    The Battle Factory is fun as long as you don't care about your win streak.

    Does anyone else love the battle factory? Its an awesome way to try out new 'mons. It sort of sucks though if your opponent gets a team which can stomp your rented pokemon. One of the trainers just said "I'm the main character, it's impossible for me to lose!" which gave me a laugh.

    Oh man I am all about the Battle Factory. That place is awesome.
    I spent a lot more time there in Emerald than I did in Platinum, but that's only because I had a lot more time on my hands, then.

    The Battle Factory fucking sucks in the fourth gen. In Emerald it was good, just not anymore.

    Bleh, after getting mauled yet again I'm trying out the Battle Tower. I have revised my opinion and the Battle Factory is outright evil.

    Have you tried the Honey trees? Thats where they appear.

    In other news, the Battle Tower won't let me do more than 7 consecutive battles. What the hell, I'm giving up on the Battle Frontier for now.

    Honestly I wasn't interested in messing around with 1% drop chance thing

    Although apparently I already had one in my pokedex...? Or something. I dunno, I could've sworn it was what I was missing. It's all good, though.

    National dex, hoo!

    Ah, well thats good. Are you on Platinum, if so have fun chasing the roaming legendaries? Its pretty damn horrible trying to do it.

    That Shaymin seems decent, although I'm abviously no expert. If you won't be using it often it seems like a keeper.

    INNS, you probably saw a trainer using one, hence it being in your Pokedex. If you fight every trainer in the game, you end up with a full 'seen' Pokedex, anyhow. You just don't own them all.

    If you wanted one, I'm sure someone could just breed you one and pass it over. I'd offer, but all my breeding stuff is on Diamond, and all my battling stuff is on Platinum, and that includes mah SNORRRRLAAAAAAAAAX.

    Evolve it at level 1, and make sure you trade it to someone who has platinum. It will learn Bullet Punch this way. Other good moves include U - Turn, Brick Break or Superpower, and Pursuit or Quick Attack.

    So does anyone have any experience with Shoddy Battle?
    a) Is it easy/hard to set up?
    b) Are the people who use it quality, or your typical internet scumbag morons (as opposed to the people on PA)?

    Hi guys, it's been a while since I posted, but I recently picked up Platinum. I also have FireRed, and so I've been trying to catch a Growlite (on Platinum), and I haven't had any luck.

    I have FireRed inserted, and I'm on Route 201/202 in Platinum. Is there something I'm missing that is preventing me from finding Growlithe in this location, is this just the wrong location, or something else?

    Anyways, thanks in advance if one of you can help me with this. :)

    Oh, is that required for finding him? I only just started my playthrough on Platinum, so I don't have access to either of those yet. I just remember finding Growlithe in my copy of Pearl before, but couldn't remember when/how I did. Thanks for the quick reply.

    If you'd like a Growlithe, someone here can probably hook you up. If you're on later, say 11PM EST, I can hook you up with one.

    It's an easy java based program. The chat room goes all over, but in games most people don't really say much at all besides like 'gg' which I never say because it's meaningless.

    When I played Magic a long time ago, I always found "gg" incredibly rude, because people always said it before they won the game, or condescendingly, or in a game that decided by luck and was anything but good.
