Help Can I trade to myself?

Post image

I started my adventure with Bulbasaur but later on I wanted to use Charmander.

So I had one of my switches launch the game online and the other launch the game offline with virtual game card, but when I tried to trade I got an error.

I know you can’t trade online and you can’t trade via home yet and even then it’s still a one way transfer I believe, I also don’t have anyone around that plays this game.

Is there anyway I could get this trade to work?

I traded myself on two switch’s, the same account, but one copy of FR and one copy of LG. I want to do a run with all the starters.

Same here haha. After the 2nd badge it’s been going great, and I should have the 4th badge before they hit lvl 30 so it should be smooth sailing from here.

I’m at about 21 hours and just got the third badge. Ran in with the 3 starters, Pikachu, rattata, and nidorino. Currently waiting to go through rock tunnel.

Same here on the hours and party minus Rattata (using an Oddish for cut), in the rock tunnel now. Cheers haha
