You have a party of 6 pokemon. And that is your team.
As for the question about trading.
When I was a kid, everyone traded pokemon with each other, and it was a huuuuuge part of the game experience since it was so social. People aslo battled against each other a lot. I always battled my brother after we had beaten a gym in our repective games, like a real life rival xD
So yes, trading (and battling) with people increases the fun of the games exponentially. However, in the state that the series is currently in, it would be hard to trade and battle with people nowadays.
You should try playing pokemon. The games have a kiddy stigma on them, but the gameplay goes beyond age. The first playthrough is always the most memorable. Catching your first wild pokemon, watching them evolve for the first time, beating that pesky first gym leader, it's great fun. |
Why is it hard to trade/battle Pokemon now? And how does one 'trade' with someone else?
|
It's hard because less people play pokemon. You used to trade by hooking up to Game Boy Color to each other, and today you trade by using the DS wireless connection. I don't know anyone besides me who still play pokemon anymore, so unless Nintendo have incorporated some kind of online arena/trading center, I can't trade/battle anymore :(

They do, the Global Trade Station where you can search for pending offers or make an offer. The trading doesn't happen live, you deposit the pokemon when you make an offer, the person who accepts the offer makes the trade, then you pick up the pokemon they traded for.
