Are Murkrow/Honchrow good pokemon? Ive never trained them before.
I want a flying type for my 6th but Ive already trained Staryus, Pidgeys, and Togepis before so Id want something different.

 

[Chorazin]

Try Target, mine had a displayer filled to the brim with them. They are ready for the onslaught once word gets out :lol

My Best Buy had one of those right as you walked in the door. It was nice, stepped in the door, grabbed the game, walked to the checkout, walked out the store.

Did they also have the little thing below it of "lesser" pokemon games to try and get you to nab one of them too. "Hey, Pokemon Ranger, and Mystery Dungeon, don't mind if I do"

 

[Lkr]

where do i get a ditto?

 

[JSnake]

Urgh. Leveling Gastly is really tough when you only have Lick. Can anyone conjure up a Shadow Ball TM for me?

 

[Jokey665]

where do i get a ditto?

Route 35, Route 47, Cerulean Cave, Safari Zone

Yes.

 

[Gravijah]

Routes 34, 35, and 47.

ok so im gonna ask this again. why does pidegotto have to suck so much? i want a good party, but im stuck with pidgeotto's crap

 

[Unicorn]

grass above Goldenrod, just by the entrance of the National Park has them in there.

Found one this morning and was surprised to see it there. Same grass also has Yanma (which I remembered as a kid, hence why I was poking around there[along with the nidorans])

I'm currently trying to figure out who to toss Pidgeotto for too. I need someone capable of learning Fly... I was GOING to try for Dratini (Dragonite can learn Fly), but I'd probably shoot myself playing Voltorb Flip.

yeah, voltorb flip sucks ass

 

[Jokey665]

yeah, voltorb flip sucks ass

It's not so bad. I can get 500~ coins in just a few minutes, so I can't really complain. Granted, I could get coins faster playing slots because I had the timing for the Jackpot memorized, but...

It makes me very, very angry but when I start playing it I can't stop. In case you're curious http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fly#By_HM02_4 there's a list of all the Pokemon who can learn Fly through HM.

Tips, please.

You'll be stuck with Murkrow for a while (until you find a Dark Stone), but Murkrow is a very good Pokemon itself. Both Murkrow and Honch have good Attack and Special attacking allowing them to utilize a number of moves by level up, or TM. As one of the few dark Pokemon you can obtain early on, I recommend raising it!

You're probably way to early for this, but Sludge Bomb is found at Lake of Rage

Spoiler

after outing Team Rocket

. If you can afford Thunderbolt from the Goldenrod department store, that will help out too

Spoiler

But it's incredibly expensive early on.

I could trade you a Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, or Thunderbolt when I get home.

 

[Lkr]

I don't even understand how to win Voltorb flip. I always hit a Voltorb no matter what

 

[joelseph]

Tips, please.

We have been begging for tips or a faq all day. Someone good at voltorb flip spill the beans!

 

[JSnake]

Okay! Just attach it to any old crap Pokemon, I don't really care. Thanks a lot!

I did that the first 5 times in a row, it made me so angry :lol If you look at the numbers to the right and on the bottom, they tell you how many Voltorbs are in the row, and how many total coins there are in the row.

 

[Jokey665]

Tips, please.

There's only two real 'strategies' or whatever that I know of.

1. Flip over any rows/columns with 0 voltorbs. Pretty simple.
2. Mark off all rows/columns where coins+voltorbs=5 because there are no x2 or x3 tiles there.

Beyond that, I don't really have any tips; it feels like it just gets easier by playing it more.

It's not hard really. Few levels and then you get Night shade or something.

Night Shade only deals damage equal to the opponent's level.

Yeah, I've got both of those down... I guess I just need to play it more and more. Thanks.

It actually works pretty well most of the time... Sigh.

Daycare?

 

[Drkirby]

No one answered before, can recorded be mixed over Wifi now? If so, we really should make a Neogaf club and see what the hell the club thing even does.

 

[Tiktaalik]

What's a good pokemon to load all my gameplay necessary HMs/TMs on? It seems that Rattata can't use Flash for example.

 

[JSnake]

Daycare?

Don't have access to it yet and I generally dislike using Daycare for anything but breeding.

Alright I'm there waiting.

 

[Lkr]

does unlocking unowns really do anything in this game?

 

[JSnake]

Alright I'm there waiting.

Thanks a ton!

 

[Salaadin]

You guys sold me on Honchrow. Pimp Bird :lol
Thanks.

 

[survivor]

Thanks a ton!

Hope you take good care of Bidoof. He is really powerful when you show him love and compassion.

 

[Trojita]

My Superior Silver copy should arrive in the mail today from Amazon, I'm pissed it dropped in price by a dollar though after it was released :lol

 

[Hex]

Just starting out past "Mr Pokemon"''s house, my current team is :
Totodyle
Kangaskhan
Nidoran
Pidgey
HootHoot
Ratatat

I do love the Pokewalker

 

[Sora_N]

Okay decided to buy this tomorrow Pokewalker sounds good. I'll pick this up when I hopefully get Resonance of Fate tomorrow. :lol Haven't played DS in years.

When is the earliest I can revive a Fossil?

 

[Lkr]

just ran into Entei randomly. Had a level 1 heracross as my lead poke:lol

Wait?! Is Voltorb Flip a kiddie version of Picross?!! If so i'll have lots of coins!

 

[jrricky]

WTF at the strategy guide! Where is Kanto?

 

[Jokey665]

Dunno, never played Picross. It feels vaguely similar to Minesweeper though, even though it's really not much like Minesweeper at all.

 

[survivor]

Nintendo predicts you will reach Kanto in 2 weeks so why bother release the guide now.

 

[Trojita]

Nintendo is shaking you down for all of your lunch money.

 

[Trojita]

Don't you mean 6 weeks? The Kanto guide doesn't come out till like April 28. I bet the pokedex in the first guide is the gimped one as well.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Pretty sure that's actually a Thunder the store sells. Thunderbolt you get from the Battle Frontier.

What the hell? The thing has a release date? I thought Nintendo just didn't mention one just to trick people into thinking the current guide has both regions.

It's been up on Amazon, a little hard to find though in the past. Amazon just added a picture to it the other day so the book is likely finished anyways

Yes, you're correct. What I meant was the Game Corner sells the Thunderbolt TM, but it's quite costly. Unless they've removed TM purchasing along with the slots, I don't know because I haven't checked it out.
