Does the link between GBA & Gamecube count as a trade?

Question

When you link Sapphire/Ruby to Colosseum on Gamecube, will the pokemon you trade between them evolve?

Answer 1

Yes. Pokemon traded from the GBA to the Gamecube and vice versa count as a trade, and as such, pokemon like Haunter or Kadabra will evolve upon being traded. You can't trade shadow pokemon to your GBA for obvious reasons though.

Answer 2

I've never tried or done this, but I can explain a few things:

• There is a difference between a trade and a migration.

If you are exchanging a Polemon from both Colloseum and Ruby game, than it is a trade.

If you are only moving a single (or more) Pokemon to either game, it is a migration.

Only during a trade will Pokemon evolve. ~

Hey Sam Sam Sam Sam, If you are only moving a single (or more) Pokemon to either game, it could also be called a transfer(Unova)

Yeah. Transfer = Migration. Same thing!
