Note to self: Going back to Pokemon with the same Obsessive-Compulsive habits I had as a kid is still nightmarish as ever. Hell, I spend more time staring at serebii/bulbapedia spreads than playing the game itself!

But in all seriousness, picked this up yesterday after a certain "spark". Haven't really gotten into the series since Ruby/Sapphire and this generation was my favorite out of the three. Played some of Diamond, but I got bored of it. I'm just before Falkner and I already have my Johto team mapped out (I'm thinking Feraligatr, Golem, Heracross, Jolteon, Houndoom, and Xatu, all pokes that I never used before in prior titles). This is definitely a trip down nostalgia lane and I'm actually having fun with this so far.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I made a simple EV calculator in Excel just to keep track of my EV training, as I forgot how many I've done and such. If anyone would be interested in using it, feel free to ask.

So, decided to pick this up because I have spare DS games to trade in. Surprisingly I was lured in by the Pokewalker, damn thing seems so awesome to me.

Aw man, found it in the washer, definitely FUBARed.

Loved it at first, was catching all kinds of Pokemon. Lately though, Wobbuffet has been complaining that I'm not walking enough and I was growing bitter.

Now, the Pokewalker's broken and I don't know what to do with myself. Get another one or live without it.

There will be many other events down the line for the Pokewalker, I would say getting another is a must.

This for single player, right?

I used a Houndoom on my Platinum run and it my set for it was Nasty Plot, Will-O-Wisp, Flamethrower and Dark Pulse. I think you took it too much to the physical side where it's weaker.

Damn, I'm starting to get addicted yet again. My main gripe with the series: They kept bringing out newer variations way too fast. My 'older' games would be deemed 'moot' or 'invalid' so to speak :(

This time I said fuck it. I loved the G/S games, a remake with all the newest pokemon is going to be my curse :lol

So far, I got all all the G/S starters and the D/P starters thanks to my girlfriend restarting her Platinum save over and over and trading :D We bred all the G/S/D/P starters for eachother now!

The one thing I hate is that alot of legendary pokemon are event, or only to be gotten through trading with GBA games, which is impossible for me. Anyone know of some other methods?

And is there a cloning method for the legendary who can't be bred?

Actually a ton of legendaries now are available only through the DS games (I think all of them). And rest assured that even if you don't get the event-only legendaries, you'll still get the certificate of getting all the Pokemon (the star on the trainer card).

I was looking at serebii.net and apparently celebi, deoxys, and those awesome pokeymans are event only, and they were events for the GBA games, I think.

All those had events for the DS too, Deoxys was available at Gamestop a while back.

Also, for sure, Celebi will be available in the future. They made her available in Japan after HGSS came out there, and it unlocked a special thing in the game, so they have to release her here too.

Yeah, there will be something with Celebi that ties in with the shrine.

Can I be an exception, for a shiny Shuckle? Because I already have a shiny Charmander :p

Sorry better stick to the original plan or people will get upset in one way or another.

Though with an extra Shiny Charizard you can pretty much trade it into anything :D

It hasn't yet. ;) It will probably come about as a tie-in with the movie that comes out this summer.

How would you go about getting a Pokemon with perfect IVs legitimately, exactly? Is it pure, dumb luck?

I still have an Elekid (bred) from Pt with perfect IVs, but not the best nature (lol fml) and I don't even know how it happened like that. I was only going for attack.

In breeding, the mother passes down the ability, right?

I have a male Aerodactyl with Pressure. I want a Jolly Aerodactyl with Pressure. I must breed a Ditto (Jolly) holding an Everstone, and hoping the egg will hatch a Jolly Pressure, right? Or must the Aerodactyl be female for a Jolly Pressure?

There's no way to control abilities outside of RNG tweaking.

You have a 50/50 shot at Natures with an Everstone, and a 50/50 shot at Abilities always (for those Pokemon who have 2 Abilities). If you collect 5 eggs at once then the odds are you'll have 1 Pokemon with the combination you want.

Uh huh, great. Can I ask for a Jolly Ditto? If you don't mind.

Ugh, just got beat at fight #148 in the Battle Hall. Was crusing along pretty good, working on Bug type with just Fire and Electric types to go which in all likelyhood wouldn't have been a problem for my Garchomp.

I just had a close call with counter Forretress that my focus sash saved me and next out is Yanmega which shouldn't have been a big deal but the AI played me perfectly, I went 1st and used outrage which wasn't enough for the OHKO but unfortunately enough for pinch berry range. Yanmega got a Petaya boost then hit me with a boosted bug buzz which was enough to take me to less then 50% health then it got the speed boost so it went 1st and took me down with the next attack. Had I used a less powerful move than Outrage on the 1st turn I probably would have beaten it. Another option would have been to use Stone Edge but I don't like the accuracy of that move (or lack thereof) for use in the battle frontier.

Ah well, maybe I'll get bug types out of the way earlier on my next attempt.
