Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver Discussion

[Cortez]

So Lyra just rang me telling me she turned to her side during a walk with her Marill and saw it evolving, but after flying to New Bark Town to check it turns out she was lying.

I'm not going to accept this kind of bullshit tbh, fuck off and die Lyra you absolute skank.

It's not Lyra's fault, she's too adorable for the AI of the game to handle, that's all...

;-;

[Semi-colon e]

Can't set up wifi, and not playing Pokemon and haven't for ages until I evolve my Machoke, as I want Machamp for when I storm Team Rocket in Goldenrod.

I need to meet up with a mate who has a DS, but we just end up going to the pub and/or forgetting our DS's anyway. FUUUUUU.

Oh well, this is why Metroid Prime 2 has arrived when it did ;o

[SuperLink]

Currently: Annoyed.

I did everything Serebii said to do in order to get Blue's number, but I still can't get it. What gives? Not only that, but I called Brock last night to get him to go to the Dojo and he's not there? What gives x2!?

I was going to stack up all the Gym Leaders in the Dojo and fight them all at once, but I can't even be bothered to do that now. I'm going to fight a couple, get Rayquaza, and then fight the rest. Maybe Daisy will give me Blue's number on some other day :/

Next time use this magical site! You do need to snoop onto people profiles and spoilers and all that jazz.

I don't serebii too much just because. >.>

Anywho... Since Blue's number was brought up I better get MOOVING! A week of massages sounds like a chore... =_=

Pft, Serebii and Bulba both have their fair share of mess-ups, Serebii is still a great site for game help.

Still, darn! That means I have to wait until NEXT Sunday to rematch Blue! NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

EDIT: I get Rayquaza now I have like, nothing left to do. ._.

OMG he looks so cool following you!! x3

Mash B Lyra! For great justice!

You can't change the DS clock settings back to Sunday?

Also, according to That Other Wikimon, you have to massage a Pokemon with max happiness 7 times, then talk to her after the 7th massage to get the number.

Haaaaay guys. Decide my final party member for me!

I've realised that Pidgeot isn't going to do me much good, so I'm trying to think of another Flyer that isn't Flygon since I had one of those of Platinum.

Right now I'm thinking Altaria or Drifblim, since they're from types I don't have yet. As much as I'd love to use a Tropius I heard they kinda suck, which is a shame.

I'm also considering ditching Tyranitar 'cause I feel like I need a Fighting type to do away with Normal and Dark types easily (although if I had Drifblim, part Ghost, Dark wouldn't be as much of a problem), and Tyranitar dies so easily sometimes ._.

EDIT: Yeah I could set the clock back, but I'd feel a little lame doing that :/

Out of those 2 I'd say Drifblim would probably be the more useful of the 2, and yes, Tropius does suck unfortunately. Having it on your team also means you get less crippled by fighting types. I'd keep Tyranitar though, he is excellent if you can use him right.

Cheers, I'll look into getting a Drifloon and give my Tyranitar another chance.

In other news, has anyone else tried to take a photo with Latias as their party lead? Just look at its sprite from the front... it looks... all wrong ._.

The way the black and yellow eyes look... it makes her face look like.... MetaKnight.... ._.

Try it for yourself, I not lying.

LATIAS = METAKNIGHT.

I shat bricks.

EDIT: Ugh, that still leaves Dark types as a serious problem though. >.<

FUCKING BATTLE TOWER CHEATING BASTARD

A Fearow OHKO'd my entire team using only U-Turn, outspeeding Max Speed EV trained Weavile SOMEHOW, even a focus sash didn't help because my Ice Punch missed >_>

U-Turn OHKO'd my Gallade and Tyranitar as well.

Ffs, I hate the way the game REFUSES to let you win, because two of my team members have a double weakness to Fighting I've been running into Mach Punch Hitmontop and Hitmonchan SO OFTEN.

CHEATING BASTARDS JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING TOWER RIBBONS YOU BITCH

o.o... How'd ice Punch miss?

And if it attacked before a Max Speed Weavile... it's probably using a Choice Scarf... but how could it have taken out a Tyranitar? (Is the Tyranitar EV trained)?

My max atk. Tyranitar (which is also EV'd for speed and had no defense EV's/boosts) survived a 4x effective Brick Break from a Weavile, which has a higher attack stat than a Fearow. And the Fearow must've been holding a Choice Scarf, meaning no attack boosts for it.

EDIT: Ugh, that still leaves Dark types as a serious problem though. >.<

Silver Wind and a lot of luck?

My final projected quasi-competitive team of my oft-changing favourites that I'm currently putting together:

Magnezone

Floatzel

Vespiquen

Bellossom

Sableye

Nidoqueen

...and yes, I realize the sheer stupidity of including a sunny-beaming Bellossom and a Floatzel on the same team, but I love them all too much to particularly care. Tiers? Feh. I'm mostly gonna use 'em in the Battle Frontier anyway. Too many good items available there.

I don't see what you're talking about.I'm looking at it right now and don't see anything that vaguely resembles Metaknight.

Also, to be fair, most dark types suck. There are about 7 good dark types (Absol, Darkrai (Who you won't see in game), Honchrow, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Umbreon and Weavile (Who has kinda sucked since a certain Pokémon got bullet punch)) and about 6 good offensive dark moves, it's really not a type to be worried about.

Really? It can't have a choice scarf according to the database I'm looking at, however a Fearow with a +Speed nature and full EVs and IVs in speed can outspeed neutral speed nature Weaviles with full EVs in speed if it has a speed IV below 21 so it is perfectly possible.

Even with 100 Accuracy attacks can still miss, it's just incredibly rare >_>

Tyranitar is EV trained in Speed and Attack (and 4 EVs in HP), since U-Turn is Bug type it's super effective on Tyranitar ;_;

I hate Bastard Tower.

I'd need a screenshot or something to be able to point it out well T_T still, the yellow eyes just look wrong.

Karen always pwns me so badly though D: her Umbreon has glorious defense.

You're only allowed to call it the Bastard Tower if Palmer and Anabel weren't married when they conceived it.

Teach your Tyranitar stone edge, give it an attack boosting item and it will no longer give you any problems unless you keep missing and he gets a couple of double teams off.

Ouch, I'd imagine that would be a painful birth. XD

Just look at the yellow eyes in the middle of the black bits on her face!

IT'S METAKNIGHT.

Yeah it has Stone Edge, but when it comes to Karen Double Team is a constant problem, and Tyranitar's bad Speed will never get better ._.

And Anabel's so small too... xP

Unless Palmer was the one who gave birth.

Do you have anything with Roar on your team? Roar/Whirlwind really work wonders against Double Teamers.

[DarkOverord]

FUCKING GAME CORRUPTED AFTER 53 HOURS! GONNA RIP YOU A NEW ONE NINTENDO!

I'm actually close to crying. This can't be my fucking DS. If I could go from "7 hours and corrupted" to "53 hours and corrupted"

Want to know what I did? Turn it off because I messed up on teaching my Haunter a mover, only to load it back up and GAME CORRUPTED! ARGH!

Ikr!

Nope, but I might consider it if Karen keeps giving me trouble.

I can't believe this keeps happening to you >.<

I really hope you find the problem soon :S Playing it with the fear of it being corrupted at any second would be really stressful...

Really sorry to hear it

I'd actually thought I'd solved it, I got 7 times further than my other attempts, then out of the blur CORRUPTION ;o;

I get what you're saying now but it looks more like Latias' eyes to me than Metaknight.

This is very true, I'd reccomend Skarmory if you're going to get a whirlwinder, it also solves your flying Pokémon problem as well.

I know what this feels like, it happened to me on Platinum once, but multiple times, that must be horrible. Maybe this is that glitch that was rumoured a while back but they never did anything about it.

Skarmory works very well for this purpose. And I'm going to have to say Swampert is a great Roarer as well; it's decently bulky, and has only one weakness, and has decent attacking stats if you choose to use them.

Nintendo didn't do "nothing" about it, though.
