==Connectivity== | |||
Players may [[trade]] Pokémon between two cartridges or battle with another cartridge using a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]]. To take full advantage of this feature, several Pokémon are exclusive to each game of the pair and others require trading to evolve, making trading necessary to complete the [[Pokédex]]. The games can trade and battle with Japanese versions of Pokémon Red, Green, {{v2|Blue|_(Japanese)}} and {{game|Yellow}}. They can also trade with Japanese versions of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} via the [[Time Capsule]]. Pokémon Red and Green are completely incompatible with games from [[Generation III]] onward. | |||
Trades between Pokémon games in different languages are possible; however, a Japanese game cannot connect with a non-Japanese game without causing corruption. This is due to the fact that the games cannot automatically translate the Pokémon data from Japanese to a different language or vice versa, since neither game fully [[Character encoding in Generation I|encodes]] both {{wp|kana}} and the {{wp|Latin alphabet}} (only encoding one fully and the other partially). If a battle between a Japanese game and a non-Japanese game is attempted, the battle simply does not work, with the save files left unharmed. | |||
Pokémon Red and Green are compatible with {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium 2}} (released as Pokémon Stadium in English), and [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]] (released as Pokémon Stadium 2 in English). While link battles are not possible directly between Pokémon Red and Green and the Generation II games, a player may challenge a Generation II game using [[Pokémon Stadium 2|Pokémon Stadium Gold and Silver]]. | |||
===Virtual Console=== | |||
The [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases use 3DS wireless communication as a substitute for the Game Link Cable. Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I core series games do not recognize each other when attempting to link them via 3DS wireless communication. | |||
Using [[Poké Transporter]], the entirety of Box 1 can be sent from the Generation I core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]] (regardless of language), from where they can be withdrawn in the [[Generation VII]] core series games. | |||
