[DS] How do you get 3,000 pikachus on a bus? POKEMON!

This game is way too addicting. I managed to snag a pearl copy on Sunday without a reservation and yet I was given one of those stylus-things anyway *what.* Oh well, I played it the next day and I almost couldn't stop ;_;

Bah, I can't wait to get access to Park Pals and assemble what's left of my other team.

I'm willing to help :3
I think I need to trade my machop anyway (now soon to be machoke) if I want him to become a machamp.

If you ever come across it just use a exp. share to level up your Magikarp =o.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Actually, I never tested this but there is a trainer/townsperson (at sandgem town I think) that asks you what kind of trainer you'd like to be. There is also another person near the GTS building that asks for your favorite type. Maybe that has something to do with what your online appearance will be?

edit: I've been beaten!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm saving my TM's so that I have good movesets too.

Hmm I didn't know this. I suppose this is the main reason why you want to raise your strongest pokemon from the lowest level possible =o.


EDIT:
Oh right, I also added everyone's FC from the gfwiki page. Maybe I'll find some of you online!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It was a missmatch from hellllll~

You just wait until I get the rest of my team here! *shakes fists*

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Freelance wolf and I are still in the mid 20's. But I hope to get past level 30 later tonight, if I have the time.
To be honest I just want to unlock that Pal Park but I guess that involves beating this game first.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I haven't done much battling at all for the past few days. So I'm definitely up for a few matches.

Anyway onto my report.
After defeating the Elite 4 with my half-baked team-- [To recap I finished with my team mostly at level 52, one is level 57. Like BurningRanger I hopped in there with the mind set of getting my ass kicked. But with a good supply of Full Restores and Hyper Potions I made it through all right.]

So, I decided to see and catch the last three pokemon needed to obtain the national dex, which was alot easier than I thought too. Only Mespirt wanted to run around but at least the game allowed me to see a picture of it before it flew off. So then I ventured off to the Snow Point Temple and quickly to this Battle Zone island. I really like how I can purchase almost any TM I want over there. Only problem is earning the points to get them. You have to have a insane amount of time to battle your way through for a TM. Three battle points after seven matches? And this one TM I'm interested in will cost more than 30BP ._.

So I said fuck that and now I'm slowly exploring the rest of the island :3.

edit:
Gah, I forgot to post my FC ~ Kairyu: 1246-5201-4026 (Pearl)
You should be able to find this same info at gfwiki.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I don't have any kanto starters to trade you but I do have that shiny stone if you want your Roselia to evolve =o. I have no idea what you can trade me in return so consider it a freebie!

...Actually! If you have diamond version would you mind trading the fossil that's exclusive in your version?

How ya doing, buddy?

I think it's called a Skull Fossil. Not totally sure on that but I assume Cranidos can be resurrected from it. If you have it, cool! If not, I'll give ya a shiny stone anyway!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Lol kairyu let me load up the item, =D

Haha, alright thanks for the trade LS! I'll put this Skull Fossil to good use :3.

A little request to anyone available for the moment! I'm training a Rhyhorn which just evolved into a Rhydon. And in order to evolve Rhydon I need a someone to trade with. Perhaps I can offer a heart scale for your trouble.

And there I was hoping I would see splash attack actually do something. It got me laughing anyway!

I read it on Gamespot. I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a shot.

Well I just gave it a shot. I put it up and then took it back like you said. No go.
Maybe I have to deposit the pokemon AND logoff? Or is this myth busted?

Edit: Ok I'll be waiting, just PM me when you're ready! Thanks =D

So... anybody need Sinnoh starters, Charmander, or Mudkip?

Something I just noticed, my number of fire users is abysmally low. I think all I have is one Rapidash. So~ I wouldn't mind having a Charmander to add to my team. Let me know what you want in return =o.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

*blinks*
Alright, sure =D
Is there anything you want? I feel I'm just taking and not actually giving back anything overhere! Oh well I'll be waiting online.

And actually, I'll PM when I'm ready. I still have to import Pokemon and catch them in Pal Park. <_<

Haha, alright.
I'm trying remember doing that once a day too on my sapphire version. I have alot of TMs to bring over.

Originally Posted by Generic Badass

Nah, I'm not out to catch them all. Plus Chimchar appears to have a lot of common weaknesses with its given type (fighting and fire right?)

Well Serebii's pokedex says you can find them at route 218 but you'll need a PokeRadar to find them. So you'll have to beat the Elite 4 first.

Anyway, I can catch one for you if you're willing to wait. Gotta grab a few Z's in a minute so I'll PM you in the morning unless someone else can trade you one.

Most amazing jew boots

Not doing much in the game right now.
If anything I'm slowly checking out where all the hard-to-find Pokemon are hiding (like Porygon and Vulpix.) Also, I managed to catch Cresselia, Giratina and Rotom the other night. After 20 minutes of walking I didn't feel like chasing down Cresselia again so I used my only master ball on that. On the other hand Giratina didn't put up much of a fight as I thought it would. After about 10 ultra balls and Dusk balls I eventually caught it too. With that done I think to myself, there's so many new legendary Pokemon running around ._.

Oh yeah, I knew I forgot to post this yesterday after Wolf gave me the link:

It's not my final team or anything just my top fighters at the moment.
Nice find Wolf

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Yeah, it's not that bad at all. I only said that because using a Chimchar in my team probably isn't a good idea. I already have Machamp covering the fighting type~ my only issue was using a dependable fire type or a pokemon that's capable of learning alot of different fire moves.
Hopefully for me Charizard was a good choice, despite his huge weakness to rock types.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As you probably figured out by now the eevee I gave you will ignore your orders, Mwahaha!

That's not entirely true. Miles didn't even get to the second gym but I traded him a Eevee that won't listen to him *it's at level 16 or 18 I believe.* And as far as I know you can't get that on your own until "beating" the game.
As for using Pal Park to migrate your pokemon from other games you need to get the national dex first. Which in turn might involve beating the game first but I hear that's optional.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No weaknesses? Shit ._.
Now I want one... maybe.
Well I do see a couple down sides to it and that would be its HP and Speed stats. I doubt it could survive a Outrage or Earthquake attack. So I'm wondering, what is the potential in this pokemon? Aside from weaknesses keep in mind I'm pretty clueless on dark and ghost types.

I mess with wifi battles now and then. But I haven't found any challengers lately, at least not this week. I guess everyone is still quietly building their super team. Probably for the upcoming gff wifi tournament, if there is one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha,
I decided to have a little fun with my trainer card. My eevees are so powerful you'll forfeit the match =D.

Anyway, I'm just hunting for certain pokemon (for other people!) and leveling up when I'm not out working. Team-wise, I'm thinking about ditching my Rhyperior and Garchomp for anything else. Not sure what.

Well if you're going to put Dragonite in your team consider giving up a Heart Scale to teach it a elemental punch or two.

Yeah I read up on it and decided it is just way too time consuming to utilize properly. It's bad enough I have to jump through hoops of catching certain pokemon and breeding them to have the movelist I want.

Nope, at least I don't think so after checking serebii.net. Apparently breeding a Manaphy will result in this.

...yeah what Chaotic said =p.

edit: Actually I have a odd request if anyone has time for a trade. I would like a Horsea with a neutral nature! Neutral natures include:
Bashful
Quirky
Serious
Docile
Hardy
But why? They're so easy to find! Easier to train that way~

edit2: Thanks Freelance Wolf for the Horsea!

FELIPE NO

Originally Posted by Elixir

If you mean they're easier to catch, I guess.

Actually no, I was talking about the fact that traded pokemon recieve more experience points in battle over pokemon you've caught or breeded yourself.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Originally Posted by Freelance Wolf

Oh, and one more question. Sorry XD

What is a better item to use? Macho Brace or Lucky Egg? I suppose MB's good when you're training an actual team member, while LE's good for everything else. MB is best for Pokémon with naturally slow speed anyway, right?

About your two questions:
1) Dragon Scales don't do anything to a user other than assist in evolution trades for Seadra. If there's more to it then I obviously don't know about it!

2) If you're into EV training Macho Braces will do alot of good for those tanks. Supposedly it doubles the amount of EV points earned for the affected stats but the user's speed stat is inhibited. Well you know what a lucky egg does~ Now to say which is better depends how you're training your pokemon. I'm not really into counting EV points or anything like that so in almost all cases I'll pick a Lucky Egg over a Macho Brace!

Thanks for the quick trade *again*
Enjoy the Bagon =p.

I just chatted with Freelance Wolf about it and I can cover the trade whenever you're online. I have a Sneasel with a serious nature.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
