Is there any other way to obtain Kanto Starters in Gen 3?

Question

I’m looking to complete a living dex, however I only have Fire Red. I do, however, have Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. I also have the GameCube games, and I know you can send Pokemon in them? although I have not played them yet. I am not fluent with the Gen 3 postgames; I know you can get the Gen 2 starters.

So I was wondering, is it possible to obtain the other Kanto starters through the other Gen 3 games?

I don't believe you can get any of the Kanto starters in XD or Coliseum, so beyond decade old events, you can't get them from anywhere but in FrLg.

Good to know. I’ll look into buying leaf green (my poor wallet ;;)

You could trade all the Pokemon out of your copy of Fire Red and then restart the game to get the other starters (and the other fossils).

@sumwun that would work, but that is an intense amount of pain and suffering. I probably should’ve done that from the get-go.

Someone just reminded me of the pomeg glitch. Adding this here because. Yes.
