General Pokemon Discussion - KEEP IT ALL HERE!

Are all pokemon available in GS and SS? I mean D/P/Pt had pokemon like gable, lucario, and R/B/E had pokemon like Metagross. Are these, as well as all other pokemon included in HG and SS?hydralisk86

they are included by listening to the radio on thursdays or fridays to find swarming hoenn or sinnoh pokemon, or catching them on routes inside the pokewalker, there are also more to come with wifi events even some event routes for pokewalker that hosts more of these pokemon.

in a sense u can not obtain 42 pokemon in these games and pokewalker. but 2 of these 42 are mew and celebi which mew just had a event in japan to obtain him and celebi will most likely have a wifi event.

making that 40 pokemon are unobtainable in these games and these 40 must be traded for or transfered over (pal park)

regirock,regiice, registeel, jirachi, deoxys, turtwig, grotle, torterra, chimchar, monferno, infernape, piplup, prinplup, empoleon, cranidos, rampados, shieldon, bastiodon, drifloon, drifblim, glameow, purugly, stunky, skuntank, magnezone, leafeon, glaceon, probopass, rotom, uxie, mesprit, azelf, heatran, regigigas, cresselia, phione, manaphy, darkrai, shaymin, arceus.

thats what i got and it does include the pokewalker

When can you actually start trading pokemon with others in HG/SS? I just beat the second gym in Azalea Town and I'm looking to trade for a Metal Coat so I can evolve my Onix into a Steelix. I don't have any good items or pokemon to trade though.

/10 What pokemon should be replaced, what moves should be replaced? every thing helps. Thanks

What Pokémon are in these games? Just those that were originally in Gold and Silver or 3rd and 4th gen pokémon too?

thats what i got and it does include the pokewalker

Does everyone in HeartGold asking for my phone number ever result to anything? I am getting kind of tired that they call to tell me about the same things over and over and I saw I can't delete them. This is the first Pokemon I bought since Yellow, so I really have no idea... I know some of them are helpful and are part of the story, but should random challengers be rejected or will they eventually do something useful later when they call?Shoujo-Ai

Only add the people that say that they will give you stuff. I learned that too late and get way too many calls. However, I've gotten two thunderstones already :)

Guys, Im thinking of buying pokemon heartgold for 32.54 with super saver shipping on amazon.com. does this offer include the pokewalker?hydralisk86

Where do you get Eevee in this game(HG/SS)? If memory serves me right, I thought you could get Eevee in Goldenrod City back in the original G/S. I have a bad memory though so most likely I am wrong.

Actually, you just need the first badge in order to trade over WiFi

You can get an Evee there

I've done some exploring, but do you get the Eevee in the Team Rocket hideout that's in the Goldenrod tunnel?

You receive Eevee from Bill after he returns home from Ecruteak City

I am getting HeartGold because:

1. Gold for GBC was my first pokemon game ever.
2. Better exclusive pokemon, like Kyogre and Arcanine.

I posted this in the pokemon HG SS forums, but no one answered. I have a question about shiny pokemon. 1) If i want to go into competitive dueling, but couldn't find shinies, wouldn't that place me at a huge disadvantage against someone who does? 2) Do non shiny pokemon still work for dueling? I mean for example a non shiny blaziken. Would that still work? What I'm saying is shiny pokemon are obviously stronger than normal ones...

hydralisk86

1. No, a Pokemon being shiny is just a color difference and nothing more

2. Where did you read this? Just because you lost to Shiny Pokemon doesn't mean they are stronger

who would recommend an autosave feature for pokemon ?

What happened to the game corners?! O_O

I was expecting slots, not this voltorb coin thing!!!
At first, I thought they just remade the GoldenRod one for the Voltorbs mini-game and the Celadon one for slots, but Celadon's game corner has the same game.
Why would they take away the slots? I thought they only took away slots for the Europe version, not every place except Japan... :x

Is it because the "teaching children about gambling" thing? Previous game corners had slots, we played them as kids, you don't see us gambling... then why would they remove them?! Does this mean children worldwide, except Japan, can't handle a friendly game of slots?!

...and how am I suppose to get my instant TMs w/o the Lady who sells coins? arrrg...this ruined my day... :evil:

Is gamespot ever gonna review these games...

I'm also quite disappointed that we're unable to buy coins for the TMs too, but.. it's too late now. :(

As for the whole children and gambling thing, I honestly think it's silly of them to start taking them out now, considering they've already been available for so long and nothing bad has come out of it. I can't say that I actually played the slots game previously though, I always just bought the coins I needed for TMs.

I must say that Voltorb Flip is amazingly addicting game once you know how to play it, I must've spent at least 3 hours non-stop last night when I tried it for the first time, lol. It's definitely a slow and tedious process to get 10k coins for 1 TM though, which is a shame, but at least it's fun this time around (at least for me).

Had they decided to make Voltorb Flip for one Game Corner and keep Slots for the other while maintaining the ability to buy coins, HeartGold would've been that much more amazing for me. :P

Hey guys, if i put a pokemon with a pokerus inside the PC, will it infect the other pokemon with the pokerus?

no

Also, do the Gamespot forums have lots of people that compete and trade only using Legit pokemon that haven't been hacked through Action Replay?

1. Not sure, I'm not a EV/IV person

2. Probably. I'm one of those people.

Should I have a Pidgey or a Hoothoot as my main flying type pokemon ?Jbller3

Until you get to Lugia or Ho-oh, I would suggest Fearow.

Ok I just had a total lol moment playing soul silver. I was fighting my rival and he sent out his last pokemon, haunter, and he then said "Hey, hey! Why so serious?!?" :lol:

Does anyone know why the other Strategy Guide isn't being released/sold until Apr 27, 2010?

This is the guide I'm referring to, Pokemon Heart Gold & Soul Silver The Official Pokemon Kanto Guide National Pokedex: Official Strategy Guide. Here's a link http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-HeartGold-SoulSilver-Official-National/dp/0307468054/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269229578&sr=1-2

I have the first guide, The Official Pokemon Johto Guide & Johto Pokedex. I bought it when I picked up Heart Gold & Soul Silver last Sunday. I just beat the Elite 4 and Lance tonight and I can go to Kanto now. I just don't understand why they didn't just make one giant guide that covers both regions, or why they didn't just release both guides at the same time. I mean it won't take me until the end of April to do everything in the Kanto region, and I can't see anyone waiting until then for the other guide to come out. I'll probly still pick it up but it seems stupid that they're releasing the other guide over a month later.

Im trying to beat diamond first before i buy heartgold.

i got soulsilver but wondering why everyone is getting heart gold :question:

Omzzz

I think the reason is total BS, but I kinda like the voltorb game itself is more fun then the slots. It makes it easier to get coins without buying them at least.

I'm wondering if anyone can trade me a Metal Coat so I can evolve my Onix(so yes, not only do I need the item but I also need to trade him to evolve into Steelix). This is for my Soul Silver version, so if anyone wants a Chikorita(I'll have to breed one first) I can trade that for said Metal Coat.

x.x they say third times the charm

anyone know if nightmare and curse work along each other?
