    Help with WiFi

    Yeah - I saw this post last night & asked El if you were still having trouble, but he was idle on irc for the rest of the night. Do you still need help?

    New Member Introduction Thread

    *clickys* the guy's Profile page, discovers he's older than she is, *gasps*. Wow :). Congratulations for getting into Pokemon as an adult. Do you get much stick for it? I'm lucky, in that I'm all-but-married to a geek of computing and metalwork, and my best friends are gamers. But some of my...

    DPPt/HGSS Items & Berries Wanted / For Trade

    If you have spare Hitmonchan with the punches to get rid of, I'll happily take one off your hands :). I can also give you a Treecko as I restarted Emerald until I got a female starter BUT you'll have to wait a few days for me to finish the main game so I can migrate Pokemon over from my GBA...

    What is normally your registered item?

    I think the L and R triggers are used to switch menus & things like that... but not in my game, because I use the L=A button set. This worked much better in the GBA games, allowing you to play one-handed. In D/P it's not possible to play with only one hand unless you leave the DS resting on a...

    Crazy Japanese Traders

    Gah! The same thing happened to me when I brought my Buizel over from my Japanese Diamond to my English Pearl. Suddenly, it went from being called ブイゼル to being called FLOATZEL. Argh! I hate the all-capital names! Fortunately, in this case, my character on the other cartridge was the...

    Action Replay/Gamesharking Poke'mon; What's your opinion?

    I'm not against cheating in games, as long as it only affects the person doing the cheating. So it's absolutely fine, imo, for a person to use a cheat code for things like infinite lives in a one-player adventure game. Generally speaking, a person who's using an "infinite lives" cheat is doing...

    Most used Poketch App?

    I know these posts are ancient, but I'm a boring old fart :P and just wanted to say that they're completely different meanings and pronunciations :P. Pedometer is from the words "pedo" and "meter", meaning a "foot" or step counter; and the American spelling pedophile is from the words "paedo"...

    What's your opinion on Diamond/Pearl's music?

    Heh, yes - I was thinking of a ringtone too. I may try it. The one piece of music in the game that I really don't like is the intro music when you switch on the DS with Diamond or Pearl in. It's very sinister, and in an unusual key - if it wasn't so long since I'd done music theory, I'd know...

    When can I get rid of Defog?

    So, I'm starting to think about permanent movesets for my team. (Been training the same 5 Pokemon together for 20+ levels, which is almost unheard of for me - I'm not usually this organised or decisive!). And I'm using the Move Deleter to remove the HMs that aren't actually useful in combat...

    The Realm of Pixeity

    I just looked over the entire thread. Now, I don't usually comment on artwork unless I have something constructive to say, because I myself prefer to hear actual feedback rather than 25 comments of "wow, awesome!" - and I don't really know enough about art to say anything constructive. But...

    Differences between 3rd & 4th gen

    Niiice ;). Another move that's changed power is HM02 Fly, which has increased in power from 70 in the GBA games to 90 in Diamond & Pearl. Something odd I discovered over the past couple of days is that Surf now behaves like Earthquake in a Double Battle, and hits not only your two opponents...

    The Glitch Topic

    Various other things fix it too - I know for certain that if you've ever linked your Ruby or Sapphire to a download station in a shop, you'll have received the berry program fix. I remember specifically doing that when I was in the US to buy Colosseum... but I can't remember if I linked up just...

    The Random PokePoll Topic (61): Still watch the Anime?

    I'm catching up with some old, old posts in this thread because I missed voting for my favourite Hitmon and I'm annoyed about that :P. (Hitmontop all the way!). I feel like that about just about all the regular humans in the anime :). My favourite episodes are the ones like "A Hot Water...

    The Out of Context Thread!

    LOL! :D What was the actual context? I mean, what do you want to use your other hand for?

    Mod/admin Hurt and heal!

    *snickers* I take it the rules for this are pretty freeform? (I'd always thought "Hurt and Heal" meant you had to hurt one thing and heal another each turn).

    Games you wish were more well known.

    I love Okami. It took an age to be released in Europe, and by the time it limped out here, Clover Studio had been disbanded - due to poor sales :-\. Well, if you don't release the bloody game, how do you expect anyone to buy it >:(? Most of my obscure games are rhythm action/music games, and...

    PBR Custom Trainer Appearances and Catchphrases

    Of course, I don't have the game yet (tempted as I was to buy it + a North American Wii to play it on while I was in Canada... ::) ). I'm glad for the warning that I need to think of 6 catchphrases. My ability to think up custom catchphrases in a hurry is legendarily appalling (hence why I...

    Need Help!

    Out of interest (because I'm just getting to that part of the game)... why do you say you should have gone there earlier? Do you mean it would have been easier with lower level pkmn, or it's a good place to level up, or...?

    Characteristics

    Huh. I thought it was actually going to be useful, but that isn't, particularly - you still have to do all the faffing about with an IV/DV calculator :-\. The only difference is that you can be certain what your highest IV is. *disappointed now*. Thanks for the explanation, anyway. I guess I'll...

    feebas in pokemon sapphire??

    I recommend that you read the catching Feebas/Milotic guide by johanass at Gamefaqs: link. He explains that it is a good idea to use the Old Rod, as it only catches Magikarps and Feebas - which saves you a lot of time. He also explains how you use a Pokemon with Surf to fish every single square...
