Topic: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

[Shorty McNostril]

All day today.

Man, Nintendo wasn't playing around with the gym leaders in the remake. My team at all at Level 50 (and the same team I beat the Elite Four with), by Sabrina's Espeon took out my whole team thanks to Psychic.

Huh?  Do you have all poison and fighting pokemon or something?

[nickmitch]

Sabrina gave me some trouble, but not THAT much.  Luckily, my Ampharos knew signal beam

No, Nidoqueen if my only poison type and I have no fighting types. This is my current team (I don't have access to my game at the moment so I don't have their movesets), I don't compete against humans so I don't care about that:

Pikachu
Nidoqueen
Golem
Gyarados
Noctowl
Meganium

Well if you live in Australia starting on June 3rd till June 13th Toys R Us will be giving out Jirachi.This is for Pearl,Diamond,Platinum,SoulSilver and HeartGold.

[Caterkiller]

Man I have an awesome Ursaring! Thanks to the power items, I am finally raising pokemon I don't have to think twice about! Can't wait to start playing you guys.

[Halbred]

I traded the last of the Pokemon I don't have/can't get in HeartGold from Pearl last night. I spent the remainder of my game time breeding for base forms. I'm absolutely crazy angry that I can't get a Lotod unless it's in the Safari Zone after playing around with blocks, which I don't understand.

If anyone has caught Groudon in SoulSilver, I'd appreciate being able to borrow it so that Professor Oak will give the Orb necessary to make Rayquaza appear. Then YOU can borrow my Kyogre for the same thing.

Also, quick question: when a book or online Pokedex lists a move being learned at "-," what does that mean? For example, check out Togekiss' moveset here:

That's not a level. It's a dash. And it doesn't learn those moves upon evolving. I've tried it.

[BeautifulShy]

Yeah head to Blackthorn city with a Heart Scale.There is a small hut that has a sign next to it which says Move tutor and move deleter.Talk to the guy in front of you when you enter.

As far as the Safari Zone goes. It is pretty simple. For Lotad ,which I just caught, you need to make the area the Plains area. Next when you enter the plains area you press A to set 12 water items in one area. I used the entrance area and used the puddle items. Once I set up 12 puddle items I walked around in the grass till I found it.

Yeah, dashed moves just represent moves that the evolved pokemon can "re-learn" from the heart scale tutor.  Since the heart scale tutor technically only teaches moves that a pokemon can learn on its own, they are represented this way.

It's usually done to still allow evolved Pokemon to relearn moves they would have learned pre-evolution.

[Halbred]

Hey, kids! Who wants to help me complete my Pokedex? My only request is that no glitch Pokemon are used, only home-grown, fresh-caught (or evolved) Pokemon. I don't care whether they come from HG/SS/Pearl/Dimond or Platinum. If you want the Pokemon back, you can have him back. I just want him for the 'Dex entry. I am not against breeding, hatching, or grinding. I will post a list of Pokemon I still need later today...(it's not that many, seriously!)

[TJ Spyke]

I just got done catching all 10 Pokemon that can appear with the Hoenn Sound, i'm up to 248 seen/151 caught. After I beat the rest of the gyms in Kanto ad beat Red, I will try GameFAQs to try and get all of the Pokemon I can't get (Pokemon not available in SoulSilver, including legendaries).

Hal, if I have any Pokemon you need I will be glad to help.

[Halbred]

POKEMON I STILL NEED:
 
Nidoqueen (or a Moon Stone)
Nintetails (or a Fire Stone)
Victreebel (or Leaf Stone)
Dewgong
Muk
Crobat
Natu/Xatu
Raiku/Entei/Suicune (I HATE chasing these guys)
Celebi
Ludicolo (or a Water Stone)
Nosepass/Probopass
Torcoal
Seviper
Feebas/Milotic
Chimeco (I have a Chingling, but I don't want to friggin' bother)
Sealeo
Regirock/Regice/Registeel
Latias/Latios (Latias is flying around my game, but, again, I hate chasing legendaries)
SoulSilver's Groudon so I can get Rayquaza
Deoxys
Roserade (or a Shiny Stone--I have a Budew)
Pachirisu
Glameow/Purugly
Finneon/Lumineon
Snover/Abomasnow
Magnezone
Glaceon
Dialga
 
Not THAT terrible of a list, right? RIGHT? I just want a lot of these guys just for the 'Dex entry.

[TJ Spyke]

I have Raikou that I could let you temporarily have (I don't like giving away legendaries). I could let you temp hold my Crobat as well (frigging thing took about 8 hours to get it happy enough to evolve from Golbat). Suicune doesn't actually run, you battle it near Bill's House outside of Cerulean City.

Regarding Nidoqueen, don't forget that you can get a free Moon Stone at Mt. Moon every Monday night. If you just want the Pokedex entry though and don't care about keeping one, I have one you could hold.

I am not far enough to encounter Groudon yet (I am up to Rock Tunnel), but I will let you borrow it when I catch it (if you need it).

I MIGHT have a Dewgong (I am not home right now and can't check).

[Halbred]

Thanks, man. Like I said, we could literally trade, then trade right back.

With the exception of the Groudon. I actually have to drag that to Prof. Oak to get the Orb, but hey, then you can do the same with my Kyogre.

[TJ Spyke]

I can also evolve my Haunter during this. Just let me know when you want to do this. I will get home around 2:30 ET (about 90 minutes from now), so any time after that is fine.

[Halbred]

Tonight might not work. My wife is dragging me to some book signing after work. I probably won't get home until...hmmm...7:30 Zachlaska time (ten hours from now). If you're up for it, I'm game, but I don't want to keep you awake or anything.

[TJ Spyke]

I will probably be up anyways. If I am and you still want to do it tonight, I am up for it.

[Halbred]

Cool. I'll get some Pokemon that I bet aren't in your 'Dex together and post here when I get home. Thanks for all your help, brother.

[TJ Spyke]

Maybe we can try again tomorrow, i'm about ready to get some sleep.

[Halbred]

Yup. Just got back. Sorry.

[Stratos]

I'm able to trade all day tomorrow. I want to make my Scyther evolve now that I got the metal coat.

[TJ Spyke]

I will be available all day today, anybody who wants to trade should just let me know.

[Halbred]

I'll be getting home at a reasonable hour tonight--6 p.m. Zachlaska time (same as usual). I'll load up on rare Pokemon (probably legendaries) so that we can all exchange 'Dex entries.

[TJ Spyke]

I am in the Wi-Fi room waiting to do this. I have Crobat, Nidoqueen, and Raikou to let you hold (they are the only ones on your list that I currently have). I would also like to evolve my Haunter.

[Halbred]

I must've missed you last night, TJ. I'm firing up the trade invitation in about five minutes if anyone wants to join in.

[TJ Spyke]

Yeah, I waited about 40 minutes after my post before leaving. I caught Suicune today (after about 20 Ultra Balls, 10 Net Balls, several Friend Balls, and a few Great Balls) and Zapdos. So I can let add Suicune to your Pokedex, and I would like to evolve my Kadabra if that's OK. Grinding is a pain in the ass, but I need to do it before is face Red since all six of his Pokemon are in their 80s (with his Pikachu being the highest of any NPC Pokemon in the series at 88), my highest is only 63.

I will be heading online now (the volume on my DS will be down as I am watching something on TV).
