How do I trade Pokémon between two emulated generation 4 games? - Handshake Between Two People

I want to know how to trade Pokemon between 2 Emulated generation 4 games like Platinum and Heart Gold, but as far as my research showed it is only possible through GTS, which is shutdown, so I can't trade in emulators in gen-4 games.

Does anyone know a way to make it possible without faking it? (Faking it means using stuff like PokeGen or spawning the Pokémon you want to trade in a route through cheats)

Some Things to know:

  • I have a Laptop
  • I have a Phone


Best Answer

Some emulators offer connectivity features to connect to each other through means other than the internet (such as infrared or NFC, depending on the exact system you're emulating). If your emulator has this, you can use local trade. This is the same thing you'd do if you played on the original console and had a friend with theirs come over to trade.

Other than that, there is no way of legitimately trading between games which have been excluded from the GTS by now (which includes everything up to Gen VI at the time I'm writing this answer).

Yes, you can trade between family members with the Nintendo Switch version of Pok\xe9mon HOME. Please keep in mind that some Pok\xe9mon, once moved to Pok\xe9mon Sword or Pok\xe9mon Shield, can't be moved back to Pok\xe9mon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pok\xe9mon: Let's Go, Eevee!, even if the Pok\xe9mon was originally caught in those games.

Just press the options button of the emulator( the button in between L and R buttons) , and select link located with the previous one. You can either select that game or choose the another game option. ON choosing another game, you'll see a list of game present in the folder. Select the one you want to trade with.
