all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Groudon was surprisingly easy to catch. He rests (so automatic SLP stat) and heavy ball = easy catch.

Yep finally got whitney down.
For anyone wondering, I used a slowpoke, spammed curse when I was on the clefairy so it would have insane defence, then used a combination of yawn, confusion and a super potion to finish it off. Geez, it was almost as bad as beating brock's onix in pokemon yellow. xD

Really? You could in the originals.
For those just getting their games and are new to their pokewalkers be careful! Don't make the same mistake I did and send a pokemon on a stroll if it'll learn a move in it's next level. I sent my lv9 Cyndaquil on a stroll and when it came back and grew 1 level it did not learn ember, the only fire move it will learn for the next 9-10 levels.:lol
I would have been assed out against Bugsy's Sycyther if it wasn't for Magby.

Safari zone, that's about all you can do.
I went fuck it, hacked my Platinum cart to restock rare candies and leveled the mofos up quicker. Screw waiting around. And I hear Kanto doesn't raise the levels or EXP given either, disappointing, more so since you can't rebattle trainers continuously like you could with the VS seeker in D/P/P.

Did you trade the Red Scale (from the Shiny Gyarados) with Mr. Pokémon to get a Exp. Share? :S

No, the roaming legendaries have a set nature when you start the game.

Yeah, I totally forgot that if you send the Pokémon out in battle, or if you don't even have it out in a double battle, it gains double experience.
I have another question with the Pokéwalker, if anyone could answer it would be great. Let's say I do so many steps, go to catch a Pokémon, but it's the wrong one in the group. If I transfer my Pokémon back to the game, and put another on all in the same day. Will my steps still count towards the rarer Pokémon/Higher Grouped Pokémon?
Edit: Never mind! Magby is mine! Wonder if the number of steps carries over between courses?

Well... my first Elite Four run was a failure... The difficulty really went up.

This might have been mentioned already, but I just noticed that in the Stats summary of a Pokémon, you can see which stat is affected by its Nature. My Onix has a Hasty Nature (Spd+, Def-), and on the stat screen I can see that Defence has a blue drop shadow, and Speed has a red drop shadow. Very neat and very useful! Now I don't have to print out another Nature table like I do each time a new Pokémon game comes out. :lol
Gah, can't beat Bugsy's Scyther
Current team:
Hasty Magby lv15
Jolly Slowpoke lv16
Timid Bayleef lv21 (shiny)
Magby always gets 2HKOed by Quick Attack, and only does about 1/3 with Ember. Slowpoke gets OHKOed by U-Turn, and Bayleef can't really do much to it with Tackle or Razor Leaf. I think I might have to do some grinding
EDIT: Oh, and I've only been called by Joey once so far. How often does he normally call?

While I personally don't like Geodude, Scyther is 4x weak to rock, so all it takes is a low level rock throw to take his Scyther out.

Not seeing this at all. Where are you seeing this specifically? All the drop shadows are gray for me..
So whats the deal with Hidden Power? I've never messed with IVs in general, but it seems like it would be fucking impossible to get the right Hidden Power type that would also be powerful. Hidden power electric on the charizard I want to train would be nice, but I'm not prepared to spend twenty hours trying to get one fucking move right
Is there some trick to this or is it really as difficult as it seems?

Is this worth picking up considering I played the crap out of the original Silver version? I'm in the mood for a pokemon game since I haven't played one for years.
Should I pick up Platinum instead?

On simulators getting a proper hidden power type/power is relatively easy. In game, you can pretty much forget it. I'm sure it's possible, since you can breed anything if you want to put enough time in, but it's probably not worth it.

Pokemon > Summary > Press Right to get the the Stats Screen (Stats on top, Moves on bottom). I only noticed it when switching between Pokemon (Up/Down), so try focusing on the Stats (The names, not the numbers) and switch between some Pokemon. I took a picture with my phone camera, but since it's such a subtle difference (The shadow is only a pixel thick) it is quite difficult to see. It's definitely there, though.

I'm an idiot-- I was looking at the numbers, not the actual word for the stat. That's handy.
Try Smogon; it's generally a good source for info on competitive play and advanced mechanics. It's pretty tough to get the hang of, but if you're planning to go competitive (and don't want to hack), or just want to get a few shinies, then it's worth it.Echoes said:
Also, Magby's Flame Body burned Scyther as it went down. Time to stall it with Bayleef's Reflect :lol

What? Should I not accept peoples phone numbers? Nothing good comes out of it?Pikachao said:
Some of the boards are impossible to win by logic, actually most of the boards seem to be about luck. I have been using this Voltorb Flip Helper. It does really well up until level 4 for me, but I haven't passed that level using this helper. Still, I have about 2,000 coins out of playing levels 1-3 a bunch of times.Colkate said:
Just a heads up to anyone who is interested, there is a new Pokedex app on the iPhone/iPod Touch and as a launch deal it is only $0.99 or 59p. I have like £28 of iTunes credit so I decided to get it and seems pretty cool.
It gives you basic info on a Pokemon such as type, height, weight, a description, base stats and more important info such as what levels it learns moves and evolves. The description says that the creator is going to add egg moves and TM/HMs that a Pokemon can learn soon. Notably though, the app is missing what abilities Pokemon can have and it is also missing HGSS exclusive level up moves, but there are so few of them that it isn't a big deal.
Here are some screenshots I took of all the info it gives you on a Pokemon:
General Info
Stats
Moves

Do the starter Pokemon you you choose after beating all 16 gyms come with more moves than usual? I got a level 5 Bulbasaur off the GTS that has Solarbeam already, and it originated in "Kanto." Think it is hacked?

In the city with Sprout Tower, don't remember the name of it, there's a guy who will trade an you an Onix for a Drowsee. There is a patch of grass just south (?) of the city that has Drowzees. Easy-peasy.Wichu said:Gah, can't beat Bugsy's Scyther
