I've gone out and bought the new pokemon game, and I'm hoping for some help sorting this out.
According this serebii.net page, if I'm reading this correctly, each game can, without trading, collect 696 out of a possible 718 pokemon without trading (22 exclusive)?

So, as with the original Red/Blue, I have X, my friend has Y, we can complete the pokedex? Mew, Cerebii, everyone ever, we just need to trade with each other those 44 pokemon (22 each).
Is this right?
Otherwise, I have the Gen I and II pokemon and my old GameBoys, but it takes several trades (1000s) between GBAs, then all these other confusing methods, like having an original DS or DS lite and using GBA games to release pokemon into some sort of park.
Before I go on, maybe someone will know the answer to my original question, and if not, know the most common/easiest method to complete the 718 long pokedex?
