Prof. Oak's Lab: The Q&A Thread - USE THIS

[UltiMario]

Wob is like worse than butterfree in-game lol.

 

[Charmander]

Found a better version, full thing, no interruptions.

Im listening to it with earbuds
EDIT: I think Lavender town Is now one of my favorite pokemon themes :D

 

[Fuelbi]

Ok, maybe not wobb, but a Garchomp still doesn't make sense

And after listening to the Lavender Town song yet again, I did notice I got a slight tinge of a headache though, especially in the part where it sounds bubbly

But this is like the first time after hearing it a million times so I dunno

 

[Terywj [태리]]

What's wrong with your opinion on Garchomp being in the Battle Tower?

 

[Fuelbi]

I'm just saying, you'd think that GF would listen a bit more to the competitive nature of Pokemon and follow the tier lists

(and I only used Garchomp as an example because he's Uber and nothing else)

 

[Terywj [태리]]

First of all, Gamefreak doesn't give a crap about Smogon and competitive Pokemon. Secondly, the Battle Tower works were set before Garchomp was even banned, so what does it matter?

The Battle Tower simply excludes Legendary Pokemon for the in-game value.

 

[Pokemon Trainer1]

Could somebody help me? Whenever I try to start up my action replay code manager, it says runtime error. How do I fix this?

 

[Charmander]

I made my 8 year old sister listen to the song.....It didnt work, but maybe its because she was purposely making noise the ENTIRE TIME!

Remember this thread is for questions and answers alone -- if an attempt to answer a question turns into a small discussion, that's fine, but idle conversation needs to stay in The Snorlax Room. Aside from this not being the right place for it, posts like that tend to drown out legitimate questions.

Hm. My best suggestion is to uninstall it and try reinstalling it, in a different location if possible. Not sure if that'll fix it, but that's probably a good place to start.

 

[rockem7]

This question is more along the lines of the anime, but when a Pokemon uses Double Team, and then goes on to use an attack, such as say, thunderbolt, does the attack appear from all of images, or just the real one?

 

[Wrath`]

I hope I recalled this correctly, but I remember once when Ash was in some obscure town tournament that an opposing grass type Pokemon used Double Team and then Razor Leaf, it came from all of the images, but only the real leaves hit.

 

[UltiMario]

I recall it was something like a Skiploom in that episode, and X Pokemon ash used felt for which was the real leaves were coming from to counterattack.

How can I remember a Pokemon episode from like 8 years ago but not my own Cell phone number?

 

[Fuelbi]

I want to look up my SID, but I don't have a shiny to help me get the SID in my friend's Diamond

Is there any other way to get your SID or do I really have to be lucky?

 

[UltiMario]

You can use an AR code to determine it.

 

[Fuelbi]

I don't have an AR and the only person I know who could loan me one is out of the country on vacation until school starts

Any OTHER way? Or am I just going to have to get lucky?

 

[UltiMario]

You'll have to get lucky then

Or spare like $20-30 for an AR.

 

[PowerBomb]

Just get an AR, roach. They're very useful in HG/SS since you can clone, find out IVs/EVs, and quick hatch eggs.

 

[Wave⁂]

Question:

"Ability / Nature" or "Nature / Ability"?

 

[Metal~Mario]

Personal Preference.

I like Nature/Ability.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Question:

"Ability / Nature" or "Nature / Ability"?

I always thought the standard was "Ability / Nature".

 

[Fuelbi]

Are we seriously questioning the order of my title?

>.<

 

[Wave⁂]

To be fair, I changed mine.

Shoddy exports don't have the two next to each other, but Smogon's compact set-posting format goes:

Rattata @ Flame Orb | Guts
Adamant / 252 Atk

So I wasn't sure, so I just went with Ability first.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

It looks more natural that way, in my opinion.

Everyone in the PokeCenter needs to have that "Ability / Nature" title. That would be awesome.

 

[UltiMario]

I would but then the Disco Room would yell at me for changing it from this.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I would but then the Disco Room would yell at me for changing it from this.

Who cares about the Disco Room? PokeCenter custom titles are better.

 

[rockem7]

Does the Synchronize secondary ability work on the Interact-able Legendaries?

 

[Wrath`]

It looks more natural that way, in my opinion.

Everyone in the PokeCenter needs to have that "Ability / Nature" title. That would be awesome.

Couldn't Chill or Firus do this? Or do only Admins have this power.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Moderators and Premium Members have the ability to have a custom title.

 

[Wrath`]

Moderators and Premium Members have the ability to have a custom title.

Whoops, I didn't clarify, I think you can change the title of non Premium members, like how after premium runs out you still keep your title, but i didn't know if mods could change regular members titles or not, I know Admins can.

 

[Fuelbi]

I doubt QK or any other admin would allow us that unless you happen to be really close to him/her and you're well known

 

[RuNNing Riot]

I doubt QK or any other admin would allow us that unless you happen to be really close to him/her and you're well known

Or you ****ed the hell out of him/her and annoyed him/her into changing it. But nobody's crazy enough to do that!

Does Taunt last over switching? I remember facing Sir Bedevere on our server where he Taunted my Calderan and the effect persisted after I pulled him out a second time. Could have just been a server bug, or I'm on a wild goose chase.

 

[PowerBomb]

Taunt wears off after you switch. Must have been a bug.

EDIT: So I started a new game on a SoulSilver cart. I choose Cyndaquil as a starter and caught Bellsprout. Booted Team Rocket out of Slowpoke Well and am about to face Bugsy. I need a good Water-type and flyer. For the flyer, I'm going to get the Spearow from that one dude near Goldenrod.

Should I get a Slowpoke as a Water-type or should I use the Red Gyarados? Or should I skip it altogether and get a Nidoking and teach it Surf?

EDIT2: Should I also try to get a Hitmonlee/Top/Chan from the Karate Master?

 

[Riddle]

This is in-game. You don't need a Fire/Water/Grass core lol.

Use slowpoke though. Slowbro is da bess.

 

[PowerBomb]

Nah, I got my cousin to give me a Starmie, a Hitmontop, and an Aerodactyl.

 

[hichez50]

You could have gotten the lapras even though its stats and move pool are inferior to your other choices.

 

[PowerBomb]

*shrugs*

Maybe if I decide to restart and get Chikorita.

 

[Fuelbi]

Ok, so you guys know that the beta server in PO got an update that allows for the event moves on Raiku, Entei, Suicune, and Celebi to be used right?


Well, I still haven't downloaded the update and now I can't battle anymore. Somebody point me toward a link please?

 

[PowerBomb]

I know I asked this before, but I can't find the answer to it.

Is there any version of PokeSav that works with SS for Pokemon editing? I think roach said that Platinum worked, but I'm not sure.

Nah, I had to be an admisistrator. It works now.
