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

Alright I just plopped down some cash for this game and I've yet to play since Gold/Silver.

Essentially what is new, how does one get his pokeymans from those games, and where can I get my mudkip?

I'm through the second badge, so any of the obvious (2 pokemon fights, item holding, a lack of a real variety of pokeymanz) is already explained to me. I skimmed through here but didn't quite catch all what's going on.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Transfers are done in Pal Park, which requires that the Sinnoh dex be completed and the Elite 4 defeated. Obviously only the GBA games are compatible, so you'd need to have FireRed and LeafGreen to see your Gold/Silver pokemon.

Anyway, good trades tonight-- got an Azelf (with Rare Candy) and Cacturne for a Charmander and Skorupi. Oddly enough, it's the Cacturne that looks hacked.

You listed what I said I already knew about....but whatever.

So before I can trade I have to beat the game? Lame.

And to get Pokemon from Gold/Silver I need to trade them to Fire/Leaf? :\ 'cause if you've actually read what I posted, I also said I don't have those two.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've finally been playing again over the last few weeks and have some decent Pokemon (I've only seen 250 or so, got a TON to do in regards to figuring out how to get them from the previous versions of the game).

For you guys just finishing the Elite Four, there's a bunch of stuff to do afterwards.

And also screw chains. I'll never find a shiny.

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

It's bullshit I tell you. Bullshit!

In Diamond, managed to balance out my team a little and rework some movesets.
In Pearl, just started playing a couple weeks ago... My team as of now:

Lucario (35) [Traded from Diamond]
Monferno (32)
Shinx (24)

I still need to get the 4th badge, but once my school life calms down, I'll get back to it.

Get that Lucario to the daycare. Might as well get your own Riolu. Also, Shinx sucks. Err, Luxray sucks.

Or does he get good once he's in the 70s? Seriously the thing never learns jack shit.

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

Okay your Lopunny obsession is getting really creepy.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The stats should be lower, they were in previous versions. You're best off hatching your own egg like I did for mine.

Most amazing jew boots

Ugh I didn't know about those events there. I'm obviously only up to date on the GameStop ones.

See you guys in Platinum.
