Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
actually there are roms you can download that permit trading to other people with the same rom as long as you have internet ^^; i've seen it done with R/B
I am a voice on smogon's battle server Pokemon Showdown and i am a big LC player there... I'm trying to become a LC tutor on smogon :) and i like to be social with other people who play pokemon of course... i've played pokemon since RBY gen 1... umm... i'm still not used to this site as far as the forums go but I'm gradually getting used to it
