I've been kind of putting off playing for the last few days. I'm at the 8th gym but I'm pretty underleveled. I have one 37 and the rest of my team is 32-33. Where's the best place to grind?

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Will anyone be around for a trade in a little bit? I want to transfer a party of six from Plat to HG in a few minutes and need a 3rd party to do it.
EDIT: Wait, duh. Suicune isn't technically a roamer. It can be synced.
Late answer, but no. The roamers cannot be Synchronized.Dogenzaka said:

I'd go with Geodude. If you get a male one you can breed Earthquake onto so many things without having to use your TM 26. Onix doesn't learn EQ naturally.
I'm finally getting close to the Eevee I want, but Goddamn is it an involved process. I want an Umbreon that knows Curse and Wish, but nothing in Eevee's egg group learns Wish naturally. So I had to raise my Togepi to Level 28, catch a male Smeargle and then get into a double battle so Smeargle could sketch it. Then off to the Safari Zone for a Haunter that knows Curse, level up Smeargle so it learns Sketch again. Repeat the double battle, only the only double battle around had Pokes too strong for my Level 20ish subjects, so I hadto keep resetting until I could put them to sleep long enough to do what I wanted to do. Then go and catch a Sassy or Careful Ditto, breed it with my Eevee until I get a female Careful or Sassy Eevee (which took forever), then breed that Eevee with the Smeargle.
After a few rotations of baby to parent I'm finally getting relatively consistently well-IV'd Eevees, so I hope it's all over soon. Umbreon's lucky he's as awesome as he is, otherwise I would have given up long ago.

Holy shit.matrix-cat said:
Pokemon is so much more involved since I last played it.
I believe Yellow was the last version of Pokemon that I bought/played... I have Soul Silver now and am just getting into it (3 Badges). Some of this stuff quite honestly does not make any sense to me. Sketching Pokemon? 'Breading Earthquakes'... My god I need to take some time to learn all of this stuff.
Side Note - I am loving every minute of Soul Silver so far... I am surprised that they are re using old spaces though? like Goldenrod City, etc.
It's not really that complicated as far as breeding goes. The male parent passes his moves to the child (specific ones are in Bulbapedia's list). Smeargle has only one attack he can learn, Sketch, that is permanently changed to the last attack inflicted on him. So he uses a male Smeargle to pass all the moves to his eggs and that way he won't have to waste TMs.Devin Olsen said:

Umm... SoulSilver is a remake of Silver version, which, along with Heartgold and the original Gold, is the only other game with GoldenRod.
After you finish Jhoto you DO get to go to Kanto (the world map from yellow) which was part of the original Silver as well.
If you want all new locations than you should pick up Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

Oh shit... I was completely un aware of that.Inferno313 said:
I guess I have played some of Gold then, since I am recognizing cities like Goldenrod... I do not think I finished it though.
Well don't I look like an ass :lol
Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Hmmm, anyone know how much the Pokewalker effects happiness? I'm wondering how long I need to keep my Togepi in.

If you want to raise a Pokémon's happiness before a certain level, just make him fight, let him get hurt and escape. Then, heal him with potion (or Lemonade, better) and repeat until the happiness checker NPCs tell you it's very happy and loves you. After that, you have to keep trying, heal him a couple of times, level him up and see if it evolves. If he doesn't soft-reset and heal him more times.
That's how I evolved my Eevee into Umbreon being it level 14.
Edit: You can check here how to raise happiness

I can't get the trade thing to work. 
You have our condolences =( Never even seen a shiny...Animatik said:
On a lighter note though, HG is really doing it for me. Started it at the weekend with my bud who got SS, and we've been plodding through reminiscing and feeling like good old times.
Got all these awesome games lined up to finish/play (Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed 2, Brutal Legend), not to mention all the other greats that have come out this year; yet they're all taking a backseat to pure nostalgia and simplicity.
I play and translate games at work everyday, and have recently become a bit burnt out on all the glitz and glamour of recent titles. Coming home to something like Pokemon is just what I need to wind down. Never get stressed (even at Whitney's Miltank!) and always rewarding.
Also, the Pokewalker has to be one of the greatest inventions of mankind to date. Naturally I pop something in everyday, and usually get home with a few items, sometimes a new Pokemon, and always a level up. The other day I managed to catch a Ponyta while taking a sneaky dump... this thing seriously rocks!
Oh, and I dunno about anyone else, but I'm pretty hooked on Voltorb Flip. Not sure what we're missing from the versions that have slot machines and stuff, but it's a great little way to get some extras.
I thought it was all about luck at first, but after taking some time with it, I've got it locked down. Some serious intelligent anime stereotype shit going on as I focus on the logical, measured approach to my Pokepals :lol
Surprised my mate the other day with a Dratini. He was all like "motherfucker! Where did you find her!?" Blinded that suckaduck with some Dragon Rage.
That's my rather longwinded gush over. Thanks for reading if you can be bothered - hope ya'll can relate!

I am having no luck catching Ditto. Are they only available after the National Dex? I have been running around on route 34 and 35 for hours now with no luck.

Does anybody have a Charmander they would be willing to trade? I don't have much because I just started playing. I tried with somebody here earlier and for some reason it wouldn't work.

Metroid I would love a spare Ditto if you could. I am at work for the next 6 hours I'll pm you when I am available if that is alright.

That would be most helpful. I'll PM with my FC when I get home.xSL4INx said:
What's the best way to grind for Battle Points? 3BP per 7 trainers is not that good.
And I still don't know how to let my Mom buy me things. I give her lots of money, but she only called m once, like, 40 hours ago in the game. Tried going into several Poke Marts but I couldn't see any delivery man.

Fight the Tower Tycoon (battle 21). He gives you 20 BP. Then, lose on 22 (or end your streak some other way), and you can fight him again. You'll end up getting 26 BP for every 21 trainers.Echoes said:
Alternatively, find a friend and do co-op; not only is it great fun, but you get boosted Battle Points (7, I think). It's a bit slow, though.

Just a bit, I had just started to ev train and breed for natures on there for the GAF tournament, but oh well. I am at the elite four on silver so I should be able to start again pretty soon. Might have to do a one pokemon speed run on Diamond and learn the pokeradar chaining trick to get back my blue Gallade, I could never get more than 5 on that thing X).
Anyway, I racked up nearly 17000 steps on my Pokéwalker today. It's still going to be a while before I unlock all the courses
I still can't seem to get a Dratini on the Blue Lake course; I keep getting Poliwag despite having tried three times (as in, moved a Pokémon off and on to the walker 3 times)
My shiny Bayleef evolved into a shiny Meganium, and my Slowpoke is going to evolve into Slowbro very soon. Magmar's not evolving any time soon without a Magmarizer. Shiny Entei is still running around Johto, albeit at very low health after being Surfed 4 times by Slowpoke. My mother's sent me several useful items, including a Choice Scarf (where does she buy those things?). And finally, I am now the proud owner of an RNGed shiny Eevee from Bill. It took a few tries, but was worth it (Jolly 31/31/31/0/31/31)

What? I thought their health regenerated after every encounter...
Damn it! This is news to me. I guess I'll start chipping at Raikou now. :lol

I leveled my Charmander to 20 in like 15 minutes. :lol What level will evolve to Charizard? 25, 26?

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH, motherfucker! Got me an Umbreon! Or at least a Careful Eevee with IVs of 29/24-25/29/30-31/30-31/10-11. The crappy speed actually works in my favour becuase it's going to be a Cursebreon with Assurance (hits for double the damage if the Pokemon is hit first that turn). I'm a little upset about the Attack, but fuck it; I'm done. I actually got a really good potential Flareon while I was at it.
Now let's get this bitch evolved. Morning is at 6am in HGSS, right? I've got three and a half hours and I've already given it a haircut :lol
