So...where do I go after Mahogany Town? I caught Red Gyrados and beat the gym leader, but that old man still wants to sell me RageCandyBars.

Yup, I don't know why they switched it around. Though it doesn't really matter is it's so easy to trade.
Well, in the original games (before they came to the US, 1999 ish?) Teddiursa was Silver, Phanpy was Gold. They switched it around so that their colors would match the games.

Ok, thanks. Did I just miss dialogue in the Rocket base or something?
I think you get a phone call when you exit the gyn from Prof. Elm, talking about listening to the radio for a 'strange broadcast'.
 
My OCD is already starting to fuck up my enjoyment of this game. I feel obliged to level all, and I mean ALL, of my Pokémon to the same level. Even ones I probably won't use. D:

I need to work on good team.

Yikes. I get a little weird when one of my main 6 has a lower level but ALL of them? Good luck with that :lol

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu :lol
How am I supposed to get an Adamant one now ; ;

Well caught a Phanpy so not a total waste of time :)
I could either give you an adamant teddy or lend you my adamant ditto/teddy so that you could make your own.

Still running around on route 45 looking for one though, so idk how long it might take before I find one.


edit- got one!

GAME just dispatched my order.

:D
Me too bruh! I ordered one of each for myself and an old friend who's popping round for the weekend. Gonna be a good old nostalgic time, I tell thee!

He sent me a text saying 'sup Bob Catch-em. Hitting your Pokegym on Friday, so you better be ready for a fucking adventure!

Never been this pumped for something that is so way below my ESRB rating :lol
 
Oh, FUCK, I just beat Youngster Joey, and he's asking for my number. I've seen a lot of people here saying that he calls you up all the time just to babble on about his shitty Rattata. Should I say no?

No. Don't do it.

How do I delete a number?

Joey's Rattata is the reason why I dont pick up the phone anymore.

Jasmine's gym was... Interesting.

Why can't I delete numbers? Holy hell I hate the cell phone mechanism.

Where do I get a fishing lod?

Are Stantlers good at all? I'm trying to use some Pokemon that I never really used before on this playthrough and those fit the bill. I see that they can get bite as an egg move so I'm thinking of finding a way to get that onto one through my Growlithe.

Can you evolve Feebas in this game? I haven't noticed any beauty stats for pokemon so...

Yes, it's possible to evolve Feebas into Milotic. In fact, it's much easier than in past games. You just need to
go to Daisy, Gary's sister, and ask her to give your Pokemon a massage. This raises the Pokemon's happiness and beauty stat, which is a tracked but invisible stat in the game.
No need to mess with poffins and natures. To be completely honest, I just transferred my Milotic over and didn't try it myself due to the time restriction.

Stantlers can have a Frisk/Thief combo I think, which is good for getting rare wild items. Other than that, I got nothin'.

Haha, instead of getting annoyed I just like to lawl at it

And that is awesome about milotic, sounds much less painless than previous iterations

While waiting for HG/SS in the UK, I'm currently resetting a Shaymin so I can make room for the Pikachu-coloured Pichu event (I want a spiky-eared one, despite them being useless). I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so this might take a while (going for Modest, flawless HP Fire).

Fake edit: Right when I was about to post this, I got the perfect one. Modest 31/22/31/30/31/30 HP Fire 70 :D

Is there anyway to check to see if someone used a cheating device to obtain or modify their pokemon?

How do you check that?

If they've done it well, then no. However, certain hacks are detectable. The most obvious is the catch location / caught ball; for example, Palkia can only be from Sinjoh Ruins or Spear Pillar, and a Dragon Dance Tyranitar must be in a Poké Ball (as it can only be bred). Other cheats, such as illegal EVs, can be detected either by coying it to PBR (it turns into a Bad Egg), or recording a Battle Video and attempting to upload it (it will say there's a problem with your Pokémon).
If you have a method of getting your save file onto a computer, you can extract the Pokémon data and run it through a program which can detect cheats such as the shiny cheat (or careless modification of IVs).

EDIT: What do you mean by 'how do you check that'? How to check IVs?

I don't know how Toys 'R' Us checks for hacked Pokemon, I assume if you check where the person got the Pokemon and at what level and all that info, you could find out..

The phone is great. Seconds after the director thanked me for saving the radio tower and disbanding team rocket, I got a call from Sailor Huey challenging me to a rematch and saying "I promise it wont be like last time".

I LOLed. Bitch, I just single handedly destroyed Team Rocket using a bird wearing a hat. It will be exactly like last time!

Johnlenham Send me a pm when you are in the mood to wep it up, in return I would love it if you could just help me transfer 6 pokes from my platinum file.
 
Looking for someone to help me transfer three or four Pokémon from Pearl to Heart Gold. I've got a nice Piplup, Starly & the Spikey-Eared Pichu that I want to transfer over, mainly so I can have the Piplup and Starly for my run through of the main game.

Wait you can get a pokemon on the pokewalker without a pokemon in the game to catch one???????

I was walking with my pokewalker without a pokemon since my DS Lite is broken. A ! randomly appeared on the screen and when I hit a button it said "Sentret appeared and wants to join you".

Awesome :D

That actually annoys the crap out of me. On multiple occasions I have taken a Pokemon out then gone through the setup to move a new one in, and when I pick it up to make the transfer I get the message that some random Pokemon joined me. I have to back all the way out on my DS, choose to end a stroll again, then go through it selecting my pokemon/route/etc a second time.

Yea, I know. I gotta work on a team that has a good overall coverage, but it's hard so far. Plus I don't know where to grind right now. Everything is a bit too low for me.

Also, does anyone know if connecting another router to a pre-existing router will work? My router has WPA, which I don't want to change, and the stupid DS only does WEP. I want my Pichu. >=[

Bridging is unfortunately not that user friendly...maybe it could work, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with it. Temporarily changing your router to WEP is a lot easier, believe it or not. (Somebody mentioned that certain new"ish" laptops with Intel chipsets can turn your wired laptop into a broadcast point too, which would work.)

You don't even need WEP though - you could just turn off encryption altogether for a short time, or use mac filtering. I mean, security is low (MAC filtering) or nonexistent, but if you're only in that mode for an hour you're probably not going to have your connection hit by freeloaders.
