Channel question

[4th Generation Master]

I won Pokemon Channel, but how do you trade w/GBA games? I have many Pokemon on it and I also hear it is the only way to get Jirachi. But how do I give Pokemon like Jirachi to the GBA games?

You need a GC->GBA Link cable first of all, and there's something you need to do in Channel to get Jirachi. Ie. It's not there from the start, you've got to unlock it.

Okay, first of all, you can't trade Channel Pokemon (with the exception of Jirachi) to your GBA games.

Second, you can only get Jirachi from Pokemon Channel if you have the PAL (European) version of the game. If you have the US one there's no way to get Jirachi.

If you DO have the PAL version, the Channel FAQ sticky explains exactly how to get Jirachi.

Okay, well I have unlocked Jirachi by now, I unlocked it months ago.

Second, you can only get Jirachi from Pokemon Channel if you have the PAL (European) version of the game. If you have the US one there's no way to get Jirachi.

I am not sure what version it is, a friend gave it to me when he stopped liking it. But it is probably US version though. Still, it can't hurt to make sure.

If you DO have the PAL version, the Channel FAQ sticky explains exactly how to get Jirachi.

I read that. It isn't clear about how you link up and where to go in both games.

Well, the FAQ says:

Q: How do I get Jirachi (PAL)?
A: Get the Starlight Projector on the sixth day and go to Camp Starlight. After that, go to download and follow Prof. Oak's instructions.

If you get to that point in the game, the instructions should walk you through everything you need to know about linking up.
