Obligatory Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum thread

[Dr. Wily II]

O...K...
That was... LOL stuff...

Throughout the event there were announcements through the Nintendo World Store speakers NOT to download any Mystery Gifts as they will CORRUPT your game.

Was this talking about it in general, or with respect to the Shiny Gengar?

[STM]

Just to the shiny gengar.

[Dr. Wily II]

Phew, that scared me for a bit.
...
...
Then again, Mystery Gift never happens here...

[Dr. Wily II]

Ok, a question for those that played the Japanese version (or those that were really quick in the English version... )...

I need a confirmation.
Can you get BOTH the Armour Fossil and the Skull Fossil while digging in the Underground?
Also, state your Trainer ID number as well.

[Sparky]

Serebii says you can, but so far I've only been finding Armor Fossils.

[Dr. Wily II]

What's your Trainer ID number then?

Posted on: March 29, 2009, 00:04:16Nevermind, my rage has been confirmed.

Trainer ID that's even (ends with 0/2/4/6/8) = Armor Fossil
Trainer ID that's odd (ends with 1/3/5/7/9) = Skull Fossil

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I HAVE PEARL ALREADY DARNIT, WHY MUST YOU GIVE ME AN EVEN ID IN PLATINUM!?

[VixyNyan]

I'll give you the Skull Fossil if I find it. ^^

[Dr. Wily II]

Thanks Vixy~
Though the next obstacle for me is to log on into WiFi...

WHICH WILL NEVER BE SOLVED!

[Rad Lionheart]

Platinum is much different from Diamond and Pearl.
I didn't expect so much variations. o_o

[STM]

I'm not looking forward to going through Victory Road. The encounter rates are annoyingly high in Mt. Coronet and Victory Road. Yeah, I could just buy repels...

[Dr. Wily II]

But, but... EV Training...

Platinum is much different from Diamond and Pearl.

I still prefered Emerald, at least you can get BOTH fossils from the 3rd generation...
UNLIKE IN THE 4TH GENERATION *rant, [sonic slicer], moan, you get the picture*

[Tickle Buffalo]

Who on earth would EV train on Victory Road?


PS 38 skull fossils over here oh ho ho.

I don't know, some grinder that likes grinding out?

And, darn you.

[Tickle Buffalo]

Grinding on VR sucks. You should grind somewhere with lower level pokemon if you want EVs, or somewhere with higher ones if you want experience. Efficiency!

[STM]

Iron Island for Special Defense, I believe.

Just beware of exploding Graveler.

[Rad Lionheart]

I found out that I'm living in the 1st generation still.
I caught a Magikarp and now I have a Gyarados.
Just like old times, good times, good times.

[Sparky]

In terms of EV grinding, the best place for Special Attack is that little pond in Resort Area. Nothing but Golducks and Psyducks if you do nothing but Surf.

And although wondering why they axed Haunter in Old Chateau at first, it turns out that's why Gengar's slightly more common. And I'm so very glad Dusclops can now be found without PokeRadar!

I wonder where's a good place for Speed EV's, though...

[Tickle Buffalo]

That fisherman with the 6 Magikarps west of Eterna City. Or you can try old rod fishing in a lot of places, I guess, but that requires a little more attention, and the old rod sucks anyway. Takes like 4 tries to get something.

[Rad Lionheart]

You people and your silly EV Training.

[Tickle Buffalo]

My Gyarados could totally beat up your Gyarados. We'll see who's laughing when your Gyarados is crying and broken and asking why you didn't properly train it after HEATED GYARADOS COMBAT.

[Rad Lionheart]

I'd like to see you try beating up my Gyarados if I don't get Wi-Fi out here.
Also really, I only mentioned how silly the EV Training was (Again) to see if it would rile anyone up like last time.
Cause that was fun starting a heated discussion.

I'm sure your Gyarados is also of a higher level than mine, as mine is still a freshling.

[Tickle Buffalo]

Yeah, you claim you're trying to get reactions, but we all know the real reason you act like this. Deep down, deep deep down, you're ashamed that you're not enough of a man to EV train. You're trying to hide it, even from yourself, but we all know. We all know.



We all know.

[Rad Lionheart]

What is a man?

[Tickle Buffalo]

A miserable pile of pokemon training skills.

[Rad Lionheart]

Yeah, I have no pokemon training skills.
I just let my pokemon defeat whatever pops up outta the grass, or whatever the trainer I'm facing decides to throw out.
No careful selection for me.
