'''Anistar City''' (Japanese: '''ヒャッコクシティ''' ''Hyakkoku City'') is a city located in the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

==Places of interest==
===Anistar Gym===
{{main|Anistar Gym}}
The Anistar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Anistar City, whose Gym Leader is [[Olympia]] and specializes in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Hidden Power Checker===
After providing the player [[TM10]], a man in the house next to the boutique will tell the player what type {{m|Hidden Power}} will act as for any Pokémon he is shown.

===Sundial===
The Sundial to the north of the city is used in the post-game to upgrade the [[Mega Ring]]. This also allows the player to find the [[Mega Stones]] hidden throughout [[Kalos]].

===Old man's house===
In the house two spots north of the boutique, an old man can be found depressed because of the death of his wife. He will ask the player to lend him any Pokémon level 5 or under to keep him company for the time being. After defeating the Elite Four, the player can return to the house only to find that the old man has passed away and left behind a Poké Ball containing the Pokémon lent to him, a letter thanking the player for their helping him in his last moments, and a {{DL|Valuable item|Comet Shard}}. However, if the player has a full team, they cannot take the Pokémon back until an open spot is made.

===Memory Girl===
Next to the entrance of the Pokémon Center is a girl who can read Pokémon memories. She can tell the player things like whether the Pokémon was hatched from an Egg, or a particular situation where it was used in battle. If a Pokémon is traded from another player or is fed treats by someone, she can tell the player these facts as well. For example, a [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)|Bulbasaur]] hatched and traded to another player might generate a message like this: "[[Venusaur (Pokémon)|Venusaur]] hatched from an Egg and saw ''Trainer 1'' for the first time at...[[Lumiose City|a large city]]. The Pokémon remembers that it was restless. And...Venusaur was raised by ''Trainer 2'' and evolved at [[Kalos Route 17|a snow-swept road]]. The Pokémon remembers that it got light-hearted."

==After main story==
When the player defeats {{ga|Serena}} or {{ga|Calem}} at [[Kiloude City]], they inform the player that [[Professor Sycamore]] is waiting for them in Anistar City at the sundial with info on [[Mega Stone]] and the [[Mega Ring]]. At the sundial, Professor Sycamore tells the player that he has discovered a way to level up the Mega Ring. He tells the player to touch it against the sundial, and after doing so, he reveals that from 8 pm to 9 pm, the Mega Ring will resonate with Mega Stones that are underground. However, this will only be possible at that time, when the sun is shining through the sundial. It will not work at any other time.

==Trivia==
* Anistar's Japanese motto is {{tt|星巡る　時告げの　街|The city that tells the time surrounded by the stars}}.

I read on several forums, like Smogon, that it added a weakness to Fire, rendering Paras the only Pokémon to ever take 8x more damage from a certain type. Shouldn't the damage increase be 100% and not 25% ? [[User:Xel|Xel]] 01:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

'''Dry Skin''' (Japanese: '''かんそうはだ''' ''Dry Skin'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Five [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] can have this Ability, all of which are dual-types.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Dry Skin modifies {{stat|HP}} depending on [[weather conditions|climate]]. During [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunshine]], the Pokémon with this Ability will lose 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. During [[Weather conditions#Heavy rain|rain]] the Pokémon with Dry Skin will regain 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.

In addition, {{type|Fire}} attacks do 25% more damage to these Pokémon, while {{type|Water}} attacks will have no effect and heal ¼ of their maximum HP instead. As a side-effect of this property an [[In-battle effect item#Absorb Bulb|Absorb Bulb]] will not activate if held by a Pokémon with Dry Skin.

===Outside of battle===
Dry Skin has no effect outside of battle.

Pokémon Dream World

2013-01-05T18:29:57Z

CrunchySponge: /* Island of Dreams */ Encountered this hidden limit all throughout November, 12 every time for weeks.

[[File:Pokémon Dream World logo.png|thumb|300px|Dream World logo]]
The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') is a special feature of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}. Operated via the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/ website], the Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website like a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

==Access==
Players may access the Dream World by creating an account at [[Pokémon.com]] for international players, at the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website for Japanese players, or at the Pokémon Korean site for Korean players. To have full access to one's account, players must first send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their [[C-Gear]]'s only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players will have full access to the Global Link site. An account may only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.

When doing certain actions for the first time, players are given a tutorial by [[Fennel]]. They may then explore the rest of the Dream World on their own. With the reopening of the Global Link site after the release of international versions of Black and White, players who had Japanese accounts prior to the reopening will be given tutorials once again. Players are also given the tutorial again when using a computer that they have not used for visiting the Dream World before.

On the player's first visit to the Dream World, they will receive five of one of the {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}} from Fennel; this is the only way, besides Share Shelves, to obtain these {{Berries}}. Repeating the tutorial does not re-award these Berries.

Due to the number of people accessing the site at one time, players are given only one hour to access the Dream World every 24 hours. However, the website is {{DL|Global Link|Maintenance|occasionally under maintenance}}, prohibiting access.

===Continuing===
If a player accesses the Dream World after the {{tt|20 hours|24 hours prior to the July 2012 update}} waiting period without having woken up their Pokémon, the player can continue exploring the Dream World with the Pokémon from the last visit still at the Tree of Dreams. If a Pokémon was picked from the Tree of Dreams, the player is not allowed to access any of the Island of Dream's areas, as they have a Pokémon still ready to be sent to the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]; however, the player can still explore their and other player's homes. Whatever water that wasn't used in the watering can for Berries is preserved and is not renewed until a Pokémon is woken up.

Any point accumulation during these continued games counts toward the total of [[#Dream Points|Dream Points]] that would lead to a Pokémon's level-up once awoken via the C-Gear, including the points gained by logging into the Global Link once a day.

==Features==
===Home===
[[File:Dream Castle.png|thumb|300px|Outside the home]]
Players have a home they can customize in the Dream World, similarly to [[secret base]]s. Players can decorate the three rooms inside the house with [[Décor]], or switch the look of the house.

At the doorstep is the Footprint Mat, which shows the Pokémon that have visited the player's home. When there is a pending Dream Pal request for the player, the Footprint Mat will glow. The footprint mat can be used to accept Dream Pal requests and visit the homes of players who visited the player's home.

The house itself contains the Treasure Chest, where players may see the [[item]]s they have in the Dream World and send them to Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 via the [[Entralink]]. When sent to a Generation V game, a little boy standing to the left of the entrance to the Entree Forest will give all items transferred, calling them "Dream Remnants". Only twenty of the same item may be sent to the player's game at once.

Starting from May 1, 2012, if the player does not visit the Pokémon Dream World for 100 days, the Tree of Dreams will begin to convert Berries in the Treasure Chest into Dream Points. However, it leaves behind one of each type of Berry.

====Friend Board====
The Friend Board is available for players to see which Pokémon they are going to send back to Pokémon Black or White, as well as showing the ones they have sent before. Both Pokémon obtained through making a wish at the Tree of Dreams and Pokémon obtained through [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotions]] are stored here.

If there are fifty Pokémon on the Friend Board that have not been sent to the game yet, the Island of Dreams cannot be visited. Due to players only being able to have one Pokémon from the Tree of Dreams on the Friend Board at a time, this would require the player to have 49 Pokémon from [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|Pokémon Global Link promotions]] on the Friend Board that were not sent to the Entree Forest; therefore, this circumstance is extremely unlikely to occur. At one time before the international release of the Dream World, only fifty Pokémon could be transferred from a Global Link account; this was removed in 2010.

===Garden===
[[File:DW Garden Diglett.png|300px|thumb|Diglett digging another row]]
Unlike most games since {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, when the mechanic was introduced, {{4v|Black|White}} do not allow players to plant Berries in-game due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in [[Unova]]. Instead, players may plant Berries in the Dream World in the garden found in the area to the left of their home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Additionally, Berries will remain in the fruit-bearing stage until picked; they never fall off and resprout. The number of Berries yielded depends on the condition of the soil when fully grown.

A Berry cannot be watered as soon as it is planted; it must dry out first before it can be watered. A Berry plant also cannot be watered when it is fully grown. A player can water others' Berries up to 20 times per dream, as of the April 2011 update. Prior to this update, there was no limit. There is no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. {{p|Diglett}} will dig additional rows when the player obtains a certain number of Dream Points. Currently, players can have up to ten rows.

|}{{-}}

===Share Shelf===
To the right of the player's home is the Share Shelf, a stand where items may be placed. Other players can swap their own items for items placed on a Share Shelf. A player will not be able to trade for an item that they already have or that they traded to the shelf, as of the April 2011 update.

===Island of Dreams===
[[File:DW Tree of Dreams.png|thumb|300px|The Tree of Dreams]]
Players get to the island through the Dream Bridge. The island has several areas players may explore, where they can find items and befriend Pokémon. Usually only pre-Generation V Pokémon will appear, but Generation V Pokémon can appear if the player Game Syncs with Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. Only one Pokémon can be befriended and sent to the player's game per visit, and this Pokémon is selected from the Tree of Dreams by making a wish and placed on the Friend Board. Items may either be sent to the player's games, traded to other players via Share Shelf, or used to buy [[Décor]] (Berries only).

More areas are unlocked as players obtain Dream Points. If the player has access to more than one area, they are sent to a random area every time they go to the island (after September 28, 2011, all players have access to multiple areas). If a player obtains the necessary amount of points to unlock an area, he or she can access the area even without logging out of the Dream World or Global Link. From June 20, 2012 onwards, the [[type]] of the Pokémon sleeping influences the chances of which area the player will be sent to, excluding {{t|Dragon}} types. For example, {{type|Ice}} Pokémon increase the probability of visiting {{dwa|Icy Cave}}. [[Fennel's Munna]]—which can only be used in the demo—does not influence the chances of being sent to any particular area.

After exploring an area, players will go to the Tree of Dreams, where they may choose to leave a [[Berry]] in the tree and make a wish to choose one of their befriended Pokémon to send to the [[Entralink]]. If they do, they may not revisit the Island of Dreams until the next trip. However, if they do not choose to make a wish and befriend a Pokémon, they have the choice of visiting the island again to look for more Pokémon and items.

Similar to {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Victini}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}, all Pokémon found in the Dream World cannot be {{Shiny}}. A Pokémon found in the Dream World will always have its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]], {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|if it has one}}. Pokémon found in the Dream World have about a 25% chance of being female regardless of gender distribution, unless the Pokémon can be of only one gender. All Pokémon obtained in the Dream World will be at level 10, unless they evolve at a level above 10, in which case they will be at that level; certain [[legendary Pokémon]] will also be at levels above 10.

Until November 2010, players could access the other features of the Dream World, even when they did not have a Pokémon in the Dream World, but could not access the Island of Dreams unless they had a Pokémon in the Dream World. However, this feature has since been removed; players can only do this if they have not used {{DL|C-Gear|Game Sync}} yet.

Prior to the October 2012 update, after entering the Island of Dreams five to seven times, players would find nothing on the island. Since the update this limit is instead set at twelve visits.

====Areas====
The areas accessible from the Dream World have different requirements between connecting with {{game|Black and White|s}} game cards and {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}} game cards. These areas are more likely to be visited by Pokémon of certain types.

====Mini-games====
{{main|List of Pokémon Dream World mini-games}}
After finding a Pokémon, players are given an option to participate in a mini-game in order to befriend it. The game to be played depends on the encountered Pokémon.

===Dream Pals===
A player can become Dream Pals with another player by visiting their house and sending a Dream Pal request. The other player's footprint mat will then glow until the request is accepted, is deleted, or expires. If the other player accepts, the two players become Dream Pals, and a rainbow bridge will link the two players' homes on their Dream Pal maps. Dream Pal requests last only a week before they are automatically deleted. There is a limit of {{tt|50|20 prior to the October 2012 update and 10 prior to the July 2011 update}} Dream Pals (including pending outgoing Dream Pal requests) per player.

When visiting another player's house, it is possible to view his or her Dream Pal map, and go directly to the houses of other Dream Pals of that player. This allows the creation of large networks of players.

In addition, on the player's Dream Pal map, a random player's house will appear in the bottom right-hand corner, as long as the privacy settings are set to "everyone". This player is randomly selected every time the player opens the Dream Pal map.

Prior to the April 2011 update, Dream Pals were only those that players had added to their Pal Pads.

===Dream Points===
Dream Points are earned by doing certain actions in the Dream World. Similar to earning {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s in the [[Pokéwalker]], gaining Dream Points allows players to unlock more areas on the Island of Dreams. As of December 21, 2010, all Dream Point requirements were halved permanently.

Prior to the April 2011 update, the following mechanics were used in gaining points:

|-

|}{{-}}

The more Dream Points that are accumulated in a single play session, the happier the dreaming Pokémon will become. This is reflected in the icons which appear above the Pokémon when it is hovered over with the mouse.

==Waking up==
[[File:DW Waking up.png|thumb|300px|Seeing the befriended Pokémon]]
Right before saving the game and finishing a session, players are given the option to make real the Pokémon friends they have met and any items they have collected. These items will become available immediately after waking a Pokémon up using the {{DL|C-Gear|Game Sync}} function. Anything materialized from the Dream World into a copy of Pokémon Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 can be found within the [[Entree Forest]] in the [[Entralink]]. Waking Pokémon also resets mechanics such as the watering can being refilled.

If the player earns 500 points between tucking the Pokémon in and waking it up, the Pokémon's level increases unless the Pokémon is already at level 100.

Waking up also initiates any Pokémon Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 customizations made on the {{pkmn|Global Link}} website.

If the player selects the choice to exit the Dream World and keep the Pokémon asleep, then does not (before the hour is over) or cannot (because the hour is over) reenter the game, the option to wake the player's Pokémon is available on the main page of the Global Link website. Whatever was ready to be ported into the player's Pokémon Black or White version (Pokémon, items, customizations) will be carried over through the Game Sync.

==Demo==
A demo is available where the player uses [[Fennel's Munna]], though the player has access only with the following features:
* The player can enter the Dream World as if it has a game Pokémon Black or White registered. No Black 2 or White 2 Pokémon Dream World Pokémon appears on demo mode.
* Fennel's Munna's {{t|Psychic}} type does not influence the area visited, but can't enter the islands that depend on Badges for release.
* The player can befriend a Pokémon every 20 hours. After choosing a Pokémon, the Dream Bridge will be closed by that time, regardless of the time the player entered the Dream World. Pokémon can accumulate on "Pokémon to take" Board.
* The player can plant Berries, but can't use the Share Shelf and cannot visit or be visited by anyone.
* The player earns Dream Points normally, including having access to more Berry rows and Pokémon that appear only after a certain Dream Points.
* Only Pokémon and Decór promotions are accessible.

After registering a game, all Pokémon who were friends are passed onto the game, but only 10 are passed every time that a Pokémon wakes up. The Dream Bridge will open only after every Pokémon has been sent to the game. Points, items and Decór purchased are retained.

** Players now only have to wait 20 hours before they can access the Dream World again.
* On June 22, 2012, the {{dwa|Icy Cave}} became accessible, and all players automatically have access to it.

* If the player does not have a [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2]] game card currently in use on their account, when their page is loading, the player can see a glimpse of the [[Medal]] status screen; this was possible even before Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 were released outside of Japan.

Item maniac

CrunchySponge: /* Ore collector */ Added Odd Keystone (3k/pc), which can be obtained through the Antiques Stores in Join Avenue

{{incomplete|needs=complete lists for ore collector, villa owner, and bone man}}
An '''item maniac''' is a person who will purchase certain items from the player at an increased price than what they would be sold for to a [[Poké Mart]]. [[Valuable item#Valuable items that can only be sold to item maniacs in Unova|Some items which cannot be sold to Poké Marts]] can be sold to item maniacs. They first appeared in [[Generation V]].

==Unova==
===Hungry maid===
A hungry maid in a trailer on {{rt|5|Unova}} will sniff out any food in the player's backpack and offer money for it. She gives the following amounts:

Trade

CrunchySponge: /* Trivia */ Added Black2/White2 to the list of games where Everstone Kadabra will evolve during a trade. Just happened to me when traded from B2 to W2. Not sure how to provide proof but please try it out yourselves...

{{incomplete|needs=more Generation V info}}
[[File:Trade Pt.png|frame|Trading confirmation screen in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
A '''trade''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}''') is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other Trainer's Pokémon. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon when traded. The only items unable to be held by Pokémon, and therefore unable to be traded are [[key item]]s, [[HM]]s, and, in [[Generation V]], [[TM]]s. In addition, the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} cannot be traded in [[Generation IV]], as it will automatically be put back in the bag when a player with Origin Forme Giratina in their party enters the Union Room or Wi-Fi. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will trigger an evolution when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message.

==Benefits of trading==
[[File:Platinum trade.png|frame|Trading a {{p|Buizel}} for a {{p|Chatot}} in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as each game is missing Pokémon which cannot be found except in another compatible game. For example, Meowth cannot be found in Pokémon Red, and the player must trade with someone who has a copy of Pokémon Blue, where Meowth is readily found in the wild. {{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Some Pokémon}} only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded. Trading away a Pokémon will not remove its Pokédex entry.

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from another language will gain 1.7× experience.

Trading may also be used to transfer additional instances of limited and rare items in games from [[Generation II]] onward, such as [[Master Ball]]s or [[Soul Dew]]s, from one game to another by making a Pokémon [[Held item|hold them]].

==Drawbacks of trading==
A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of Gym Badges. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to 70 when it is traded from one game to another. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname.

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge.

==Limitations on trading==
===Trading between game generations===
Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}.

Using [[Pal Park]], players can transfer Pokémon from their [[Generation III]] games to [[Generation IV]] games; however, Pokémon cannot be returned from Generation IV to Generation III. Additionally, Pokémon sent through Pal Park cannot know any Generation III [[HM]] moves. Similarly, using the [[Poké Transfer Lab]], transfer is possible from Generation IV to [[Generation V]], although as well as the limitation on HM moves, the Pokémon must not be holding any items. It is also possible to use a method called the [[Relocator]] to transfer specific event Pokémon before reaching the Poké Transfer Lab, although the same restrictions apply.

Trading between Generations II and earlier with Generations III and later is impossible due to the vastly different data structures that were introduced in Generation III (such as [[Individual Values]] ranging from 0 to 31), as well as the difficulty in linking a Game Boy Color game to a Game Boy Advance game and the lack of any link cable ports on later systems.

===International trading===
Trading between Japanese and non-Japanese games is not recommended in Generations I and II, mostly due to the different memory locations within the RAM. While possible, these trades will result in the corruption of save files, forcing a player to restart their game from the beginning.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref> Trading between games released outside of Japan, such as between a Spanish {{game|Crystal}} and a French {{game|Yellow}}, does not result in any corruption.

Trading became possible between all versions of the games in [[Generation III]], where the English language text was programmed in even the Japanese games. Due to the relatively low chance of English and other language games coming into contact with Japanese games, however, precautions were not taken in the Japanese games to preserve a Pokémon or Trainer's name when traded in, as their maximum lengths are different. While games released outside Japan will display a Pokémon's OT and nickname fully, Japanese games will only display the first five letters.

International trading became full-fledged in Generation IV, and was a much touted feature, with the linkage of the games to the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Pokémon from foreign-language games would unlock international Pokédex entries if traded to a game of a different language; at first, only 14 Pokémon could do this, however, from Platinum onward, all Pokémon can potentially allow for foreign entries. Some special event Pokémon (ex: Spiky-eared Pichu) cannot be traded.

Interestingly, Pokémon traded from Korean-language Generation IV games will not display their names nor OTs in other language variants, because the characters are not programmed into non-Korean Generation IV games. Korean games, however, will display names from all other games.

===Hardware requirements===
Trading requires two game consoles and two Pokémon games of compatible generations. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase two consoles.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], trading required a [[link cable]] or a [[GBA Wireless Adapter]]. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the link cable. Also, Transfer Packs can be used to trade in [[Generation I]] and in [[Generation II]], via {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}}.

The [[Pal Park]] feature of [[Generation IV]] games uses the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, so unlike other trading requires only one game console. However, it is not compatible with the [[Nintendo DSi]], [[Nintendo DSi XL|DSi XL]] or [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], which do not have a GBA slot.

==Requirements for trading==
===Generation I===
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

===Generation II===
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]], and waiting until the next day when setup is completed.

===Generation III===
===={{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. In Emerald, trading with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is prohibited unless the National Pokédex has been obtained, while trading with FireRed and LeafGreen in Ruby and Sapphire will itself activate the National Pokédex automatically.

===={{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade. Trades with Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are possible only after bringing the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} key items to complete [[Celio]]'s [[Network Machine]], which can be done only after the player has become the champion and obtained the National Pokédex. Also, if someone trades a Pokémon that [[evolution|evolves]] into a [[Generation II]] Pokémon by trading before receiving the National Pokédex, that Pokémon will stop evolving.

====[[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]====
The player cannot trade Pokémon with the GBA games in Colosseum until [[Evice]] has been defeated, while the player must have defeated [[Greevil]] in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to trade. Trading any unpurified [[Shadow Pokémon]] is completely prohibited, as data for Shadow moves doesn't exist in the GBA games, nor the ability to purify them.

It is not possible to directly trade between Colosseum and XD.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Platinum trade ball.png|frame|A trade in Generation IV]]
===={{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. Migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games through [[Pal Park]] cannot be done until the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained. It is possible to obtain a non-regional Pokémon when trading Pokémon from another Generation IV game ''without'' having acquired the National Pokédex. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

====[[My Pokémon Ranch]]====
Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

===={{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
Similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, trading cannot occur until the player has obtained his or her Pokédex from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Mr. Pokémon|Mr. Pokémon's house]]. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party; but no additional prerequisite is needed to trade with the Sinnoh games: this can be done at the very beginning of the game. Migrating Pokémon from Generation III games through Pal Park is also possible later in the game if the player has a Nintendo DS or DS Lite.

===Generation V===
===={{2v|Black|White}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon until they have obtained the {{badge|Trio}} from the [[Striaton Gym]] and completed the [[C-Gear]] sub-quest for [[Fennel]]. This prevents the player from trading for a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}} in order to access the blocked-off section of [[Dreamyard]] early, as [[HM]] usage is not restricted by [[badge]] ownership in Unova.

The player is also prevented from trading party Pokémon that know any [[HM]] move via Infrared Connection, most likely to prevent trading away a Pokémon whose HM move is needed in a certain area. An example of this would be trading away any Pokémon in the party who know Fly or Surf while on a patch of land surrounded by water.

The [[Poké Transfer]] feature allows Pokémon to be migrated from any Generation IV game. Pokémon can be migrated up to six at a time using a catapult minigame sent to another DS using Download Play. This minigame can transfer Pokémon from an inserted Generation IV Pokémon cartridge. Migrating with the Poké Transfer is one-way, requires both games to be from the same language, and cannot migrate Eggs or Pokémon holding items. There is no daily limit to use of the Poké Transfer.

The [[Relocator]] allows the transfer of {{p|Celebi}} and the Shiny [[legendary beasts]] from a Generation IV game. It is available earlier in the game than the Poké Transfer, which requires the player to have acquired the [[National Pokédex]] and defeated the [[Elite Four]].

===={{2v|Black 2|White 2}}====
Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the {{badge|Basic}} from the [[Aspertia Gym]] and have received the C-Gear from [[Bianca]]. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White. The Poké Transfer is also available after obtaining the [[National Dex]], allowing Pokémon from Generation IV to be transferred to Black 2 and White 2.

==Pokémon which evolve when traded==

* {{p|Karrablast}} → {{p|Escavalier}} (if traded for {{p|Shelmet}})
* {{p|Shelmet}} → {{p|Accelgor}} (if traded for {{p|Karrablast}})

==In the anime==
[[File:Trade machine.png|thumb|250px|right|{{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}} preparing to trade]]
Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Only a few trades have been shown taking place, and only four of them thus far have been truly significant. Fans have often speculated about the reason for this. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.
* In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Butterfree}} for a {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{AP|Raticate}}. He wasn't happy with the trade, however, so he traded it back by the end of the episode.
* In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for {{jo|Benny}}'s {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
* In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James is forced by Jessie to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for the [[Magikarp salesman]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}}.
* In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} for {{an|Dawn}}'s {{AP|Buizel}}.
* In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', {{an|Bianca}} and [[Professor Juniper]] trade their [[Bianca (anime)#Traded_away|Shelmet]] and [[Professor Juniper#Traded away|Karrablast]] so that they may evolve.

The trade machine used in the anime has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory in both {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when link cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Like the anime, the Pokémon Adventures Manga does not contain many trades despite being a major part of the games. Most are not shown to need a machine to complete them.
* In [[PS018]], {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} accidentally traded some of their Pokémon, resulting in the evolution of Blue's {{TP|Blue|Machoke}}
* In [[PS025]], Red traded his {{p|Krabby}} for [[Misty]]'s [[Gyara|Gyarados]]
* In [[PS109]], {{adv|Silver}} tells {{adv|Gold}} to use his [[Pokédex]] to trade his [[Polibo|Poliwhirl]] for Silver's {{p|Seadra}} in order to evolve them. They trade back in [[PS110]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation V]], if a [[Pokémon]] from another country evolves, the Pokémon's name, if not nicknamed, will translate into the game's language.
* [[Evolution]] cannot be canceled if it takes place due to a trade occurring.
* Pokémon traded between languages in [[Generation III]], if not nicknamed, will preserve their foreign-language species name even through evolution as if it were a nickname. Thus, a Japanese {{p|Charmander}} named {{tt|ヒトカゲ|Hitokage}} if traded to an English game for a {{p|Pichu}} named PICHU will evolve and keep the name {{tt|ヒトカゲ|Hitokage}}, even as a {{p|Charmeleon}}, when its Japanese species name would be {{tt|リザード|Lizardo}}. Likewise, a Pichu evolved in the Japanese game would keep the name PICHU even as a {{p|Pikachu}}. This was solved with a bit that determined whether or not a Pokémon had been nicknamed in the [[Generation IV]] games.
** However, this bit's existence undoes a previous feature, where a Pokémon that evolved twice (such as {{p|Oddish}}), if nicknamed in all-caps the name of its evolved form (in this case, "{{p|Gloom|GLOOM}}"), when evolved through that stage to its final form will become un-nicknamed again (taking the name "{{p|Bellossom|BELLOSSOM}}" or "{{p|Vileplume|VILEPLUME}}").
* All trading animations are shown using the standard [[Poké Ball]], regardless of what type of ball the Pokémon being traded was actually caught in.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake, which was due to the original translation being of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]]'s script, where the player would trade a {{p|Kadabra}} for his {{p|Graveler}}, both of which would evolve as a result, was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Due to an oversight in the Generation IV games, a Kadabra that is traded, even if it is holding an [[Everstone]], will always evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}. This issue is present in all Generation IV games, and was not fixed in the release of {{game|Platinum}} or {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** This oversight is also present in {{game|Black 2}} and {{game|White 2}}.
* {{p|Porygon}} is the only Pokémon to evolve twice via trading.
** In addition, {{p|Porygon2}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved from trading that can evolve further.
** Both evolutions require a held item to succeed, namely the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}} and the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}.
* {{p|Clamperl}} is the only Pokémon that can evolve into one of two Pokémon where both evolutions are achieved by trading.
* Through [[Johto guard glitch|exploitation]] of [[Five question marks|?????]] in Generation II, it is possible to trade {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} back to [[Generation I]], where they will become [[Missingno.]] and various other [[glitch Pokémon]].
* In the anime, trades often take place in episodes where the [[Magikarp salesman]] appears.
