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

[UltiMario]

Actually its any time until you get to the seafoam islands

The birds don't show up until after you beat Blue IIRC

 

[Fuelbi]

Yes they do. I caught articuno to help deal with brock. I know for a fact that you need all the kanto badges to face blue, and Brocks was the only one I lacked to face him.

I win

 

[Samochan]

Just beat claire with lv 37-39 gengar and choice scarf lv 39 lucario, with one other poke as glass cannon. Hypnosis + shadow ball combo absolutely mauled her first 2 pokes till 2nd dragonair got a lucky shot in. Lucario swept that one, took some hydro pump from kingdra, switched to feraligatr and took down that sitrus berry, healed lucario and fainted, then lucario back to aura sphere kingdra twice for the win.

I admit tho, chuck was way harder, but that might be because of the lack of good pokes on my friend's soulsiver. =D

Lucario is so very cute when he follows you around. <3 They make very funny/adorable comments sometimes. But what am I supposed to do right when my poke drools with vacant expression over food if I scold it for stealing some happily with a musical note and when I don't scold, it takes too big of a piece of food and almost chokes on it. <_<

I laughed out loud tho when Feraligatr showed off it's agility to me lol.

I guess thats only Zapdos that does it then.

:V

I'm questioning why you're using something 4X weak to Rock against Brock, though.

 

[Fuelbi]

I needed an ice pokemon on my team and I was too lazy to train one from scratch to my desired level so I just got it and destroyed Brock with it.

I just hit my 200th hour on this game. If that isnt obsession, I dont know what is

 

[HotWings]

Wait... 200 hours and your just now and brock???

Oh and 200 hours is a lot but i used to have over 700+ on my pearl xD.

 

[Mewter]

I clocked over 700 hours on my Diamond version.
Most of it was over the summer of '07 though, right after the game came out and I really wasn't doing anything.

*Highfive Lv100*

 

[Fuelbi]

I beat brock a month ago. Id have 400 if it wasnt for that pesky school

 

[Samochan]

Booya! Lugia get!

Timid

HP: 22-23
Att: 9-13
Def: 27-28
Sp.att: 25-26
Sp.def: 24-25
Speed: 30

Shame speed wasn't 31 and hp could've been bit better. :/

Hah, gengar totally swept the league. Only trouble was that last dragonite with outrage and full restore spam, but it eventually fell to toxic and confusion lol. Choice scarf, specs and focus sash were in use, very useful. ^^

But apparently focus sash goes away once I use it like berries... and it saved automatically when I beat lance, pff. >_>; Oh well...

Final team was gengar 45lv, typhlosion 44lv, pidgeot 39lv, meganium 42lv, feralifatr 44lv and lucario 42lv.

*Highfive Lv100*

I maxed out my Diamond clock. *flex*

It was due to alot of breeding and trading.

 

[Yaya]

YEEAAAHHHHH!!

I beat Lance!

 

[Wavedash Master]

My question that I asked a while back in this thread got buried and searching is disabled right now, so I'll ask again.

Where can teach one of my pokemon Ice Punch? (It's not a TM anymore from what I understood) Thanks.

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

I can't ev train my level 100s, can I

Ice Punch is a Move Tutor move at the Battle Frontier. I think it costs 64BP, but don't quote me.

No, sorry. You can still give them Vitamins that will increase their stats in Wi-fi battles a little if they're not already maxed out on EVs, though.

 

[IsmaR]

@Tri - Right in front of the Battle Frontier(house in front of the Center you fly to). There are 3 move tutors who charge Battle Points for each move they teach, I believe Ice Punch is around 64 BP.

@Glyph - The best you could do is feed them friendship boosting berries and give them drugs, I think. :\

 

[Fuelbi]

I thought you could EV train them. I remember reading somewere that ifcyou get your EVs and since you cant level up anymore, your gonna have ti deposit your pokemon in your pc and take it out again for changes ti be made

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'm not sure what would happen with your level 100's if you removed all the EV's with the respective berries and then EV trained, but yeah that's what would be my best suggestion?

-Terywj

 

[Firus]

EVs don't actually go into your stats until you level up. So if you're already level 100, you can add EVs but it won't do anything to your stats.

 

[HotWings]

Yeah you can only get credit for your ev training once you level up. Only thing you can do now is give it drugs.

I would just suggest breeding whatever you want and ev training it from scratch because thats really all you can do now.

Sorry

 

[Night-san]

Ignor'd, as usual. <_<

Well, on the bright side, though I never found a flying Pika, I did get a Modest Surfchu. ;D Haven't checked its IVs yet (**** DS and Wii still won't connect to our router these days), but it's a start. ^^

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

Decided to go at the Elite 4 again before I start training to beat Red, and I figured out I can sweep most of the E4 with my Murkrow. I love it when I get an NFE that's actually decent, it makes me smile

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Wait. No Honchkrow?

I'm still trying to catch a good natured Lugia at the moment. I got Rash, Bashful, and Rash.

I think it's trying to taunt me.

-Terywj

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

For some reason when I started HeartGold I was thinking to myself "I want one NFE on my team because it would be interesting." And going through the game I finally caught this Murkrow in the Safari Zone and just decided not to evolve it. I personally always wanted a Murkrow, and seeing as I already have a 4th gen (Mamoswine) I decided to just leave it as it is.

Good luck with that Lugia. I should go get the Silver Wing myself, I honestly forgot all about it until now. Although in my original Gold version I never was able to make it through the Whirl Islands, so this is going to be interesting.

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

Aww, too bad about the level 100 thing. I found someone online who claimed to have found a way but it didn't work.

Off to breeding then!

 

[HotWings]

I got a calm nature lugia on my first try... i'll go check its iv's and think about tradeing it to you seeing as how im prob never going to use a lugia anyways. Um, the only thing i would need is either a lv.100 pokemon holding a flamethrower/ice beam. If you cant do that its fine.

 

[Night-san]

Anyone else ever have an egg give a yellow-gold flash as it hatches...? I've been hatching a ****load of Shroomish, and one egg did that.
No shiny, so I'm wondering if it's a glitch or what. o.o

 

[Wrath`]

Ultimario, wasn't there a special something for people with heartGold you were talking about pre release? What was it? cause I must have overlooked it.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

The Ho-Oh and Lugia figuirines that came with pre-ordering the game?

Yeah, I see that a lot.
Probably just the graphics being flashy.

 

[UltiMario]

SS has a really ****ty Lugia cutscene and HG has a beautiful cutscene for Ho-oh which beautifully and perfectly transfers right into the Ho-oh battle and its music.

Pretty much the most heartwarming part of the entire series IMO.

Trufax.

I watched the cutscene so many times while SRing for Ho-oh that I discovered that the time of day can change (the color of the sky) during the Kimono Girls' dance, and that closing the DS and then opening it will throw off the timing of the bells with the music. See for yourself!

 

[UltiMario]

OMG getting to see that cutscene like 40,000 times

I'm so jealous :<

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I am as well.

Never bothered with Youtubing the Lugia cutscene. Don't think I need to. Heheh.

[Kofu]

I plan to do a solo-Rattata run sometime in honor of Joey.

-Super Fang
-Dig
-Return

Screw Skarmory.

 

[Kintenbo]

Oh man it is happening! I recently defeated Red, I've got the full set of Kanto starters, and my Tyranitar is developing like a dream. (pulled of a +8 attack level up)

 

[WiyamMang]

Am I the only one who really would've appreciated the GB Sounds at the beginning of the game? Everything felt like nostalgic except for that one key feature: the choppy music.

 

[Firus]

Yeah, I don't see the point of getting GB Sounds after you beat the last gym leader. By that point you've already visited every single area except for the few post-Kanto areas.

If I ever get my AR to communicate with my computer again, I'll try and hack a GB Sounds into my HG before I start it (still at the "SRing for shiny starter" stage, which I haven't made any progress on in quite some time). It just seems silly that you can't use it until you've practically beaten the game, so the only nostalgia you get is from going back to areas you have no reason to revisit only to hear the music retro-fied, which is made even worse by the fact that the music sounds blatantly remixed from the updated version instead of ripped from the original as I had hoped it would -- although it's easier to tell that when listening to the music on my computer rather than in game.

I also wish you didn't have to turn it back on every time you start up the game.

 

[Night-san]

I liked the Lugia cutscene, personally. It felt epic-ish. ._. It feels like Lugia represents dark, while Ho-oh represents light in these games... Their battle music backs it up. xD

Incidentally, I hatched a few more eggs... they had variations with their flashes. A few flashed like that, a few did it less so, and a few just puked sparkled as they burst.

I guess it varies Pokemon from Pokemon.
