What about roamers?

[Dudebot5000]

Same thing, since roamers are a form of one-timers.

Roamers?  As in, wild Pokemon that only show up once in a blue moon?  Like the Duskull I accidentally killed in the Lost Tower?

Status Update: I now have 4 gym badges, and the trainers on the way to the next town keep forcing me to reboot... (i.e. they either kill my team, or do something rediculously unfair like stealing my Amulet Coin or Exp share, etc.)

[Dudebot5000]

No, roamers as in the Legendary Dogs and Birds.

[The Host]

I thought you could refight legends in Platinum...? That's what I heard at least...

Yeah, if you kill a one-timer, you can reset it by beating the E4. As for Rotom, wait for the next night.

Did not know that... I've caught all of those tho, including roamers(i used imported master balls...)

@Flipz: is this your first pokemon game? and who are you using in your team at the moment?

[B~T]

Even so, saving before fighting legendaries ensures that you get a perfect nature as well as preferable IVs. Synchronize further helps it.

Roamers are an exception, since I think that the nature is determined once they are "released".


EDIT:

YAYZ I GOTZ PLATINUM!!!!!!

It's a parade of smileys!!!

[The Host]

yay you got Platinum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I don't go for natures for UBER, or roamers... and since I don't have wi-fi, getting a good Rotom isn't really useful...

Woot, congrats BT =D

[Ddude The Insane]

Hooray for BT!

Now.....why is the release of HG/SS an event on our calender?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Why shouldn't it be?

[Ddude The Insane]

Why shouldn't it be?

It will have no major impact on the forum, it isn't important to nearly 390 people here who will see it on the MLNO calendar,etc.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Does it really matter? If we stuck to MLN updates, we'd have to stick the whole Calendar with updates that could change, or the many delays of LRC. I don't think that would be any better than game release dates for certain popular game series.

[Ddude The Insane]

...fair enough.

IT is nice to know the release date of HG/SS in Japan,though. At least,i assume it is for Japan.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah. Ran outta space. Though, we've kinda known the RD for a few days now, but it's gotten buried in the topic now, so...

Same thing with the Megaman game, but it's still up there. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

>> << *Whistles suspiciously while walking away*

Anyway, what types of features do you guys think will be in HG/SS? Aside from what's already been announced. I mean, from what we've seen, the only thing that could be considered new to the series is the additional touch screen control, and that has been in D/P/Pt a bit... So what's this new stuff they've been talking about?

[.]

i think the lake trio will roam in it...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

The lake trio have been in D/P/Pt 3 times already, so unless it's an event thing like the Arceus event, I'd doubt it, and even then I don't know if they'd want to put in more roamers, since you'd have Suicune, Entei, and Raikou already.

[.]

then probably the golems. generation 1&2 already had roamers, not 3.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Gen three had roamers, and Gen 1 didn't. Roamers only were introduced with G/S/C. And the Golems have already appeared in Platinum, so I doubt they'd be in HG/SS.
