Its not letting me go on to Victory Road until I do this Ho-oh stuff. Ive gotten as far as letting the girls summon him down and then flying back to new bark but Lyra still says "where do you think your going" to me. Is it really forcing me to fight a pokemon that i have little chance of catching? I dont want to kill it

You can kill it for experience points and catch it later. It respawns after you beat the E4. Stats and nature won't be set either.

Yeah, letting yourself die without resetting the game to a save is a weird feeling (for me, at least), but I've get to level up before I can get through them.ivysaur12 said:

I feel abit bad that my Ursaring and Sneasel are wrecking shit.
I got to Vermillion and Ursaring can pretty much OHKO people with Slash at level 47 and now hes got sleep/sleep talk Hes at 100% hp kicking ass and taking names unconscious oh yeah and he has Earthquake :lol
Sneasel is stupidly fast and just ice shards people to death. I feel bad for my other pokes stuck at 40>33.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
I noticed in the Viridian Gym that Tauros can learn Surf. Thought that was kind of weird.
Anyway, has anybody noticed that they changed how the roaming legendaries' run away? In previous games, if your lead Pokemon was slower than the roamer, then the roamer would run away before you could do anything to it. In HGSS it seems that you're guaranteed to get one turn on them even if you're slower. My Sudowoodo shouldn't be outspeeding anything but it got a hit in on Raikou before it fled.
EDIT: Someone tells me I'm mistaken on this. Will have to check later.

Victory road only needs Strength unless you count it from New bark Town all the way to the E4.
The actually V road is just a cave with rocks, oh apart from rocksmash that helps you get a TM if memory serves.

So where's the closest place you can revive fossils? Pewter City? I just got a Helix Fossil from Alph Ruins. I wanted a Dome Fossil cause Kabutops is better than Omastar but it turns out it's SS exclusive.
For anyone that missed out on the flare blitz, morning sun, sunny day growlithes:
I have about 20 males left and a handful of females.
The best time to get this going will be Tuesday, as I'm at work all weekend. Tuesday is completely free, so PM me and ill add you.
I'll gladly take any pokemon that anyone has bred moves onto as well. Trash pokes are fine too if you just want a BA growlithe

Rock Smash the rocks in the ruins and you have the chance to encounter a pokemon or get an item.Echoes said:
Currently at work for the next 4 hours. I get off at the same time all weekend, so theere is some time ill be able to get on briefly. Tonight I'm going out with friends though...Echoes said:Where do you get fossils exactly? In the area (that needs surf) with 4 or 5 rocks, in the Ruins of Alph?
And yeah I think Pewter City is the only place to revive them.
Edit: Unicorn, I won't be available at Tuesday
I got all my Synchronizers out of the Game Corner after buying Porygon. 4000 coins for every nature you'd ever need.
Though I suspect I only need a few of them. Aside from Modest, Timid, Jolly, Adamant and Bold (which I keep for my own, rule-screwing purposes) which ones should I keep?

You dont really need Flash for anything else besides the cave.

What should you know?
- It gets better. Way better. You may find the first couple of hours a bit slow, but that's because the game has to start somewhere and you'll be dealing with some pretty low-level Pokes. Once you reach Azalea Town (second badge) things pick up incredibly quickly and you'll soon be hit in the face with just how much content this game is going to throw at you.
I'm at 35 hours now and I'm only halfway through the campaign, and even after you're done with all the single-player there is an infinite amount of playing to do if you want to make the best Pokemon team through breeding and trading and raising, plus there are mini-games like the Bug Catching contest, Pokeathalon, Game Corners, and all sorts of other stuff.
Also, as far as tips goes, try to make the most diversified team as possible. Don't JUST use your starter Pokemon (Quilava) as you make your way through the game, because if you run into a Pokemon that is strong against it (Ground Types/Water Types) they'll wipe out your Pokemon with little effort.
A good starter team should have something like a Fire Type, Grass Type, Water Type, Rock/Ground Type, Electric Type, Psychic Type, or something like that. But play around and find what Pokemon you like best.
Keep in mind you can find more on your Pokewalker.
Off you go!
I gave it to my bastard Entei. It's a good accuracy-reducer move I suppose.
First Pokemon game here and I got the whole "use a skill thing on a Pokemon to light up the cave" and I still haven't yet because I'm crazy that I'll use it on a Pokemon that sucks. What do I do?
Your best option is to find a Pokemon you can teach as many HM moves to as possible (aka "HM Slave") Or catch a duplicate of a Pokemon that can learn it and use that.
Keep in mind, later in the game, you will be able to force a Pokemon to forget HM moves if you need it.

TM70 Flash is 1000 pokedollars at the department store in goldenrod city.
Wow, you know, I'm curious as to what made you buy this, and why did you ignore the series until now?depward said:
Of course this is valid for everyone who said it's their first Pokémon game.
But seeing as how "Gold/Silver" is still the best Pokémon game imo, and this is an enhanced remake... you are in for a damn good experience.
Don't bother with Flash for the moment: there's not much you can explore in the cave yet.depward said:First Pokemon game here and I got the whole "use a skill thing on a Pokemon to light up the cave" and I still haven't yet because I'm crazy that I'll use it on a Pokemon that sucks. What do I do?
just FYI, you can buy copies of TM70, which teaches flash, in Goldenrod City
