>>55417911You can get the National Dex before ever stepping foot in the Pokemon League, in Platinum at least. I completed the Sinnoh dex by trading with myself, and then Professor Oak showed up, I got the National Dex and pokeradar. I was even able to encounter mons that you only get by inserting GBA carts in your DS. I was able to use Pal park too. Pretty neat that the game doesn't require you to beat the Pokemon league to gain access to all that stuff.
