    So are there actually 493 Pokemon in the game? Im pretty early in but I haven't really seen all that many...

    You only get to see 150 of them before beating the E4. When you get the national Pokedex, that's when the fun starts.

    And is Floatzel really that bad?

    So I take it there are 493 of them?

    As he said, yes. But you won't be getting all of them.

    A handful are available through NIntendo events, some you have to transfer from GBA games/trade online.

    Well, when I say "you won't be getting them all", I mean through normal methods. I don't think the E4 door trick is a normal method.

    Just saying. Don't expect to run into the other 300+ pokemon in the grass as soon as you get the National Dex.

    So wait. How many are there if you include those ones? Like, how many pokes are there total?

    Oh and, about getting the national dex, some of the pokemon I have caught/seen aren't from Sinnoh, like, I traded for them and some are Johto pokes, some are Kanto pokes, ect ect, will these still count towards my 150? If not, I feel like I've missed alot. I'm on my way to Victory Road right now, only having seen 130 or so pokes, where do I need to backtrack to?

    I think the only pokemon that you will never see another trainer use is Unown. The Elite 4 will fill in a ton that you're probably missing.

    So, are the pokes you can't use in the battle tower the typically agreed-on 'these aren't legendaries' set?

    Because if that's true, Latios isn't on the list.

    There's 493 total. There's... uh... I think 9 event pokemon, so 484 non-event pokemon. Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus... did I forget any?

    Pokemon not in the Sinnoh dex don't count towards getting the national dex. Their entries won't even be visible until you get the national dex. On the bright side you only need the "seen" entries for the Sinnoh 150 to do it, not actually get their data.

    The battle tower banned list is more lenient than most real lists. It only bans event pokemon and the big, huge, scary legends. And Phione.

    If you fight the trainers in the ghost gym, you'll see a Drifloon. However, most people feel a sense of shame in choosing the wrong answer to the gym's math problems, so they don't do that.

    Would it also be a good idea for one thread to be simply for listing what you have to trade and what you can offer? If everyone had one post and kept editing that one post, it might be a bit easier to find people who need what you have.

    New thread's OP should mention Metalkid's new installments. You put your friend code in and it will give you a list of other FCs of people looking for a battle. Take that Nintendo!

    There is also a section where you can specifically look for IV battles.

    I like this idea.

    That way, people aren't stuck posting every page offering their unwanted spawn or constantly asking for the same thing over and over.

    No I figured you'd go for a Psycho Cut so I switched to Milotic and it got a critical hit to the face and then immediately burned. D:
