Why...

[ThegameHHH]

Why couldnt i trade to my friends emerald version (he was up to mauvile and i was using fire red with ruby and sapphire plates?) We were using the trade centre with wireless adapter and my version said you couldnt trade with someone far away., even though i got the plates.

You can't trade with FR/LG to Emerald if you haven't gotten the national dex on emerald yet(a.k.a beating the E4).

 

[ThegameHHH]

Oh thanks i reckon its a bit BS

 

[Wild Cherry]

Your friend has to beat the Elite Four then get the National dex, then you can trade.

 

[Pacman]

You need the National Dex.

 

[ThegameHHH]

Oh and do you need the dex in sapphire to trade? (National Dex)

 

[davidone10]

No, when you trade emerald to sapphire you automatically get the national dex.

 

[Sir Marly]

No not for Sapphire

 

[davidone10]

Uh, yes, you get the national dex in ru/sa after trading with fr/lg/em.

 

[-Dragon-]

You need the National 'Dex.

 

[Robert1559]

you can trade the pokemon on fr to ruby and you can trade them to your friend

 

[IHeartUmbreon44]

you can trade the pokemon on fr to ruby and you can trade them to your friend

No you can't. You need the national Dex on Emerald to recieve from FireRed and LeafGreen. Even if you trade them to Ruby, you still need the national dex on Emerald to recieve those you'd be trading.

Ok thanks.
