Man, I can't wait to get a Slaking. I mostly only battle with my girlfriend, so I know it'll create riotous moments. I'm thinking Typhlosion, Milotic, Gardevoir, Hariyama, Slaking, and Crobat will be my crew when it's all said and done. Think they're awesome looking! Love, friendship, Pokemon and all that!
I'm now 15 badges/50 hours in. I think the most fun I've been having with this game is switching my party whenever the whim strikes me and not worrying about balance/power.
As a result, the number of Pokemon I've had in my party over the course of the game is pretty big (brackets is level I kicked them out):
Exeggcute (17)
Ledian (18)
Vulpix (20)
Slowpoke (20)
Pidgeotto (24)
Beedrill (26)
Onix (26)
Nidoking (34)
Magmar (40)
Feraligatr (40)
Pupitar (45)
Magneton (49)
Espeon (51)
And current party:
Togekiss (53)
Starmie (52)
Mismagus (51)
Honchkrow (51)
Ampharos (51)
Mawile (19)
I kind of recommend that people take a stab at playing Pokemon with a really dynamic party. It's a whole different kind of game; the fact that I'm constantly giving half my experience to a new party members keeps my party low level and the game challenging. It's really fun.

Haven't played Pokemon since Gameboy Color and I'd like to get back into it (I just got a DSiXL). What's the best DS version to start with out of Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart/Gold, Silver and why? Skip to Gold/silver or D/P/P first?
Get the version you played back in the day, and if you're still feeling like more, go for Platinum.MomoPufflet said:
Unless you have a craving need for a completely new single player quest, in which case the answer is obvious. If I were in your place I'd look for a game that can ease me into the huge amount of new features with a main quest I'm familiar with.

I only have my one from the start, haven't looked into/got a clue how to do the breeding stuff yet.
Yeah, you'll be darn fine with 'HeartGold/SuperiorSilver'...is new, it adds stuff, fixes other things..so go for it.MomoPufflet said:
What you did, was my original plan...but I just couldn't wait for the DSiXL, even though I had it preordered..and had the game just looking at me with it's fatty booklet..so got a regular (silver) DSlite.
Get a Ditto..+ your Cyndaquil = Cyndaquil Egg(s)MikeDub said:
MikeDub said:
You can breed at the Day Care Center. Just put in Cyndquil and any compatible pokemon or a Ditto and a egg will have a chance of being formed every 250 steps. Talk to the Day Care Man when he is facing the road and he will give you an egg. I can give you a Ditto if you don't have one. Starter pokemon are the currency of the GTS so its good to have a few handy.

If you could throw me a ditto that would be great, not having much luck finding one right now
Also..
Is there a line..or waiting list around here to get a 'Pikachu colored Pichu'?
I mostly want it for the Ilex Forest thingie, to get the Spike-haired Pichu..but I'm barely after the first badge, just waiting for the Yellow Forest thing to get a few Pikachus to continue playing...

pfft got 51 in pennant and 84 in snow roll. The pennant capture record was a bitch though...Gravijah said:
I'm trying to remember what the requirements are for a newborn Pokemon to reach the breedable stage. Isn't it some combination of level * time spent in the party?
I've got a level 1 hatched Growlithe that I want to breed with something to shift some moves around.

All pokemon that can breed can do it at all levels.

I would absolutely love to play the game with a Pikachu. I don't care if it's a level one. Nostalgia is awesome and I want one, lol.

This game owes me so much...I lost the stylus I've had since the launch of the DSPhat...
EDIT: What the what. I'll never find a shiny, never ever. I'm surprised the game doesn't make the Red Gyrados blue, just for me. I've never ever ever ever seen one, and I've been playing Pokemon since 1997. HATE

I'd love one if you haven't gone on a releasing rampage. I don't have much to offer in return, sadly. Need a cyndaquil or totodile?

Kinda...if a Pikachu holds a Light Ball, it's ATK and SPATK is doubled. I ran a Pikachu for a while during DP...it was like
Energy Ball/Thunderbolt(Volt Tackle)/Substitute/Hidden Power Ice
Still, if I could get it set up, it was great...but Pikachu is really fragile.

Bear with me, I've never traded Pokemon before or even really used my DS online. I'm in the Wifi Plaza Room, but I don't really know what to do from here.Nayishiki said:
Nevermind, I found the Wifi Club room now. Will you just show up when you come in?

1. Luck, run into the right streams of flags, so that you don't run around and waste time. 2. You'll get all flags collected when returning to the line even if there isn't time enough to count them.Gravijah said:HOW?! I hate it
Same here man. Never seen one, and I've been playing for a long time.jdogmoney said:
I did get a couple shinys through the PokeRadar chain, but that is so easy and it wasn't for me anyway, that they really don't count. It's as if I hacked them in.
I would really like to see a legitimate, ONE IN EIGHTY ONE HUNDRED AND NINTY TWO shiny. And it's not like I want something rare or that unlucky - all I want is a shiny, sparkling Zubat that will become a fabulous pink Crobat. It won't count if I breed international Pokemon, either, I don't want that.
