The '''Time Capsule''' (Japanese: '''タイムカプセル''' ''Time Capsule'') is a mechanic in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that allows {{player}}s to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Time travel|back in time]] to {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}. It is not present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Although no Generation I games were released in South Korea, the Time Capsule is still present in the Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver.

A permanent fixture in every [[Pokémon Center]], the Time Capsule is the only facility which allows direct inter-generational trades. Starting with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} in [[Generation III]], this is no longer possible in the games, although it is possible to migrate Pokémon forward a generation through use of [[Pal Park]] (from Generation III to [[Generation IV]]), the [[Poké Transfer]] (from Generation IV to [[Generation V]]) and the [[Poké Transporter]] (from Generation V to [[Generation VI]]). Pokémon can no longer be "sent back in time", i.e., they can no longer be directly traded back to a previous generation game.
===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (Japanese and Western versions)===
 
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each [[Pokémon Center]]. However, it will be under repair and unavailable until the {{player}} has met [[Bill]] in [[Ecruteak City]]. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 hours in the game's internal clock before being able to use the Time Capsule.

After this point, it is possible to [[trade]] with the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games; however, there are still some restrictions:

The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from entering can be bypassed with the [[Time Capsule exploit]], though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know {{cat|Generation I moves}}. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become [[glitch Pokémon]]. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I ({{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, and {{p|Graveler}}), if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after [[Evolution|evolving]], but can be traded back to Generation I immediately after. This gives access to [[glitch moves]] in the Generation I game.

In the Korean releases of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, although the Time Capsule is officially unsupported, it is enabled by linking with a [[Generation I]] game using the regular trading room of the [[Generation II]] games. The attempt to trade will be cancelled and [[Bill]] will appear as soon as the player attempts to leave the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Ecruteak City]].

After unlocking it, the player can use Time Capsule with Western versions of the Generation I games. However, like when trading between Korean and Western Generation II games, because the Western games do not support [[Character encoding in Generation II/Korean|Korean characters]], Pokémon names and Original Trainers will not display properly in the Western games; if a Korean character corresponds to a control character in the Western games, this can have other unexpected effects.
