I think there may be a difference of hex 10 between the EU and US offsets, but it is the EU version of the game that I have so I can confirm the potential offset difference if need be..

I am trying to give myself 9999 coins. I went through the aggravation of getting the number required for the Dratini but have no desire to get 9999 for the Porygon. My intention is to do a halfword code to (I presume) put the number of coins in the relevant slot that contains the Coin Case.

Or has someone already done a code for the Coin Case?

Yes, thanks. I usually try to evolve Pokemon as soon as they are able. Working on Eevees at the moment having got all the stones required for the last three. My newly hatched Eevee went to Vaporeon at Lv 1. So far Umbreon is my favourite (mine is currently Lv 37),

Back to the (dreaded?) Safari Zone. Whether visiting in the middle of the night had any bearing on the fact that I had my best run there ever I don't know, but this morning things were well and truly "business as usual" i.e abyssmal catch rates. Is there any possiblilty that time of day has an effect on catch rates (for those Pokemon that can appear at any time?

I abandoned my run through (saved just before entering, having sorted the areas I wanted). I will revisit tonight to see if it does make any difference at all... unless anyone knows any better of course.

The nice thing about Disgaea is that you can go back to it and play for a few minutes or a few (???) hours. The story can be taken in small or large chunks.

I think my favourite character has to be Etna. There is some superb interaction between her and the other characters.

I think I may be returning to the DS version before too long. I really ought to see about getting some high level characters in that version.

Hello and welcome (I'm new too).

I like messing around with AR codes (using existing ones) to the extent that I try to write codes for specific items in my bag. I am not sure I completely trust codes that instantly fill the bag. I would rather just work with the slots I currently have and adjust when needed.

Thanks for that. Strangely the Lv 40 plus "specials" that are enticed by the objects (so far) are pretty mcuh a guaranteed capture. I got two Houndooms, each with the first ball (one for SS). Same with some Ponytas.

I now have a bookmark set on the Safari Zone Guide at Gamefaqs for my future Pokemon collecting. Also useful as to what Pokemon I need to find in my GBA cartidges to fill in the gaps.

I presume some people may prefer a Lv 42 Ponyta as opposed to a pre-evolution level one. Is there any advantage in holding back on Pokemon Evolution in terms of stats?

Strangely the DS version of the game was the most "complete". You gained the ability to have Pleinair as a playable character and also gained the Prinny Commentary. I think you lost out on some of the voice acting though.

That is what I like about the games... the humour.

I have been a huge fan of these games since I bought the original as a US import for the PS2. I even bought the Japanese version of the second game just so that I could play it "early". I usually have to buy the American releases due to a reluctance of UK versions appearing.

I put in ridiculous hours on the first game (over 800 hours) between the PS2 version, PSP version and DS version and have completed the story on PS2 and PSP.

I completed the story on the Japanese version of the second game and only competed the English language story on the PSP (I do have the US PS2 version as well) when it was released on that.

The third game arrived on PS3 and I got to the stage where I could gain ridiculous numbers of levels in a very short time. The maximum character level is 9999 but you can redo the character from Lv 1 with enhanced stats. I maxxed out a mage with the maximum number of stored levels (over 170,000... hence the enhanced stats).

I find the Safari Zone seriously frustrating. Having tried the Mud first and just throwing a ball there seems no real advantage with either method. I believe the Mud makes the Pokemon more likely to flee anyway. I now just throw a ball and hope. On a good run I can catch maybe four or five Pokemon with my allocation of balls.

Where do you find Houndoom. I was trying to get one in Pearl (to transfer) but it was just too far away with the limited steps as I wasn't sure where to go..

I did over 2000 steps on my HG and SS Pokewalkers. Found 3 Bronzors on the SS one but could only find Magikarp on the HG one.

I returned a Pokemon to the SS one on a different route. Before I could do the same on the HG one a Magikarp took up residence (!) so it looks like I will be doing Winner's Path again. I have never had that happen before!

Also a guide here with no soldering involved. Not sure about the use of the sticky tape though.

You may find that those cartridges just need a new battery. Do they play and not save? If so check here...

I just downloaded mine to HG and SS.

I got some quick steps on the Pokewalker by reasonably gently clapping my hands together vertically (carefully holding the Pokewalker in one hand). You will need to experiment a bit with the way you hold it and the way you clap before the steps go on (fairly rapidly). Not sure how much I was actually getting but I got the counter from 509 to 640 in a minute.

I am going off my PS3 to an extent. With the last update the Browser (I rarely go online with a PC) loses Cookies way too quickly. Voice chat is restricted to the game you are playing (or no game I presume). The PS3 has other good facilities for you to "play" with. Also download content is sometimes cheaper on PS3. The machine is not region specific (yet?).

360? Much more flexible voice chat. Downside... it costs money to use the online "excellence". I prefer the 360 controller triggers for racing games.

As you may have gathered I am not really biased one way or the other (this may start an argument!!).

There are console specific games that are very good for both systems. Multi-platform games do not show much (if any) difference between the two consoles.

My first video game was most likely one of the old Pong "tennis" games. All in glorious Black and White. This would have been in the 70's I presume. I eventually progressed to an Atari 2600 which was in glorious colour, that by way of another console that played a game called Star Chess. (Videomaster)

I did actually fire up my (US) Pokemon Pikachu Edition this morning as I found my (Pokemon) Game Boy Color.

For the old games it is not so much Bragging Rights as a case of being distracted by other games. I have played all the old games to a greater or lesser extent.

My Action Replay stuff tends to be specifics rather than the general stuff that the codes normally contain (all based on the normal codes). Offsets for specific slots in the Bag are easy to locate (I figure they are safer than filling the bag).

I loved the old original Playstation where you could plug in your Action Replay and actually look directly into memory. I spent many a happy hour investigating Gran Turismo 2, building so called hybrids... engine from one car, drive sytem from another. The advent of the PS2 and code entry mods put a stop to that unfortunately.

At the moment I am trying to resist the temptation to boost the number of Master Balls that I have in Heartgold.

Unfortunately the PS3 Browser has limited input. So short posts

I like the Dragonite as a Pokemon, though I admit it does not look that impressive. The fact that it does not bear much resemblance to its previous evolutions is not that unusual I suppose... look at Magikarp and Gyarados.

My Dragonite is now Lv 82. I won my Dratini in the Game place in Goldenrod. Took ages to get the coins.

I think I have every standard Pokemon game (DS, GBA and GB for either Europe or US). Though I have only played the game since it first appeared on the GBA.

I have a Gameboy Color, GBA, GBA SP, DS, DS Lite and DSi.

I have a tendency to get distracted and sometimes not complete them! I am currently at 12 badges on HG and 3 on SS.

I do have some of the spinoff Pokemon games (DS, GBA, GC, N64).

Not sure whether I will ever use Pokesave, but I do have an AR for my DS and discovered that I must have used an AR with my Emerald game (I was doing an import into HG so decided to catch some Pokemon for the purpose).

I have played with AR codes, rewriting existing ones to change specific items on my Bag or quantities of an item. I found I had not got far enough in Pearl to get a Lucky Egg on a Chansey from the Pokemon Mansion so changed an Oval Stone entry in my bag to become 2 Lucky Eggs!

I usually use my PS3 for browsing which does have limitations (and a current habit of losing Cookies!).
