Muk. So I evolved my Sentret into a Furret for HM slaving and caught a Gastly.

I then proceed to soft reset the game to go to the Pokewalker menu without saving.

It seems like all luck based parts of the game happen more often. Multiple people here have found a shiny and another has seen more crits than usual.

Anybody else experiencing stuff like this?
My Pokemon caught the Pokerus (if you haven't seen from the Gold/HeartGold Dual Play thread):



I've also been getting a lot of crits and freezes. :/

Lol clearly ;D

You usually use two different pokemon in order to get egg moves. (ie I got my electivire to learn fire punch, ice punch, and CC thanks to my female electabuzz breeding with a male machoke with those moves after my male machoke's mother breed with a male hitmonchan.)

The general Battle music in this game is much better compared to the others. Leaders and Executives, I don't like as much.

When you get to Kanto you'll change your mind about Leaders immediately.

IMMEDIATELY.

SB, where did you get lanturn?

I found out you can catch Steelix in the wild but I think I'm going to pass. I'm having a hard enough time catching my eevee up to the rest of the team. It looked like Steelix's wild level was 23 but I might have just been tired, if it's 27 I might give it a shot.

Current team, Feraligatr, Togetic, Ampharos and Eevee.

I caught it as Chinchou in New Bark Town using the Good Rod you get in Olivine; I cut straight through Ecruteak and went to get the Rod immediately lolol.

And yeah, the Gym Leader music in Kanto is pretty epic (just beat Lt.Surge ... I mukking hate Double Team :mad:). I think the Kanto wild encounter music is the best though, IMO.

Current Team:

Lvl 39 Feraligatr (Alyssa)
Lvl 40 Heracross (Patricia)
Lvl 40 Lanturn (Proton)
Lvl 40 Xatu (Poppy)
Lvl 41 Misdreavus (Staples)
Lvl 40 Piloswine (Zook)

For some reason whenever it looks like I'm about to OHKO my opponent, he usually survives by 1 hp :mad:

Right now I'm busting my balls to defeat the elite four... yeah, the member with dark types keeps defeating me. Any advice for me?

On Route 32 , you get the Old Rod.

Now walk back to route 31. There is a 5% chance you'll hook a Poliwag.

Keep on trying.

REVIVES ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND
And lots of healing items.

You also better have an electric move. If you don't you're screwed.

Get a Starmie, level it up, play the coin game for forever, get Tbolt and Ice Beam, then sweep and win :D.

I personally prefer Quagsire for a water Pokemon over Poliwrath/Toad, its so much easier to get and so much more awesome :3

IMO

I like Poliwrath more. But I realized that I'll either need a separate user of Surf, or a Pokemon on the team that can use Surf and isn't Water-type. Suggestions?

Hey Tery, you'd kind of need another surfer for the time being, but once you get access to the Safari Zone get yourself a Rhyhorn for Surf. Because it just makes no sense. :3

You finally got it, Terywj?

Move deleter.....

No idea where he lives in HGSS.

@Terywj: Tons of Normal types learn Surf. Give them a try.

I don't have the game yet.

@Metal~Mario: It would have to be a special-based Normal-type, and that means I'd have to sacrifice Ursaring.

Typhlosion / Ampharos / Poliwrath / Crobat / ___ / ___

I wanted Ursaring, but I dunno. Also how needable is Flash and Rock Smash?

I beat Lance using a combination of Lanturn's awesome defenses, Discharge's paralysis and Pilowsine's Ice Shard (and some Gatr Ice Fang).

And lots of revives.

So try something like that?

Flash is lol; you don't need it for anything in the main game. Just Dark Cave and that other cave in Kanto near the Power Plant (I'm guessing).

Rock Smash is necessary in SOME places, but it's mostly just for items, and is equally (if not a bit less) unnecessary.

This game made me realize three things...
- ExtremeSpeed Dragonite sounds cool
- Kingler needs to be better >_>
- Giratina's orb should be tradable..

I picked Giratina with the Arceus event just because of that.. not that I care, he is the coolest <_>

Oh yeah, did anyone do the trade quests? I did just to do it, and man a nickname threw me off.
Onix/Rocky okay, Machop/Muscle, okay, Voltorb...Billy.. >_>

I'm currently training.
Here's my party so far:
Bzrt (Weedle) Level 3
Kaepora (Hoothoot) Level 3
Furray (Sentret) Level 4

I'm getting them all to around level 10 and then continuing to Routes 30/31
