Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver (It's here :3!!!!)

[Fuelbi]

Right now I have:

Notched Ear Pichu (my friend loaned me his shiny pichu to do the event)
Magmortar (I got one at burned tower and he gave me a magmarizer to evolve it)
Quilava
Raticate
Sudowoodo

I had a flaffy, but I replaced it with notched ear.

Is it just me or is there music playing on this page? Is it the one from the Spell of the Unown? I love that song. Where is the **** source of the song. If its a video, I can't find it XD

 

[Octave]

Has anyone else noticed the colors of the stats on the pokemon? Red = Positively affected by natures, blue = negatively affected. Pretty sweet, no more checking lists.

 

[SpiredMoth]

It's a hidden video posted by Mic. And it's the opening theme from one of the Johto seasons from the anime (which was most likely also played in one of the movies)

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Right now I have...

Quilava Level 24
Zubat Level 17
Fearow Level 23
Sudowoodo Level 21
Togepi level 19

Oh wow, that's pretty subtle, I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out. That's pretty nice.

Also, about the music:

There's the answer. Mod powers. Mic is pretty awesome.

And that's the TV version, not the movie version.

Are the base stats/movepools of pokemon changed in HG and SS, or is competitive battling going to stay the same?

 

[Moozle]

So, I love the National Park theme.

I haven't played a ton but my team right now is

Level 24 Croconaw
Level 24 Flaaffy
Level 25 Skiploom
Level 21 Noctowl

I just need my Octillery and then something else and I'm set

Edit: and that thing with the natures is reall nice! Too bad I just noticed most of mine have bad natures lol

Yeah, I noticed that some time ago (I forget when lol). I'm not used to all the natures yet, so it's really good for me. >.<

I don't know about base stats, but the movepools have definitely changed. Ho-Oh getting Brave Bird is pretty big. But I don't think HGSS will affect the metagame too adversely.

My team thus far:

Lvl 29 Xatu (Poppy)
Lvl 30 Chinchou (Proton)
Lvl 30 Heracross (Patricia)
Lvl 30 Croconaw (Alyssa)
Lvl 7 Rattata (Cutter) (lolz)

 

[Terywj [태리]]

The nature color coding is pretty awesome, may I add.

[Ryu Shimazu]

This song reminds me of saturday mornings... <_< and does anyone know how many oran berrys that fat sick miltank needs? I used 3 so I had to run to get me a oran berry from the pokewalker...which is awesome

 

[Mewter]

Are there still berry patches scattered around the region in HG/SS like in DPP?

If not, getting them via Pokewalker is still pretty awesome.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I heard those were removed for apricots and whatnot. You can trade for berries, I think?

-Terywj

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

You get a keyitem that is berrypots, which is so much more convenient for planting...since you carry them around. Turns out that cow needs 10 berries... I'm growing them as fast as I can... ; ; /wants ball seals...

 

[Terywj [태리]]

You get seals for feeding the sick Miltank? Cool.

What happened when you did that in the original G/S/C? My memory is failing me.

-Terywj

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I don't know, never did it. And no, 10 berries = seal case key item. Then some chick gives you some free seals..and I'm not sure how to get them from there.
What makes me so angry is getting accessories in the fashion case for photos (for fun) is so easy in this game, probably because it's not necessary. I wish in platinum it had been this easy, the stupid beauty master-rank contest with Milotic, I always lost because my dress-ups were fails... =/

Note: I did become the master of poke-DDR though.

 

[Firus]

In the original you got the ability to buy Moomoo Milk and the Snore TM.

Correct lol.

10?! Ah crap, I'll never get that much. >_<

-Terywj

I don't know, never did it.

I'm pretty sure you get Moomoo Milk, and the ability to buy more Moomoo milk from the farmer, though I could be wrong on that.

lolninja'd+corrected

And no, 10 berries = seal case key item. Then some chick gives you some free seals..and I'm not sure how to get them from there.

From my exploration of Olivine, I think some kid in one of the houses that leads off from the path to the lighthouse gives you some, though I have no idea of the method needed to give them to you.

 

[The Real Gamer]

So I finally got SS today and after an hour of playing it I can honestly say this is the best Pokemon game I've ever played hands down.

My new order of favorite to least favorite games now looks like this:

HG/SS>GSC>FR/LG>RBY>DPPt>RSE

 

[keychain323]

so which is better hg or ss

 

[Fuelbi]

SS duh!

Teddursa > the other version exclusives

 

[UberMario]

I love the legend summoning music in this set of games, so gorgeous.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

HG has better exclusives..but Lugia has always been my favorite legendary. <.< I'm always in an arguement with someone who loves Mewtwo that Lugia would win. (Probably not in game, but... meh)...

Go Lugia ; ;...
Also... Ho-oh figurine is crapping fire

 

[Circa]

so which is better hg or ss

HG, because Ho-Oh is a sex machine.

The box is more nostalgic as well. The one for SS is like silver with a blue swirl and rainbows and ****, which doesn't even make sense. HG is just a classic gold with silver swirl. Simple yet amazing.

I finally got Ice Beam, and now I'm taking a break from Voltorb Flip. That game gets rather aggravating after so long, especially when you get all the way up to Lv. 7 and then make the most logical decision on which card to flip for your first, and pull up a Voltorb; meaning you drop all the way back to Lv. 1. SO ANNOYING.

So now my Smoochum's ****** Drowzees and Dittos and Rattatas and Abras with Ice Beam. And after she's done, it's Sandshrew's turn. Then it's off to beast Whitney with a full team of Lv. 20s. >:3

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

The Voltorb game is so addictive though...I had to pull myself away from it.
I feel bad for making my gatr a HMwhore with Tropius (still powerful, waterfall ftw) and using Charizard instead <.<

 

[deepseadiva]

What are the best choices for HM Slaves in SS?

I just beat Bugsy and am using Onix (Rock Smash) and Furret (Cut).

Furret learns a ton, including things like Surf and Strength. If you can bother, Gyarados handles all of your Water TMs along with Strength.

Changes are inRED
EDIT-
HOLY
CRAP
I SAW
A
RAIKOU!
couldn't catch it, one ultra ball and it ran away :/

 

[Mushroomring]

got a shiny totodile today. too bad the nature and ivs were perfect for cyndaquil

 

[M.K]

Just beat the Speed and Power Categories of the Pokethlon!
The Pokethlon random stats really encourage me to catch new Pokemon! I mean, my own team wasn't fit to handle the speed course, so my newly hatched Togepi and my PokeWalker Sentret really helped me out in that one!!

My in-game team is:
Crocanaw - Level 24
Nidorino - Level 23
Doduo - Level 20

 

[Chill]

Haha, I can't stand having a unbalanced team. I was using a team similar to Meta kirbys but I got ***** by a electric type. Now I'm carrying a team of 5 level 22 to 26 pokemon. I'm probably going to alternate some team members when I get closer to the E4. I don't think my bird pokemon is going to make the cut. I'm also tired of wasting slots on HM whores so I've been spreading the moves around, 1 HM for each pokemon.

 

[deepseadiva]

Dunsparce is so broken in-game.

Glare + Headbutt/Bite is broken on everyone forever.

 

[ndayday]

Quilava lv. 15
Spinarak lv. 14

**** yeah.
Ariados looked interesting, I'll see what happens.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Does anyone know where you catch Teddiursa in SS? I want an Ursaring.

 

[Circa]

Teddiursa is on Route 45, which is the one just south of Blackthorn City. It's impossible to get Teddiursa before this point, bar a trade with a friend or going to the GTS.

I lost the Bug-Catching contest with a Level 14 Pinsir (which is basically a guaranteed win in the old games, btw). -_- It wasn't until afterward that I discovered a part of the judging was based on how much HP it had left and whether or not the Pokemon was statused when you caught it. Let's just say Canti (my Dunsparce) ****ed it up pretty bad before I caught it. And I took third because of this.

 

[Mic_128]

Teddiursa is on Route 45, which is the one just south of Blackthorn City. It's impossible to get Teddiursa before this point, bar a trade with a friend or going to the GTS.

Speaking of the GTS, with my luck it's just Australian servers, but can anyone connect? Tried all day and seems servers are down or something :/

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

got a shiny totodile today. too bad the nature and ivs were perfect for cyndaquil

It's okay, 2hours into the game I ran into a shiny geodude. I wasn't prepared, so I had to waste a masterball I transferred over...down to 2 ; ;. It's Serious(lol ; and it has a 27 IV Character thing. The only plus is all it's IVs lean on the 20~27 side, which I haven't seen since I got an Impetuous and Silly Vaporeon like that.

Also <.< I got really lazy and used Tropius from Plt as a HM ***** along with Feraligatr. Go Waterfall!


Is anyone wondering how Sring some of these legends are going to work? Roaming ones you catch > Reset if it sucks, kill it, beat E4, reset? But do the dogs come back after that?
The non-roamers are self-explanitory, however...what about Suicune. You meet him in the tower early on...so if you catch him and he sucks, do you reset and catch, or beat E4 to reset his stats?
Ugh x_x ...Also hoping we get the Latias/Latios event... I needs a Latias =/

 

[Mic_128]

Has anyone successfully used Wifi today? Tried a number of times today and nothing. Servers down or something?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Wifi will be down a lot for a while...new games flood their servers... I haven't even bothered, lol

 

[jokey665]

Does 1 AM count as "today"? Because I did some online trading around then without any problems, lol.

 

[NeverKnowsBest]

Yeah I got my Gengar today over Wi-Fi with a friend with ZERO problems.
