Hello all, as are most of you, I'm practically salivating at the very thought of D/P's release, and are preparing my dex for it. This will be the first time I've ever really stuck to completing the whole thing, and I'm going to need some questions answered before I begin.
1. Do I NEED to beat Colleseum to complete the Pokedex? I am not looking forward to doing that... if I can't get all those pokemon on my handhelds, would there probably be someone on WiFi willing to trade the Colleseum catchables to me?
2. I know that I won't be able to get a full-proof answer for this question, but according to general consensus, would I be able to trade for those event pokemon like Deoxys, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc. over WiFi? I know that I can, per se, but would people be willing? Perhaps even a trade-back, but trust becomes an issue there.
3. Is there something I'm missing? Let's say that I do beat Colleseum, snag and purify them all, and complete the in-game pokedexs. Would I then have all of the generation 1, 2, and 3 pokemon? (I have all of the GBA games) Am I forgetting some important piece of info? BTW I know I wouldn't have some like Mew, Lugia, Deoxys, etc.
!!!EDIT!!! 4. If I engage in a trade with a random trainer on WiFi and end up with a cloned version of the desired pokemon: 1. Will it hurt my game? 2. If it is a "trade-back" and I do indeed return it, would it hurt my game or still count for my dex?
I already know that I'll have to go through Fr/Lg one more time to get the third dog, but my sister has both games too which won't make that hard.
Any opinion or answer will be warmly welcomed, thanks for all your help.
P.S. I'm new to the forums, so if this is in the wrong place, sorry! lol
