* No Wireless Connectivity: Pokemon Crystal was released for the Game Boy Color, which didn't have built-in wireless capabilities. Trading required the Game Boy Color Link Cable.
* Limited Trading Options: While you could trade with someone else using the link cable, Pokemon Crystal only allows for one-on-one trading. You couldn't connect to a larger network or trade with multiple people simultaneously.
To trade Pokemon in Crystal, you would need:
1. Two Game Boy Color Systems: Each player needs a Game Boy Color console.
2. Two Copies of Pokemon Crystal: Each player needs a copy of the game.
3. A Game Boy Color Link Cable: This connects the two Game Boy Color systems together.
Trading Process:
1. Connect the Link Cable: Connect the Game Boy Color Link Cable to both systems.
2. Start a Trade: In-game, go to the Trading Center in Goldenrod City. Choose the "Trade" option.
3. Select Your Pokemon: Select the Pokemon you want to trade.
4. Confirm the Trade: Both players must confirm the trade. Once confirmed, the Pokemon will be exchanged.
Important Notes:
* Trade Evolutions: Some Pokemon evolve through trading. If you trade a Pokemon that can evolve through trading, it will evolve once the trade is complete.
* Compatibility: Not all Pokemon are compatible between versions. You can only trade Pokemon that are available in both Pokemon Crystal and the other player's game.
