Pokémon General Discussion

[.]

they only apear if u have some event regigigas.

[The Host]

Regis won't be roamers. They never were. There'll just be the dogs IMO, and maybe the birds in Kanto(once unlocked)...

has anyone here beaten the Battle Factory?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I don't think the Birds should be in Kanto though... They weren't in the originals, and Platinum gives a good enough explanation for why they aren't in Kanto in GSC if you remember that GSC takes place three years after RGB.

@Everyone-well,here are a few of the features:

One image reveals that three of the legendary Pokémon of Hoenn — Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza — will also be available in the games. Upon beating the Elite Four of Johto, Kyogre and Groudon can be caught in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively. Their location is currently unknown. Once both Pokémon are brought together in either HeartGold or SoulSilver, Rayquaza can be encountered.[/quote

AND:

The fourth image shows Arceus and Cynthia together in an unknown place in HeartGold and SoulSilver where there are three symbols on the floor. One of the characters in the image is saying, "They were given the right to choose one life out of three" with no additional context. There are rumors going around Japanese forums which state that if the Arceus obtained from official events is traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver, a level 1 Dialga, Palkia or Giratina can be caught.

You will be getting a lot of oppurtunities to catch legendaries in HG/SS.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yes, but version exclusives and Pokemon given via event Pokemon aren't anything new... And apparently there were supposed to be brand new features never seen in the main series...

One of the things I do think will be in, with the Unown Dex hopefully back, is the ability to get the Unown Dex, and to save pics of the Unown(And other stuff too like Pokedex entries!) to an SD card, as I've heard the original games apparently allowed you to print stuff like that.

[Dudebot5000]

Yeah, if you had the GB Printer, you could print things in the original games.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Ah, cool. Maybe that could be something that if you use the game in a DSi you could use? Like; You could play it on a normal DS, but it'd have more features unlocked on a DSi.

[Iconox]

I don't really do the pokemon games, but GPX does basically the same stuff in terms of evolving and items. THESE STUPID EGGS ARE SO CLOSE TO HATCHING AND NOBODY ON GPX IS CLICKING! Whoops, srry about exploding like that =|

[B~T]

Wow. I can't connect to Wi Fia anymore since for some reason "wireless" disappeared.

I REALLY LIKED THAT CONNECTION AND IT DISAPPEARED RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES!!  x infinity

[Dudebot5000]

I learned today if I want Wi-fi, I'll need another router due to the security typing. >_<

[Magical Girl Mimi]

B~T: *Eye twitch* Dang, I liked having battles against you D=

Duckbot: It got WPA? If so, the DSi supports that, and HG/SS may too.

[B~T]

B~T: *Eye twitch* Dang, I liked having battles against you D=

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I now have the Secret Key! And my Wi Fi is working again!!

@ Blade - Wanna Battle?

[Dudebot5000]

B~T: *Eye twitch* Dang, I liked having battles against you D=

DSi may support that, but the games itself only support WEP or no security. And we don't want to lower the main router's security, hence the second router.

And Nintendo stopped selling the Wi-fi USB plug thing. D=

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Woot, congrats =D

Nah, I have to get around to working on my competitive team sometime... Maybe I actually do that?

Duckbot: Actually, only games released before wouldn't support it, unless they've decided to be stupid like Capcom of America and remove that feature from all games here >_>(Hey... That'd be a perfect test; try out Ryuusei no Rockman 3 Black Ace (English of course ) on a DSi and see if it supports the new encryption methods) So, with any luck, HG/SS will support WPA and such, though you'd still need a DSi. But for Plat and such, I think you'd need a second router... =/

[Flipz]

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?

Yeah it is, and worse it's only borrowed...I have to give it back on Thursday. 

My current team is:

Gyarados ~lvl 28
Grotle (name: Wiggy!) ~lvl 28
Kadabra (name: Kazza) ~lvl 34
Pachirisu ~ lvl 20 (soon to change, I have an EXP share on him and am going to level him up real quick in prep for the 5th Gym boss)
Togetic ~lvl 22 (soon to be removed)
Rotom ~lvl 22

2x Luxio ~lvl 17 (1 male and 1 female, again, I plan to level them up until they evolve, and then pick one to replace Togetic and possibly Gyarados or Wiggy!)

As I mentioned, I'm about to fight the 5th Gym Leader, so I'm stocking up on Electric-type Pokemon. 

[lionytai]

And Nintendo stopped selling the Wi-fi USB plug thing. D=

If nintendo stop selling it, that doesn't mean the shops doesn't have any leftover fo those.

Ditch Pachirisu. Even though I have a Lvl 48 Pachirisu in my Diamond, I'm using it for Pickup purposes. Rotom will suffice for an electric type. If you have the Secret Key, then you could go to the Eterna Galactic Building and select a machine Rotom will merge for better stats.

See if you can find an opportunity to trade Kadabra and let it evolve, and you wouldn't regret having a non-legendary Pokemon with the highest Special Attack (there is another pokemon with the same base Special Attack stat). Just beware of physical sweepers.

Here is a link to see how you can make Alakazam a deadly sweeper.

Gyarados is an okay option, and in competitive battling, he somethings can score 6-0, meaning that sometimes he can defeat all 6 of your opponent's Pokemon. Just beware of Electric attacks, since he has a 4x weakness to them.

Actually, keep Togetic. If you find a Shiny Stone, you can evolve Togetic into a more powerful OU Pokemon...
Will I mention Pokemon names?

Speaking of which, you have two flying types on your team. Since I really don't like teams that repeat types, you can trade Gyarados for another water type, like Floatzel and Vaporeon, or if you can get one, Milotic. Feebas, the pre-evolution of Milotic, are really hard to obtain, so good luck, but Milotic is a really powerful Pokemon.

Or you could trade Togetic for another Pokemon that doesn't repeat types, but I can't think up of any now.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

If I can get an Electivire all ready, I'll go through the Battle Hall and use that to get Gold. Congrats on your wins though =)

[Magical Girl Mimi]

A secret to winning? What's that?

[B~T]

Ludicolo with the moveset:

Nature: Modest/Timid
EVs: 4 HP/252 Sp. Attack/252 Speed
Item: Chesto Berry
~ Surf
~ Energy Ball/Giga Drain
~ Ice Beam
~ Filler

Could help in the Battle Tower Brain.

Surf for Rhyperior, Energy Ball/Giga Drain for Milotic, and Ice Beam for Dragonite. Chesto Berry to awaken Ludicolo in case he falls asleep by Milotic's Hypnosis. Aren't I a genius?
