In-game trade: Difference between revisions

[[File:Trader Sugimori.png|thumb|Artwork of a {{p|Farfetch'd}} and [[Pokémon Trader (Base Set 77)|its Trainer]] by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]

An '''in-game trade''' is a [[trade]] made with a [[non-player character]] within the course of a [[core series]] or [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] Pokémon game. They are usually for Pokémon that are difficult or impossible to obtain through other means, or for Pokémon unavailable at that point of the game. In later games, the traded Pokémon often has special moves, like [[Egg move]]s.

Prior to HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Trainer conducting the in-game trade will always specify a Pokémon they want to trade for. The Pokémon the player receives in the trade will have a fixed [[Original Trainer|OT]] and [[nickname]]; in later games the [[Trainer ID number|ID numbers]], [[held item]]s, [[Nature]]s, {{IV}}s, and/or [[level]] can be fixed as well.

Like Pokémon traded externally, the traded Pokémon will be treated as an {{pkmn2|outsider}}, and gain a boosted amount of [[experience|experience points]] in battle. Until Generation V, all Pokémon have the same level as the Pokémon it was traded for (except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}).

===[[Generation I]]===

All [[Trainer ID number]]s and {{IV}}s are random in Generation I.

If any of these Pokémon are viewed in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (but not {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), the OT will be "Trainer" instead, in Title Case rather than ALLCAPS. If any of these Pokémon are traded to a compatible game in another language (any European language game), the OT will be translated.

In [[Generation I]], there are a few in-game trades which were programmed into the game but were never assigned to any NPC. The most relevant of these is a {{p|Butterfree}} for {{p|Beedrill}} trade, which appeared in every Generation I game across all language releases despite never being used. The nickname of the traded Beedrill went through a number of changes, starting out as ピピん ''Pipin'' in {{2v2|Red|Green}}, changing to チクチク ''Chikuchiku'' in the Japanese Blue (and Japanese Yellow), being <!--romanized--> converted to "{{tt|CHIKUCHIKU|Literally 'prick' or 'prickle'}}" in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, and finally becoming "STINGER" in English releases of Yellow. Pokémon Yellow also introduced two more unused trades, both of which trade a Pokémon for another of exactly the same species.<ref name="Pokémon Red and Blue - In-Game Trades (web archive)">[http://upokecenter.dreamhosters.com/games/rby/guides/trades.php Pokémon Red and Blue - In-Game Trades]</ref><ref name="The Azure Heights Forum: Who's that [traded] Pokémon?">[http://www.math.miami.edu/~jam/azure/forum/tuff/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000207 The Azure Heights Forum: Who's that traded Pokémon?]</ref><ref>[http://iimarck.us/dumps/dyellow.txt A text dump of Pokémon Yellow]</ref><ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/trades/ In-game Trades]</ref>

Several Pokémon have raised [[Contest condition|Contest stats]], even FireRed and LeafGreen Pokémon whose raised Contest stats will only be visible when traded to Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald. These Pokémon all have a [[sheen]] of 10, one Contest stat raised by 30, and all other Contest stats raised by 5.
