You might not be able to trade from D/P until after beating the Pokemon League. It was like that in FR/LG, but I'm sure you can do that for Kanto.

No, you can trade after a certain point early in the game, and that doesn't make sense, that's saying that you couldn't trade at all in the game before Elite 4.

In FRLG you were able to trade over pokemon but not evolve them if they weren't in the Kanto dex. That was the dick move they pulled.
