to trade national dex pokes to a game that doesnt have the dex? i started my emerald over and saved cause i was going to do a play through were i took my friends and decided what poke they are most like, but it wont let me trade them over. Btw im tradeing from sapphire------> emerald

Umm dont think there is. It wont let you trade a pokemon that goes in the nat dex to a game that hasnt gotten it yet. I tried that with a couple so I speak from experience.

 

[Shiny Venusaur]

crap well there goes 3 days of breeding for nothing and loosing 6 gold symbols and 1 silver

 

[kirkeastment]

i could have sworn that if you trade from agame that has the nat.dex then the game that your trading to also gets the national dex

 

[Robert1559]

yes i trade pokemon from emerald to all sorts of other games all the time

 

[Shiny Venusaur]

^ ya but what about sapphire TO emerald do you think it would work on LG?

 

[Sarukarisha]

No, the only pokemon you can trade from saph to emerd are hoenn ones before you get the national dex.

Well trading to Ru/Sa is the other way around from Emerald. You don't even need any badges, and you can trade any of the 386 into Ru/Sa before getting the national dex. Too bad you can't do that with Emerald.

exactly, i tried to trade a charmander from my FR into Emerald since it restarted and i couldn't because i didn't have the National Dex

 

[Sir Marly]

nope i got corrected on this too.

 

[Robert1559]

usally i trade my fire red to ruby and later to emerald and vis versa i never had a problem

 

[TEAMKOTTONMOUTH]

i havent beaten the game on emerald or ruby yet but those 2 i have been tradin back n forth doin ev trainin and the likes.. i cant trade with my FIRERED yet though.. is it same for u guys as well?

 

[RoboRaph]

It might be possible to trade non-Hoenn pokes from Colosseum to Emerald without the National Dex, you definately can't do it with any other games.

If this does work, I know for sure that you can't evolve the Pokémon.

 

[Jaster]

Try trading to Ruby or Sapphire, maybe you might have some luck.

You can trade from Emerald to R/S right away, provided you're trading only Hoenn-exclusive Pokemon. To trade with FR/LG you'll need the National Dex in Emerald and the same in FR/LG, plus fix the Network Machine.
