The Lemmy community for all things Pokémon!
Rules:
Pop a google search for pokemon scarlet violet trade discord. Highly reccomend joining. Theres a channel there to post and ask for trades. Used it going for my pokedex completion at launch.
Not every pokemon is availble in S/V, so you might need to look up a list of whats possible.
You can also use the pokemon home app to trade pver pokemon from the DS and Switch games.
Internet acces is needed for all the above however.
Oh awesome, that’s exactly what I’ll do. Thank you very much my dude!
Oh youre thinking about the old games with the catchphrase 'gotta catch em all'
Gamefreak is an empty shell and there are a lot of pokemon that just do not exist in the game's code.
Eh we will make due with the ones we can get.
I think these days you can trade for specific Pokemon via Pokemon Home... otherwise you can ask around here or on a trading megathread on Reddit
Though fair warning, not all Pokemon can be used in Scarlet/Violet. You can only use the ones that are already in the Paldea Pokedex (see here, heads-up for spoilers), plus a few more (see here).
I think they're making more Pokemon compatible via DLC later? It's a mess lol
Oh cool thanks man!
