good point.

And aye, I don't plan to transfer my fleet in right away. That's why I said post-story extras.
 
It might even be a straight transfer......no D/P pokemon needed............
