Seriously, what's the point then? Soft drink doesn't exactly become a struggle after a while, and it's not hard to down a whole glass relatively quick.

I'm working on my international Pokédex now that I have access to Nintendo WFC (the nursing home my mom is staying at has unsecured wi-fi). Today I got two French Pokémon: a Bibarel (Castorno) and Chatot (Pijako). I almost had a Spanish Burmy and a German Chikorita, too.
So if anyone wants to trade with me, now is your chance. BTW, I've forgotten how to procure a friend code in D/P/Pl/HG/SS. Can someone refresh my memory?

I swear Friday the 13th is lucky for me. Playing xbox this morning, and found 3 players with the gamertags : Squirtle xi, Bulbasaur xi, Charmander xi. I imediatly went into game chat, and start shouting OMG CHARMANDER STOP SPAMMMING FLAMTHROWER!!!! (And stuf) Then after a big fight about how my awsome Gengar Could rinse the shit out of his whole team single handedly, and how a heracross cant do shit against a gengar we became freinds. He also thought I sounded 17. Im 13.

Yay pokemon ! ! !

If you dont post this in 10 other topics you will die.

Also, Im thinking of changing my Gamertag from vS x PkMn KiNGz (PkMn = pokemon, not pumking or pikmin) to somthing eles pokemon related. PokemonChampion would fit, but its not the kinda thing I want. Any ideas ?

you know it's sad but true!!!

Turn one:

Heatran uses Fire Blast
Skarmory loses 99% HP,
Skarmory uses Spikes

Turn two?

Heatran uses Hidden Power Grass
Skarmory loses 1%
Skarmory faints

or

Heatran uses Hidden Power Grass
Starmie switches in
Starmie loses around 67.18% - 79.39%

or

Heatran uses Stealth Rock
Skarmory switches to random Pokemon, and can never switch back again.

Does anyone wanna play a Pokemon battle? My FC is 0088 4769 3601.

The point I think he was making was that at least you'll be able to get one layer of Spikes down, as opposed to none.

It's a very bad idea to use a whole team slot just to set up one layer of Spikes and nothing else, especially when the Pokemon is slow, but could live for an eternity. Skarmory can get up more than one layer easily in a nonlead slot. Skarmory is supposed to live a long time, and not be some suicide lead like Aerodactyl. And it's not like Spikes NEEDS to be used first thing once the battle starts. If Skarmory sees a lead Heatran, he needs to switch the hell out. It's better to have all six Pokemon in tact, instead of five Pokemon with only one layer of Spikes up, while the Pokemon that fainted was supposed to live for a long time. The teamslot would be completely wasted if the Spikes get Spun away.
It's another reason why I don't like Aerodactyl as a lead, or suicide leads in general. Taunt doesn't completely prevent Stealth Rock from happening, since Metagross or Swampert could just come in later and set it up, and once any entry hazards get Spun away, there's no putting them back up, unless you use a bulky Pokemon like Swampert, Metagross, or Heatran, who do make good recipients of Wish, to keep living.

Well using my completely legal and awsome methods I have just began playing pokemon yellow, and got to 8th gym on Gold in around 4hrs. Best thing about emulating all the GBC games? Turbo. It speeds up the game so much its brilliant. I also started agin on Diamond, compered to the others its so slow. . .

Does anyone even battle Pokemon here? I've been dying for a Wifi battle for ages.

I do very occasionally, but it's just too much hassle to set up my wifi, since I use a USB connector. I basically have to re-install the drivers and restart every time I want to use it, which is just too much bother most of the time. I basically only use it when they're giving event pokemon over WFC.

Same, althouhg I just got some new neiboughs (spelling?) and havent checked if they put security on their wireless. . .

Anyone got a Chimchar? I'll trade a Roselia with Leaf Storm with a Choice Specs for it.
I would also like a Tyrogue, I'll give off a Murkrow with Brave Bird.

I can get you both, but I'd have to breed.

I'd take just the choice specs for both. Not bothered about the Pokemon, I've got everything but Celebi and could just breed for the moves.

Have you checked the GTS (Or whatever its called now) for celibis? Pepole are probaly offering lv100 mewtwos or some shit like that but if you've got them all its worth a try. . .

Can't search unless you've seen one, though.

I'll just wait for the HG/SS event. Unless they dick us about and release a Pokewalker route or something once the Enigma Stone is done, it should be the next one.

Also, after getting stomped by verycoolguy, I'm in the mood for another battle. Anyone up for one?

Kepp battling over Wi Fi untill you find one, or ask on seribii for a battle with someone who has one so you can trade for one or somthing like that.

Pretty sure it only adds stuff you've seen in game, not on Wifi, to your Pokedex. Definitely doesn't add stuff seen in Battle Tower to it.

Oh right. . . Umm Well then I got no idea. You could repetadly mash A on every side of the shrine in Ilex Forest untill Celibi comes out. It could work. . .

What I did to get mine was to just ask on the Serebii.net wifi chatroom. There are generally some people willing to trade rare Pokemon, though you'll have to be willing to part with something quite valuable in most cases.

I'm fine to wait for the Wifi event.

I'm always afraid of getting a non-legit one when trading. I've been careful to make sure everything I have so far isn't hacked.

How do you actually get wi-fi pokemon? I got a special Darkari once, but that was from going to wollworths and mystery gifting from a thing. I also trade and got a awsome Gyradoes (But then I started agin, and had no other pokemon games). But how do you get Wi-Fi ones?

From the main menu, choose Mystery Gift, and then when it asks you where to receive from, choose "Nintendo WFC".

They change all the time, it's been about once a month recently, but it used to be less frequent. At the minute it's the Enigma Stone, that lets you fight Latias or Latios in Heart Gold or Soul Silver. You fight the one you can't normally get, so that's Latios in HG, and Latias in SS.

that's, in my opinion, one of the 2 only pokemon that are better AND exclusive to SS, latios and lugia, 2 great pokemon and only in SS, HG gets growlith which is awesome, but thats all im saying

You can get Lugia in Heart Gold and Ho-Oh in Soul Silver, though. You just fight them at the end of the game, rather than in the middle.

Pokemon colousem or Gale of darkness? Both are good, I aint got Gale of darkness anymore though. . .

You can't send or receive any non-legitimate Pokémon via the GTS.
I learned this by trial and error: I have a few Darkrai (all obtained via Action Replay) stored up and tried to trade one away the other day when it gave me an error message saying the Pokémon could not be offered for trade.

I can appreciate that, when I used to trade a lot, I'd always check their stats and ID etc, and their Pokeball if they were meant to be in a Cherish ball too. As long as you scout out their Pokemon before you go in for the trade, you'll normally be fine.

I have gotten a few hacked Pokemon before, but normally they were just shiny Pokemon, which you can normally palm off to someone else fairly easily.

I'm not too sure, but I think it is possible to do so. It all has to do with its coding. Let's say Articuno is can only be caught in the Seafoam Islands. If its information sees anything except Seafoam Islands, it is detected as a fake. There is more to it though. The ball that's used to catch the Pokemon, nicknames, and shininess. There is even more info due to combination of legal IVs and Gender. While most legendaries are known to be genderless, there is a coding to which it is Male or Female. This thread is more brief on the topic. I think checking on Shoddybattle just to find a legal combination of IVs can help, although I don't really look up to trading and battling with fakes and calling them legit.

im playing some leaf green and i am actually hapy with my team, i got a charmander, a mankey, a sperow, and a nidoran male, and a pikachu, i have 1 badge and i am about to go into mt. moon,
