Ralts in Pearl without Ndex?

It's feeding time
I borrowed a friend's Pokémon Emerald today, and he allowed me to send the level four Ralts in it to my Pokémon Pearl, but I was hit by the fact it isn't in the National Dex, so can I send it to my Pokémon Pearl without the National Dex?
 
Yes, the National Dex is not required for non-Sinnoh Dex Pokémon to be transferred. Don't worry, I transferred loads before I ever got the National Dex (Which was, in fact, today!).

... I have no idea what you just said. Reword for clarity?

The nationaldex is required for transferring through Pal Park -- which sounds like what you're trying to do -- but if you can get it transferred on another file, you can trade it over w/o the Nationaldex.
 
Um... you do not need the National Dex to possess a non-Sinnoh Dex Pokémon. Any better?
 
You don't need the Ndex to have them, but obviously you don't get a dex entry or dex number. I once sent a Gallade into my friends game before she got the Ndex, so...
 
Thank god, thanks everybody.
But I don't get how to trade it over, do I need two Nintendo DS, or can I use one DS and one GBA?
 
You need to transfer the Ralts to a game that DOES have the NDex (Else you won't be able to access Pal Park) and trade it from that one to yours.
 
What we meant is you don't need it on the game you intend to send it to. Maybe your friend, if he has D/P (Or even Pt) could transfer the Ralts to his Gen 4 game, and the trade that to you. Unfortunately it's the only way until you get your National Dex.

My case is like this:
I have a Ralts on a gen 3 game.
I want to send it to my gen 4 game.
I don't have the national dex on any of them.

I need a Ndex to send it over from one game to another in this case anyway?
 
You need a National Pokédex to be able to get a Ralts from a third-generation game to a fourth-generation game, which is done through the Pal Park (not by trading). You can, however, trade Ralts (and anything else) freely between two fourth-generation games, even if they don't have the National Pokédex.

Thus, you could get a Ralts onto your game if it came from another fourth-generation game, but not directly from a third-generation game. If you had access to a fourth-generation game with the National Pokédex, you would be able to first migrate the Ralts from the third-generation game to the fourth-generation game with the National Pokédex and then trade it to the fourth-generation game without the National Pokédex. If you don't, it is impossible to get that Ralts onto your game.

This is what I've been trying to say. Apologies if I wasn't clear enough, Male Gardevoir.
 
It's OK, I at least understand now, it's a shame I don't know anyone with a D/P, and I don't have any wi-fi connector either. :/
I'll have to wait for Platinum then. T^T
 
Or until you get the National Dex~

You only have to see all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex - not catch them.
