I think you spelled Houndoom wrong, because he's obviously the awesomest dog Pokemon.

I think we can all agree that the new Zorowhatever is one of the worst dog Pokémon.
And its evolution is a Mewtwo/Lucario 2.0.
Blech.

Growlithe is awesome btw, but Arcanine is even better.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Thanks for the help.

I think Blue just made a pass at me. That was awkward.

It's a fox actually I think.

Man, I'm loving this strategy for Battle Tower.

Ninjask, Swords Dance (if the foe didn't hit then SD again). When hit, it'll hung on its Focus Sash. Protect the 2nd (or if lucky, 3rd) turn. Baton Pass these gigantic stats to any physical sweeper (Drapion, Hunchkrow, Metagross). SWEEP.

Rolling through the Battle Tower now! Everything is going as planned, some times even getting the +6 attack boost But!... Fucking priority moves ruin the plan every once in a while and knocks out Ninjask just before he Baton Pass. Grrr

Edit: Shadow Sneak... Grrr!!!

Managed to beat Lance by the skin of my teeth.

 

[xenoflux2113]

You just have to receive a foreign pokemon from a trade.
btw if someone want another french pokemon this weekend just tell me because I won't be able to trade for a long time after that.

Awesome, apparently I had this unlocked awhile ago then, since my Chikorita I got off of the GTS was from Japan. Just one more thing for me to obsess over in this game.

Actually it shouldn't be that hard to do with a thread like this. Lots of international people here, and it seems like Gravijah already got all entries for Pikachu/Raichu... It's just very time consuming...

Posting this again, because it always feels fucking great to rip Palmer's team apart after all the things he did to my pokes!

My problem that I would want the entries for each and every pokemon. Well at least the Japanese entries if anything.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Blue's Gyrados is pissing me off. I ever get close to making it faint, or give it a status problem and he uses a full bloody restore. What a cheating dick.

1. Get a pokemon with Flame Armor or Body Heat(or whatever the abilities are called, Slugma and Margmar and their evolution all have it). Having a pokemon with one of these abilities in your team will cut egg-hatching time in half, and you'll need to hatch a lot of eggs, so this is a must.

2. You'll get eggs faster than they'll hatch, so you need to store them in your PC. I find the most efficient way to do this is: Magmar/Slugma is in your team so you have room for 5 eggs, once the old man calls you about a new egg(the 6th), go to the PC a deposit the 5 eggs, get the egg from the old man and ride until you have 5 eggs in your party and one waiting for you and repeat. Once I filled a box with eggs(30 eggs) I took out the Ditto and other pokemon from the daycare in order not to waste money.

3. For egg hatching/Building up steps fast. Basically ride on your bicycle all the way from the top gate in Goldenrod to down next to the daycare, up and down, everytime I have 3 hatched eggs and 2 unhatched, I go to the PC and switch the hatched pokemon with new eggs.

Good luck, you'll need it!

About the same strategy I used, except I hatched them all, 5 at a time. Then, I had 2 options from there:
1. store them in the PC, and populate my Ranch, or
2. go to PC, and release the ones that I didnt like (low IVs, etc).

Very good write-up, MK.

Also, my JPN ditto is no more. anyone have an extra/clone I could bum off ya? Will pay you with a legit shiny machop.

Now you know how the Elite 4 probably felt when you faced them :lol

 

[Mr. Sam]

I tore through the Elite Four like tissue paper. Well, actually, I know how Lance felt.

Now, Mewtwo... I already have a lv. 58 Alakazam. So, masterball or no?

No! Save it for a roamer if anything. Mewtwo is easy.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Finally caught a Scyther in the bug contest today. Its the first time I have seen him in my game. Now to make it have an adamant nature and find a Metal Coat.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Aw fuck, I only brought two dusk balls. OK, I'll just wait until my ultra ball supply is depleted...

 

[Mr. Sam]

Mewtwo is having pity on my poor Dragonite, only using Guard Swap and Amnesia. Then again, Fly hurt Mewtwo more than Psycho Cutter hurt Dragonite.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Ha! Caught him with my second Dusk Ball. One for each of his creepy mutant necks.

 

[ExtraKr1spy]

Used a level 35 weavile to weaken mewtwo and catch him.

Psycho Cut
Weavile is not affected(or w/e is said)

If only the sprite could capture the sheer terror Mewtwo must have felt at that moment.

 

[Gravijah]

Jeez, Mr. Sam use the edit button! :lol

 

[HiddenWings]

I'm not sure why the moveset wasn't altered to make Mewtwo a bit harder. Lugia & Ho-oh had their moves changed from DPP to here, but they left Mewtwo with 3 status moves and one of the worst attack moves it learns.

 

[Firestorm]

At what point in HG can I get Kyogre, Lugia, and Cresselia?

 

[Mr. Sam]

Jeez, Mr. Sam use the edit button! :lol

Sorry, was expecting people to have posted between my excitable outbursts. Excitable? Is that the word I'm-- must be. In other news, the Mewtwo sprite should hover behind me, not walk!

 

[Gravijah]

At what point in HG can I get Kyogre, Lugia, and Cresselia?

You can't.

Lugia

Spoiler

If you are playing Heart Gold, Lugia is also obtainable at the Whirl Islands, but you need to obtain the Silver Feather from a person in Pewter City. Once you have it, you can go to the bottom of Whirl Islands and Lugia will be there, this time at Level 70.

Kyogre

Spoiler

Kyogre & Groudon are both available within this game. To access them, you need to obtain the Blue Orb if in Heart Gold or the Red Orb if in Soul Silver. These orbs are found from Mr. Pokémon after you have obtained the National Dex and received the Kanto starters from Professor Oak. With these orbs in hand, you need to head to a cave in Route 47, the Embedded Tower. Traverse the cave and you will find Kyogre if you're playing Heart Gold or Groudon if you are playing Soul Silver. They are at Level 50 so be prepared. Unlike Lugia & Ho-Oh, you cannot get both Pokémon in one game so you'll have to trade to get both.

 

[Firestorm]

Don't think you can.

Ah, didn't think you could

I'm trying to plan my VGC team for if I decide to go.

Edit: Ack. A ways to go then. I just got the 8th badge.

But that confirms my theory!
The superior version is the one that sells less!

 

[JavyOO7]

I'm sorry for being out of topic but I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the Pokemon GBA games with box and manual included?

 

[SolarPowered]

The public knew exactly what they were getting with each version and chose accordingly.

On another note...Does anyone have any pokerus infected pokes that they could trade to me?

I'm still looking for the virus so that I can EV train.

The sellers on amazon are also selling old games with box/art/everything that have had their batteriess upgraded(batteries for gba games die over time) so make sure to get one with the battery replaced.

 

[sonicspear64]

Not really. Kids think Lugia is cooler than Ho-oh. It's a fact. Growing up, there were way more kids in the 3rd grade with Silver than Gold.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Just started Soul silver. This is pretty much my first pokemon game ever. What makes it better than heartgold???

Vulpix line and Skarmory. And the packaging. But don't worry about those details, it really doesn't matter.

I'll be on immediately.

I was just joking about the superior thing. I know very well that there are no major differences between the games that are released side by side.

 

[survivor]

Guys, what's the best way to increase happiness? I want to get Crobat before I head to the Elite Four, but this Golbat still doesn't want to evolve. Does spamming regular Potion help or are there much quicker ways?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I've only seen some Pokemon cartoons. I know virtually nothing about this stuff.lol I just hope that I picked a good place to start.

Thanks a lot for the virus.

I also got an EXP. SHARE that was attached to the cyndaquil. Are you sure that you meant to trade that?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Oh definitely. Though you'll probably be a bit overwhelmed at first... HGSS contain the most content, most features, best graphics, best online, and best battle system of any Pokemon game ever. If you're gonna jump in, these are the games to do it with.

 

[Nayishiki]

Thanks a lot for the virus.

No Problem. I have 8 EXP. Share in my bag so I don't need it.

EDIT: just won one at the Lottery so I now have 9 Exp. Share

 

[mooooose]

Hey I was wondering if anyone had a Ditto they could give me? I'm playing Platinum btw, but I'd be willing to breed a starter from this game or RSE. Thanks guys!

 

[Maximus.]

ugh ok i have both the dogs asleep and low hp. Unfortunately i dont have any pokemon with mean look or any moves to keep them in battle. It is getting annoying having to chase these fucks around. I have two master balls and am so tempted to use them on these two whores. Can anyone provide me with any useful tips??

That's pretty crazy. I need to try the lottery now that I have so many pokemon with different IDs.:lol

Go back a few pages and find the guy who was giving away sneasels with ingrain/mean look/false swipe. I'm sure that he'd gladly help you out.

 

[Wizpig]

Nothing!
You should sell it and buy HeartGold, in fact.

Enjoy your first Pokémon game, feel free to ask for anything.

 

[LiQuid!]

Couple questions: A few days ago (recently) someone mentioned a website where you could list a set of moves and it would tell you which pokemon was capable of learning all of them. Anybody know what that is?

Second: Metroid Killer, that rad pokemon art that you do, how is it made? Have you done Gengar or Sableye yet? If so, can you relink the hi-res versions for me please? Really awesome stuff!

Third: is there any way to max exodus your pokes from one version to another? I want all my unique ID's on the same cart for the lottery and I've been developing a pretty big assortment in Silver (thanks mostly to you guys) but I've still got dozens on among Pearl/Plat/HG.

It doesn't matter, to be honest. I'm just going to use it for breeding. But it'd be great if you could spare one!

 

[LiQuid!]

Right, I use all three of them regularly, but that doesn't really answer any of my questions. Do any of them have a move cross checker?
