    I got well into the 130s in Diamond on Single, and then in the 50s on everything else except Link Battles (never did it) and Wi-Fi battles (15 in a row is my record; and went as high as rank 5). But then you aren't doing it in any legit way. The best cheat to use is No Guard Ninjask with Sheer Cold.

    Quick Claw? They have legal stats. Though an abnormal amount of them after the second battle with Palmer have nearly all 31 IVs. Smogon's BT thread in their forums goes much more in depth about the AI and their Pokemon's stats.

    A Pokebeach web site member interviewed the guy who was the animation director for most of the last 10 years (currently a storyboard artist) and he admitted to what we all believed to be true: GS Ball was supposed to contain Celebi, but then Celebi was kept for a movie, so the GS Ball basically became an empty plot device to get Ash to Johto.

    NDS Phat sucks. The Lite includes screen brightness and is just overall better, and it's slightly harder to find Phat's now. However, there's more than just asthetic differences between DSLite and DSi. It's got memory storage to actually store stuff like music, and I've read that there will be a downloadable store. GBA games can't be played; however, outside of Pokemon and the Guitar Hero games, that doesn't matter. Gran a cheap Gameboy SP if that's important. The Lite is the better purchase now. In a year, DSi will probably be the standard.

    This sounds like one of those things you can call Gamestop and ask, since it may vary between different franchises/reigons and so on. But the current generation of video game consoles is a good couple years into it. So the previous gen (PS2, Xbox, Gamecube) are probably being completely phased out, if they haven't already done so, with the possible exception of PS2 and it's games.

    Question answered, so closed. Use the Questions thread in the future.

    The TLDR answer is that some event Pokemon might come back as hacked due to the checker not being manually updated to have that event in it as legal. Anyways, closing this. Use the questions thread in the future.

    I might be able to battle sometime tomorrow. If you have AIM, MSN, or Yahoo, PM me and maybe we'll run into each other online. I'm also usually on either Serebii's chat room or PP's chatroom, both as randomspot555. FC isn't memorized and my DS isn't on me , so I can give that to you tomorrow.

    I was originally part of a club over at the Serebii Forums where we intentionally asked for Pokes that were likely to be hacked so we could release or "destroy" them. It was fun for a while, but interest ultimately died down. I've yet to use the GTS at all in Plat, but I'm going to get going on it soon when I get my Wii set up, so I have Ranch to transfer stuff to.

    Great. Moving to the Questions thread. Please use that from now on.

    She uses Yanmega quite often. Wobbuffet has gotten some usage in Contests, but it's very much "de-powered" compared to the games. It doesn't show any trace of it's unique Shadow Tag ability, and without that, Wobbuffet loses power. It's really more of a Pokemon like Meowth, rather than a Pokemon she uses to battle with.
  12. randomspot555
    It is not cool putting hacks on the GTS and letting people get them because they have no way of knowing of it's legality beforehand. Closing this. A "Discuss GTS Activities" thread would be good for discussion, but this isn't the way to do so.

    I remember way back in Gen II, incest was programmed into the games so that those two Pokemon won't breed. That was taken out in Gen 3. Hmm.
  14. randomspot555
    What is MLG?
  15. randomspot555
    It's 100% confirmed that D/P Korean cannot interact, in any way, with non-Korean games in any legal fashion. And unless Korean data (for the language) was added to the Japanese release, I doubt Korean Plat has data for other languages.

    Rock takes neutral damage to electric. It's ground types that are immune to it.

    What? I didn't like the episode. That's it. I didn't declare the anime is dead to me, or wax nostalgic on kanto/orange/johto. I can't really be positive about it because I thought the episode was bad. That doesn't mean it's a negative thought. It's just my thoughts on that episode. My standard might be higher because a lot of the "filler" episodes have been real good in D/P, and this one as a big "event" was a huge let down.
  18. randomspot555
    That's why I said early D/P and Gen III. It's still by far the most comprehensive guide, as far as I know. Not just detailing OT/ID#, but restrctions, and sometimes what was going on at the event itself. As far as I know, I think he's still available at the listed e-mail address, and I think he posts on a few Pokemon forums. Maybe he's working on an update.

    I'm not saying the regis aren't legendary. They're specifically referred to as such. But the anime often adds a god-like status to them, like complete control of nature or something like that, or very referred to by the citizens of whatever town is near by. The Regi trio didn't have that. They just had the name "Legendary Pokemon".
  20. randomspot555
    Really, while people can make TLDR reasons for this, it's ultimately about growing up. What entertains an 8 year old and an 18 year old are different. It's the same reason why many don't play the games anymore, or why so many wax nostalgia on Gen I and II, while hating III and IV. As much as Misty fans will disagree, she is an anime stereotype. The typical tomboy. And it fits that. It's gotten much worse since Kanto/Johto. However, running gags are a staple of kids' television. So it's to be expected. But this is just not reaosnable. The anime takes a more "realistic" approach to Pokemon. Many...it seems you are one, think it should work just like the games, where 99% of the time evolution=better. But the anime only has a loose meaning of levels and experience, and evolution isn't something that's automatic, or something that is even necessarily good. It's been mentioned a few times that Pokemon mentally change as well as physically, so it might not be the best for them to evolve right away, if ever, and they shouldn't be forced to. Again, same case. The anime and games aren't the same. Yeah, this sucked, especially since later episodes do establish that ground is immune. But they've become much more consistant with immunities (Norman won't hit ghost, and vice versa) in the past few years. And really, as a 6-10 year old kid perspective, who cares? They certainly don't. The Regi-trio, unlike many of the legendaries featured on the anime, weren't portrayed as god-like. They were just Pokemon with "legendary" status. Nothing too special. And nothing is too inherently bad as far as ice vs electric. But really, all anime battles are decided on what's needed to advance the story. Experience means nothing as long as it moves the plot along. I still watch the anime beause I know what to expect, a kids' show with a simple plot, and something I can make hilarious GIFs out of. It's gotten much better with D/P, especially since 4kids no longer does the dubbing.

    Incredibly lame, as I pointed out in the Rotom discussion. For something that's supposed to be big on plot, it hardly featured the Pokemon doing the battling at all. The Japanese episode translates into "Cresselia vs DArkrai" or something like that. And their "battle" lasted like...what, two minutes? Also, the animation sucked.
  22. randomspot555
    Gold Ursaring's Event Guide on Gamefaq's D/P section is a great resource for early D/P events and Gen III. It not only tells dates, but any restrictions about the event (A few were limited to neutral natures, like some Manaphy events), or the actual event itself as far as activities go.
  23. randomspot555
    This is not the Pokesav help forum. Normally, I'd move it, but it looks like the question has been answered. So...
  24. randomspot555
    There's one forum where like 99% of the stuff is posted. It's not hard to find. (Pokesav Requests)
  25. randomspot555
    Tournament rules say any illegal Pokemon, even if it's not in your registered party, can get you banned. From reading about the tournaments, it seems they only check non-registered Pokes from those who advance to some of the top spots.
