[lugialucario]

Hello, I have a problem. Yesterday, I started my Soul Silver game. I used my Pokéwalker with my last game and I can't connect to the Pokéwalker. I would like reset the Pokéwalker, but I don't understand the japanese language writing on the notice. Do you know to reset the Pokéwalker?

Edit: I can reset my Pokéwalker, sorry for the question ^^

theSLAYER, Serebii has preliminary pages on both the Unown and the Safari Zone. Well, the Unown page is probably more final than the Safari Zone page..

I know Serebii may have some misinformation sometimes, but as of right now, he is one of the only ones with a page telling you most of what you want to know, even if it isn't specifically detailed yet.

Question:

I'm at the Safari Zone and I'm trying desperately to catch a Floatzel, but online I read that you need to set up something called "block items" to attract one.

Can anyone explain this, or at least tell me how to catch a Floatzel?

Questions:

-In Olivine City when you are trying to go to cianwood city for the secret potion, there is a guy there that pushes you back, i have all the correct prerequisites i believe. but i can't read the japanese the man says so i have no way of knowing what i have to do or have to have...and the guy "!" above his head twice, please HELP. i have looked at the previous posts and i found something regarding the prerequisites and i believe i have them all done. idk if i skipped something or not..

-What are the locations to the Team Rocket sections, ive done up to the basement with the electrodes

[theSLAYER]

the thing is, it says it unlocks another place for the unown, but i cant find it

[DanteKoriyu]

Its supposed to be at the back of the main entrance. Once you are in the actual ruins where the Unown battle you, the ladder you climb, it should be at that back of the room you enter after talking to one of the researchers.

[theSLAYER]

the odd thing is i talked to all the researchers in thee room, and i stiill cant enter. am i missing a step?

In Olivine, are you trying to get past that guy in the harbor building? If that's it, I don't know how to get past him, but if you go out of the building, go a bit west and then south, you can surf from there south to Cianwood.

Did you check for researchers in the ruins/ruin buildings themselves?

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm not going through and actually unlocking and capturing EVERYTHING myself until the game is released in English, not just a patch.

[theSLAYER]

okay sorry to bother you,

I'm just trying to get some things done

[DanteKoriyu]

You aren't bothering me, I'm still trying to help. lol I just don't want to do all that work and capture all the Pokemon, I'll be bored when I have to do it the second time.

Hello guys, I've got a question as well.

Well, gym leader rematch can be also found in HG/SS and my problem is that I can't find the number of Blue to call him for a rematch, unfortunately. I could find the numbers of the other leaders, though. Anyone knows how to get his number? I'm really desperated ... =(

[DanteKoriyu]

I've said it before, Serebii has this sort of information. Even if you guys don't like Serebii, it IS there. To quote them:

"The sixteenth gym leader, Green, is another Gym Leader whom doesn't leave the gym for you to obtain their phone number. Instead, to get his phone number, you have to show a Pokémon of full happiness to his sister, Daisy Oak in Pallet Town after she has massaged your Pokémon 5 times. Once she sees it, she will give you his number. Then, on Sunday Night, you can call him to arrange a rematch."

[dedicatedtoshirona]

Oh well, thanks for information and btw last time I visited serebii it just reads:

"The sixteenth gym leader, Green, is another Gym Leader whom doesn't leave the gym for you to obtain their phone number. Instead, to get his phone number, you have to show a Pokémon of full happiness to his sister, Daisy Oak in Pallet Town. Once she sees it, she will give you his number. Then, on Sunday Night, you can call him to arrange a rematch."

So how would I know exactly to get his number? Sorry, if this sounds insolent. I should've thank you instead of complaining myself ... at least I know the answer, thanks.

[Temeez]

Is there any wild fire pokemon before grass gym?

Can you get the Legend Ribbon in these 2 games?

I've gotten a Ho-oh and an Articuno that both have those ribbons from HG/SS, and everything else about them looks fine, but I'm just curious.

[derrick]

I don't know if you meant to change anything, but your quote is the same as the one I gave and DOES tell you how to get the number. lol

Anyway, it never hurts to check before asking, a lot of the time its often faster if no one responds for a while.

Oh and @Temeez:

No...lol No fire Pokemon till Ecruteak w/ Magmar in the Burnt Tower.
