Cool. I got my fancy Pichu, although it's level 30. Since I've been out of the Pokemon thing for a while, is there anything on the Wii I can download to transfer my Pearl Pokemon to my HeartGold without using another DS?

Is something wrong with my Pokewalker? I'm using it for the first time, and I tested it by shaking it a bit, but it isn't recording each shake as a step, like my old Pocket Pikachu 2 did. It just seems to erratically add a whole bunch of steps to the total every so often.
It waits a bit before calculating the steps. I guess to counterbalance if you stop walking, then continue so you don't get a bunch of notes saying "pikachu walked 15 steps. pikachu took a short break. pikachu walked 30 steps. etc"Ben2749 said:
Also, update on the growlithes:
Growlithe is about 44 now, so after school tonight I'll continue training and hopefully start the breeding tonight with the flare blitz/morning sun/sunny day babies.
Still looking for a Lucky Egg... or some rare candies.:lol

You can't just shake it to get a ton of steps, it won't work. When I shake it though, I hit it down, like onto my thigh or couch, and then it counts them.

I remember trying to get a Lucky Egg... No luck. :lol I'd like to call dibs on one of those FB/MS/SD babies though.

I don't think you are. You only have Pryce, and Claire left before the E4. You'll be at about the right level.

Nope. DS to DS only, or you could connect to somebody via wifi and do the lengthier process of trading to him and then switching your game, logging in again and trading back (requires some sacrificial pokemon, of course)

Aw... Well, if I'm gonna trade and trade back via Wifi, then I'm gonna wait to do one of the trade evolutions.
And it hurts so, so much. Speaking as someone who transferred about 200 of those between two DSs (my awesome friend caught 300 Bidoofs for me *tear*) and still has 400 to go.Crazymoogle said:
What gives me strength is my OCD, the thought of having my Pokedex on my Platinum save file (that is not corrupt for some whatever fucking reason). And the break from school before my finals.

Some Pokémon get abilities faster in their pre-evolution form, or they get abilities their evolved form doesn't get.Trojita said:

I just beat Bugsy and this is my current team:
Level 18 - Bayleef
Level 19 - Flaaffy
Level 10 - Togepi
Level 13 - Gastly
How's my team doing overall? Any suggestions?
My other two Pokemon are probably going to be Espeon/Umbreon and Mamoswine.

I just did this with Nayishiki, thanks again for your help pal. We only transferred 6 pokemon though, some essentials for my run through of Gold to support my team: Bidoof for HM slavery, Piplup for my water support, Staravia (cus Pidgey sucks) my shiny Pichu and a complimentary Chimchar; and for him his set of legendaries.Crazymoogle said:
Even that took a bit of time to organize, so I can't even begin to imagine doing that shit with 200+ pokemon...at least not via Wi-Fi. :lol
Might be less painful in person.

I hope in gen 5 they let fire make a come back. Something that takes away from stealth rocks dominance.

Just checked out my pokemon's natures and I must say, I am disappointed. My Totodile has reduced Atk, my Gastly has reduced Sp Atk as does my Mareep. Now, this won't matter much in-game, but it's still somewhat annoying.
Also, is Jumpluff any good? I caught a Hoppip earlier and I think it looks kind of neat.

Jumpluff can be one of the most disruptive pokemon out there, but you might find yourself wondering if he deserves an entire slot in your team.viciouskillersquirrel said:
He can sleep powder faster than infernape can attack, he can leach seed/sub, he can status/u-turn away. He can encore a pokemon keeping them stuck on a useless attack or buff. He is useless as far as attacking goes though.
I really love jumpluff and he doesn't need egg moves to work in-game. Just be sure to know that he isn't going to be knocking any pokemon out with anything other than slow leech seeding.
If I didn't already have venusaur, I would probably have him in my team.

Another question about the Pokewalker; am I right in believing that the amount of Watts necessary to unlock new areas is unlocked with your current watts, and not from total watts ever earned? So if you use watts to find Pokemon/items, you only end up having to wait even longer before you can unlock new areas?
Also, Pokemon not learning moves after levelling up in the Pokewalker is complete bullshit. I shouldn't have to look at a guide to see if a Pokemon is due to learn a move next level, and I should always be able to use the Pokewalker whenever I feel like it without any consequences. It's supposed to be a quick, simple, and mindless way of levelling up Pokemon for when you can't play the DS game. So why should I sometimes be penalised for using it?

Unlocking is based on total watts earned.

Really? Because I spent a bunch on catching Pokemon and finding some items, and then had 3 left over. When I connected with my DS again, only 3 watts were transferred back.
Up to the ice cave. Delibird keeps dying too easy for me to catch it. Damn it. And I forget what the strength on the rocks does for the lower level, my day has been shot and I don't really feel like playing Pokeymans right now.

Yeah, I just earned 12 watts, spent 6 on the Pokewalker, and after reconnecting with my DS, only 6 watts were transferred back.
I see no reason why they couldn't have went by your total, as it's going to take long enough to unlock all the areas as it is; making us choose between it taking even longer or refrain from catching Pokemon and finding items is kind of stupid. Especially since the whole point of unlock new areas is to do those two things.
Man, whenever I watch TV from now on, I'm going to be shaking this thing non-stop, to unlock the areas as fast as possible.

Then what would be the point of collecting watts aside from using them AS you get them.Ben2749 said:
I actually think it's an ingenious idea to get us to reconsider how we spam catch pokemon on it or try to get a bunch of items.
Do you want to spend 100+ watts trying to catch a dratini instead of playing the voltorb flip game, or do you want to save them up for the next course where you'll have a chance to start nabbing rare candies from the dousing game and run into pokemon from other regions?
It give it a little depth instead of making the core game overly easy by giving you easy/early access to pokemon you wouldn't normally run into. (like kangaskhan). But it also gives kids/people the option to put effort in Real Life to get a sort of accomplishment in the game. Sort of defeats that purpose if it just gives you both...

CcrooK said:Okay. So this Poke Walker. What are the benefits of using it now? If I missed it, apologies. Just looking for a straight up answer is all.
It's a way to play a little bit of Pokemon while you're walking around.
1. Every step is worth 1xp for the pokemon you put on it, up to 1lvl worth.
2. Your pokemon also continuously gains happiness (up to the maximum)
3. You can use energy accumulated from walking to encounter wild pokemon or get items.
4. If you encounter another pokewalker user you can use the IR beam to give each of you a free item (once a day). I just got TM11 for this today, actually...
The pokewalker holds up to 3 extra pokemon and items, which you can at any time dump into your DS game to earn the rewards and free up your pokewalker to accumulate more stuff.

What's the recommended build for a Togekiss?
I've been leveling mine up and wondering what would be some good moves to use on him. Any suggestions?

Man the Pokewalker sucks at times. I got 500 watts and transferred them to my half broken DS Lite. Instead of unlocking all of the walking areas up to 500 watts, I believe 3 in total, it only unlocked the first one that requires 20 watts.
edit: nevermind, it seems you have to transfer pokemon multiple times if you have enough points to unlock more than one course. Kind of a lame waste of time.
