For example, you could get a Mew from Pokemon Ranch on the Wii or a Manaphy from an event in Pokemon Ranger. There was also a slew of games that you could transfer from on other consoles like Pokemon Battle Revolution. For example, if youРІР‚в„ўre playing Pokemon Diamond and plug FireRed in the bottom, you could head over to the Pal Park and transfer them over from the older games. A slot for DS games at the top as well as a slot at the bottom for Game Boy Advance games.Р”В«ecause of this, if you had a Generation 4 game AND a Generation 3 game in at the same time, you could transfer from 3 to 4. In addition to it being the first system with two screens, the DS was special because it also had two game slots. This was the first generation on the Nintendo DS. You can also transfer them into games fromРІР‚В¦ Generation 4 (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver) In addition, if you preordered Colosseum as I did, you got the Pokemon Colosseum Bonus Disc which gave you the rare chance to get Jirachi and transfer it to your Game Boy Advance game. Not only could these games trade with each other, but also if you had Pokemon Colosseum you could use a Game Boy Advance to Gamecube link cable to transfer Pokemon from one to the other. This is the generation from which my aforementioned Jirachi was from.

Generation 3 is as far back as you can really go with legit Pokemon. Generation 3 (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, Leafgreen)Р”Р„lright hereРІР‚в„ўs where things get pretty tricky and awesome.

So, do it if you want but oh my god itРІР‚в„ўs so boring. But be warned, while itРІР‚в„ўs cool to have older Pokemon, trading it from these games doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean too much and, honestly, the early games were an absolute SLOG. Now, I will say that the 3DS made downloadable versions of these games that you could then transfer to Pokemon Bank and then to Pokemon Home. It was pretty revolutionary at the time but, sadly, Generation 2 couldnРІР‚в„ўt link with Generation 3 so that lineage sort of died there. Generation 1 and 2 could trade with each other on Game Boy via a link cable. The first two generation of games are fairly alone if you have the originals.
