Managed to trade my Panpour for a lv.1 Oshawott in the GTS and it' has a goddamn nickname.

I hate nicknaming Pokemon.

Nicknamed every Pokemon caught so far. ;P

Would it be possible for someone to donate me a Snivy egg/Lv.5 Snivy, please? I don't have much to offer, though.

How do you guys have multiple starters? Buying both versions and restarting one to keep trading starters to the other?

Snivy would be great, thanks! As I say I have nothing really to offeryou, if that's ok. How do you want to do this?

The music in this one is incredible.

I love the hints of the opening theme in the regular trainer battle.

Then when you knock a gym leader down to their last Pokémon and it kicks into the main Pokémon theme as you finish the fight. So damn epic.

When do you get the bike? I have a feeling it's in
Castelia city
but I want to go level a Pokemon before fully exploring...

Starters can be bred. So you can find a lot of them on the GTS, as others have said.

The moment you enter Nimbasa city.

But even using the Internet, do you need 2 copies of the game? Since you have to trade with someone
Click to expand...
No, you just trade with other people over the GTS (Global Trade System). You can specify what you're looking for and do a search.

So in
Castelia City
, you get the choice (I presume) of a
water stone, fire stone or leaf stone
. Which should I pick and how should I use it?
(I don't want to use it on this crappy Panpour).

Appreciated!

You know, I wonder just how complex the GTS is behind the scenes. Does it try to auto match? Can it do chains of trades, doing more then one trade internally to get everyone the pokemon they want?

Out of curiousity, why is no one picking Tepig in this thread? I'm not really interested in playing the game too seriously and I picked Tepig because I like fire pokemon, did I make the wrong choice?

It's personal preference. There really isn't a wrong choice. You pick who you think is cool.

If it is like other games, you'll be able to purchase evolutionary stones later on in the game.

-edit-

On Route 5:
The maid in the kitchen-wagon offered to purchase my tinymushrooms for $500 a pop. Is that the best price for them?

How far into the game is the guy who can remove HM moves?

I picked Oshawott since I always get the Water Pokemon.

I don't know how I feel about the fact that they REALLY try and make sure that you don't get lost. You can't enter a new city or exit a gym without a character immediately approaching you or someone calling you. All the key items are basically given to you in a linear path as well, such as the bike. They did this in HGSS as well (not including the bike thing).

Man, I dunno if I should pick up this game or not. I wish I could wipe all the stuffs about the hidden stats off my mind because those aren't fun but I can't ignore them :(. Is the game worth playing just for the main story alone?

It doesn't really matter. There are tons of viable Pokemon now, so the starters aren't really as key as the used to be. Pick whatever you want. You can find good Water/Fire/Grass Pokemon early on to make up any gaps that used to exist in the early game.

Uggghhh I swear wild encounters are more common in this version. I'll walk out of a battle, take literally one step, and there's another encounter.

And how the hell do I get through the moors >_<

Well, as you've got the bike, you're already far enough to take a slight detour and head for Desert Resort and Relic Castle. Explore Route 4 to find it.

You can't really train the hidden stats effectively until you've beaten the main story anyway, so don't worry about it one bit. I'm having tons of fun with the main story.

Does running still cause more wild encounters in this game?

just curious, but out of the stuff available on the GTS, how much of it is hacked? (I am assuming the game can be hacked) Is there a downside to any of it. Has anyone had a trade from the GTS completely trash their game?

Just played through getting my starter last night (Tepig) and beating my two rivals. Still trying to get through Layton before I start on this in earnest. Nice visual bump from G4. If I understand correctly it uses the same G4 engine, just changes the view port a bit.

So far my team is:
9ew6q.png
Kojiro the Dewott
r8q1l.png
Bruce the Sawk
iYi5n.png
Eli the Whimsicott
gUGO8.png
Mr. Vile the Sandile
txnK0.png
Harland the Archen
and an empty slot.
On many occasions I've run into a spot where it would have been nice to have a fire Pokemon, as I traded away my Simisear. To bad you don't see Heatmor until late in the game, as I would totally use him.
Really enjoying the game so far.

I was going to use Victini for fun, but man that's such a waste of a space. All the cool Pokemon in the game and I'd be using a dumb legendary. Guess I'll save that spot for now.

More like Dwebble Downers.

It seems Tepig is very underutilized in comparison to the other 2 starters.

And because of that, a damn was given that day.

Why not get a Darumaka? You can find him on Route 4.

I right now have the following.

Dewott Lv. 23
Herdier Lv. 23
Roggenrola Lv. 21
Servine Lv. 21
Munna Lv. 17
Pignite Lv. 17

Thank you GTS! Though I am not sure if I am going to lug all 3 starters around with me to far.

Not Wario
So I decided I'll just enjoy the single player game as is without worrying about natures and such for the first time through, with one exception. What should I be looking for on Victini? (I figure since I can only get one I might as well make it count)
