quick trading question

Will I be able to trade pokemon that are in the national dex, torchic for example, before getting the national dex? Like if I want a torchic can I get someone to trade me one through Wi-fi at the beginning of my adventure?
 
Yes, but you can't pal park them, they have to be traded by Wifi or locally.
 
And they don't appear in the dex. When you look at the summary in your party, the number appears as ???. I read it somewhere on the Serebii, Coronis, and PK's DP Discovery Thread.
 
what do you mean by you can't pal park them? I can still get it though before beating the E4 right, thats what I really care about.

I'm not sure, as I don't have the game. But, if WiFi is possible before the E4, then it's possible. You just need the Global Trade Center or whatever it's called. If it's available before E4. All you need to do is find it.


He means that you can't use Pal Park to obtain it.
 
You can't pal park until you get the National dex, which is by Seeing every Sinnoh pokemon, except the events of course.
 
doesn't that mean that you have to get the pokemon you want from someone else instead of getting it from your Ruby/Sapphire version or your Fire Red/Leaf Green version.

If you don't have the Pal Park yet, then yes. But keep playing, and you'll get Pal Park to get the specific pokemon you want to trade from Fr/Lg and R/S if you have them.


savecowseatcarrots: No, go to the Global Trading Center thingy.
 
This is just info i got of the internet after doing some research on the games, but im guessing you should be able to trade normally through the pokemon center or whatever like in the past as long as the otehr person has the pokemon you want. YOu need to beat the elite 4 to get the national dex and that unlocks the pal park trading option to my knowledge.
 
do pokemon centers still have the trading center in them or is there something new?
 
Here's the clarification.

You can not use pal park before the E4 and National Dex. You can get the starters after you get the Dex.

You can get them by trades before the E4 and Dex. You can't get them in the GTS because you have to see them to look for them and you don't see them anywhere in the game.
 
After you beat E4, you get the National Dex. I think then Pal park is unlocked, which is found on Route 221. You can't just go to any old trading center in the Pokemon Center, ArkWarrior.



Pal park.
 
First you cant pal-park them till u get the nat.dex
Second you can trade with someone that has those pokemon if the other person has D/P
 
It's in the third city, you can use it after you get your first badge. It's a wifi thing that lets you put up a Pokemon and offer it for another. You leave it up and later on come back, and if someone else put up what you wanted the trade went through and you'll get it. You can only look for Pokemon that you have seen in your Pokedex though.
 
can't I like request to someone on serebii to give me a torchic, and if I want it shiny or something like that, and just give them my wi-fi number and trade with them... because if I want it that early I won't have anything good to trade for it, so I'd have to get someone nice who's breeded alot of them to trade it to me.
