    Wait, is the Shiny Pichu at Gamestop too with Jirachi? Or what's going on with that?

    I've come to the conclusion that the Kingdra I worked kinda hard on must have abysmal IVs. It's modest, I EV trained it for maximum special attk and spc. defense, leftovers in speed, and it sucks. It can't hurt a flygon.

    So ... I guess later on I'll retry it, but not now.

    On the other hand, this Vulpix is shaping up nicely. Basic sweeper (I might make a disrupting Ninetails later), Nasty Plot - Energy Ball - Extrasensory - Fire <something>. Took a goddamn long time to breed on those moves.

    What in the world kind of EVs did you give that Kingdra? half an ice beam should destroy a Flygon.

    So if I got Pichu from Gamestop, can I get another off WiFi? Or is it the same Wonder Card, I suppose?

    I need to start breeding the team I'll be running with through HG. Growlithe was going to be a no-brainer, but since it gets Morning Sun as an egg move in HGSS I'll have to consider whether it's worth shipping all my breeding materials over there and making it in that game, or just forget about it. It wouldn't be such a big deal but having a healing move is really handy in a playthrough, and it would let me use Flare Blitz more frequently.

    Others to be included on my team so far are Beldum and Ralts (Gallade). I'll still need a good Water-type and an Ice-type, maybe Mamoswine or Weavile. Anyone got some great suggestions?

    So in order to get the national dex in Platinum I have to go to a room on the right in the mansion but there is a maid blocking it. How do I get past her?

    EDIT: Nevermind I found the book. Still is it possible to get past the rightmost maid?

    Also, are we actually doing any battleing in this thread?

    That maid will challenge you to beat a bunch of clefairy's in a set amount of moves (5 in 6 turns or something like that) if you do it then she will fight you with a Blissey that's holding a Rare Candy.
    That's all. This is Platinum only. There aren't any hidden rooms there or anything.
    At least nothing that anyones found, and I imagine people have looked pretty closely.

    What would cause Pal Park to freeze.

    I have a legit copy of Fire Red and transfered over:

    Mewtwo, the three birds, butterfree, and exeggutor.

    I tried it three times and it didn't work and I deposited all of my pokemon except for one and it worked.

    Weird.

    Well battling the maid in Platinum is more than you could do in D/P. In those games she just told you to go away and that nothing was behind the door.

    Isn't playing the slots the only way to get the TM for Explosion? I traded for my Explosion TM. It's too much of a pain to play those slots.


    Actually, it's funny you mention that, because I could never get it in Diamond, and when I recently started playing Platnium again (having forgotten how much I hate the slots) I got Explosion first go.

    You can only get it once, correct?

    I suck at slots so you're a better man than I. Seeing as you managed to get it, maybe you can test whether you can get another one by doing it again?

    Oh god no (no offence), I can't stand the Clefairy music or the bonus round in general, and have since moved to the "beat those two old people near the mansion for their money so I can just buy coins" strategy.

    My DS Lite doesn't like my wireless network and for whatever reason has decided that it should not connect even though everything is in order, ports are open for the DS, etc. Not a big deal, I have a WiFi connector.

    What is a big deal is that the DS won't connect to the connector at all. I never had this problem with my Phat, but the Lite basically picks up the connector when it's testing the connection, connects, goes green, stays green, and then inexplicably turns red and I get the message that the connection failed. The error is 52203, but Nintendo hasn't provided any help. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'm thinking I just turn the connector into a wifi hub rather than a NWFC connector and see if I can get on that way.

    Thanks a bunch, Chen! Also, I realize I ought to ask for Aron, Cranidos, Stunky, Lunatone, Zangoose, Surskit and/or Masquerain as trades or tradebacks as well. I hate to be such a bother... anything you need or want in return?
