    so is the substitute TM supposed to be in the basement floor of twist mountain where the ice rock thing (presumably for glaceon) is?

    because all I found down there was flash cannon, TM91

    edit: or am I retarded and the winter only area is elsewhere in this shithole

    edit2: nevermind, found it

    So, is the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection not working for anybody else? Maybe I cant use my phone as a mobile hotspot and connect to Nintendo's servers? My DS is connecting to my phone, but I cant connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi connect thing (Ive tried in both Pokemon White and Mario Kart DS).

    EDIT: Just used my home network and it worked. Shitty, as I really dont want my network to be set to WEP...

    Bringing this back from a page ago but were you getting the 61020 error too? I've been trying to connect using my 3DS and Lite and despite telling me there's a connection I wasn't able to connect to WFC. Tried a half dozen locations but all no go. I'm guess I should just bite the bullet and get a router?

    Also, Cover or Plume fossil? I don't really have a decent water type yet.

    That was one of the errors I was getting. It also seems my game doesnt like to connect to my wifi network at times, or maybe some things are just local wifi (which would be really dumb, but whatever)?

    I also just bought a USB Wifi dongle which will hopefully work with my DS off Amazon. It ended up costing me about $2.50 after shipping, largely because I forgot I had some money left from an Amazon gift card.

    Since I'm blissfully ignorant of all the new Pokémon of this generation, I got a question about one I recently caught.
    Litwick? The Ghost/Fire type that looks like a melting candle. I'm pretty happy with the team I have now, but I'm considering giving that one a go. I'm just wondering if it's a Pokémon that'll turn out to be worth the effort. Also, since this thing seems to be something like this game's Ghastly, I'd like to know if any of its evolutions (assuming it evolves in the first place) only happen by trading.

    if you lead with a synchronize pokemon, it increases the chances of wild pokemon being the same nature as them, which helps for finding specific dittos

    edit: to the above, yes litwick eventually evolves into a sp.atk powerhouse, and you need a dusk stone for the final form iirc

    Litwick doesn't need a trade evolution, but it does require a Dusk Stone to evolve into its final form.

    yes, litwick eventually becomes very strong

    it evolves at level 41, and then again with a Duskstone

    the level 41 evolution has acceptably mediocre stats, but because stone evolvers lose access to most of their preevolution's moveset, it's kind of tricky to get a good set of moves

    luckily, it learns acceptable moves at fairly low levels (will o wisp, flame burst, hex (which has 50 power most of the time, but doubles in power when used on a pokemon with a status effect such as Burn), especially if you get the shadow ball TM at the relic castle

    its final evolution's stats are really great

    Anyone got a spare Vulaby or Mandibuzz to trade? Stupid GTS doesn't recognize Battle Subway Pokemon as "seen", and it's the only non-legendary I need to complete the Unova dex.

    I can trade any of the new starters (though I have a Tepig all ready to go), a Modest Ditto, Solosis, or Venipede...or really anything else from the Unova dex you need, I'd just have to breed it.

    The Dittos are lvl. 50+, so I imagine not. They're also exceedingly rare. I usually use a Synchronizer first in my party with a Smoke Ball, switch to Karp, switch to Haxorus, False Swipe, switch to Lilligant, Sleep Powder, throw ball.
    that's a lot of switching. i've been running fainted synchroniser in slot 1 with karp holding smoke ball, splash then switch to bisharp who runs both swipe and thunder wave. gonna switch bisharp for a breloom or parasect for sporeswiping soon, though.

    although i'm not sure if fainted synchronisers still work this gen. can anyone confirm?

    So my friends and I were talking the other day about DW abilities. They are breedable with a female (40% chance), right? Which means that realistically, we could pick any Eeveelution and if its female, breed it and get all of the Eeveelutions with their DW abilities.

    Does anyone see any issues with this plan?

    so I finally got around to finishing EV training my weezing. if I have rest without sleep talk, would it be wise to give him a chesto berry so he can wake back up and continue doing whatever?

    or should I just give him leftovers and try to tank through it, or rocky helmet as an added deterrent to attacking? problem with the berry route is I can only do that once, so second time around he either has to risk a full rest, or go out fighting/exploding

    Yeah, that just donned on me after I posted that. Thanks for clearing that up though. Much appreciated!

    That's the issue. All DW Eeveelutions are male. Or Nintendo is going to change it up this time which I doubt.

    I mainly wanted to know since I can only have one, and I highly doubt that I will spend all that much time playing other people online. Also, since this is basically my first foray into the world of Pokemon since Red/Blue I have no idea what Im doing. I kinda miss just grabbing shit and fighting them, granted thats basically what Im doing now, but I know there is more out there and I can kinda see it, I just dont know what it all means.

    The ticket to get Victini will probably not be available later, so if you feel you may want to get into competitive battling, just leave it for when you plan to abuse the RNG or something. It's really easy this generation.

    Also, if you kill it, it will reappear, so you can use it to EV train in HP.

    Damn friends, forcing me back into this Pokémon business. I burned out on third gen hard (stopped at 149/150 in FireRed only because I was really sick of grinding up my Dratini, and probably had even more time into Emerald), but I've still managed to buy each new game. I stopped around the Elite Four in Pearl, and got to the second gym in HeartGold.

    I think I'm just about unburned on this whole dealie. Figure I should grab it before the 10th, and trying things out on the competitive side may just breathe some life into the franchise for me. Or turn me off it forever. Either is fine by me. I can't remember the last time I tried to set up a team, this is a tad overwhelming at a glance.

    You link with another person's Pokemon Black version via entralink(local only) and talk to their people to get them to come over to your forest. The people determine the pokemon and items in your forest.

    http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/blackcitywhiteforest.shtml Has a list of what people bring what pokemon.
