I went with RIVAL for my rival. I'm real original but hey, that's what I did back with Silver so I had to continue the tradition.

Didn't have a whole lot of time to play yesterday. Just beat the first gym leader. Blue and Silver have always been my two favorite Pokemon games so finally replaying it after so many years is bliss.

So I'm fighting Jasmine and her damn Steelix and I can't win using brute strength. I decided to use strategy for once, took out my Haunter and used curse then managed to keep reviving enough Pokemon and have Flaafy's static ability take affect to eventually take Steelix out. Quilava did the rest :D

Yeah I took on Jasmine before Chuck, and her Steelix defintely put up a good challenge, then I kicked Chuck's ass easily afterwards :D

Got all the Eeveelutions after some hard work and thanks to Balb!

Well I was using Umbreon on my team to begin with anyway. Thanks to the Pokethlon it's easy to get lots of evo stones, and Balb traded me a Glaceon and Leafeon which I obviously can't get on my own. And Espeon was easy to get since I've been cycling A LOT(for breeding and for other happiness evo). It's probably my favorite species family, they all look so damn cool and cute!

That's what I thought, but after 12 Sun Stones I can confirm that they aren't random! Again pre national pokedex it'll only be Sun stone, but after obtaining the national dex it'll be random.

How the heck are the gonna make a Fighting Eevee? Pretty much all fighting pokemon are standing on their hind legs, no?

you people struggling with gym leaders and crap...........is this your first time playing the series?

you doing it WRONG. level up your starter to the max, and use the others as HM slaves and as an extra turn to revive your over-leveled starter if it ever dies.

dont try to level everyone up. at the end you should have 1 level 80 that kills everything it touches, 3 HM slaves and 2 Legendaries

That is such a boring way to play the game imo, and you don't learn/take advantage of the incredible combat system of the series.

Leveling up a team is much more fun and poses a bigger challenge(unless you grind a lot). I hate to be at higher levels than Gym leaders.

I like levelling everyone up. I understand the reasoning behind HM slaves and having that one powerful pokemon that kicks everyones ass but I find myself enjoying the game more when Im levelling several pokemon at once and gyn leaders are actually putting up a fight.

Agree, its more fun to have a few tough battles here and there rather than breeze through with just 1 and keep reviving it.

I guess that playstyle makes sense if you view the single player story as a nuisance to be completed as soon as possible so you can start pwning nubs online. Not my thing, though.

this is the absolutely worst way to play the game, and also lacks skill.

I really see no reason to rush through this game. I never played Gold/Silver before so I like to enjoy the storyline and have a challenge. Beside I already got Platinum where I have my competitive Pokemon ready for battling. Soul Silver will be strictly for fun/casual fun and not any of the competitive crap.

Starmie is one of the easiest ways to solo the game, although things like Dragonite are also pretty easy.. they just eat a butt load of Exp. to level.

Starters in HGSS are okay to solo with, but they struggle mostly due to coverage. Typlosion has Fire Blast/Focus Blast, and a number of physical moves, but doesn't hit a lot for Super Effective Damage. Feraligatr is a bit better, with Ice Fang/Waterfall/Earthquake.

I haven't gotten the game yet but just a question...

If I transfer over a pokemon from Diamond that is the nationaldex in HG/SS how does it show up before you get the national dex?


PS. UPS COME ON!

iirc from my days of Gold/Silver eons ago, as far as the single player game goes it is one of, if not THE, most useful in the game due to type matchups and such. I think mine stayed on my team all the way to the Elite 4.

Cool, thanks. I have Mareep in my roster but I haven't even brought it into battle yet. I was THIS CLOSE to putting it in the PC but I think I'll keep it now.

They just don't show up... I got a Munclax(through the pokewalker) early when I started my game and you couldn't view it in the Johto Pokedex for example.

So I logged over 10 hours yesterday. 4 badges. Goddam this game is so fucking awesome :lol

I'm a little concerned about the breeding in this though. I haven't done it yet, but it seems like it will be more difficult than platinum. No poketech app to show when there is an egg (but maybe they call you?) plus it doesn't seem like the bike goes as fast

Also where can you change your options for what you look like to other trainers over wifi?
