Bassman

Yes, that would be...

It was still a fair amount of money in those days. I must admit I was wondering how on earth I could afford it at the time.

Must say I prefer a more restrained look to my guitars. My Fender Jazz Bass is a Sunburst with Rosewood neck and of course the chrome bridge and pickup covers. My Yamaha 4 string is black (as is my Line6). My acoustic 12 string has I suppose a what you would call blonde finish. The Yamaha 6 string bass looks similar to this...

Mine is an earlier model and only has a single Truss Rod.

The Trading Card game was (I presume) Generation 1 as it is for the Gameboy Color. Just as well I found one of my Poekmon edition Game Boy Color's the other week. It currently has Peokmon Yellow in it. May have to try out the Trading Card game and see how average it was as I don't think it was particularly well received at the time.

I don't think I bought it new. Probably got it off ebay or a forum.

No Pokemon trading card in Leaf Green though it does have the Wireless adaptor, I thought they were all released with the adaptor (in the UK anyway).

I'd forgotten that Epiphone have released some "budget" double necks.

I don't think the Shergold was anywhere near as expensive as the Gibson ones. If memory serves me correctly (it was probably 30 or more years ago) it was on sale at £60 (reduced).

A web search came up empty on twin neck Les Pauls but did highlight this unusual Gretsch...

Just came across this when I found my Fire Red. It came complete with a Limited Edition Pokemon Card.

Not sure I ever actually played it, other that to check that the cartridge was OK. Does anyone else remember this?

Did they make a double necked Les Paul? I knew they made the SG double necks.

The UK maker Shergold (had to use Google to confirm the name) made some as well, including a rather unusual double neck bass with a 6 string (old style with normal 6 string style tuning, but an octave lower) and an 8 string (4 sets of 2 strings tuned in octaves like a 12 string). Also it was fretless! I think I managed to just miss out on one of those when a local music shop shut down.

At least my fretless Yamaha 4 string has light wood inlays where the frets would normally be.

Inevitably I used Charmander in Leaf Green. As for Fire Red, I just found mine a little while ago and it is still sealed in its box!!! May be worth trying out the Wireless Adaptor (even looks like the Leaf Green one has not been used), do some transfers and see if I can get all three starters on it.

Well, I have all three starters for HG/SS on my HG game (started three times, trading the Pokemon to another game to return when I had the third starter. I have uploaded .pkm files if you want to take a look.

Also may I suggest trying out Pokegen. At least with that you can check out all the PC boxes easily.

You can find it here...

Just load your save file into it or a ,pkm file. Any questions about using it post them here and someone will answer.

HG and SS were my first UK DS games, so I was relieved to find all the US codes worked on them.

I bought the American releases of the first three DS games, which meant I got them before the UK release which was nice.

At least with the ARDS/ARDSi Code Manager you get the option to pickup codes from all the regions which is useful.

No influences on my guitar playing anyway. It is pretty much for my own amusement.

I have a fairly narrow necked 12 string acoustic which seems to stay in tune well... for a 12 string. I affectionately (!) call it the Finger Killer as playing bass, my fingers do not harden up. Play it for about 15 minutes for a nice case of sore fingers!

I also have the base model Line6 Guitar which is quite fun with all the differnt guitar sounds it can make. Some very clever technology there, as one option is to have a chord tuned sound rather than the standard EADGBE. At least it saved having to buy an electric 12 string (my favourite normal guitar sound) as one of the settings is a Rickenbacker 360-12. The Banjo sound is also pretty impressive. You certainly get a wide variety of guitars in one package!

At some point I would like to try to make a solo recording (I do have a cheap midi drum machine) but I can always seem to find other things to take up my time. Then there would be the minor matter of deciding the song!

Which game did these pokemon originate from? They can be obtained in HG and SS. The Tyranitar could have been met at Lv 20 at Mt Silver. The Salamence could have been met in the Safari Zone at Lv 45 or 46.

Playing the game on DS but had a request for some of the Pokewalker Pokemon. I am always on the lookout for .pkm files. Excellent work.

Had some interesting times with that first band. We we got to play a few songs in Earls Court at the end of a week of various Christian Events in London, which was an interesting experience to say the least. That plus an open air event in Traflagar Square... at least we got to scare the Pigeons!

We also got to play at the first Greenbelt Christian Rock Festival... way back when!

Looking back it was an eventful time. Most eventful was an open air event in the old Oxford United ground one rainy evening. Needless to say rain and electric intstruments don't mix too well! At least we lived to tell the tale!!!

Not sure who, if anyone influences my bass playing. I usually go for a more melodic approach, though to an extent that is dependent on the song. With the 6 string I can almost get well into guitar territory. Just over 4 octave range from the low B to a high C (8th fret on the top string of a 6 string guitar). The TRB-6P also has a bridge pickup so I can go "acoustic" if the song lends itself to it.

Thanks Tillerjpg. Lyrics are definitely not my strong point though I can come up with music if the need arises.

I have a couple of 4 string basses (would be shock to go back to 4 though). I have an early 70's Fender Jazz Bass and a Yamaha BB400S Fretless. I have a Korg M1 a friend was selling and decided I didn't want to miss out on it. Also a Roland MT-32 which amazingly was supported in one of the Kings Quest games on the Atari ST. It did sound good.

Relyte, My cousin played the Oboe (Grade 8 I think). I think you would definitely be classed a "proper" musician with the Oboe!

My last recording session was with a Jazz Band I occasionally play with. We recorded two standards I suppose you'd call them. I much prefer "rock" music.

Here is your Pokemon

Seeing as the Vulpix is only in Soul Silver and on Route 38 here is an alternative using that...

You can trade any of your Pokemon. Anything you caught will do, saves having to return it. I can then upload the save to my PC and read it to see the SID on the Pokemon. FC - 0045 5593 5457 - Roger

I suspect that the SID may have a maximum value of 65535. The safest way to check SID is to look at the Pokemon in Pokesav or Pokegen. If you can't do that directly, you can trade any Pokemon to me and I can upload the save to check the SID.

There is a program that checks the legality of a Pokemon, but it has its limitations. Event and Pokewalker Pokemon come out as hacked. If the information on the Pokemon is correct and available for that Pokemon then it is probably legal.

Pokegen calculates its PID in conjunction with Nature and IV's (I think). Only certain combinations of IV's will generate a PID in Pokegen. For a Shiny it also takes into account the Trainer ID and SID, unless you generate a Shiny by adjusting SID.

It is Lv 5. Has the Ability Natural Cure. Moves Wish and Sweet Scent. Mine originated in Emerald and came via the Pal Park into Diamond or Pearl. Happiness of 140. Calm Nature.

My main istrument is the bass guitar. I currently play a Yamaha TRB-6P 6 string bass. I do play guitar and a bit of keyboards for my own amusement mostly.

I suppose my main claim to fame is an albun recorded way back when and released on vinyl by a Christian record label was re-issued a few years back on CD... in Korea. I managed to buy it online from the US.

A more recent (using the term loosely) band I was with had a reunion three years ago and the keyboard player put some videos on Youtube. This song I would say is my favourite out of our somewhat limited repertoire. So, if you want to see some ageing "rockers" go ahead... click

At least I have a DVD and CD of the "best of" the session. I even have an original CD of our stuff which was transferred from tape. Never released commercially, just done for our own satisfaction I suppose (it was a while ago now).

I know we have drummers and guitarists around the place. Anyone want to own up to their musical talents?

Hello and welcome to Project Pokemon.

As far as games go I am unbiased. Still, we are all entitled to our own opinions. I have all the current consoles/handhelds and each is good in their own way.

This is about as short as a Pokemon Code comes in at...

Wii... Some decent games there. Does not look too bad on a Component input. Gamecube backward compatibility. You do get a little exercise playing the games (some of them).

360... For racing games I prefer the controller. Some decent titles available. Very good online service (though you pay for it). Chat to others regardless of game you are playing. The new motion capture device looks too expensive for the average gamer. Not sure how it would be with some games.

PS3... Mine is backard compatible. Decent games (again) though let down by the complications of developing games for it which can result in slightly inferior graphics. Put triggers on my controllers which improves them a lot. Use mine as a browser, though it does have a tendency to freeze. Playstation Plus seems a good deal but I can play online without it so I will save my money. Playstation move... controllers are more expensive than the standard one. Not sure how good it will actually be. Probably closer to the Wii than the 360 system.

My ARDSi installed OK, so I will check out the disk and see what I can do.

This is everything that was on the disk...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GSWL0DM

It is around 10Mb.

What operating system does your PC have?

Just had a fun filled half hour using the Codejunkies (Datel) and Google ro try to find some mention of the ARDSi Code Manager.

As far as I can see, the ARDSi is no longer made. I wonder if its inability to do anything with Heartgold or Soulsilver saves has got them designing something new.

On Codejunkies the only Action Replays for the DS are the standard Action Replay DS and the Action Replay DS Media Edition.

I have successfully used a specific Route AR code on the ARDS but have Porblems with the ARDSi for some reason.

What Routes do you currently have?

I'll do some further testing now.
