Nice...Roselia is a good grass pokemon. Is it male or female? If it's male I think you can evolve it into a Gallade.

Pokerus (PKRS) virus gives your pokemon double the effort points. Let's say you want to train your Roselia in special attack. For every pokemon you battle that gives you special attack EVs (effort values), you'd gain double that. A Gastly gives you 1 special attack (IIRC) EV for everytime you defeat it, so a pokemon with pokerus would gain 2 Evs.

Roselia evolves into Roserade (with the Shiny Stone)
Kirala evolves into Gallade if it's male with the Dawn Stone.

Roserade is also my favorite of the pokemon I've played through this game. Had it in my team since level 17, all the way through. Great grass pokemon.

(my current team, after transfers: Roserade, Froslass, Flareon, Kygore, Manectric, Dialga)

Gaspar?



is that another name you put for a Gengar?

I sold my sooth bell by mistake. Is there a way to get new one?

I'm afraid you're going to have to try and trade for one. According to http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/925601/45858, it's available in only one location.

There's another possible way, which is to take it from Emerald/Ruby, have a pokemon hold it, and transfer it over via the Pal Park.

If you are still in need of one, I can trade you one, free of charge. LMK, thanks.

There is a girl you trade for her Gengar and his name is Gaspar...

Oh, must not have gotten to that part


I absolutely love my Gengar though

My shiny Roselia is a male...

Does anyone know what the greyed out shapes that appear under the pokemon picture when you look at the summary screen are for? They don't seem to do anything, but they are the same shapes that are on the poke watch application that helps you locate wild mobile legendary pokemon...

Thanks!

[QUOTE=Rick1962]My shiny Roselia is a male...

Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever caught a female Roselia, and I've played all the games since Yellow......

I just unwrapped Pearl and popped it in.

This is my first Pokémon adventure game, so wish me luck.

(My son got Diamond for his b-day a few days ago and he's got a head start on me... but he's owned and beat Emerald and Saphire, so he can be my go to guy if I get stuck! )

I picked the Chimchar and called him "Monkeybum." The kids go a kick out of that.

Off to find the Red Gyrados (or whatever its called).

I received a shiny Palika over the GTS from someone in Japan. Didn't even realize it until my son pointed it out. I would love to catch a red Gyrados, but I have never ran across a shiny one in all my time playing this game.

I'm really getting back into this one. Hopefully they open up some of the event Pokemon for the US.

Good luck. I started Pearl, which is my first Pokemon game and first RPG since the Bard's Tale, yesterday. I'm only about 90 minutes in but it's pretty fun. I'm definitely looking forward to getting back to it tonight.

I chose Turtwig and named him Crush K.O., he's a level 10 already.

Ive been playing Pokemon fire red version and just about to go to the elite four or whatever they are called here. My pokemon here are almost identical to what I had in Diamond. I dont know why I prefer the water type so much. But my Blastoise is pretty unstoppable and cant wait to transfer him over to my Diamond. Plus my Zapdos and Articuno.

I'm a slow learner, but I think I'm doing okay. I got my rear end handed to me by the first gym leader (Roark) but went and leveled up a bit and went back the next day.

I'm 5 hours into it and have evolved Chimchar -> Monferno and Shinx -> Luxio and am on the verge of evolving Geodude and Zubat.

I finally turned off the attack animations to get things to go quicker.

My son has two badges and fought exclusively with the Turtwig which he's evolved into the one with the tree and the spikes (sorry, I don't remember names). Now he's giving the other critters some fight time.

Alrighty... I'm off to find a bike!

Nintendo is banning legendaries form GTS. I also heard they might be banning hacked pokemon also. My only question is why didn't they do that to beginning with.

Sounds like I've been doing the same thing as your son. I've been battling pretty much exclusively with Tutwig. I'm six hours in and a level 24. I think I leveled up too high in the caves. I built him up to level 20 before taking on the Gym Trainer. Smoked his ass. I'm having no problems disposing of any opponent thus far. Most are only taking 1-2 hits from my evolved Turtwig.

My other Pokemon are all around level 10-11, so they aren't terrible, but they definitely need a few more levels. I just haven't liked any of the Pokemon I've found thus far.

Didn't know you could turn off the animations. I'm definitely going to have to do that.

I've been playing through Emerald to get more pokemon to take over to Diamond. Not too far in yet, but at least (once I play through this) will be able to take over the last of the starters from Emerald/Ruby that I don't already have in Diamond.

uh, I need help with the diamond game if anyone is willing. I forgot where your suposed to met with the team glatica leader after you beat him in Veilstone city. It say's where you first met, but I can't recall where that was...

Alright, a few noob questions:

- Money: should I be saving it for something expensive down the line? or just spend it as I see fit on healers and poke balls?

- UKOWNs: should I be collecting them all? It is only one entry in the Pokedex but there are obviously a ton of variants. I've got about 10 so far.

- Eggs: Someone gave me one. What do I do with it? Carry it until it hatches? Use a special item on it?

- Contests: is there a point to these? I can't find the third gym leader to get my badge. Is it contest related?

- Starting Pokemon: is there a way to find these in the wild? I started with Turtwig but was hoping to find a Chimchar and the third one.

I'd probably save a good bit to the end right before you beat the final bosses.

you want to get them all. It opens up a tunnel in a cave that is to your benefit

its a rare pokemon. Just put it in one of your slots and keep riding around on your bike until it hatches


yes, and no. for most peoples purposes, it is pretty useless



I actually cheated by using 2 copies of the game, and 2 DS consoles. start a new game, pick a starter pokemon, trade it to the other save file for anything. Start over. rinse and repeat

Hmm... I wonder if you can just do that with different save files on the same cartridge.

Thanks for the help.

no problem

i don't think you can on the same cart, considering you can only have one save file per cart

Take advantage of the Global Trading Center in Jubilife City. Once you see a Pokemon you can trade for it here. Simply take an extra one you have and upload it and request a starter in return. Give it a day and someone will trade with you. I've added at least fifty different Pokemon to my game this way.

You should be able to see the other ones by battling other trainers.
