its hard to explain.. lemme try again

person w/ HG/SS and national dex, so they can trade with other people with HGSS, even if the other person doesn't have the national dex.
Now say the ND person trades a mr mime holding the insense that gets mime jr. and the nonND person has a mr mime already. would breeding them get a mime jr? i would assume that the only thing stopping a person from getting a mime jr before the ND would be having the insenses only attainable after the national dex.

Well in Dppt, any pokemon in the national dex received before actually getting the national dex was still available for you to use, the place where it says its number in the dex was "???" though.

EDIT: Woops I didn't read josh's post

But in FRLG, you were totally prevented from getting pokemon that weren't around at the time. I remember my golbat began to evolve due to hapiness, but it stopped, with the whole"huh?" thing. Does anybody remember if RSE pokemon were tradable into FRLG through another FRLG cart before one of the players got the national dex?
