Is it possible to trade to gen 1?

Question

So would I be able to trade a Pokemon from say ruby or diamon, would I be able to trade it down to gen 1?

Answer 1

You can trade Generation I Pokemon (Blue/Red/Yellow) with other Gen I games or Gen II games (Silver/Gold/Crystal) but not beyond that. Also you can not trade any Gen II Pokemon to Gen I games.

All Pokemon in Gen I & II games are TRAPPED in those games and CAN NOT BE TRADED to Gen III - VI

If you want Gen I or II Pokemon you'll need to play the remakes (Fire Red/Leaf Green and Heart Gold/Soul Silver) and trade from there up to your new games.

No. The developers made it so any new pokemon from "future" generations can't be traded down. You might could trade a pikachu (or other common early gen pokemon) from a newer gen game to a older gen game but there is still gap that can't be crossed between Gen 1-2 and Gen 3-5.

Answer 2

Gen 1 was on GB Color, not Game Boy advanced. And its not possible to trade to Gen 1 except from other Gen 1 Games, which would be Red, Blue and Yellow. How could you trade from a newer game to an older 1 if the Pokemon did not exist yet? They wouldnt be in the coding.

You can't Mr.E. You'll have to Poketransfer VI to V.
