A recent episode of the Japanese-only Pokémon Sunday TV show has provided the biggest hint yet that Nintendo is currently working on remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
The classic duo originally appeared on the Game Boy Color and remain two of the best-loved entries in the insanely successful series.
Apparently a "world-exclusive first announcement" will be made on May 10 during the Pokémon Sunday show; the logic behind the assumption that the news will involve Gold and Silver is dedicated by the fact that two Gold and Silver globes were displayed on-screen during the teaser. Simple, no?
A curious possibility. Who would consider getting this?

*UPDATE* Nintendo confirmed it's legit (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18385)

Remember, this is inexcusable if this was done by any franchise. But since this is Pokemon this is almost forgiven :p .
Ha ha, it's strange, that's so true, and I didn't even realize that until you pointed it out just now. I never hear anyone complain about Pokémon games being too similar to their predecessors, but people go to town complaining about Mario Galaxy, Animal Crossing, etc. If these remakes do surface, somehow I doubt we'll hear anyone complain about how they aren't Nintendo being "loyal" to their fanbase. Pokémon was designed to be exploitative, which makes it acceptable. It would be "disloyal" of Nintendo if they actually tried to revolutionize the series.
Someone once said that Wii Sports Golf is too similar to NES Golf...

Actually I'm not sure why I'm so excited. The appeal of FireRed and LeafGreen to me was that I recognized all the Pokémon (even a decade later I still know all of the first 150 Pokémon). I don't remember them from Gold and Silver anywhere near as well, and most of the features in Gold and Silver are in Diamond and Pearl. Hopefully they'll still include the part where you can go back to Kanto after you complete Johto (Why the hell do I still remember those names?) and having 2 games in 1 with probably a higher percentage of Pokémon I recognize.
Also I hope, Mop_it_up, that you appreciate that I accented the "e"s in Pokémon as you've complained about it before; I decided to be nice to you despite the fact that we disagree about everything.

Remakes? I don't think so. I'm thinking it might be the announcement for a re-release of Gold and Silver for download on the DS, as the first two titles for the DS's portable Virtual Console.

That's pretty optimistic Caliban... I'm sure these will be regular releases done completely in the Diamond and Pearl engine. Don't forget, it would be kind of like re-releasing both red/blue and gold/silver because of the inclusion of Kanto.
I also think this sheds a lot of light on the absolute lack of a way for DS players to get a Celebi. It is the event pokemon of that generation after all. I expect Toys R Us events to happen giving it away as this release gets closer.
And yeah, I'll definitely buy it. Given the changes to the Pokemon mechanics, one can't simply replay the old versions of these games if they are interested in collecting all their monsters in once place.
It is sad that there is still no sign of something truly new and refreshing for the franchise though.

Not really. That was just a lame way to extent the game; none of the original game's events take place, many areas are missing, and none of the Pokémon to be found have levels higher than those of the Elite 4. It's more like a really huge Safari Zone.
And they've already re-released Red/Blue, so why would they care?

actually, if i had my way there would be one pokemon cart and you'd have to buy expansions for it (which go on the cart or SD card)
i mean imagine having one character, but several pokemon games in one thing?

I would've rather bought Silver/Gold remakes than Red/Green, but here's the thing: I'm so damn burned out on Pokemon after Pear/Platinum that I don't think I can go back for a generation or so. :-(

After more than a decade of playing, I'm officially bored of the Pokemon formula. I don't think Pokemon can ever draw me in again just by layering the same mechanics over a different map.
Now, if Nintendo ever made a spin-off series that added a bit more depth to the formula, a "Pokemon Tactics," if you will, I can very well see me easing back into Poke-serfdom.

If they make "Pokemon Tactics", I quit. The only constants in life anymore are death, taxes, and Pokemon games, so they'd be wise not to mess with it. Besides, a large percentage of customers for each new "generation" are newcomers to the franchise, so it's new to them!

The complaints were more common years ago. It's just become so routine that complaining seems redundant. But there was a time where people complained about the constant rehashing and the shitty spinoffs and Nintendo's utter refusal to release a good console Pokemon RPG. The thing is it's just preaching to the choir. Pretty much EVERYONE agrees with you when you crap on Pokemon so there's like no point. There's no viewpoint to defend, no one to try to win over with your argument. It's just unanimous agreement.
My brother will probably get this. I won't bother. I just don't care, even though the real Pokemon games are quite good. The irony is that they're remaking Gold/Silver but the whole reason that game is so respected is because it's the lone Pokemon game that actually pushed the series forward. It stands out because unlike the other games it's NOT a rehash but feels like a full-on sequel with all sorts of new ideas. So Nintendo is remaking it but they're probably completely oblivious to exactly WHY this is widely considered the best Pokemon game.

What would be the point? Even if a third dimension were added, it'd still be the same game with a different presentation. Plus, portability is one of the draws of Pokémon.
What I think would be a cool console Pokémon game would be one which uses a battle system that's similar to Smash Brothers. That'd be the only way to make it not boring.

That's a very close-minded view of Pokemon. Part of the thrill of Pokemon is discovering the Pokemon world. It's about going to new areas and discovering the wild Pokemon that are in the area. It's about going to a new town and solving some mini-quest in that town and visiting the gym and getting another badge. You put that in 3D and you can do so much more in designing that world than you can on a flat surface with a fixed view. Some of it is just simple stuff like incorporating height into the world but it makes a huge difference.
3D is a real gameplay change. It provides freedom. It's not a coincidence that the most significant jumps in Nintendo's franchises was when they moved to 3D.
And even if it is just presentation how is making another 2D game any different? At least a new presentation would jazz things up a bit.

I suppose that's true. I was thinking more about the battle system which, as the Pokémon Stadium games have shown, is just as mind-numbing in 3D as it is in 2D. In fact, since they drag on ever longer, they are probably even more boring in 3D.
Those remarks about Zelda: OoT are so wrong that I'm not even going to comment on them...

I agree with being frustrated with HMs. I refuse to use any of the weak HMs on my main team with the exception of Fly and Surf. It seems that every game adds some new HMs and they just detract from the experience for me. Defog, Rock Climb, Rock Smash, Strength, Waterfall, Surf, Fly, Cut and Whirlpool. Yikes! Maybe they could allow you to teach HM moves aside from your four regular moves and only allow them to be used outside of battle.
Though I'd like each of your monsters to be able to learn more than four moves at once. four feels a bit limiting.

The main thing wrong with the battle system in the 3rd games is often it can take a very very long time. Input an attack and then watching the hp diminish and then a status affect, it just takes an ungodly amount of time. Add in the fact that the pokemon don't do too much on the animation side, then things become mind numbing. Thought I played the heck out of Stadium 1 and 2, but could not complete the battle modes in collesium or battle revolution because I thought the graphics were just plain aweful.
For some reason, some pokemon looked awesome, and others looked like absolute crap! I would love an entire 3d experience, but where the battles are just a little faster paced and more animated. I always wanted the pokemon to touch in the latest 3d game but when that happend it too looked like crap.

I really hate when you are in a special weather area so EVERY random battle takes forever to run through because it has to animate the 'weather effects' each turn. If I'm in those areas for more than a little bit I turn off the animations.

Post by: Mikintosh on May 08, 2009, 12:03:10 AM
I didn't mind the slow pace of the animation in the Stadium games, mainly because I liked the rest of the presentation too much to complain (great music, and I loved the overly-enthusiastic announcer). I cared for it less in the GCN and Wii games, tho, because I didn't like presentation as much. But yeah, the animations for the weather conditions kinda bugged me too, since they show up every damn turn.

Mop it up, we get it. You have a irrational hatred for Pokemon (and that you don't understand what a re-make it either). Re-making the best Pokemon games and 2 of the greatest handheld games ever is a GOOD thing.
I put over 500 hours into Silver (and over 800 into Crystal. I can't wait for these to come out, I hope they put in all the improvements they made with Crystal.

I like the 4 attack limit because it means you really have to plan your team. However, I agree HMs would be better as non attack actions, and you can give a pokemon up to 2 of them. Perhaps even limit it to one.
That would allow you to build your team as you like, AND be forced to have a good variety team for HMs.

Post by: Mop it up on May 09, 2009, 11:55:02 PM
I like the 4 attack limit because it means you really have to plan your team.
What kind of system I think could work is that each Pokémon is limited to "equiping" 4 of their learned moves for use in battle. This still has the layer of strategy that the 4-move limit adds, but it also allows Pokémon to keep all of their learned moves without having to go to the move-relearner or TMs. This would also allow for HMs to be learned without wasting a slot. There would be a limit on learned moves, though I'm not sure how many. 12 maybe?
Re-making the best Pokemon games and 2 of the greatest handheld games ever is a GOOD thing.
Of course it is a good thing, if you are a money-grubbing corporation with no artistic integrity.

I know it's just a remake, but I'm glad there's going to be a new edition of Gold and Silver. I tried picking up my old copy of Gold last year for fun, but I'm just too accustomed to the changes Ruby and Sapphire brought. It's been a long time since I played through Gold, and I don't think I played it as much as Red and Blue. Since I hardly remember anything in it, playing through the remake should be fun.

I do agree that they did streamline a lot of the computer/box processes in the later games so that is a positive thing. I remember having to go through a save sequence every time you wanted to view a new PC Box. Sheesh that was a pain.

That never made sense to me.
At this point, a lot of the batteries in Gold/Silver/Crystal cartridges have gone dead due to the internal clock sapping all of its juice. I imagine these remakes are going to use the DS's internal clock rather than having their own since a battery won't fit inside of a DS game card, so this problem won't occur in five or so years later.

Defog is the worst by far because the game just loves throwing random fog at you, and the usual HM slave can't learn it since it's not a flying type.

No, whirlpool was not in Gold, Silver or Crystal. It came in the Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald games.
Um, hate to be a spot on the rug, but Whirlpool is definitely an HM in Silver/Gold/Crystal! You need it in order to reach the Whirl Islands!

I thought it might have been a spam bot, but I figured better to be friendly and welcome a bot versus ignoring a real person with a funny name. People chased at least one person like that away at the DSi launch.
Whirl Islands must have been a Crystal feature, because it wasn't anywhere in Gold or Silver. Or my memory is failing me in my old age.

Unfortunately that seems to be the case. The Whirl Islands are definitely in Silver/Gold because that's where you find Lugia.
It seems I have the opposite problem as you do, I remember things I'd rather forget.
Here are two ways to help identify a SpamBot: 1. The signature isn't actually a signature. Note that when you quote the post the signature appears too. 2. The link in the sig leads to a product (in this case a filtered water pitcher).

What I never understood was why you couldn't go back to the older regions in the newer games like they allowed in G/S/C.
They even make allusions to older game characters in the new ones. It's like it's tempting and taunting you.

They did it once, I don't see why they couldn't have done it again.
One of the things that frustrates me about the series is that at one point you typically are forced to grind in the wild. I prefer to fight other trainers instead of grass grinding. If they added the past region where you could keep battling trainers up until you faced the Elite 4 then I would be happier with the game.

Adding in the old territory would have left less room for new territory. Plus they gotta give people a reason to buy the remakes.

They did it once, I don't see why they couldn't have done it again.
One of the things that frustrates me about the series is that at one point you typically are forced to grind in the wild. I prefer to fight other trainers instead of grass grinding. If they added the past region where you could keep battling trainers up until you faced the Elite 4 then I would be happier with the game.
The original RBY series was the worst about this. Once you defeated every single trainer in the game, you could only face the E4. I restarted my files time after time because I hated just fighting wild Pokemon.
GSC fixed it a bit with the telephone system, which kind of carried over to at least Emerald. Diamond and Pearl have it right with the Rematch Checker. While it's annoying that you have to recharge it after using it, it's much better than the older games. Also, the series is pretty good about adding lots of content after you beat the E4. Now you can face your rival every weekend, or go do some other events.
I do hope Kanto is still in the remakes.

My thought about not adding the old regions is that Kanto and Johto shared a continent. So for R/S/E, going back to Johto would almost have to involve going back to Kanto, or some justification of why that's not possible. But, with D/P/Pt, they could have done this, but probably didn't have the space because of all the extra **** they threw in, the events, battle frontier, etc.

BS they couldn't fit it in. SD cards are huge. And what do you see in battles? Sprites that shake. They aren't even animated.
I still say they need to make a new Pokemon that only pulls from the old games. Give us a mixture of the different legendaries and mix up all of the previous starter Pokemon. Maybe add a few new ones as hidden secrets, but do we really need another Rattata or Pidgey clone?

Some more info on the title.
Seems that all of the Legendarys are returning from the Gold and Silver games. Mewtwo is back.
Latios and Latias are in the game at level 30.
I'm not familar with Eusine.It will be in the game. Who's that Pokemon?

Post by: Stratos on July 10, 2009, 05:30:26 PM
Sure it's not Sucine the legendary water gerbil?
Hmm, I assumed it was a translation error. Apparently Eusine chases Suicine. He is a research scientist that chases the legendary gerbils.

That character was one of the bonuses added to Pokémon Crystal. So I guess that means the games will contain the added content from Crystal in addition to whatever else they're adding to these remakes.

GameFAQs says "TBA 2010". My guess would be the first quarter.
GameFAQ release dates are not reliable, they are usually fan submitted and should be taken with a grain of salt.
If Eusine is in there, hopefully this means you can battle Suicune and catch it right away (I HATE having to chase the legendary dogs all over the map, at least Crystal let you capture 1 without chasing it).

They seem pretty reliable to me, I don't recall seeing one which was wrong. Besides, what's on GameFAQs isn't a release date, it is a TBA. In other words, it is just an educated guess based on the trends of the releases of the previous Pokémon games, most of which weren't released in the US until months after Japan. So 2010 seems like a pretty good bet to me.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TofuFury on July 11, 2009, 02:26:07 AM
Early 2010 is probably a safe bet when the remakes will be released, especially if they're released in Japan this fall. Diamond and Pearl came out in April '07 and Platinum was March '09.
I hope you don't have to chase all three of the gerbils this time. At least you don't have to beat the game three different times with different starters to get them like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

Hey, NorthSea, I was just wondering where you've been. I haven't seen your around here much recently. Though it might also be that I still think of you with that penguin/bird/thing avatar you used to have.
I hope you don't have to chase all three of the gerbils this time. At least you don't have to beat the game three different times with different starters to get them like in FireRed and LeafGreen.
You had to chase the three 'spirit' legendaries in D/P/Pt so I'm sure the gerbil chasing will return as well. I never successfully caught them. Though I have a number of cloned master balls from Emerald I can transfer to help make the job easier.
I remember doing the 'starter collecting' when I had the original Blue. My sister had Red and she decided to start her game over so she gave me all of her important Pokemon and let me restart the game a number of times to get and trade off a bunch of the starters before she started her new game for reals.
On a random and different note, I still have on of her old Pokemon and it is the oldest one from all our games. It is a Charizard. I think it lives on the Pokemon Stadium game cart or my Gold cart. I almost wish that Pokemon got stronger as they aged in real life. Imagine if you could pull out your old 'experienced' monsters and whale on new trainers today.

Yeah, I took a few weeks off since life was a bit hectic. Haven't had much time for gaming except for weekends. I'll be posting more often, though. I still have those Pokemon in a box you asked for awhile ago. If you ever want them, or any others, let me know! Also, the avatar was Puck from Animal Crossing. He lives in my village, so I decided to play as him.

It's not so hard when you know the trick, it's just time consuming. The most annoying one to catch was Cresselia, since you have to randomly catch her in a body of water.

Yeah, I did the starter collecting stuff when I had red and blue. It's easier to get through the game with Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur on your team.
I also like your idea about Pokemon aging, though I'm not sure how it would work with the leveling system. Maybe age will somehow be factored in for a future release. Maybe each time you imported your pokemon from a previous generation, they got a bump in stats.

I still want them, I just don't have access to a Wi-Fi spot that has low enough security for the DS to work. When I get a place of my own again (when I get a better job, again...) I'll be able to do it. I'm supposed to get a call Monday about an awesome job so I hope it works out. The place also owns some apartments so I might be able to get a nice deal there in the near future.
IV boost for older monsters, maybe? I'm no IV trainer, but I've read about it.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TofuFury on July 13, 2009, 01:21:01 AM
IV's take too long to breed for. I do EV train. It's easy to do as long as you have pokerus and a macho brace. Unless it's a legendary at a giveaway event I won't deal with IV's. Breeding takes forever just to get pokemon with a good nature.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on July 13, 2009, 01:56:42 AM
What is the difference between IV and EV training?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TofuFury on July 13, 2009, 02:19:16 AM
It's all really complicated and kind of nerdy, but for those that want to battle competitively, they're necessary to learn.
I believe IV's are Individual Values. They're the base stats every pokemon start out with. Pokemon all have different stats when bred. They can be the same type, gender, and nature, but will grow differently. One pokemon will have their stats grow slowly over time and never reach it's fullest potential, while another will reach those caps easily.
EV's are Effort Values. EV's help boost stats when you train your pokemon. For example, every time your Charizard defeats a Zubat, it not only gains experience, but 1 EV for Speed. If it defeats a Ghastly, it will gain 1 EV for Special Attack. All pokemon have a set limit of EV's it can learn, which is 510 I believe. However, once it reaches 255 EV's in a stat, it is officially maxed out. It will still grow every time you level up, but you can't give it more EV's. It's similar to giving your pokemon carbos, zinc, or an HP Up, but without having to find or buy them.
It's a lot to learn, and if you just want to have fun it's best not to worry about it. You can beat the normal game just fine without worrying about them. However, if you want to battle competitively, or do Battle Frontier and Battle Tower, it's necessary.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 13, 2009, 07:09:23 PM
LOL, so there are two types. I thought I was just forgetting what they were called when I couldn't remember if they were IVs or EVs. Yeah, I stay away from that stuff. I don't get to play too many people at the game anyways.

Post by: Mop it up on July 14, 2009, 12:35:17 AM
I hate that stupid statistical stuff, I'm glad you don't have to do any of that to get through the main game or else I'd never have finished it. I just bought a bunch of the stat-boosting items from the store and forced them down the Pokémon's throat until they were too disgusted to drink any more. And those items increase their affection too, so I got a whole bunch of Return TMs and created an army who used the powers of... love!

EV training isn't too hard, especially if you watch tv or something while you do it. It's cheaper than buying the vitamins to boost them. They do make the game needlessly more complicated, though. I kind of wish for the days when it wasn't in the game. I almost quit playing through LeafGreen when I realized what Natures were and how they worked with your Pokemon.

The 'special traits' or whatever they are were a bit of putting to me. Now a Pokemon that should be weak to ground moves has a 'hover' ability that makes them immune? Kind of a double edged sword. I don't hate them, but I'd rather they weren't in the game.
All this fanangled EV-IV-Trait-Behavior junk has killed any interest I had to doing any local tournaments.

I didn't like any of the new features added into Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald such as the natures and the dual battles, they just made the battles more random and tedious. I guess that stuff is probably all going to be added to this remake...

Biggest advancement in the blasted series so far...
There is an item that you can attach to a pokemon, when the baby breeds it will pass along the IV of that stat!
Finally! I can relax!
Oh and I love the extra abilities of the pokemon, it's almost like a 5th move and it really adds more depth to battling. Unlike the whole IV system. Thouh the IV system was more or less in the original games, it's only now one can really really affect it after literaly hundreds of hours of breeding. And without any dodrio mode who in the HELL wants to do that?
The physical special split, just about brought me back to competing with people, but the IV thing really bumed me out. But every day I just try to tell meself, breed about 20, see which is best and us it. But with this new item happening, at least I can ensure one or 2 of my stats to be the maximum on my pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on January 20, 2010, 05:52:12 PM
I don't really worry about IVs. I just get the right nature pokemon and then EV train it. It takes a while to get the right natured pokemon. So I don't want to worry about IVs.

What was everyone's teams back on the original versions and will you go with the same team or do you plan to change it up some? I'm thinking I'll keep the core team but adjust a few of them to better balance out everyone. My original Blue version team had a prevalent weakness to electric and I recall still having an issue with it in my changed up Gold version team.
I know for sure I will have Scizor and Kabutops but outside of them I'm open to changing things up drastically.

Let me think. I tend to try out different teams for each game.
I had Typhlosion,Alakazam,Blastoise,Victreebell,Electrode,Starmie in Silver.
For this game I know I am going to use Feralagator,Infernape,Espeon,Absol,Roserade and Wishcash

The team I ended Pokémon Gold with was just one which helped me through the game, it wouldn't have been suitable for competing with other players. I had:
Ampharos Ho-oh Lapras Snorlax Tyflosion Pichu
Looking at that, I can already tell that team is rather weak against Rock-types, as only Lapras can really damage them. I'm sure there are other weaknesses which would become apparent vs. players, as well. Snorlax wasn't there for the Elite 4 as that one's not available until after that; I had Togepi in there instead. I liked the Metronome attack because of its unpredictability.

No, I forgot my DS last time I went but I'll survive. We did travel a good 35 minutes to download arceus though from Toys R Us.
yeah, i've been pretty busy. :P

So starting on February 27th and going till March 13th Gamestops in the US and Puerto Rico will be having a Jirachi giveaway. The last time Jirachi was given away was with a preorder for Pokemon Colosseum for the GameCube. Also Jirachi unlocks something in Heart Gold and Soul Silver when transferred from Pearl, Diamond and Platinum. I have no idea if the PC Jirachi will unlock something in HG and Soul Silver so I would grab this Gamestop Jirachi ASAP starting February 27th.

Post by: Halbred on February 22, 2010, 03:19:27 PM
So it's a download like the Pichu, right? Not a pre-order thing?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on February 22, 2010, 03:27:46 PM
Yeah it is a Download like Pichu.There is already a preorder bonus for these games.The Ho-oh and Lugia figurines.
I was just saying that the last time Jirachi was given away it was on the preorder disk for Pokemon Colosseum.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on February 22, 2010, 03:34:54 PM
Just making sure. This is pretty exciting! I missed out on the Arceus download at Toys 'R' Us so long ago, and my current Jirachi was acquired through...questionable means, so I'm happy to have the opportunity to get a "real" one.
This is also cool because my Jirachi and Pichu will be instantly added to my HeartGold team. My only question now is whether I'll need to borrow my friend's DS to transfer Pokemon from Platinum to HeartGold. I know I'll probably have to, which is kind of a bother, but it would be nice if there was some kind of workaround. Maybe create an account somewhere and "send" some Pokemon into a private box, then download those Pokemon into any DS Pokemon game.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on February 22, 2010, 03:53:50 PM
I have a similar problem. I only have my DS Lite and Platinum. We could when we get our Pokedex in our respective games we could trade over our team to each others games. For example. You when you get your Jirachi and Pichu you can trade it to my Soul Silver from Platinum. I will hold them than I trade over my team that I want to use to your Heart Gold than we trade back our pokemon.I give you back your pokemon and you give me back my team. That would benefit both of us.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on February 22, 2010, 04:05:00 PM
That sounds good. We just hold onto the Pokemon we want on our Gold/Silver teams? If there's no workaround, I'm totally down with that. I'll figure out my Pokemon Platinum code after work.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on February 22, 2010, 04:11:58 PM
Yeah we keep each others team until we get the games. Speaking of which I should try and get the pokemon that I am transfering from Platinum.I have a few pokemon I need to catch.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on February 22, 2010, 04:22:06 PM
I'll get you my Pearl and Platinum codes. I'm going to release all my illegit Pokemon from Pearl (I never play it anyway). I will then decide which Pokemon I want to move over to HeartGold...

The Jirachi unlocks a new area for the PokeWalker that has some rare/special Pokemon in it, and also comes with a move it couldn't learn previously (Draco Meteor).
Although the Pichu can go jump off a cliff for all I care. I'm only getting it for cloning/redistribution purposes.

Pearl: 4082 1630 9433
My suggestion is to make two teams you want to move over. I've done the same, one in Pearl and one in Platinum. I'll PM you when I get my copy!

I take it you go by Halbred as your name ingame. In Platinum I go by DANIEL.

Ah, good point. I don't know if the name matters...the friend code itself is more important. I think I'm Selena in Pearl and Brandy in Platinum (I picked female trainers).

Though in a lot of Wii games they just ask for a name to place next to the code on your list. They don't compare names because I have entered in different names and it works just fine.

For those that missed the Gamestop Pichu giveaway right now till March 25th there is a Wi-Fi event. Just turn on your DS and select Mystery Gift. This is for Pearl,Diamond,and Platinum. If you already have the Pichu you can not get another one.

Just to let everbody know TODAY is the last day to pick up Jirachi at gamestop.Nintendo might put it up on NWC like the Pichu so there is a chance that you could get it but I would grab it now is you haven't already done so. I got my Jirachi yesterday. Level 5,Adamant nature,Serene Grace,Liechi berry, Wish,Confusion,Rest,Draco Meteor. Anybody get a different nature?

I've seen GameStops open earlier for Pokemon games, rather than do midnight releases, since more kids than adults are interested in the series. Find yourself a 24-hour Wal-Mart if you want to get it sooner.

Dude, my Walmart is terrible. Last time I went to get a game, Mario Kart Wii, they didn't even know they had it in the back and this was 11 am mind you, the day of it's release.

Call them up today and see if they've got it in and are holding it for tomorrow, then find out what time they'll bring it out.
In my town, when a big game comes out, you can bet Wal-Mart is going to have an employee go get the game at midnight so people can buy it, which sounds a bit different from your Mario Kart Wii experience.

I would if I didn't preorder the game from Gamestop. :P I preorder from there because the people who work there know me pretty well. Not enough to be actual friends, but we're on a first name basis and they give me free stuff from time to time. Like I got the golden lancer without a preorder or special edition of Gears of War and got extra GH5 points cards. Which I'm sure they're not suppose to, but I'm not saying anything haha.

I only got around to raising one team Halibred. I could throw together another team together in a few days if you don't mind the wait. Edit:I just remembered about the legendary team. I will get that ready after I hatch my final pokemon. Edit 2: Ok I have my legendary team together. Arceus,Mew, Moltres,Jirachi, Articuno, and Zapdos. My normal team will be Espeon, Absol,Roserade, Infernape, Wishcash and Pichu* *Pichu I am just bringing over so I have 6 to trade over. Feralagator I will get ingame. Oh all of my team will be the first evolution of my team for Soul Silver.

Post by: BeautifulShy on March 14, 2010, 05:45:21 PM
Halbred I think I figured how we are going to do this. First you need to get 12 pokemon in your HeartGold. They can be 12 pidgys or whatever. Once you do that I am going to go into the Platinum Union room while you go in your HeartGold union room.It is in the pokemon center. Once we done that you will trade 6 of those pokemon you caught to my platinum.You should have one of my teams. After that you will do the same with my second team. Then you trade over your team to my SS while I trade over those 12 pokemon to your Pearl and platinum. After that we should have each others teams on Heart Gold and Soul Silver. We finally use the union room in HG and SS to trade our teams over to our games.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on March 14, 2010, 07:08:54 PM
Sounds good. I borrowed my friend's DS Lite for another purpose, but I'm going to see how the trading works between HG and Pearl/Platinum with Pokemons that don't really matter. I can do trading stuff tonight but not tomorrow, but probably the rest of the week, in the evenings.
So it turns out you can't get your Pal Pad until after you beat Falconer at the first gym. Note that the fight is difficult because there're no Electric types before this fight. However, wander through Violet City and south, and you'll find a small patch of grass east of Alph Ruins where you can find Level 6 Mareeps. Power one up to Level 10 and you can blow through the gym.

If you can't/don't want to level up Mareep, there are Geodudes in a route you can get to north of Route 29 (it'll be marked Route 46) or in the cave east of Violet City, and you can trade a Bellsprout for an Onix in Violet City. Both learn Rock Throw which can 1 or 2-shot Falkner.

Love the game. And the pokewalker is addictive. I never imagined the simple little device to be so cool. :D
EDIT:
Well, I just discovered that if you have no pokemon in the walker and you just have it with you while walking, random pokemon will follow you. I know have an oddish because of this. Cool.

How do we keep on getting these remakes over and over? Don't get me wrong, I am eating it up all over again, but I hope nintendo delivers with there talk of new experiences in pokemon.
I hung out with a bunch of super duper ultra nerdy people yesterday, and everyone was going nuts over HG & SS. Many of them were super over weight or just a bit out of shape. I figure if they follow my pokemon program they will burn those extra pounds in no time! If you have access to an exercise bike, sit and play Pokemon on it for at least 20 min once a day, 3-4 times a week. Your mind is consumed by the game, and you get a decent work out.

I s'pose you're right, they're more like a special edition of the game rather than a remake, even if they have a couple of new small features. FireRed and LeafGreen didn't get a special edition game so I doubt these will.

I'm in Goldenrod. I was about to fight Whitney, but I remember that none of my Pokemon are Fighting-types (damn that Miltank!) or, really, leveled-up enough to deal with its attacks. I think I'm gonna try "trading" between my two DS' just to nab my Lv. 30 Hitmonchan from Pearl.

If you get first place in the bug catching contest you can get one.:) I have one on Platinum. I think you can get items from the pokewalker courses. I need to check real quick to see what items you can get.
Edit:Well you can't get a Dusk stone via the pokewalker courses.

My team is rotating around based on need, since I'm trying to review the game within a week. So once I started trading dead weight Pokemon for my unwanted Pearl Pokemon, I started moving through pretty quick-like. I need to trade over my Bibarrel. He's my Swiss-Army HM Slave. I just beat the Ghost gym leader with...basically a combination of Croconaw (Bite) and Gallade (Dark Pulse).
I am, however, trying to fill my Pokedex. Whenever I encounter a new Pokemon, I do try to catch it. I should just trade over ever Gold/Silver Pokemon I can from Pearl. Actually, yeah, why am I not doing that?

I got it in the mail this morning and I've played about an hour into it, time that I really should have spent studying for a quiz I have in an hour. I chose Chikorita, thinking long term as I have other water and fire types that I'd rather use. I'm not crazy enough and can't afford spending the time to try and catch them all, I just want to play through the story.

You can get a Dusk Stone from the pokeathlon dome. It's available on thursdays, for 2500 points. You get points by winning the events, but you even get them for losing, so it should only take a bit of time to get enough!
I caught a golden magikarp in the lake of rage, its my first shiny! I feel cheated...
Does anybody else's pokewalker seem, generous? I've never thought about how many steps I take in a day, but between walking around my job, and walking around campus I've taken around 14,000 a day. I've switched to the clip today, to see if I was getting extra steps from it jostling around, but it seems to be acting the same.
team so far is, Poliwhirl, Jolteon, Hypno, and Murkrow. Also a cyndaquill I want to replace. I'm also using geodude, farfetch'd, and psyduck as HM guys, rotating them in and out based on the situation. So far HM use isn't as ridiculous as it was in Pearl.

It stopped you from evolving something? That seems a little strange.
A friend of mine bounced a turtwig off me into his Gold game, and it didn't stop us. It's funny though because he's not in the dex yet.

No Pokemon's HM use is as bad as in Pearl/Diamond/Platinum. I thought it got out of hand once you had to have half of your team dedicated to HM usage to go anywhere you wanted at any time. They should just leave those obstacles out of the way once you get through it once. Should I really have to re-cut a bush EVERYTIME I want to pass by?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Caterkiller on March 19, 2010, 11:39:49 AM
Does anyone else evolve their pokemon really late in the game? Like I wait until they are like 26 or 30 or something just to get them into their middle stage. For my starters anyway. I feel like I never get to know them and then they learn their moves super late.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on March 19, 2010, 12:16:35 PM
I always evolve mine as soon as possibly unless said evolution would prevent them from learning a move they couldn't otherwise.
I seem to recall that delaying evolution got you the later moves sooner but they suffered in the stats department so in the long run it would hurt your team. Better to have more levels with the boosted stats of the evolved forms I would think.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on March 19, 2010, 01:00:11 PM
Evolution has no affect no long term stats, so you don't have to worry about that. It pretty much just changes what moves they learn and when.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: rbtr on March 19, 2010, 08:11:23 PM
I thought the evolutions had different base stats? Or is that only if you find them in the wild in that form?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on March 19, 2010, 08:15:08 PM
Stats are calculated based on what your Pokemon is at the moment, not what it's been before. Whether you turn a Squirtle into Wartortle at level 16 or 24, when the Wartortle reaches level 28 or whatever level, it's stats won't be affected by when it evolved.
So yes, from 16-23, the Wartortle's stats would be higher than the Squirtle's, but as soon as it evolves at level 24, they'd be the same, unless they fought different Pokemon, in which case they'd be slightly different.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on March 19, 2010, 08:49:45 PM
Yeah what thatguy says is true.
As for evolving pokemon early or keeping it at its base form the lower evolution gets moves quicker than the later forms. Also there may be a case where one of the lower forms gets moves that the later ones don't.There is also the case of when at a certain level it gets a move that the earlier form doesn't get. So it varies on a Pokemon to pokemon basis. When none of these are a factor I typically evolve it to the next form.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on March 19, 2010, 09:07:47 PM
There usually is at least one move that a Pokemon will learn without evolving that it will NOT learn after evolving. This is especially consistent with three-stage forms. However, I've found it's best not to worry about that unless you're playing competatively. Besides, a lot of powerful moves can be purchased or found as TM's.

It doesn't. I believe there was an update done in Japan, but there hasn't been one announced yet in North America for some reason.
So, I've decided I'd raise a Scizor, and I figured while I get it up to the level of my normal team, I'd EV train it like the people who are good at the game do. Why not do it right?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Shaymin on March 20, 2010, 11:12:08 PM
If you got a good draw on the IVs and Technician for the ability, it'll serve you well.
Bullet Punch/X-Scissor (until you can teach it Bug Bite)/Aerial Ace/Rock Smash (yes, Rock Smash) has way more type coverage than you'd think.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on March 20, 2010, 11:27:48 PM
I have no idea what the IV's are, but I traded via the GTS to get a Scyther, then bread it until I got an Adamant and Technician one. Now I've got about 15 spare Scyther, but it really didn't take all that long.
I was thinking about giving it Bullet Punch U-turn/X-Scissor (Probably U-turn, especially if it's 60 BP like I believe it is) Pursuit Aerial Ace/Brick Break/something else (I've seen Ancient Power or something like that mentioned before.) and usually sticking a Choice Band or something on it. That seems pretty standard in competitive play, and any time I'd fight with mine against other people would be casual competitive, so the IVs and such don't need to be perfect. Still, it won't take very long, gaining the EVs will happen simultaneously with leveling up, just in HP and Attack only, and it'll be useful.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on March 20, 2010, 11:36:33 PM
IVs are something that every pokemon is hatched or caught with.Go check the summary of a pokemon.There is a sentence down at the bottom on the page that has the nature all that other info.
This sentence determines how many IVs the pokemon in each stat. I think that 40 IVs in each stat is the max on can get.
I don't really worry about IVs because it takes to long to get good IVs. I tend to just worry about the nature and EVs I put into it. To much work otherwise.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on March 21, 2010, 12:42:25 AM
Oh, I know what IVs are, I'm just not going to worry about them. I'm just saying I don't know the Scizor's IVs. I'm also pretty sure 31 is the highest an IV can be. Also, I believe the sentence is supposed to be more of a hint and less of a clear indicator of the IVs present in a Pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Caterkiller on March 21, 2010, 02:08:35 AM
IV's are what completely made me stop playing the game after catching them all. But now that IV's can be breeded to a baby 100% I'm going to start training again.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Shaymin on March 21, 2010, 09:38:47 AM
U-Turn is 70 power, X-Scissor is 80, Bug Bite would be 60 before Technician (90 AFTER)
Also, someone has cracked the code on getting good IVs by breaking the psuedo-random number generator (http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/). Caution; Reading linked article may cause cases of your head asplode.

I just got to Blackthorn. I have a lot of Pokemon sitting in the PC that I want to evolve, but need Stones to do so. Lots of Leaf Stones, in fact. I'm frustrated because it seems like the only place you can get Stones is the Pokeathelon, which I don't care for because of what it'll do to my DS' screen. I think I'll probably end up buying a bunch of stones in Platinum and just having traded Pokemon hold them on the way over to HeartGold.
Hey, there are Larvitars in the Safari Zone! I have to catch one! Tyranitar is my favorite Pokemon!

Dude, you HAVE to. So many good Pokemans there. I've probably caught 12 or 15 with little to no effort. The Safari Zone in this game is much more forgiving than in previous games. I beat Claire at lunch, and she's being a whiny b*tch, all like "you won, but I'm not giving you the badge, screw you!" Off to the dragon cave, where I intend to find a Dratini.
Funny story: Waltzed into the dragon cave, first trainer I see whips out a Dragonair. First dude in my party is Gyarados. I am faster. I used Ice Fang--takes down half his health. Dragonair uses Thunder. Gets a super-effective critical hit. DEAD in ONE HIT. Screw you, Dragonair. Luckily, Feralgatr effed his sh*t up.

Yeah for my team against Clair I am probably going to use Feralagator and Wishcash. So I just beat Morty, Ghost Gym Leader. Most of the Gym went down to Espeon and its confusion. I had Absol and Croconaw as back ups. Croconaw had Bite and Absol had Pursut. With Absols sky high attack and Pursuit being a Dark type physical atack well Gengar and the last Haunter were no trouble.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on March 23, 2010, 11:05:25 PM
Hmm both are good. If you want to go in order of release than I would go with either Heart Gold or soul silver. Since your last Pokemon was Yellow the next games in the series was Silver and gold and Crystal. Than Ruby and Sapphire and Emerald. Fire red and Leaf Green. Finally the 4th gen games. Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.
I got back into the series with Platinum. It is pretty easy in my opinion. The only real trouble you would likely have is with the Elite 4 in Platinum. Pearl and Diamond's Elite 4 I have heard is easier than Platinum. So far I really am not having much trouble with Soul Silver. Both the 4th gen games have access to the GTS which is a way to get pokemon from around the world from people.

Well I just beat Jasmine. Her Steelix was a problem. 2 of my pokemons attacks weren't effective. My Espeon had Psycic and normal attacks.So I used Espeon so I could revive my Sleeper Roselia. Absol had Dark and normal attacks so I used Leer on Steelix to make my psysical attacks more effective. My Monferno's Flame Wheel worked once it was range of attack. I had Barbabroch to take on his Magnimite. Most of my team was in the mid 20's I had a few that were level 23. Tough battle.Steelix was level 35 and the Magnimites were level 30.
Now all my pokemon I can raise to level 70 so I will raise my team a bit more. Get everybody to evolve to their last evolution except Roselia. Need to get the proper move set for it.

You can get heart scales in the pokeathalon, and also from breaking rocks.
Elite 4 is pretty crazy, but as long as you know your types, you should only really need to be around 45. A great way to train for the elite 4 is to fight them over and over. That or victory road, and the route before hand depending on what type you're training. Just made it to Kanto myself!

Just beat Clair. I had problems with Gyarados and Kingdra. Gyarados I had to use Stun spore to slow him down. Roselia was my lead. I swtiched to Absol and set up Swords Dance on him and I used Pursuit and Quick attack to beat Gyarados. The 2 Dragonairs were not really a problem. I used Feralagator and its Ice Fang to beat them. I also used Taunt on them so they couldn't use Thunder wave.
Kingdra was a pain. The majority of my team was beat except Feralagator.
My team was Roselia at level 35,Espeon at level 36, Absol at level 35. Infernape at level 37,Wishcash at level 39, and Feralagator at level 34. So I am going to try to get everybody up to level 50 for the Elite 4. Also does anybody know when the Battle Frontier opens up?

Ampharos would've tore Clair's team apart.

Hello gang! BP take forever to get so I would like some help from anyone willing. This is all done in the Battle Frontier.
What I want to do is get these items: Power Band, Power Belt, Power Bracer, Power Anklet, Power Weight and Power Lense. I have several pokemon with Maximum IV's in certain stats, and wouldn't mind helping anyone of they wanted to use them to breed. You attach those items, then the baby will guaranteed have the save IV.
Basicly if anyone can help me get some of these we can just trade them back and forth until everyone has their own.

Heh. I got frustrated and used the Giratina that I'd imported from Pearl to pank Lance. Dude's got THREE Dragonites. Now I'm in Vermillion City, determined to beat everyone else the "right" way. I beat all of Lt. Surge's trainers with Lucario, but I wonder what surprises Surge himself has up his sleeve.

Post by: TJ Spyke on March 29, 2010, 06:41:55 PM
If you use the same Pokemon as you did with the Elite 4, then the majority of Kanto's Gym Leaaders will be easy (only Blue/Gary of Viridian City is tough as his Pokemon are Lvs. 54-58)
They bumped Lance's other Dragonites? In the original G/S/C, one was 50 and two were 47. I had a tough time as I didn't bring and Ice Pokemon. Aerodactly was indeed tough.
Capturing Snorlax is annoying. It keeps healing itself with Leftovers, and anytime I tried using something like Thunder Wave, it would just use Rest.
BTW, I am willing to admit that I don't waste move slots on useless things like Light Screen, Screech, etc.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Mop it up on March 29, 2010, 08:11:21 PM
I used the Master Ball on Snorlax. I know it probably wasn't the best use of it, but that thing is tough to capture, and too awesome to go without.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 29, 2010, 08:16:57 PM
The Master Ball is really better for the legendaries that run. Snorlax is annoying, but it won't run away (and Rest only has 10 PP, so eventually it will run out of that move).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on March 29, 2010, 08:22:33 PM
Well I used my Masterball on Lugia earlier. I was kinda in a rush and I used it.
Anyway I am at the Elite 4 and most of my team is at level 40 or near it. My Roselia is 35 because I swapped it out for my HM user.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on March 29, 2010, 08:31:39 PM
40 and under? That will be tough to win (ESPECIALLY Lance), but it's possible if you have the right team and you have plenty of healing items.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on March 29, 2010, 08:43:17 PM
Dude, level your team up. I'd recommend Lv. 45. You'll need a strong Electric-type, a strong Fighting-type, a good Psychic, and a Dragon or Ice-type. Try to have either a Dark type OR a Pokemon that is resistant to Psychic attacks that knows a good Dark move.
I can totally post a list of the Elite Four and their Pokemon here, if anyone wants it.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

Guys I am probably going to raise my pokemon. Most likely 55 for everybody. I tend to use water types with Ice type moves to deal with Dragons. Gonna use this team that I have for the whole game.

At least one of his Dragonites knows Thunder.

And he is annoyingly accurate with it considering that Thunder has a 70% accuracy rate. His Dragonites will also abuse the hell out of Hyper Beam.

My Wishcash is a water/ground type. Hyperbeam is a special attack now so I just need a pokemon with high special defence.

TJ, you've never noticed that enemies are ALWAYS luckier with their attacks than you are? Poison Sting is effective like 10% of the time. EXCEPT when it's used by a rival trainer. Then it's like 60% effective. Crap like that--the Pokemon equivalent of the Blue Shell--really annoys me.

All the randomness in Pokemon is messed up. I don't know how they are seeding their number or whatever, but it kills me.
I've had fire blast miss for all 5 of its PP once. Given it's an 85% move, that means I triggered a 15% event 5 times in a row? That's insanity but I witnessed it.
Of course, there is that hidden evasiveness stat that I don't fully understand, so I guess that could be the culprit. The pokemon I was fighting wasn't using double team or anything though.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on March 30, 2010, 01:07:28 PM
I believe the "hidden evasiveness stat" you're talking about is just something like a 1/256 chance of an attack missing. All but the never-miss attacks have that 1/256 chance of missing, in addition to their normal hit-rate.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

Well starting April 1st and going till May 5th there will be a new Pokewalker course called Yellow Forest. What is so special about this course? Well it is a course with 2 special Pikachu. One that has fly and one that has surf. There are other Pikachu so getting these 2 pikachu will lessen the odds of finding one.
As for the current topic of discussion do you think that different pokemon have different evasion rates? Like a Snorlax would have a low evasion rate and a Jumpluff would have a high evasion rate?

As Pale said it is a mystery gift. Select Mystery Gift then Nintendo Wi-Fi connection from the title screen. Oh before I forget to get the Surf and Fly Pikachu to show up in your pokewalker you need a certain amount of steps on the pokewalker to make them appear.

They changed the way accuracy works as of GSC so that doesn't happen. A 100% accurate move is 100% accurate unless BrightPowder, Double Team or the Battle Frontier is in play.

Hmm I just checked my pokewalker and all of my steps are gone.Watts are still there though.
You need 10,000 steps on the pokewalker to get the Flying Pikachu. Surf Pikachu you need 9,500 steps.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: rbtr on March 31, 2010, 05:42:41 PM
It only counts steps for each individual day, and watts are sent back after every "stroll". As far as Pokemon available for catching, it splits them into three groups, common, uncommon, and rare. There's 6 pokemon available per course, 2 for each group. Every "stroll" it pulls one pokemon from each group for you to catch. Naturally, in this case, Fly pikachu, and surf pikachu are both in group C. So every time you take a walk on the course you have a chance for one or the other, but not both, and there's no way to tell until you transfer them back.
10,000 steps really isn't that much. On days when I work, and have class I average about 20k. Of course, not everybody may have the same oppurtunities to walk, in that case there's dozens of ways to cheat the walker.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

Well I beat Lance.Here was my team. Espeon,Wishcash,Roselia,Feralagatr,Absol,Infernape. Infernape was my highest at level 50 and my lowest was Roselia at level 41. Feralagatr had my only Ice type move and was at level 44. Fealagatr beat the level 50 Dragonite. My complete time was 32 hours and 18 mins. My Platinum complete time was 57 hours and 34 mins. My platinum team was in its 60's when I beat the elite 4. I attribute the Platinum time to me not really being familar with the Sinnoh region and EV training my pokemon. I also bred lots of pokemon in Platinum.

My team so far is: Lvl 32 Togekiss Lvl 32 Feraligatr Lvl 31 Crobat Lvl 19 Larvitar Lvl 30 Magneton Lvl 29 Kangaskhan
Probably gonna turn Kangaskhan into my HM bitch and train up Larvitar some more. Also I didn't relaise Magneton had some bullshit evolving technique that can't be replicated in HG/SS. I don't want to trade it my old game just to evolve it, **** that noise.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 02, 2010, 07:37:35 PM
Well I am up against The Psychic gym. The level 55 Alakazam is a pain. It has Psychic,EnergyBall,Skill Swap and Reflect. Whenever I send in my Absol it uses Skill swap before I can taunt it and Alakazam takes my Super Luck ability from Absol which makes Critical hits more likely. I need to raise my team more.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 02, 2010, 08:03:16 PM
Oh, Sabrina? Yeah, she sucks. I beat her last night, actually. My Gallade took care of her first two Pokemon pretty easily (he knows Night Slash). He took down most of the Alakazam's HP before dying, then Lucario finished the job.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 02, 2010, 08:13:08 PM
I have Galade as well on Platinum. I used my Feralagatr versus the Espeon. It knows Crunch. Espeon used Psychic but Feralagatr survived. Espeon had about a quarter of its health. Feralagtr was at level 45 while I think Espeon was level 52. I switched in Absol on the Psychic and I used Pursuit to take it down. I kept in Absol for Alakazam and thankfully it didn't use Skill Swap. So I used Slash and Pursuit to finish it off. Mr.Mime wasn't really any problem It tried to use Mimic on my Absol but it got Pursuit. Mr.My attack and defence is its lowest. So I just kept on Pursuiting. Absol should get Night Slash the next level.

I haven't played the re-makes, but have you tried the method used in the original games? In Gold/Silver/Crystal, you walk up to Snorlax and tune the Radio into the Pokemon Flute station.

Did you get the Kanto expansion card? I just looked this up at the GameFAQs for the remake:
Go onto the radio card, then drag the cursor to the top manually. You should be able to hear the familiar Poke Flute sound. Close the radio now and save. Talk to Snorlax and it will attack!

So I beat Gary a few days ago. He has a Trick Room team but thankfully he didn't get to use it. His Gyarados was a pain. Anyway I am at Mt. Silver and I need to know what HMs I need to use to get to Red. Let me know if you know.:) In the meantime I am going to level up my team. Beat Gary at level 55. Red's pokemon are in their 80's.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 10, 2010, 02:23:53 AM
I beat Gary today, actually. He wasn't so bad, but everyone on my team is around level 55. I'm training a Dragonair and just got a Larvitar in a Global Trade (not from overseas, unfortunately, more like Oregon). I'm not ready for Mt. Silver yet. I'm pretty sure you'll need ALL the HMs, Maxi. My recommendation is to take along one HM slave and give the Water-based HM moves to one or more of your strong Water-type Pokemon, if you have one or more.
For example, my Feraligatr knows Waterfall, and Gyarados knows Surf. I leave everything else to Bibarrel.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 10, 2010, 09:48:12 AM
I don't know how they changed Mt. Silver for the remakes, but in the original games you didn't need any HM's if you only wanted to get to Red/Ash (you could use Flash though since the cave is pitch-black). You only needed other HMs if you wanted to explore the cave for items, and even then you only needed Waterfall.
Red is tough though. even tougher in the remakes. I just checked GameFAQs and this is his team in the remakes:
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Shaymin on April 10, 2010, 06:52:45 PM
At minimum you need Rock Climb, and there's a couple of smashable rocks lying around.
If you want to get a flaming chicken, you'll also need Waterfall (and as a result, Surf).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 11, 2010, 01:52:22 AM
Well I beat the Elite 4 the second time around.
I had some problems the first few times. I got to Lance my first 2 times. But Gyarados beat me. So this time around I taught a few of my Pokemon a few moves. On Infernape I put a choice scarf on it and got rid of Taunt for stealth rock. I lead with Infernape and threw up the rocks.All of Lances Pokemon are weak to Rock except Garchomp. Salamence used Dragon Claw and it took two turns to beat Infernape. After Infernape died I sent out My Feralagtr which I taught Rock slide to to help with Gyarados. I used Ice Fang on Salamence and it was finished. In comes Gyarados and it used its ability on me Intimidate on me making my psychical attacks weaker. I used Rock Slide and is didn't really do much. It used Dragon Dance and it kept on doing waterfall after that. I managed to beat Gyarados. Next comes Garchomp and it used Outrage. I taught my Wishcash Ice beam before facing Lance and gave it Nevermeltice. I managed to get it down to the 25 percent mark. I revived my Infernape and it had 1 close combat left. I outran Garchomp and beat it. Next comes in Altera and I sent in my espeon since Wishcash and Feralagtr were hurt. Alteria used Double team while I was healing and it beat my Espeon with Dragonpulse.Espeon had half of its life left. I bring in Wishcash and use Ice Beam and I get a critical hit. Level 75 Dragonite comes in I send out Feralagtr and use a X defend. It uses Draco Meteor which is a special attack and it also lowers the users special attack allot. I use a Dire hit item which increase the likelyhood of Critical hits. I keep healing while Dragonite uses Draco Meteor. When I only take a small amount of damage from Draco Meteor I use Ice Fang and I get a critical hit.
This time around most of my Pokemon were low 60's.
My completion time this time around was 53:51.

Nope it is different in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Also there is tougher trainers in the game than Lance. First of all you can fight the Gym Leaders again and then there is Red which has Pokemon in its 80's. If anyone wants some help with the Elite 4 the second time around I will be glad to help.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 11, 2010, 07:33:34 AM
Ha ha ha I beat Red!
Most of my team was in its low 60's.Ursaring was level 33.:/
I led with Wishcash which had Earthquake. Since I led with a ground type versus Pikachu it couldn't use it's electric attacks volt tackle and Thunderbolt. It had to use Iron Tail and Quick attack. I got lucky and Iron Tail missed. Finished it with Earthquake. Next came out Venasaur. Venasaur had Sleep Powder,Sludge Bomb,Giga Drain, and Frenzy Plant. I used Infernape and used Flare Blitz. It almost beat Venasaur and Red healed him. The Hail hit him and went down a little. I used Flare Blitz and managed to beat Venasaur. Next came out Blastoise. It has Blizzard, Flash Cannon,Focus Blast and probably a water attack. Blizzard hits 100% when it is hailing. Focus Blast is a Special fighting attack that is powerful but it has 70% acceracy. I sent out my Roserade that had a choice scarf.The only way that I could be faster than Blastoise.I used Sleep Powder and it fell asleep.I started healing my team. Once I healed my team I tried to put Blastoise asleep again but he woke up and used Blizzard. I sent out Feralagatr. Only Focus Blast would be effective and as long as I healed properly I would out stall him. I used Crunch and Rock Slide. I had a Hard Stone attached to Feralagatr. Crunch had a secondary effect of lowering the foes defence. I got a critical hit from Rock slide and I managed to beat it with a crunch. Next was Charizard. He had Flamethrower,Air Slash, Dragon pulse and something else. I kept out Feralagatr and used Rock Slide. Since Charizard is a fire/flying type Rock type attacks are 4 times effective. I managed to outlast him. Next came Snorlax. My Infernape had fainted so I sent out my HM user,Ursaring you only need Rock Climb and Rock Smash to get to Red. Anyway I used a Max Revive on Infernape and let Ursaring get hit with Blizzard.I brought in Infernape and used Close Combat.Snorlax was down.I kept in Infernape for Lapras and used Close Combat again. Lapras is a water/ice type.Fifhting is effective versus ice.I got it down to 30 percent. Lapras used Brine,a water type attack, which does more damage if the user has less than half life. So Infernape was gone again. I sent out Wishcash which was in the red.I used another max Revive on Infernape.Lapras use Dragon Pulse. I bring in Infernape and finish it off with Close Combat. Absol didn't really do anything to help.
Anyway now I can get to choose one of the Kanto and Hoeen starters. I don't have a Blastoise on any of my games. I have a Swampert on Platinum. Don't have Blaziken or Septile. I think I am going to go with the Grass Hoeen starter.

Nope it is different in Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
Just to make it clear, that's how it was in Gold and Silver too. Only Red/Blue/Yellow had you facing your rival after beating the Elite 4.

I was wandering through Cerulean Cave on a whim, collecting items and looking for Pokemon for the 'Dex. Guess who I came across? That's right, MEWTWO!
Master Ball'd him. Level 70, bitches! His moveset is almost useless in terms of Elite Four fighting, though. Only one offensive attack, and it's not even Psychic. It's Psychic Cutter or whatever that attack is called.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 26, 2010, 10:47:08 PM
Well Psycho Cutter is the physical type attack of Psychic. Mewtwo has good stats all around except for the defences. They are really the only problem with the stats. So Mewtwo can be a physical or special attacker. What nature is it?

Wow, they added everyone to this game. Kinda cool to see all the old 'cool' legendarys appearing like this.
I'm having trouble beating the ghost gym leader. I have some pokemon that can beat the ghastly/haunter/gengars but they have no good moves. Sandshrew sucks a lot more than I remember. :P

Well if you have a fast Psychic type like Alakazam then you can outspeed them.You might of gotten a choice scarf from when your mom buys items for you so that might help. Dark types work well as well.
Is it possible to catch Mewtwo with anything but a masterball?
Yes it is possible but hard. In Red and Blue I think I used a Ultra Ball.In the new games there are timer balls.Timer balls are more effective the longer the match goes. Dusk balls work better if the area that you are in is dark or at night.

I think part of the problem is I hate grinding so I am avoiding doing so. I also recently restructured my team into what I think is close to my final elite 4 group so I lost one of my stronger team members in the process and have a number of weaker ones in it's place.
I plan on switching out Ghastly for Kabuto once I can acquire one. I also have a Pidgeotto I could call upon but I would prefer to have the experience go to my chosen team so they require less grinding on voctory road.
Scyther knows Pursuit and Psyduck knows Confusion but both don't have much resistance to Gengar's Shadow Ball.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on April 27, 2010, 05:19:36 AM
Late teens to early 20s.
I'm hoping sandshrew picks up a good ground attack so I can take advantage of gengar's poison type weakness. I tend to avoid using TMs until near the end of the game when I better know the strategies I will employ and moves I want on my final team. Also I prefer to not risk losing tms until I find a place to resupply them if needed. Also you never know when a cool move I want to try will appear on a pokemon after a level up.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 27, 2010, 05:56:20 AM
Well here is the thing the Gastly line of pokemon have the ability Levitate which prevents any ground type attacks from working on those pokemon.Psychic and Dark types attacks work best. Yeah I play the same as you for the most part with TMs. Sandshrew gets Earthquake later which is the best ground type attack. Try to get your pokemon up to Level 25.
Also try using scyther on the ghosts as it can use pursuit which is a physical attack and the ghosts have less defense than special defence.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

I think my scyther got the raw end of the deal in terms of defense because shadow ball drops him in a hit or two.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 27, 2010, 03:12:01 PM
If you have a Metal Coat, you and I could trade each-other's Scythers for Scizors (then trade back again). Higher defense might = win.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on April 27, 2010, 03:26:19 PM
You want to breed a Scyther, make sure it has Technician for an ability and Adamant for its nature, turn it into Scizor, then give it Bullet Punch. You'll wind up with a tank with the same-type bonus, technician bonus, and attack priority. The thing is entirely too durable and devastates anything that's not a fire type, for the most part.
It's definitely the best Pokemon I've had on my team so far this time around, and getting the right nature is really worth it in this case. Bullet Punch looks weak with 40 base damage, but when you add in all the bonuses, in a neutral, non-super effective hit, it actually has a 90 base damage with the bonuses I mentioned, putting it about as strong as surf on a non-water Pokemon.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 27, 2010, 03:30:27 PM
Could somebody explain Natures to me? And I thought that Abilities were unique to each Pokemon. That is, all Teddiursas have, I dunno...SOMETHING. All Weepinbells have some other thing. But Abilities differ between Pokemon too?
Seems like there's a whole level I've not gotten around to exploring.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: that Baby guy on April 27, 2010, 03:35:44 PM
Most Pokemon have one single possible nature, but some have more. Scyther has one that ups the power of bug attacks when he has low health, and another, Technician, which raises the strength of attacks that have 60 base power or less. Technician is considered the better nature for Scyther and Scizor because it has wider, more battle-relevant applications.
As far as natures go, it's pretty simple, but you'll want to look up a chart if you decide to care about them. Adamant gives Scizor 10% more attack when his stats increase than a normal Scyther, but also gives 10% less Special Attack. It's a good nature for a Scyther or Scizor because they mostly use physical attacks, rather than special ones. The various natures raise one stat's growth by 10% while reducing another's by 10%, except for a few, which don't alter stats at all.

I'll trade with you, Halbred. Only thing is I need a metal coat. I might have one in Platinum somewhere. where do you get it in gold/silver?
Thanks for the points thatguy. When I start going all out on the breeding I'll try that out as Scyther/Scizor is my favorite mainstay pokemon by far so anything that boosts his power is a plus for me.

Isn't Slash a 60 base power? Most of the branching type 'Slash' attacks also have base 60 IIRC and since that has a high critical hit ratio then it could be quite deadly. Night/Dark Slash with Technician would be pretty killer.
Scyther already has a poor special so no problem gimping it more for more physical strength.
On the note of Scyther/Scizor, is there anyway to breed Megahorn, the power 120 bug move, into him?
...dang, for the first time since the original gold/silver I'm actually getting interested in deeper level breeding. Crazy.

Stratos, I found mine in HeartGold...if you play with the SS Aqua captain's daughter for awhile, he'll give you one as a reward (I think). I remember when I got it, I was like "Now I need a Scyther...or maybe an Onix."
Actually, there must be two ways to get it, because I used one of them on my Onix to get Steelix (gotta fill up that 'Dex) and I gave the other one to my Scyther.

Those extra critical attacks have a BP of 70, not 60, so they don't match up quite so well. He can't learn Megahorn, but he can get U-turn and the Bug-type slash move, both work well for him, so does Pursuit.

Yeah all of this is correct. Zapdos is over on the side of the Power Plant in Kanto. Power Plant is near Cerulean City. Fly to that city and head east. There will be a pokemon center at the end of Route 9 and you can exchange the Pokemon you want.You need Surf on one of them.Zapdos is out on the side of the power plant.Save the game before you fight Zapdos. Zapdos is level 50.Discharge,Agility,Charge,Ancient Power are its moves.

So Articuno and Zapdos are in the same spots they were in Red/Blue/Yellow? Moltres couldn't be because it was in the mansion on Cinnabar Island, but the only thing left on that island is a Pokemon Center.

Yeah pretty much TJ Spike. Also in Red and Blue Moltres was on Victory Road. :) The only real good things to find in the mansion on Cinabar Island was the secret key, SolarBeam TM, and some notes on Mew. Magmar could be found in the blue version I believe as well. Moltres is on Mt. Silver in the SS/HG games. You take the left path when you enter. Right path goes to Red.

Caught Articuno last night after what seemed like an endless battle. I was basically pwning him with my Lv. 72 Venusaur. I had him down to ONE HP and he was asleep. Whenever he woke up, he'd attack, then I'd put him back to sleep.
I used THREE Ethers (on Sleep Powder) and ALL of my Ultra Balls (I had like 21) and several Hyper Potions because Articuno has Ice Beam, which does massive damage Venusaur. I ran out of Ultra Balls. Articuno perpetually escaped, even though he had ONE HP and was ASLEEP continuously. I ran through about half my Great Balls before I caught him.
I hate legendary fights like that. It's like you have to flip ten coins and get all heads, even when the conditions for capture are just right. Next stop, Zapdos.
Anyone know where Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are hiding?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on April 28, 2010, 08:25:26 PM
Which version do you have? Kyogre is exclusive to HeartGold, Groudon is exclusive to SoulSilver. You will encounter your versions Pokemon in the Embedded Tower. Apparently the battle with Kyogre will have permanent rain during the battle, while the battle with Groudon with clear skies or sunny weather.
Rayquaza is also in Embedded Tower. To encounter him though, you need to have caught one of the above two Pokemon AND have the opposite one, but it HAS to be from HeartGold/SoulSilver (so if you have HeartGold, you need to have caught Kyogre plus have a Groudon from SoulSilver, you can't have a Groudon from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald).

I know, that is annoying. If you just want Rayquaza and don't care about catching it in HG/SS, you could just trade one from D/P/PL. You could also have someone let you borrow their legendary so you can get the Jade Orb (which you need to get Rayquaza to appear), and then give it back.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 29, 2010, 02:02:44 PM
I caught Kyogre (Lv. 50) last night after some effort. He went down much easier than Articuno, but he still has some annoying tendances. Looks like he has a new attack called "Water Spout" which seems to be an uber-powerful Water move. It even messed up my Feraligatr. The biggest problem is that he's quick to use Aqua Ring when he's not asleep, so even if you get him down to one or two HP, he's gaining HP every time he escapes from the Pokeball, even if he's asleep.
Now I need to trade for Groudon from SoulSilver with somebody! Any takers?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on April 29, 2010, 02:09:04 PM
Water Spout isn't new. Basically the more HP Kyogre has the more powerful it is.As Kyogre loses HP in battle the less powerful it is.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on April 29, 2010, 10:01:39 PM
Caught Zapdos. He was much easier to keep down, as my Lv. 72 Venusaur was basically immune to his attacks. Still, I went through like 30 Pokeballs before he decided to stay in there. Gotta hit up Moltres next, which will suck, because Venusaur doesn't like Fire attacks.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Shorty McNostril on April 30, 2010, 05:02:25 PM
Well he doesn't like Ice attacks either but you eventually got your Articuno. If you can do one you can probably do the other. Didn't Zapdos use any flying attacks against your Venusaur? That would have dropped some health.
Rabicle:
What level is your team at? I had everything at level 40-41 when I fought her. My team:
I tried and failed the one time, so I took them all up a few levels each and I taught blizzard to poliwhirl. (Can buy it from the goldenrod shop) At first I thought about training up my Jinx and some swinub but they were back at level 20 and I didn't have the patience to double their levels on wild battles.
Lead with an electric pokemon and one hit KO the Gyarados she will start with. Then swap him out for something with a good ice attack for the 2 dragonairs, then switch back to the electric for the Kingdra. Take some max revives in case flatten your ice or electric. I Only used 2 pokemon when I fought and won the 2nd time. That is the only battle I've lost in the game thus far.

I think all the legendary birds have the same attacks, but differ in their elementals. Zapdos had Charge, Discharge, Agility, and Ancientpower. Articuno had Ice Beam, Agility, Ancientpower, and Reflect.
Going after Moltres today, although I might also start looking for the Legendary Dogs.
According to Serebii, Moltres knows Flamethrower and Air Slash, so Venusaur is going to be in trouble.

Beat the Elite 4 and Lt. Surge today. I had been waiting on getting a Rhyperior and the TM for Ice Beam before I went in (and you know, finals). I faced them almost immediately after I got what I needed. I also finally managed to get 10,000 coins. Since I already was getting the TM I was saving for, I just got Thunderbolt instead. My team was all lvl 45 and consisted of: Jynx, Ampharos, Jumpluff, Dragonair, Typlosion, and Rhyperior.
Karen surprisingly gave me the most trouble. That Houndour took out most of my team. Surprisingly, it was Jumpluff that took him out. Leach seed and headbutt combined with the sheer luck of making it flinch 3 times in a row did it for me. Jynx and Ice Beam made Lance a pushover. Everyone else was pretty easy though. Dragonair got the least amount of use which was a bit odd, I suppose.

Just tryin' to fill the Pokedex, sir. I've got plenty of battle-ready Pokemon. I can roll through the Elite Four with just four: Palkia, Charizard, Salamance, and Luxray. So I can generally evolve two Pokemans per Elite Four battle, assuming they don't have a really high evolution level.
*looks up Rhyhorn*
Wow, Lv. 42 is when he evolves? Screw that noise. I'll have to take him through TWICE.

I think you mean Wurmple Halbred. Anyway its evolution is odd. You have to have a personality factor of 4 for Silicoon and 5 for Cascoon. I just catch Silicoon and Cascoon to avoid that mess. There isn't really any worth while moves you can learn as Wurmple.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, Maxi. I was wondering when we'd get that download. I'll finally be able to snag a Duskull (and Dusklops and Dusknoir) and Bronzor (and Bronzong).
Ha! Magikarp has Bounce. That's hilarious.
Oh! I forgot to tell ya'll. I found a Shining Ponyta a few nights ago just outside Mt. Silver. First Shining Pokemon (aside from Red Gyarados) I've seen. I caught him with a Quick Ball.

I'll d/l the new route, but I really wish my pokewalker still worked. I need to go get a new battery to check if that is why it stopped working before I buy another. :P
Halbred, I'll get a couple other trade-evolution pokemon as well so we can trade all of them to each other.

Post by: Halbred on May 06, 2010, 01:02:37 PM
Sweet. Let's shoot for a weekend trade. I should have a Rhydon by then. Seadra, too. This may require more than one round of trading. :-)
UPDATE: Hell yeah! Last night, I spent a bit of time catching all the available Hoenn Pokemon using the "Hoenn Sounds" radio station, and at lunch today, I caught all the available Shinnoh Pokemon using the "Shinnoh Sounds" radio station!
I'm getting a lot closer to a complete Pokedex than I ever thought I'd go for.
QUESTION: What's the quickest way to make your Pokemon happy enough to evolve with a level-up? I have a lot Pokemon that evolve via happiness, but I haven't bothered doing it yet because I remember it being a fracking pain.

Feed them a bunch of vitamins, that usually helps.

Don't forget to take them to the Goldenrod Tunnel to get them haircuts, today is the older brother (who charges 500 and does a better job).
I just got to Goldenrod City. I feel like killing Youngster Joey, he's called me 5 times today to tell me about his freaking Rattata.

Post by: BeautifulShy on May 06, 2010, 08:38:09 PM
There is a few ways Halbred.Do like Nickmitch said and give them vitamins. That can get expensive though. Have the pokemon hold a soothe ball.That makes the pokemon happier. Give the pokemon haircuts and massages. Go to Goldenrod City for the haircuts and go underground where the 2 bros give haircuts. For the massages you go to Pallet Town and you go to Garys house and his sister will give your pokemon a massage.To check how happy your pokemon is head to Goldenrod City and head to the house above the bike shop and put your pokemon in the first spot on your team and talk to the lady.

You could just trade if you wanted.
Are Sinnoh and Hoenn Pokemon only available using those special radio stations? I am up to Ecruteak City and have only encountered Johto/Kanto Pokemon. With FireRed/LeafGreen they added in Johto and Hoenn Pokemon to catch in the wild. I also forgot how hard it is to get fire Pokemon (I just got my first one, Vulpix). I think soon I will go to NeoGAF or GameFAQs to try and get the legendaries.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 07, 2010, 07:14:27 PM
You need to get the National Dex to have more ways to get Hoenn and Shinnoh pokemon. Those ways include Bug catching contest, Headbutting trees, and finally the Safari Zone.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 07, 2010, 07:39:54 PM
You need the National 'Dex to get the radio expansion card. Then, on Wednesdays, you can catch certain Hoenn Pokemon in certain areas. On Thursdays, you can catch certain Shinnoh Pokemon in certain areas.
CAVEAT! The music must be playing while you're walking around for those Pokemon to be found. It's a pain, because every time you get out of a fight, you have to go back and start the music again.
UPDATE! The only other "evolve through trading" Pokemon I need to raise is Duskull, who I just picked up on the Pokewalker. And he's already holding a Reaper Cloth! I'll have to drag him through the Elite Four, too, but then I'll have ALL of those kinds of pocket monsters ready for trading. Exciting!

Post by: Halbred on May 08, 2010, 03:44:07 PM
Do you have SoulSilver? If so, I'd like to request a Herracross. They're not in HeartGold. I can give you an exclusive in exchange, like an Arcanine, from which you can breed a Growlithe.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 08, 2010, 03:46:24 PM
I do have SoulSilver, I have not caught a Heracross yet though. When I do I will let you know (if you still need one).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 09, 2010, 09:18:03 PM
I just caught a Heracross and am breeding it. I won't hatch the egg since I assume you will want to be the OT. I should be available anytime after 4PM tomorrow.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 10, 2010, 01:14:51 PM
Bah. I care not who the original trainer is. Thanks, dude! I'll grab you a HeartGold exclusive. I am also available today, after 6 p.m. my time (that's when I get home from work).
That's in...uh...nine hours. When I get home, I'll post in this thread, then head into the Wi-Fi room.
Roughly a half-hour 'til go-time, sir. I'll just hop into the room when I get home with a few exclusives. Just highlight the one you want.

Post by: TJ Spyke on May 11, 2010, 06:01:00 PM
Sorry, I was kind of tired and zonked out. If you want to try again today, I am available anytime.
Anyways, I just got finished beating the Kimono Girls (they were a lot tougher than in the originals, especially since you have to fight all five in a row this time). Apparently I HAVE to go fight Lugia before I can head to the Pokemon League, the fight was optional in GSC. I was planning on capturing Lugia after I beat the Elite 4.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 11, 2010, 06:22:04 PM
Yup, it'll be at Lv. 40, probably on top of the Burned Tower (that's where Ho-Oh was in my game). The Kimono Girls were a pain, but it was cool to see all the Eevee evolutions aside from Glacion and Leafeon.
I'll be recording a podcast tonight that will involve a lot of thumb-twiddling, Spyke, so I'd be happy to try again tonight, again, after 6 p.m. Zachlaska time. Just like last night, I'll hop into the trading room when I get home from work with a host of HeartGold exclusives.
Hmmmm...actually, if you have a spare Skarmory, I'd like that guy too! He's not in HeartGold either. I also have one more Pokemon to evolve through trading, if that's cool (Huntail).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 11, 2010, 06:42:46 PM
I assume you live in Alaska? According to my world clock it is about 2:37 in Anchorage, so 6PM for you would b about 11PM for me.
I do have a Skarmory, I will breed one for you (or catch an extra one, whichever happens first).
Lugia is in the Whirl Islands, Burned Tower is just Ho-Oh. Since I have SoulSilver I get Lugia at 40 and Ho-Oh at 70 (and vice-versa for you and other HeartGold owners, you get Ho-Oh at 40 and Lugia at 70).
Yeah, I have no problem helping you evolve Pokemon. I think I have a Machoke, so I might as well evolve it (I have no interest in battling with it and thus don't care about its stats or moves).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 11, 2010, 06:52:49 PM
Yeeeeah...the Machop line kind of blows, which is wierd, because Machamp is pretty baddass visually.
I hope 11 p.m.'s not too horribly late. Thanks for the Skarmory! I'll see you in like three hours.

Nah, I normally go to sleep around 12:30 anyways.
Your Skarmory egg is also ready, so everything will be ready when you want to do it later. I have the 2 eggs (Heracross and Skarmory) to give you, plus I would like to evolve my Machoke. Is there anything else I should have ready?

Are you capturing wild Magnemite or just searching them for items? Unfortunately you only get 1 Metal Coat guaranteed, otherwise you have to get it from wild Magnemite or trade for it. It wouldn't be so bad if 2 different Pokemon need it to evolve (Onix and Scyther)/

Stratos, I think you mean Battle Tower. The Battle Dome is part of the Hoenn region's Battle Frontier (RSE).
I am glad they let you fly to the beginning of Victory Road, this lets you easily get the Grn Apricorn and battle re-matches without having to go the long way through Tohjo Falls or back through Victory Road. I am at Indigo Plateau, but I am grinding now since my Pokemon are only 41-43.

Post by: TJ Spyke on May 15, 2010, 11:58:02 AM
If I have to I will try GameFAQs, but do either of you (or anyone else reading this) have Glaceon, Leafeon, Magnezone, or Probopass? It is impossible to get them in HG or SS without trading from D/P/P (because they only evolve in locations within Sinnoh. For example, Magneton will only evolve into Magnezone if it levels up in Mt. Coronet, and Eevee will only evolve into Leafeon if it levels up while in Eterna Forrest).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on May 15, 2010, 12:38:29 PM
I'll bet there are areas in this game that will allow them to evolve as well.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 15, 2010, 01:13:28 PM
I have checked the official game guides, there aren't. You have to trade them over from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 15, 2010, 03:43:51 PM
I really should have trained a fire Pokemon, the Elite Four is a lot harder without one (in GSC I was able to beat the Elite Four with a group of Pokemon in their low 40s). It helped that in Crystal I used my Master Ball on Entei, this time I used it on Raikou. I think my highest fire Pokemon is a Vulpix in its 20s.

That's going to make it tricky for me. I was training a Magnemite in hopes of it becoming a Magnezone.
Keep training it. When it is a magneton at a level you are happy with, trade it to someone with D/P. To make things easier on the other person you can have it's xp meter nearly full or give it a rare candy to hold. Then trade it back. That's how I got mine.

Post by: Halbred on May 18, 2010, 03:21:53 PM
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:
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/468.shtml
That's not a level. It's a dash. And it doesn't learn those moves upon evolving. I've tried it.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 18, 2010, 03:40:00 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on May 19, 2010, 09:53:39 AM
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.

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!)
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 19, 2010, 06:26:07 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 19, 2010, 10:35:39 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 20, 2010, 12:07:25 PM
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).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 20, 2010, 12:58:16 PM
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Post by: Halbred on May 21, 2010, 03:20:44 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 21, 2010, 11:54:48 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 22, 2010, 09:47:42 PM
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.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 22, 2010, 09:53:14 PM
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).

Post by: TJ Spyke on May 22, 2010, 10:33:43 PM
Of coarse. I have a Seel and Grimer, so I will soon evolve those two. I will let you know when I get Groudon (at which point you could then let me borrow Kyogre to also get Rayquaza).
I also think that happiness based evolutions are a pain in the butt; i've been working for hours to get Budew to evolve into Roselia, and then I have to do it again with Chingling to get it to evolve into Chimeco and then twice for Eevee into Espeon/Umbreon. I am just glad that the majority of happiness evolutions are just baby Pokemon into the normal forms.

Post by: TJ Spyke on May 23, 2010, 12:01:07 PM
Hal, do you still have your copy of Pokemon Platinum? If so, if you only have 1 DS then we could help each other out.I just evolved my Magnemite into Magneton. I was wondering if you would be willing to let me trade it to your Platinum, you evolve level it up at Mt. Coronet so it evolves into Magnezone, then you trade it back to me (and I could trade it to your HeartGold so you get credit too).
I also have a Dewgong now to gt you credit for.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on May 23, 2010, 11:47:48 PM
Sure, I could help you out there. It'll have to be when I get back from my "family" vacation next Sunday, though. I leave tomorrow, after work.

I finally got a trade done on the GTS and got a Cyndaquil. It was from someone in California though, I was hoping for someone outside of the US so I could unlock the Beyond the Seas Pokewalker route (you unlock the route by doing a international trade on the GTS). It's though though since you have idiots wanting stuff like a level 100 Regigigas for a Spearow.

Post by: Halbred on May 31, 2010, 02:56:58 PM
I HAVE RETURNED.
I've improved my Pokedex. Now I have all the fossil evolutions, Victreebell, and Sealeo. I will be busy today until this evening, at which point I'll be able to trade again.

Post by: TJ Spyke on May 31, 2010, 06:20:11 PM
I've improved mine quite a bit too, I now have all 3 legendary birds and have been spending a lot of time leveling up ones that evolve that way. I freaking hate happiness evolutions because they are annoying.

My togechic evolved after one level. I was most surprised.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 01, 2010, 05:12:06 PM
"Togechic"? Leveling up is not the only way to make them happier. Leveling up adds 2 points, walking 256 steps adds 1 point, giving them haircuts/massages adds points, giving them vitamins adds points, etc. Doing this while having them hold a Soothe Bell speeds it up since it doubles how many points they get (as does any Pokemon caught with a Luxury Ball).
I just caught my first real shiny in the game (meaning not counting the Gyarados in Lake of Rage), it was a shiny Rapidash.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on June 01, 2010, 05:56:53 PM
Nice. I've yet to find a single non-event shiny in any pokemon game.
Good to know walking helps with happiness. I need to fix my walker so I can use it for that purpose.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 01, 2010, 06:10:32 PM
I don't think that helps, I think it only applies to walking with them in your party (but I am not 100% sure as the guide I looked at didn't mention the Pokewalker).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on June 01, 2010, 08:03:02 PM
I see, I assumed you meant the walker when you mentioned steps. Would be handy if it did work. Dump those happiness evolution pokemon on the walker for a week and transfer them back and it's an easy evolution from that point.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 02, 2010, 04:39:10 PM
Spyke, from personal experience, I can say that the Pokewalker increases happiness.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 02, 2010, 04:50:16 PM
That sure would have sped things up for me. The only Pokemon I still would need to evolve with happiness is Rioulu (which I don't have one yet) into Lucario.

What Pokemon do you still need?
I am willing to do temp trading, although I have to admit that I would prefer permanent trades when possible. If you would be willing, I could post the ones I still need.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 04, 2010, 12:23:31 PM
Sure. I'll update my list too.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 04, 2010, 02:10:02 PM
OK, I excluded Pokemon I don't have but can get by evolving (for example, I have Larvitar and can evolve that to get Pupitar and Tyranitar), my friend said he will get me some of the starters (but I don't know which ones). Obviously I don't expect to get any of the legendaries since they can't be bred (with the exception of Phione) and I included legendaries I have credit for but hope to eventually get one of my own:
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 04, 2010, 02:27:52 PM
Hell, I can get you a lot of those guys. For keepsies. When I get home from the office, I'll post my list, too.
BY THE WAY
Is it just me, or is the prize for winning the Bug Catching Contest almost always a Dusk Stone or Thunderstone? I've gotten like three of each, and one Leaf Stone. All I want is a Fire Stone, Water Stone, or Moon Stone!
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 04, 2010, 02:57:04 PM
Since getting the National Dex I have one the contest 3 times; I got 1 Dusk Stone, 1 Thunderstone, and 1 Moon Stone. The Moon Stone is a waste to me since you can get one for free every Monday night.
Are you as annoyed by the changes to the Game Corner as I am? Thanks to anti-gambling laws in Europe, the English versions of the game have that stupid Voltorb game now. I don't mind the game itself, but you can't just buy coins now (which is what I did so I could get Porygon, winning 9999 coins is beyond my patience. I may have to do it, although it will probably take over a week).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 04, 2010, 03:09:57 PM
Is that why it's different? That sucks. I actually hate the Voltorb game, since every game comes down to at least one chance flip, and I ALWAYS get the Voltorb.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 04, 2010, 03:31:22 PM
Yeah, it actually started with Pokemon Platinum. The PAL version of the game had the Voltorb game instead of slot machines, I guess Nintendo didn't want to make different versions for North America and PAL regions. The Japanese version still has the Voltorb game. What I usually do is only pick the rows/columns with no Voltorbs, then I quit and take whatever coins I got. I usually get 3-9 coins each time I play this way, hence why I will hate winning 9,999 coins (I won't waster time trying to win enough coins for TM's, but this is the only way to get Porygon).
If you don't mind, I would like to evolve my Slowpoke into Slowking (which, as you probably know, happens by being traded while holding a King's Rock).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 04, 2010, 10:26:52 PM
UPDATED LIST of Pokemon I still need.
Nidoqueen (or a Moon Stone) Nintetails (or a Fire Stone) Dewgong Muk Natu/Xatu Entei Celebi Ludicolo (or a Water Stone) Nosepass/Probopass Torcoal Seviper Feebas/Milotic Regirock/Regice/Registeel Latias/Latios SoulSilver's Groudon so I can get Rayquaza Deoxys Pachirisu Glameow/Purugly Finneon/Lumineon Snover/Abomasnow Magnezone Glaceon Dialga
Giggity!
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 04, 2010, 10:38:55 PM
Regarding Dewgong and Muk, do you specifically want those ones and not their pre-evolved forms? Either way I could have them ready by tomorrow night (as I only have one of each and would need to breed them), plus I can get Natu and Snover.
As for Groudon, once I get it I will be happy to let you borrow it to get Rayquaza (my Pokemon are almost strong enough to take on Red).

Let me check if I brought my Torcoal over to Platinum from Emerald. If so I'll trade that to you.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 05, 2010, 02:25:20 AM
Not their pre-evolutions, no. Natu and Snover would be kick-ass.
And Stratos, I'd really appreciate that. Torcoal is tough to find.

Even if it is still trapped on my GBA game, I can just borrow my sister's DS Lite to make the transfer to one of the DS games. I'll probably see her tomorrow evening so I'll post back then.

Whenever you want to do the trades (tonight, tomorrow, whenever), I have Snover/Natu/Muk/Dewgong ready. The first two are hatched from eggs and thus are level 1 (the Snover has Blizzard, a move it normally learns at level 41), the Muk I caught in Celadon City is at level 15 (Grimer normally doesn't evolve until level 38).
I have a Magmar that I would also like to evolve if you don't mind.

My main team are all 72 or 73: Meganium, Gyarados, Raichu, Nidoqueen, Noctowl, Golem.
I know it's not the best team (I should probably add a fire type, maybe a dedicated psychic) and I know my Pokemon are still a little too low since Red's team are all 75 and up. After I beat Red I will start raising some other Pokemon to be on my team since I haven't change my lineup since I caught Gyarados and had it replace Quagsire, Nidoqueen is basically my HM slave.

I've been spending a lot of time in the Pokeathlon Dome (get evolutionary stones), and I hate the Pennant Capture game. I am trying to get 35 flags (which is needed to break the first record), this is the last record I need to get access to the Friendship Room. Breaking the records on all 10 events also adds another star to your Trainer Card. The closest i've gotten is 33 flags (even using Pokemon that have 5 stars in speed and skill).

I just caught Groudon, it was surprisingly easy (it still had about 20% health and only took 1 Heavy Ball). The next time we do trading Hal you can borrow it to get Rayquaza, then you can let me borrow your Kyogre so I can get Rayquaza.

Awesome, Spyke. Hell, we can trade tonight when I get off work if you want. It can seriously be something as simple as: You give me Groudon. I leave the room and Fly to Oak's house and get the orb, then hop back in the room and give you Kyogre, you do the same, we trade back, BAM. Done. Five minutes. I leave work in like two hours, and I'll be home a little after that. My office is ten minutes from my house.

Sounds good, mind if I also evolve my Poliwhirl into Politoed while we are at it?
I guess now I should try catching Entei and Latios (I wonder when Nintendo will give us non-Japanese players the Enigma Stone?). I have Entei down to about 25% health through various random encounters, now I will use my Mismagious and its Mean Look.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 14, 2010, 07:35:45 PM
Yeah, I totally forgot Mean Look. My Mismagius has that, too. I should catch Latias that way.
I'm not sure how it happened--I think after I got the Ruby/Sapphire starter--Latias started flying around the Kanto area. I haven't bothered trying to catch it, I really should.
I'll hop in the trade room when I get home, Spyke. T-minus thirty minutes.
Meh, you're not here. I've gotta water the lawn. I'll try again when I get back in, in about a half hour.

Post by: TJ Spyke on June 26, 2010, 10:55:38 PM
I finally caught Entei, now the only legendary in the HG/SS games (meaning ones you can catch in the games) I don't have is Latios. I still need to find a way to get the others though (Latias, Darkrai, etc.).
Also, it was confirmed today that in North America all five Generation IV games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver) will be able to get Jirachi over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from June 26 through July 16. It will be in a Cherish Ball and at level 5; it will know Wish, Confusion, Rest, and Draco Meteor. The original trainer will be SMR2010 with the ID number 06260. It will also unlock the Pokewalker Route Night Sky's Edge.

So this is like a second giveaway? Cool. I already got mine, but hey, I might get another one for kicks 'n' trades.
Want to hear something funny? I caught Rayquaza on my first Heavy Ball without even giving it a status condition and it's HP had only just hit red. BAM. LUCK.

I think they wanted to make it possible for people only have HG or SS to get Jirachi (the last time was they gave Jirachi out was before the current games came out). I forgot to mention that the Jirachi also comes with a Liechi Berry and a Classic Ribbon.
According to Bulbapedia, Pokemon with the Classic Ribbon can not be traded on the GTS.
Congrats on easily getting Rayquaza.
On a side note, I just picked up Platinum today (for various reasons), and I plan to pick a up a used phat DS soon.

Post by: Pale on June 28, 2010, 01:01:47 PM
I'm gonna be getting back into these games late this week... so I'll be up for some battles and trades. :) When I stopped playing I had relatively just finished the first set of badges.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 28, 2010, 07:02:45 PM
Spyke, before you do that, let's trade for that Entei.
I'm surprisingly close to a completed 'Dex, but instead of bothering you, I may have to start looking on the GTS more often...just not in Japan.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 28, 2010, 07:07:06 PM
I don't mind helping. The GTS is annoying (why would I give a Cresselia to someone to get a damn Starly?), and it doesn't help that the GTS doesn't let you look for Pokemon you haven't seen.
I got a used DS Lite today, I wanted a phat but they didn't have a working one (only the broken display copy).
When do you want to do the trade?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on June 28, 2010, 07:10:40 PM
What do you have left Halbred?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on June 28, 2010, 07:37:40 PM
Spyke, anytime after work would be fine. So...in a little more than an hour and a half.
Maxi, I'll figure that out double-quick, maybe while the trade is going on.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on June 28, 2010, 10:47:43 PM
I will go online now, probably be in there for about 13 minutes or so.
Maybe tomorrow, night.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 01, 2010, 02:44:58 PM
Let me know if you want to try again. If you need credit for Porygon2 or Porygon-Z, I would be willing to do a temp trade (otherwise I will just trade with my Platinum game).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 01, 2010, 04:28:08 PM
I've got all the Porygons. Thanks, though!
I could actually try again in like 45 minutes, at lunch, or after work.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 01, 2010, 06:50:21 PM
Sure, whatever time today you want. Just post a reply when you are ready and I will check back every 20 minutes or so.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 01, 2010, 07:34:55 PM
I'll be ready in two hours, at 5:30 Zachlaska time, if not a little before. I've got nothin' after work today. I'll just hop into the trade room when I get home. Do you want anybody specific in exchange for Entei, even though it's just a 'Dex trade?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 01, 2010, 07:41:35 PM
I would like to get Pokedex entries for Darkrai, Arceus, or Shaymin if you have any of those (so I can look for them on the GTS); otherwise, it doesn't matter.
Maybe over the weekend we can do permanent trades.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 01, 2010, 08:08:50 PM
I don't. Wish I did, though.
I'm here, Spyke, in the room with an open trade request. Let's do this!
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 01, 2010, 09:31:22 PM
Be right there.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 04, 2010, 06:23:39 PM
If anybody wants to trade (not just today, anytime), these are the Pokemon I still need (to keep, not just Pokedex entries):
I would be happy to try and get any other Pokemon in return.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 04, 2010, 09:36:37 PM
Sorry I'm being slow in getting the Torkoal, but I keep forgetting to bring my DS or forget to bring the DS AND the games to trade it up with my sisters system. The one time I do show up at home with it all I find out they went on a spontaneous family trip. Soon I will have it.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 04, 2010, 11:23:45 PM
Get on it, Stratos. Spyke, I've got a lot of those Pokemon, and you can probably have most of them. Now, here's MY list:
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 04, 2010, 11:35:08 PM
Hal, do you have more than 1 DS? If so, you could actually take care of some yourself. Otherwise, I could get you Probopass, Magnezone (would you want me to send you one or would you want to trade a Magneton and have it evolve to Magnezone and be traded back?), and Pachirisu. I am not up to Route 217 in Platinum yet (which is the only place to get Eevee to evolve to Glaceon), I just got to Hearthome City. With Probopass you could just breed it to get the Nosepass.
I won't be able to get them all tonight since it is almost midnight for me and I am getting up early tomorrow, but tomorrow night I might have them.
I wish I had Platinum last year, when Nintendo gave away all those promo legendaries. Speaking of which, I will probably get Uxie/Mesprit/Azelf/Dialga/Palkia/Heatran/Giratina/Cresselia in my Platinum game and be able to trade those over.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 05, 2010, 12:32:20 AM
I don't have more than 1 DS. I used to have my friends', but he took it back after a few weeks. I could give you my Magneton if you'd be willing to evolve it for me. If you traded me a Probopass, I could breed it for the Nosepass and then give it back. And I will need a Pachirisu.
So, we could do it this way:
You give me Probopass, and I give you Magneton. You go off and evolve him, and I run off and breed the Probopass. We trade both back. You give me Pachirisu and I give you an Eevee. You evolve the Eevee into Glaceon. You trade me the Glaceon, and I give you one of the Pokemon on your list (like Torchic). Then, as extra thanks, I can give you a bunch of Pokemon you need in exchange for whatever crappy Pokemon you have just lying around.
Tomorrow should be great. One quick thing, though: I'm leaving my house for a BBQ at 4 p.m., then going to a movie at like 7:15, so I might not be home until later. An earlier-in-the-day trade would be best, I'm betting, unless you plan on staying up late. Whatever works for you, seriously. I'm the one begging for Pokemon! :-D
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on July 05, 2010, 10:58:12 AM
So, has Celebi ever been legitimately obtainable in the states? I still don't have that freaking legendary.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 05, 2010, 03:40:52 PM
Hal, all except Glaceon will be fine (I am nowhere near that far in my Platinum game yet), maybe by the weekend I will be that far. I can do the Glaceon later this week. I should be up tonight.
Pale, I just checked Bulbapedia. Nintendo Power had a contest for the Gen II games (251 Celebi given away), but I don't count that, especially since there is no way to get that one to the Gen III or IV games. Other than that, the only time Celebi was given out in the US was as part of Nintendo's 10th Anniversary Tour across America and Europe in 2006 (which never came anywhere near where I lived), you could get Celebi added to any of the Gen III games. Some of the other legedaries given out on this tour were Latios, Latias, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou.
The only way I even got one in my Diamond game (which is long gone) was because the person who gave it to me had one in his Emerald game and used the cloning trick to get one for anybody who wanted it or any of the other Gen III legendaries.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 05, 2010, 07:20:34 PM
I'll post here when I get home, Spyke. I'll give you my Eevee egg (haven't had time to hatch it today).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 05, 2010, 07:59:10 PM
I hope we get the event Celebi over Wi-Fi soon. Not only does it let you do a side-battle against Giovanni (which does give you more story info), but you will need to trade it over to Black/White to get Zorua and Zoroark (and the current info states that this will be the ONLY way to get those two Pokemon)
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 05, 2010, 10:59:53 PM
I'm here, Spyke. I'll go into the room and start a trade invitation.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 05, 2010, 11:24:46 PM
Coming now, what exactly do you want to do tonight? The Magneton/Probopass thing? Pachirisu? I will give you a Pachirisu egg if you want it since I already have one (a friend wanted one, then changed his mind).
Actually, give me about 5 minutes.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 06, 2010, 12:00:47 AM
So do you want me to hold onto the Eevee egg until I get to Route 217 and can evolve it? It might be a few days before I get there.
I will be back in a few minutes with your Magnezone.
We will need to finish this tomorrow. Your Magnezone is ready though.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 06, 2010, 02:47:34 AM
Sorry. Didn't realize you were right there. You can keep the Eevee as long as it takes to evolve it. Thanks for the trades! I bred a Nosepass, so I'll give him back tomorrow for the Magnezone!
Okay, I got a Seviper through the GTS last night (all it took was a baby Spinda!), so I can give you him for the 'Dex entry, Spyke. I'll try to get a Torkoal through the GTS, too.
Do you want to trade the Magnezone/Probopass tonight?
It's so annoying that you can't search for Pokemon you haven't seen on GTS...
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 06, 2010, 11:31:10 PM
OK, with my sis and trading now. We'll see if we can gather some of your requests.
~ ...and my battery is close to dying...lol
~ Ok, got lumeon, pachirisu and hippotomas. Also have Emerald Kyoger and Groudon for temp trade.
Got a glameow or chimchar to trade?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 12:11:56 AM
Got a Chimchar for your Luminion.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 12:23:53 AM
Ok. Can't trade right now because I can't connect DS to the internet here but either tonight or tomorrow I can do it back at my place.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 12:26:17 AM
Tomorrow's fine!
Either of you cats (Stratos or Spyke) up for trading tonight after work?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 06:46:36 PM
I am. Sorry I wasn't on last night, I was so tired and hot.
Stratos, have you thought about using the Emerald cloning glitch to clone your legendaries or other Pokemon/items?
And yeah, it does suck that you can't look for Pokemon on the GTS if you haven't seen them.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 07:07:39 PM
Cool. I'll be home in a little more than two hours. I'll hop on here if the computer's on to post. Either way, I'll jump into the trade room in the game. Got a Seviper and a Torkoal for your 'Dex.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 07:16:44 PM
What do you want to do, temp or perm? Also, I will have your Magnezone ready to trade back to you as well.
Actually, temp would be fine. I could quickly bring them to the Daycare Center (I would only need to get the egg, I could hatch it later).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 07:24:35 PM
Oh, and I'll have your Probopass. We'll certainly trade the Magnezone for the Probopass. Let's do perm trades when you've got the Glaceon. You can fill up your slots with it and five Pokemon you don't want or need, and I'll fill my six slots with Pokemon you DO need to keep.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 07:25:53 PM
Sounds good, I hope to be ready for that by Saturday (I am actually battling in the Veilstone Gym as I type this).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 09:29:13 PM
I'm here, Spyke, ready to give back your Probopass.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 09:43:41 PM
Always happy to help. I hope Nintendo doesn't do this again. It's a neat idea to have location based evolutions, but then it limits what games you can get them in (they may not care though since they have not had Celebi legit available since 2006, so they may not care about more common Pokemon).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 10:00:32 PM
I gotta look up my codes to trade with you. What are yours?

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 10:06:06 PM
SoulSilver: 2536 6601 9475 (my characters name is Tim).
I also have Platinum, but I don't know if you would want that too.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 10:10:57 PM
Only if you want to trade with that one.
I have no idea how to get the number. I went online with the game and it registered it to my DSi (since it was synced before to my Lite) but it wont give me a number.
AH! Found it: 5457 3682 6895 This is my Platinum code.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 10:13:01 PM
Nah, not really. I mainly just use it to help out my SoulSilver game (getting Pokemon, trading, etc.).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 07, 2010, 11:01:29 PM
Here's my number, Stratos:
2579-5303-6061
Are you online? I'll get on right now.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 11:23:04 PM
I'll go grab it. I currently have my HG and Plt plus my sisters SS and Di so I can get us all mystery gift Jirachi. Though I am wondering, isn't there a new pokewalker route available too? How do I get that as it only lets me get the Jirachi.
My dad refuses to lower the firewall level so DS' can connect so the only way my sister can get the gifts is to come to my place or loan me her games.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 11:25:30 PM
What were we trading?
Luminion?
I think I'm on, am I not on? Are you on? I've never dona a trade online before.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 07, 2010, 11:54:04 PM
When you get the event Jirachi you also unlock the route Night Sky's Edge (although it doesn't actually tell you this, it just shows up on the list of routes). I already have the Jirachi on both my SS and Pl games.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 07, 2010, 11:56:50 PM
OK, thanks. That's a relief. I thought I did something wrong. What do the cards do? Can I use old cards to send the Wi-Fi gifts to my sister?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 08, 2010, 12:01:10 AM
The cards basically just stay there until you get new ones and have no use once you get the Pokemon. Unfortunately, you can use it to give your sister the gift. To get Jirachi, her game (either you doing it or her doing it) has to get it through Mystery Gift from Nintendo too. Just remember that the event ends on July 16.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 08, 2010, 11:24:24 AM
Typo, I meant to say you can't do that. The only way to get the Jirachi is through the Wi-Fi Mystery Gift.

I've been in the midst of my work week and I work evenings/nights. I'll be available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights if you are available then.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 12, 2010, 11:24:54 AM
I've caught a few new Pokemon in Platinum and traded them over, so my list of needed Pokemon is a little shorter (I will post the updated list later). In my Platinum game, I am up to Iron Island and about to do that with Riley. I forgot how much grinding D/P/Pl required, especially compared to HG/SS.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 14, 2010, 08:41:19 PM
I don't know if I have anything you need, plus I need to write a speech about another student for my oral communications class tomorrow (it only needs to be a minute long, but I hate public speaking).
I am almost to the place where Eevee can evolve to Glaceon, I am in Mt. Coronet and getting ready to go on that snow path. Tomorrow night I should be there and evolve it, I would have been there tonight but I wasted time trying unsuccessfully to find Feebas (4 squares out of 500+ results in a 1/128 chance of finding it, not to mention that you can still fish up other Pokemon in those spots and that the spots change every day makes this one annoying Pokemon to catch).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

Not tonight. But I can tomorrow. What time works for you?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 15, 2010, 01:58:10 PM
Anytime after 5:15, Zachlaska time. Here's what I've been doing with Sypke: I just get home and hop into the trade room. He knows that I'm gonna be in there when I get home from work, so he gets on, we do our trade(s), and quit, and there you go.
Chimchar for Luminion, right?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way

I just evolved your Eevee into Glaceon, we can do the trades tomorrow if you want. This is my updated list of Pokemon I need, let me know what you need/want (and the details of the trade like how many Pokemon and whether they are temp or perm):

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Caterkiller on July 26, 2010, 02:04:53 AM
I traded so many pokemon at Comicon! Just random trades for me, a few bigger trades for everyone else. I just love having all kinds of ID numbers and knowing that these pokemon came from people I will most likely never see again! Plus they can be passed down generation after generation!
I can't wait to see my Pokemon from Sapphire all the way back from 2003 making into the Nintendo 6DS, in 2020. Pokemon is one game where I feel like, I can raise a strong character, and he won't be obsolete or technically unusable in 10 years on the current hardware. What other games can claim that?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 27, 2010, 01:34:21 PM
Hal, do you want to try trading again tonight? Hopefully it will not have problems like before. I have caught and transferred over a couple of common Pokemon from my Platinum game though, so I no longer need these ones:
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 27, 2010, 02:37:52 PM
Oooooh, you have Finneon/Luminion and Feebas/Milotic now? Mind if I quickly breed those? And then the Glaceon, of course.
Yes, let's try again tonight, after work. 5:30 Zachlaska time.

Yeah, I caught a Finneon in Platinum and traded it over, and I got a Milotic over the GTS from somebody in Greece. I actually need to breed it so I can get credit for Feebas. I have no problem letting you borrow them to breed.

Just thought I would mention that starting July 31st and going till August 27th there will be a Wi-Fi event. Just download the item from mystery gift and then head to Pewter city and talk to the guy that revives fossils and you will get Soul Dew.A level 40 Latias or Latios will show up depending on which version you have.Soul Silver will get you Latias while Latios will come if you have Heart Gold.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 27, 2010, 08:36:49 PM
I've been waiting for them to bring the Soul Dew Wi-Fi event here, glad for it. For those curious, the item is called the Enigma Stone. I guess that next will be the Mew event or maybe the Celebi one. I really hope it will be the Celebi one since the last time it was available through legit means was during the 2006 10th Anniversary Tour, plus the Celebi allows you to do a time travel event that lets you battle Giovanni and find out more about your rival (plus it comes with the Rowap Berry, a rare berry that is only available as an attach item on certain event pokemon).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: BeautifulShy on July 27, 2010, 08:41:59 PM
I actually have never had a Celebi before. There was like 251 given away in NP back when Silver and Gold came out many years ago. The 10th anniversary one I couldn't get out to.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 27, 2010, 09:19:15 PM
And those were the only two times that Celebi has ever been available in North America. I couldn't go to the 10th Anniversary Tour either because the closest stop was in New York City and NYC is six hours away.

Sheesh, what the eff is going on with WFC? Start a trade request. I'm going to reset the system and come back in. Unfortunately, I may have to keep your Pokemon overnight 'cause we're leaving to go to dinner in like ten minutes.

Post by: TJ Spyke on July 27, 2010, 10:01:04 PM
Ugh, I don't know what the problem is. I will see if it's on my end, my broadband company just upgraded to 4G and sent me a new router, maybe that is it (although it hasn't affected my laptop or PS3 from getting online, or me using the GTS). Did you change something with your firewall or something? It's letting us see each other in the room, but I get the 86420 error when we try to trade.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 27, 2010, 10:02:24 PM
I've changed nothing since we successfully traded last. A quick search online has shown that a lot of people are having the same problems we are, and that it's generally blamed on Nintendo's servers being wonky.
EDIT: I got kicked off again. Goddamnit. We'll have to get a 3rd party involved, maybe Stratos. He might be willing to act as a middleman.
Stratos? You want to help some brothers out?
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 27, 2010, 10:04:30 PM
I am glad it's not one of us, it sucks that we can't do any trades though. I doubt we will get it done tonight then.

Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 28, 2010, 01:48:45 AM
I mean, like, tomorrow.
Basically, Spyke would trade with you, then you'd trade with me, and you'd trade back to Spyke.

I'm working the next two nights. But I have Friday and Saturday off.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on July 28, 2010, 09:58:35 AM
I know this is somewhat of an esoteric request, but does anyone have a non-cloned Dialga they would be willing to trade?
I'd like some assurance that it is a "legit" pokemon, as dumb as that sounds.
The only legendaries I need to get on my own technically, are Celebi and Dialga. I'd like to use the Arceus event for Dialga, but I'm thinking I'd rather get that new form Giratina because I only have the other form.
Freaking legendaries.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2010, 11:27:08 AM
That's why I haven't traded my Giratina from Platinum to SoulSilver. You can't trade the Griseous Orb (which is needed to get its Origin Forme), and the only way to get the orb in HG/SS is through the Arceus event. I didn't have Platinum last year when they gave it out over Wi-Fi, so I hope they do it again. Same with Regigigas, if I had the special event Regigigas I could then use that to get the 3 Regis. I can understand wanting a legit legendary (although I would point out that cloned ones are legit), when I had Diamond I got a legedary that was hacked; I knew it was hacked because it's catch location was listed as someplace you couldn't catch it (I forget which one).
Hal and Stratos, both Friday and Saturday are good for me.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Stratos on July 28, 2010, 11:28:58 AM
My sister has an event Regi. I could convince her to loan it to unlock the others. I don't know if she has the event Giratina.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on July 28, 2010, 11:35:28 AM
The event Giratina is pretty much the same as the regular one in this case since the orb can not be traded, the only one to get the Origin Forme in HG/SS is doing it yourself with the event. I would love it if you can convince her to let me temp borrow it. Once I get the three Regis, I can then take those three and catch the Regigigas in the game (these are in Platinum).
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on July 28, 2010, 11:42:26 AM
I also have multiple Regigas... one of them is the event... the other is from having the 3 regis in pearl. I'd consider perma-trading my event one for something really cool. :)
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Halbred on July 28, 2010, 01:11:33 PM
Pale, can we do a temporary trade for the 3 "normal" Regis? I just want their 'Dex entries, so we'd basically trade, then trade back.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: Pale on July 28, 2010, 02:11:49 PM
Yeah sure. Maybe tomorrow evening? You have to trade me something for reals though too. Cause I'm weird like that. I have a Pikachu with Surf if you want it. Got anything fun in exchange?

I am not sure what you would consider cool. I won't perma-trade any of my legendaries since I only have one of each. I guess I have shiny Rapidash, if there is something specific you want I could see if I have it.

Uh...off the top of my head, a Magikarp with Bounce, a Flying Pikachu, and a Shining Ponyta.
I guess I could use the Surfing Pikachu, but I've got a Pokewalker for that. ;-)

Sure, I don't use 'em.
So, tomorrow night. What's your friend code? My HG code is in the HG code thread (too lazy to find it now). I'll trade you three whatever Pokemon for the Regis, then we'll trade back, then I'll trade you the Shining Ponyta for the Surfing Pikachu for keepsies?
We'll see if you and I have th same connection problems that Sypke and I keep having.

You can download some new stone right now, take it to pewter city and get Latios or Latias.
Title: Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes on the way
Post by: TJ Spyke on August 01, 2010, 12:43:56 PM
Yeah, that was mentioned a couple of days ago. It's the Enigma Stone. You take it to the Pewter Museum to get the Soul Dew. You can then battle Latios (in HeartGold) or Latias (in SoulSilver). From what I have read, you need the National Dex before you can download it. This shouldn't be a issue for anyone here though.

I just did the event, turning the Enigma Stone into a Soul Dew and caught Latias. It was annoying of coarse, I had it down to about 1 HP and Paralyzed and it still took a bunch of balls to catch.
Cater, I would love to trade or battle, maybe tonight.

Lets trade before we finish. Anything, just to have something with your ID number. Do you have any middle stages of any starters?

Nah, I am right now playing my copy of Platinum and watching TV. I took a break for the match. Like I said, I didn't try to put together a team that would be good against humans, you were really good.
Do you have a throwaway Pokemon handy? I would love to have a Pokemon with your ID number (for the Goldenrod Lottery).
All starter Pokemon I have are in their final form. I could breed one if you really need on, otherwise I will just bring something.
