Fun fact: in Black 2 and White 2, there’s a Hiker around Skyla’s Gym that will offer you his Gigalith for your Emolga. Since there’s a Boldore-for-Emolga trade in the first games, the popular theory is that this Hiker is giving you the Boldore you traded him in the base game, now evolved.

You should have mentioned Ghosuke the Haunter from Cerulean City in Pokemon Ao (Japanese Blue), you trade a Machoke in exchange for a Haunter that immediately evolves into Gengar. You could also trade Kadabra for Saburo the Graveler on Cinnabar Island in that game. Because of Jynx being found in the wild the man who traded it gives the Haunter Trade in Japanese Blue. The guy who gives you the underleveled Electrode in Red & Green does the trade to give you Graveler in Blue. The only of the 4 Gen 1 Trade Evos who wasn't offered by in game trade was Kadabra.

@@RodimusMinor1987 You know, the logic of WHAT people want to do in trades is actually kinda related to the story of the NPC who's trading... and the logic for the Steelix is actually that the guy came to town trying to get a Luvdisc. Similar logic was used in Gen1 for the pokemon you ONLY get from trades. These people were strangers who don't live in the place where you find them. I kinda prefer the guys who just trade for something you get in a different town though. Having someone in the icy village trade for a pokemon you find on the sea coast... actually makes logical sense... even though it's an easy trade. Because the person offering the trade... isn't in the area that pokemon is found.

[@ianmcandrew7893]

I believe that Mr. Mime IS in fact superior to Kadabra for a gen 1 playthrough do to the fact that it is a traded pokemon, so it will level up faster which offsets the slight discrepency in speed and special, and it is bulkier. Additionally, it is useable immediately, whereas Abra needs to be switch trained or raised in the daycare until it comes online at level 16

[@xfdzfd4370]

I love Mr. Mime. A lot of people write it off as a Pokémon that you use when you can't trade for Alakazam, which is kind of true. For an in-game playthrough, though, Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Magical Leaf can tear through Kanto and can perform admirably in Sinnoh (yes, I know Sinnoh does not have Mr. Mime as an in-game trade).

I kind of like that 5 generations after the infamous Gaspar trade, Gamefreak rectified this insult to players by offering an in-game trade in Scarlet and Violet where you offer up a Pincurchin for a Haunter that WILL evolve into a Gengar when traded. You perform the trade in Levincia beside the battle court, although fair warning, the Haunter will have a Brave Nature, which is plus attack and minus speed, which is terrible for Gengar, so hopefully you have a nature mint to change it to modest or another beneficial nature.

Wait until you learn about the trade of Machoke for Haunter that takes place in Japanese Blue that really should have been mentioned in the video. Ghosuke evolves into Gengar as soon as you get it from the man who trades you Jinx in Red & Green. There's a similar trade for a Graveler that becomes a Golem in the same game on Cinnabar Island.

[@billdeco08]

Here are the Scarlet & Violet trades. Any form of Flabebe for Snom, I think you can catch a snom in the game. Due to its horrible typing, be careful who you use Frosmoth against. Paldean Wooper for a regular Wooper. If you didn't pick Quaxly, a good Water/Ground PokeMon can help you out. Nothing against Whiscash and Dragon Dance or Gastrodon's Storm Drain, but Quagsire's pretty good. Finally, the best one of all. Trading a weak Pincurchin for a Haunter where the minute you get a Haunter, it becomes Gengar so if you didn't pick Fuecoco, Gengar will be a great asset to your team.

[@starfoxsmash7002]

The only in-game trade Pokemon I've used on a playthrough team were Billy the Electrode in SoulSilver and Genmar the Alolan Marowak in Let's Go Pikachu. Both of which helped out quite a lot. Genmar helped against Sabrina, and Billy started my fight against Lance.

I was recently doing an X nuzlocke, and my Frogadier had just died. I had nothing else strong against rock outside of my newly caught luvdisc. Then I talked to the Steelix trade trainer. It saved my run then, and he’s still alive and on my team 4 gyms later.

grant sucks, I’m doing a sort of thing (in Pokémon X) where I pick what 6 Pokémon I want before I start and I’m not aloud to catch anything else till I beat the game, I’m stuck on the rock gym with five team members which I didn’t realize until too late, were all weak to grants Pokémon except for my under leveled bagon Team: Flicker the braixen Neon the pikachu Spore the ivysaur Soda Pop the bagon And Glimmer the amaura The last team member I’m getting is going to be a Lapras, I’m going to use the gift lapras to catch my own lapras so I can nickname it but I can’t get lapras till after the third gym so I’m stuck grinding for now

I think for the Let's Go games you could have mentioned Alolan Marowak. It covers the Psychic types without being weak to them, and Ghost Fire is a great typing for a playthrough, especially in Kanto, since there are so few dark types.

All this looking back made me think: What would happen to each game, and how you played it, if you either took the mechanics available in modern games and made them possible in the early game, or used the severly restricted mechanics of gen 1 in later games. If modern games had no Physical/Special split (special would be the average of a pokemons special attack and special defense in this experiment), no held items, no abilities, the 1/256 glitch, the old typing matchups, typing decided if a move was special or physical and so on... If we mixed all this together and went through let's say Sun and Moon, what would your prefered team look like? Keep in mind, ONLY mechanics that were in gen 1 can be used to decide your team!

[@deathxanamon7211]

So no dark, steel, or fairy type, Bugs are weak and psychic is immune to ghost? These need specifying to help me pick a team.
