In Crystal, the 2nd egg you get. (Odd Egg from the breeders.) It randomly hatches into one of the pre-evolutions, so far 3 of the ones I've hatched from that egg have been shiny. (I restart often, LOL.)

My question is this: What are the chaces that only that egg will hatch a shiny pokemon?

There's actually a 50% chance of the egg being shiny.

[Xtacy]

Anyone remember where to get a water stone?

[shanecdavis]

You have to go to Route 25, where Bill's house is, and show his old man/gramps a Staryu (might be different in Silver) and he will give you a Water Stone. Remember that this is the ONLY Water Stone you get in the game.

Use it on Staryu.

[Xtacy]

Hmm....I wanted to evolve my Poliwhirl before the Elite 4...

p.s. thanks for the answer

[Kenji~]

i have some questions: if trade a shiny from GSC to RBY, then trade it back, will it retain it's shininess?
if you trade a pokemon from RBY to GSC does it have a chance to be shiny?
Do you have to catch Mew/Celebi in their respective games to finish you pokedex?
Is there some reason you can't clone shinies? or is it just the Gyarados?

[Digiko]

i have some questions: if trade a shiny from GSC to RBY, then trade it back, will it retain it's shininess?
Yes.

if you trade a pokemon from RBY to GSC does it have a chance to be shiny?

Yes.

Do you have to catch Mew/Celebi in their respective games to finish you pokedex?

If you mean that if you need them to complete the Pokedex, then no.

Is there some reason you can't clone shinies? or is it just the Gyarados?

Not really sure on this, but I think it's because of the one in 1000(However many zeroes it is xD) chance

[Kenji~]

Thanx.
I have a some more ?'s: If you breed a shiny to a non-shiny, what chance is there that the baby will be shiny? and what if theyre both shiny?

[shanecdavis]

I am not able to verify it right now, but IIRC the chance for a shiny baby from a shiny parent is 50%. Also, having both parents shiny does not increase the chance.

[Kenji~]

oh, ok, thanks. I guess i should start hatching those magikarp eggs.

is chaos black not real? like its just been hacked and modified?

[Kylie-chan]

Chaos Black is a hack of a game - it's not an actual, official Pokemon game, in which case you don't ask about it in this part of the forum. o_o; Go look in the hacks area, which should tell you more about them.

[c00kie]

where do you get sneasel in gold version?

[brotlov]

where do you get sneasel in gold version?
In the Icy Path leading to Blackthorn City.

[Mechaman]

in crystal, can you get a mareep?
if so, where?

[enyce]

yo with an emulator and gold and silver ROMS, would I be able to trade and battle with netplay?

Also, is it possible to be the trainer on top instead of on the bottom

http://www.pokemon-france.com/jeux/gen2/or_argent/test/illus/screens/cbt-rival.png

Thats an example, I want to be where silver is.... You look so ugly being on the bottom

[Geometric-sama]

in crystal, can you get a mareep?
if so, where?
No, you'll need to trade from Gold or Silver.

[pokenaut]

what is the best starter for when you are going against the elite 4

[Geometric-sama]

By the time you get to the Elite 4, you should have evenly trained a well-rounded party. You won't get past them with just one Pokémon (well, I did with my Venusaur, but it was something like level 75 - I didn't train very well in my first game). This means that by the end of the game it doesn't really matter which starter you chose.

[shanecdavis]

If it is RBY, then the best starter is by far Blastoise. I defeated the E4 with Blastoise and Zapdos. I actually beat the entire game with only Blastoise and only used Zapdos in the E4.

[ze_gobou]

And for GSC, what's the best starter ?

[shanecdavis]

Feraligatr and Meganium are comparable, depending on what you want. Typhlosion is the worst starter of the 9 (soon to be 12). Actually the GSC starters are the worst of the bunch.

[Bekki]

I agree with him. The Johoto (sp?) are the worst bunch but this is my opinion try and start with Totodile.

[Micklo]

I haven't played on my Silver Cartridge for ages, but when I try to load it up now, the Continue option isn't there.

Same thing if I start again and save straight away.........no Continue option!

[philip1992]

The battery must be dead.

[Micklo]

The battery must be dead.

How do I get the battery back to normal?

[pokedood]

how do you get mew on GSC? i looked on the mew on metal and colour generation games but thats for red,blue and yellow!

[burnthechavs]

there is no way of catching him, and no glitch, as far as i know, trade from RBY or gameshark it in

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

Well here is the MEW TRICK

-Make sure you haven't battled the Gambler with two Poliwags and a Poliwhirl. He is facing the Underground Path toward Celadon city...on Route 8. Also, make sure you haven't fought the Youngster on Route 24, he's just after a Hiker and is facing North. If you have, the code won't work.

-You need Fly. (Aka HM02)

-Get some Ultra Balls, and anything else you would use to catch a Level 7 Mew, that only knows Pound.


Go to the Gambler I talked about before. Save AT the door he is facing. Don't make him battle you. SAVE HERE, this is tricky. Now, step one step towards him, and PRESS START. Really fast. If you did it right, the menu will pop up, but he won't battle you. Now Fly to Cerulean City.
[If you've done this right, after you use Fly, he will get the "!" over his head]

Note: You cannot use START, A, or B.

Note: Do NOT save anywhere after this. First of all, you can't save when your buttons don't work. But second, when they work again, saving will ruin the Mew code, and not allow you to get the Mew. Ever. Keep your saved file from before you battled the Gambler.

[If you've done this right, you can't press Start]
Walk (you can't use start) to the Youngster, and when you battle him, make sure he WALKS TO YOU. Don't go directly in front of him. Beat him, and (now your buttons work) Fly to Lavender Town (Or Saffron City).

[If you've done this right, the Start menu WILL pop up when it should]
Now if you went to Lavender, go to the left of town, and start to enter that narrow passageway. If you went to Saffron, go right, to where the guard lets you past if you give him a drink. Either way, the Start menu will pop up. Do NOT save here. Press B. Mew will appear. This is your ONLY chance. (unless you go to your save file before the Gambler) Ta-Da...its a Mew.

[burnthechavs]

he said gold silver crystal, everyone knows the RBY version

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

I know but just incase he didn't know how to do the Mew trick. Well my last post should go in the RBYG stick thread.

:t093:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~

[seda]

Does the Mew Glitch work for Yellow?

[Jorah]

Yep, I think its exactly the same way.

[seda]

OK I was just making sure. :)

[PkmnRedFan]

Just wondering... does this trick work with all Blue,yellow,and red version??

[Dr_random]

O.K., I was going to glitch city, but intstead of ending up at glitch city, I ended up in fwushca with no music

the instructions i used for my red version are as follows:
Join safari zone
exit imediatly
when,"are you done???" say no
save imediatly
turn system off
turn system on
exit safari zone imediatly
do not join hunt
exit building

I sympathise. My sisters Silver game has that problem. We decided to play our old G/S/C games after a long while. All the clocks of my games had to be reset, but they didn't affect the save (I was still in Vermillion in Gold, thank goodness), my sis, however, wasn't so lucky. Her Silver save ws corrupted.

So today I'm hoping to go and find a second hand one at the shops.

But if anyone else knows how to sort out this problem, that'd be great.

to get rid of the problem,you must replace the internal battery,or send it to nintendo.but either way the save will be gone.you might as well just play until you cant play the save any more.then send it in to nintendo.

[Latios&Latias381382]

I cant do the so called "Mew Gltch" by flying away from trainers before they battle you how do i do it correctly

[Chesters_love]

how do you get the rail pass on crystal?

[Kraka-chan]

Okay, first once you've arrived in Kanto, you have to activate the Power Plant. But I won't go through the all the details, unless you haven't done that.

Anyway, you have to help the Copycat in Saffron City. Talk to her, then go to the Pokemon fanclub in Vermillion City and talk to the guy with the Pokedoll. Take the Pokedoll to the Copycat and she'll give you a rail pass.

I hope that helped.

[SuperGuy]

in crystal, can u find poliwag at day... i kno u can find it at night

[Aust77]

I have a problem with either my Gameboy or Gold version.So I turned on my Gameboy with Gold version inside,and,to my suprise,my very good file was gone.The only two options were"New Game",or "Options".Then I made a new game,played for about 25 minutes,and saved,then I turned back on and my new game was gone.Whats the problem??

[SuperGuy]

i cant help u with that. but im pretty sure that the problem is with the gold version, my bro has the same prob with his red version

[Aust77]

Darn.......i'll see if anyone else could help.

[Zerus]

And for GSC, what's the best starter ?

I'd go with Totodile. It has very good stats but it doesn't learn a lot of useful Attacks. there's always Cyndaquil.

[Aust77]

Hey guys,in my Blue version,I beat Misty in the Cerulean city,I got the S.S Anne ticket from Bill,and when I went to cut the annoying tree that was blocking my way to the next city,I looked in my item pocket,and there were no HMs!!How do I fix this problem??EDIT:I also never taught any of my Pokemon the HM Cut.

You're not playing your game with an emulator or a cheat device are you?
If not, then the HMs should be in the items list, or in <trainer's name> PC.
You should have recieved the HM from the S.S Anne Captain, after which, the S.S Anne will be gone.

[Toothache]

Heh, he hasn't even got Cut yet. You don't get Cut from Misty, you just get the ability to use it outside battle after beating her.

So, in order to get Cut, you go south from Cerulean, through the Underground Path (there is an ingame trade here at one end), through a few trainers to arrive at Vermilion City. Next, board the ship at the end of the dock (the SS Anne). I would battle all the trainers here for Experience, since you only have this one opportunity to do so. Check around each room, and if you happen to run into Gary, beat him up and carry on past to find the captain of the SS Anne, who happens to be feeling a bit seasick. Talk to him and you'll rub his back, and he'll feel better. He will give you Cut as a reward.

[Kraka-chan]

Ah, I thought he'd already did.
Sorry about that Aust77.

[Aust77]

Thanks!!!I got Cut from the captain!!

I have NO IDEA if this is the right place to ask, but how do you collect the pokemon not in your version if you're using an emulator?

[Red1530]

Trade with other versions or use a cheating device.

[Ichaste Pekoni]

Using an EMULATOR, not a real-life cartridge.

[gubook janggoon]

I used to love these games when I was younger but after awhile they lost their charm. Well, I'm going off to college now and the big thing for me has been rediscovering my childhood. :] I figured, why not pick up the old Gold again? So as a former veteran and a humble "noob" I have a question.

I have both the red and gold versions and I want a Steelix in my gold version. If I attatched the metal coat to an Onix and traded it to the red version, and then traded back to the gold version, would my Onix turn into a Steelix or would I just get back an Onix minus a metal coat?

Many Thanks.

gl with ur college

not positive but if u attach metal coat to a onix it wont let u trade to RBY so u would have to trade to one of the gsc games . not completely sure though

[Ichaste Pekoni]

Actually, since held items aren't officially recorded in R/B/Y, I don't think it matters...but the question of whether or not it will evolve is beyond my experience...

And I guess my question can't/won't be answered here...oh well.

I was just curious on yellow version next to pallete town htere is some grass that you can not reach anyone know if there is a way to get to it, or if it is simply not possible.

[Ayano Katagiri]

Oh yup thank you I found him now right beside the Gym. Yep I now know why I couldn't find it: It was because I never went into those house after I played LF/FR I assumed those houses didn't have anything but they did in Yellow and that's why I actually found Charmander first hehe!

hey, it definitely will still evolve upon trading it back. i do it all the time. trust me on this one. your items are still encoded with the pokemon. the onix will not be able to be traded if you have any new moves with it, but when you trade it back, the items stay the same, so if you have a metal coat, it'll evolve into stelix.

The Blackthorne Gym, I'm playing silver.

I know that you have to have completed all gyms and the three team rocket events before you're allowed entrance. My question is, if I show up before I've completed these things is my entrance to it blocked for good, or if I leave and complete the events and come back will I then have entrance to it?

all you have to do is go to see Bill's grandpa, north of Cerulean City. he wants to see some random pokemon that Bill told him about: Lickitung, Oddish, Growlithe, Staryu, and Pichu. each of these give you one element stone (except Lickitung is worthless and only gives you an everstone).

well, okay. first, you make sure your crystal version doesn't have anything in your party that can't be traded, even if you don't plan on trading them, you can't have them with you.

next, go to the time capsule, and talk to the woman in front of it. she asks if you want to trade across time, and you say yes. she'll treat it like a regular trade from then on, asking to save the game, and letting you into the tiny room.

in your yellow version, you simply go up to the trading/battling woman, and talk to her. she saves, and it skips the "where would you like to go?" part, bringing you right into the little room.

you talk to your other self, and it's a normal trade. just with restrictions on what pokemon you can bring. tada.

I suppose the only legal way to get Mew would be to get one from a friend in trade.
Otherwise, you will probably have to resort to using an AR or another cheat device.

Stupid question... x__o;;
I'm playing silver version.
I've gotten all the badges.
I want to trade a pokemon over to my Crystal version...
One problem...
it says the trade machine is being repaired. D;
The time capsule works fine...I guess only one works at a time. >o<
Could anyone PLEASE tell me how to get Bill to fix the Trade Machine before I mutilate my gameboy advanced? o_o;;

[~Alakazam~]

You're playing on a GBA? I don't believe you can trade using a GBA cable in GSC.

I believe you'll have to use a GBC cable to trade.

[Ai-Chan]

But arn't the cable for the GBC & GBA are the same? o_o;
It's not a matter of the cable... It's something with silver I think. =\

hello i am new to pkmn comunity and need help about pokemon shiny gold i think a guy from pkmn comunity made it and the game is superb but it becomes weird at some places if u know that person tell me so ican get help

[Cornicapus]

I don't think so...Well, if there isn't a legal way, why was Mew created ??

To answer your question the Mew Glitch is legal... and getting it from nintendo event is legal

and they created mew to make everyone jealous and be craving mew like it was a reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllyyyyyy good choclate and they crave it so much ppl start making false hope and stupid guides which makes everyone all like :D theres hope! (if ou wanna see the scams they made go here Fake Mew Scams (http://www.trsrockin.com/mew.html) some are incredibly funny) and while ppl are crying about how hey lost all their pokemon Nintendo holds events were you BUY mew and they make a HUGE cash profit..... well thats my theory

Also to snwers Ainee's post go to the Shiny gold post in these forums and check if the problems you found havent been reported if they havent REPORT IT and hopfully it will be fixed when b3 comes out

[Akiyo]

Lol, some of those Fake Mew Scams were funny. The one with the Bermuda Triangle made me laugh :p

[Auron]

Well...Long time ago I heard that playing the Pokéflute 20 or 100 times in front of Mewtwo will turn it into Mew...LOL xD

[Vampire Washu]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am making my way through Pokemon Silver and I am in Blackthorn City, ready to battle Clair.

But the person blocking the gym door saying she/he doesn't know when Clair will return hasn't moved...

And then there's an old man blocking the cave enterance which I've been told will only move for you once you've been given permission by Clair...

But... if I can't get into the gym... I can't get into the cave.

Does anyone know how I am supposed to get to Clair?

[Jesus Freak Josh]

Have you defeated the Rockets at the Radio Tower?

[Bekki]

If not then you have to before you can go in and defeat Clair.

Oh and some of the Mew Scams in earlier posts were funny.

[dude_dude]

Alrighty now that I'm in the right place. I'm trying to catch Zapdos in red but my ultra ball keeps missing the pokemon completely, why does that happen and what should I do?

[Red1530]

Alrighty now that I'm in the right place. I'm trying to catch Zapdos in red but my ultra ball keeps missing the pokemon completely, why does that happen and what should I do?I don't know why in the game the ball misses. However putting Zapdos asleep will allow the ultra ball to make contact.

[dude_dude]

Oh thank you very much. :)

EDIT, to prevent double posting: What does the move beat up do? It's a little unclear to me.

[Kraka-chan]

Beat up deals damage depending on how many Pokemon you have in your team, so you could deal up to six hits.
I don't know if the Pokemon team member's level affects the attack power though... but that's as far as I know.

It depends only on how many Pokémon are in your party; those afflicted with Sleep, Burn, Paralysis, or Poison do not count.

[BlueBlastoise7285]

I have a question.....

About Ghost Pokemon, I know thay cannot attack normal pokemon but can they attack normal pokemon with a second type (i.e. Pidgeotto) by explioting the second type?

I think this is a bad question, but I'm not sure.

[Kylie-chan]

No... well, yes, but not in that way. Ghost Pokémon can attack normal Pokémon with any move that isn't Ghost type. No idea if it can, but if Gengar knew Thunder, it could still attack a normal-type Pokémon, by using Thunder.

[Arlynn]

Stupid question... x__o;;
I'm playing silver version.
I've gotten all the badges.
I want to trade a pokemon over to my Crystal version...
One problem...
it says the trade machine is being repaired. D;
The time capsule works fine...I guess only one works at a time. >o<
Could anyone PLEASE tell me how to get Bill to fix the Trade Machine before I mutilate my gameboy advanced? o_o;;

Since no one answered your question - to trade from Silver to Crystal or vice-versa you go to the regular trading post. They are both second gen. games.

[t0shiba]

hi, im trying to trade my pokemon from my blue version over to my gold version, but every time i try to do this, the gold version says "your friend is not ready." and a few seconds later, the blue version says "the link has been closed because of inactivity." This happens after the games recognize that there is a link cable attached because it goes all the way to the point where it asks me to save, then afterwards it does this. I think it must have something to do with the gold version, because it doesnt seem to recognize the cable while the blue does, but im not sure.
I know that its not the link cable, ive tried 3 so far all with the same results. I was wondering if you all know of a way to fix this. Thanks a lot.


Also, if im playing gold on my gba, do i have to use the game boy color gameshark or can i use a game boy advanced one?

[Red1530]

Also, if im playing gold on my gba, do i have to use the game boy color gameshark or can i use a game boy advanced one?To trade between Gold and Blue you need to meet a few requirements

Activate the Time Capsule in Gold
The Pokemon on your team are from the RBY Generation only
The Pokemon from the RBY Generation don't have moves that are new to GSCI think you need the Gameboy link to trade as well. Also the requirements apply to Sliver and Crystal as well.

[t0shiba]

i meet every one of those requirements.

Are you saying i must use a gameboy link cable instead of a gameboy advanced one? and if thats true, can i still connect that to 2 game boy advances?

[t0shiba]

Sorry for double posting, but does any1 else have any ideas? I think it may be that i need a gameboy color chord, but im not sure. Anyone have any experience with using a gameboy advanced chord for pokemon gold/silver/red/blue?

[AquaLeaderMatt]

How do you get the other wing in Crystal? I can't remember which one, but the old man in Pewter gives me one of the wings (I think he gives me the Silver wing) where is the other one? And, once you get the Rainbow wing, does that unlock Ho-oh? (I mean, does it make some stairs appear in the Tin tower or something?)

Thanks.

[Yami Rui]

In order to get the Rainbow Wing in Crystal you must have beat the Elite 4 and captured Entei, Raikou and Suicune. {No trading}. Then the monks guarding the tin tower will give you the Rainbow Wing and let you go into Tin Tower.

Thanks. I needed this. ;)

[Tker]

There is no "best" starter, but Cyndaquil will probably make the game easiest for you. Chikorita is also quite good near the end of the game, but it's a little hard to get through the first couple Gyms unless you catch something like a Pidgey.

[PhilVidler666]

in red, ive gone behind the ss anne, becoz i traded from my yellow version and got all the poke's with the hms first. ive found some sort of truck. Ive been told that is where u can find mew without cheating. WHAT DO U DO WHEN U GET TO THE TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my m8 says use strength, but i dont know here. HELP!!!!!

The steps to use the Mew Glitch can be gotten here (http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/rbcatchmew.html).

[PhilVidler666]

ohh, for gods sake! i try to do something rite for once and it dont work

[Ash&pikachuarethebest]

Can you obtain pokerus on red blue and yellow?
If so how do you get it?

[Always and Never]

sorry but Pokerus didn't come around until G/S/C

[Ash&pikachuarethebest]

Thanks I wish there was so i could make my pokemon stronger oh well thanks anyway

well , i know that crystal is a crappy game, but making it as hard as that? havin to catch all the LegiDogs in the wild and then u can catch Ho-Oh? What a freakin rip! BTW, Who's that bloke in B/R/Y who says 'ERIK: Where's SARA? I sad I'd meet her here.' is there an alternate 'mission' or something?

[Haowakeorden]

BTW, Who's that bloke in B/R/Y who says 'ERIK: Where's SARA? I sad I'd meet her here.' is there an alternate 'mission' or something?There is no known task in the existing game related to Erik and Sara, but I've heard that there may have been one in the beta versions of the game.

[Always and Never]

i dont even know where Erik is... help?

[Red1530]

i dont even know where Erik is... help?You mean Erika and she is located in Celadon City.

[Always and Never]

oh duh! now I recognize it...

[SvobodaMT]

Alrighty, I have a question. Does the weird radio station that plays in the Ruins of Alph serve any purpose in any of the games? I particulary want to know this for Crystal, since I haven't played Crystal in ages and don't remember if it does anything. I don't think it really serves a purpose in Gold or Silver, or if it does I haven't figured it out. Does anyone know?

[Pokemon Breeder Zoria]

Shinies...what is the easiest way to get them? (Otherwise than linkcable)

I heard that if you breed, it has a %50 chance....

[PhilVidler666]

You mean Erika and she is located in Celadon City.

no, i really dont. hes even in lg/fr, and hes in fuschia city near the office of the safari zone. oh, and the chance to get shinies is like 1/8210 battles, i think.

[umbros]

no, i really dont. hes even in lg/fr, and hes in fuschia city near the office of the safari zone. oh, and the chance to get shinies is like 1/8210 battles, i think.

actually, it's a 1/8172 chance, exactly.

[Haowakeorden]

actually, it's a 1/8172 chance, exactly.1 in 8192 chance, if one does the calculations for the probability of getting a Pokémon with the specific genes that would render them shiny.

Nobody has answered your question, so...
I'm afraid that the wierd radio station has no other purpose than to add a sense of wierdness to the Ruins.
And I think the same should go for Crystal (I haven't played it in ages either).

[SvobodaMT]

Ok thanks. I was hoping it would unlock some secret item, but I guess not. xD

[ZER0]

Upon My Rediscovery My First Question Is Do A Level 2 Nidoran N A Level 2 Spearow Appear In That Patch Of Grass In Front Of The Pokemon League? If Anybody Has An Old Guide Laying At Home N Can Check Thatd Be Awesome Though Im Playing Pokemon Green Right Now N Want To Know Those Leveled Pokemon Appear In That Version. I Found A Nidoran Female Level 2 In That Grass And A Rattata Level 2 In That Grass Along With A Nidoran Male Level 3 N A Spear Level 3 But Cant Find Those 2 On Level 2 N Its Either A Rare Condition Or Do They Appear At All? I Guess Wat Im Trying Say Is

Can A Level 2 Nidoran Male N Spearow Be Found In Tall Grass In Front Of The Pokemon League In Green Version?

[Haowakeorden]

Can A Level 2 Nidoran Male N Spearow Be Found In Tall Grass In Front Of The Pokemon League In Green Version?Assuming that Green Version has the same Pokémon location data as the English Blue Version, only Level 3 and 5 Spearow can be found there, and only Level 3 or 4 Male Nidoran.

[ZER0]

Assuming that Green Version has the same Pokémon location data as the English Blue Version, only Level 3 and 5 Spearow can be found there, and only Level 3 or 4 Male Nidoran.

SO UR SAYING THAT SPEAROW N NIDORAN MALE CAN BE GOTTEN AT LEVEL 3 AT THE VERY LEAST IN THE FIRST 3 VERSION N POKEMON IN CERTAIN AREAS APPEAR AT VARYING LEVEL DEPENDING ON POKEMON KIND SO U CAN FIND A SPEAROW N NIDORAN MALE FROM LEVEL 3 TO 5 IN A FIELD N A NIDORAN FEMALE N RATTATA THAT ONLY RANGE FROM LEVEL 2 TO 4. THANK U. I JUS WANTED TO MAKE SURE CUZ I KNO SOME KIND OF POKEMON R REALLY RARE TO FIND N WAS ASKIN MYSELF R THEY NOT THERE OR IS IT JUS MY LUCK

[Always and Never]

wow, always check for caps lock XD.
Are you arguing there or agreeing?

[Richard Lynch]

Actually, I was always under the impression that weird radio station made Unknowns appear more often when in the ruins. I could be wrong, that's just what I was always told. Unknowns are without a doubt the ultimate let down; you'd think there's something extraordinary about them, if you catch each letter whatnot... and nothing. There should be more of a story to them if they show up in D/P.

And the music IS very creepy, even for a bloody Pokemon game. I've been replaying my Crystal version, and it freaked me out last night, because I almost forgot about it.

[ZER0]

wow, always check for caps lock XD.
Are you arguing there or agreeing?
MAKING SURE. ID HATE TO CATCH A HIGH LEVEL POKEMON N GET IT AT A HIGH LEVEL JUS 2 FIND OUT THERE WAS A LOWER LEVEL OF IT ALL ALONG N I DID ALL THOSE BATTLE FOR NOTHING.

[umbros]

**** Pp Stand For?9012345

PP= Power Points. how many of one move you can use before your pokemon runs out of energy.

[ZER0]

Im Hearing Bout Pokerus N It Basicly Seems Like Ur Pokemon Randomly Get Infected With It While Battling So It Will Read 'pokerus' Instead Of 'normal' As A Status. My Question Is Does It Jus Boost Number Of Stat U Get With Level Up Or Is It Like A Permanent Vitamin Upgrade Like Calcium Iron Zinc Ect But With Random Stat That Last Forever? So It Is Mor Permanent N Less Of A Teaser Like If Ur Pokemon Jus Hatch From An Egg N Was Lvl 1 N Infected With The Pokerus Virus U Could Power Level Its Ass Up To 100 N Hav It Perform Like A Lvl 200 Since I Hear A Lvl 60 Could Take Down A Lvl 80 So Thatd Suck Cuz Itd Be Too Difficult. Then It Like If U Wana Be Really Really Great U Need Not Only Pokerus At Perfect Moment But Shiny Pokemon Ect. **** All That. I Want It To Be Permanent So Pokemon Is Mor Fun N Less Of An Intimidatin Chore. Im Hopin It Is That Latter But Im Hopin Mor For An Honest Answer N Not Wishful Thinkin.

On Less Over Dosing Note. Doesnt Pokerus Remind Yall Of Toysrus Mor Than Pokemon Virus?

[kyogre1940]

With Pokerus, it just makes the Pokemon's stats go up faster, and there is something about Effort Points(whatever those are, go check Serebii.net). I one time had a Magikarp with Pokerus, so I gave it an Exp. Share and see what would happen(because I was training another one as well, to see the difference). In the end, Oddly enough, (never seen this before), my Pokerus Magikarp, once it got to Lv. 97, it said, for all the stats, +0. All of its stats were around 250, except for speed, which was aroun 350. My other Magikarp was still in the 100-175 range. And, Pokerus does go away, so you should always have at least one pokemon in your PC with Pokerus. It spreads, so technically, you could make every single Pokemon in your PC have it (it only spreads in your party).
And also, Pokerus does remind me of Toys R' Us, now that you mention it...

[Vampire Washu]

Okay, so I finally got back to playing Silver from my previous question a few pages back.


Well, I went back to the Radio Tower to defeat Team Rocket. The imposter gave me the Basement Key for the Underground. So I can go get the Card Key, to open up the shutters back in the Tower.

Easy, right?

So I make my way to the Underground and the only path TO the Underground is blocked by a Team Rocket member. I can't get him to budge.


There are two other Rocket's standing far away blocking another path, and they haven't moved either.

How do I get them to move to get to the Underground...?

[jammi567]

There are actually two paths to the Underground: one in the North east and one in the South east. Just go to the one that isn't blocked.

[Vampire Washu]

Trust me, I've tried. Every way is blocked by a Rocket.

I PMed you a map to show what I'm talking about.

[kyogre1940]

Both entrances are NOT blocked. I'm playing Crystal right now, I'm your spot. It is not blocked. The North Entrance(next to the Name Rater's house) in Goldenrod isn't blocked.

[Captain Arcane]

I have a question!
What is the name of the male hero from crystal version. I already know the femal's name, it's Crystal.

Thanx ^_^

[Cex]

I have a question!

Thanx ^_^

Well since Crystal was the first version to have a girl character, I think they didn't change the names from Gold version. In Gold version, you'd be Gold and your rival'd be Silver. In Silver, the opposite of Gold and I think in Crystal version it was
You = Gold
Rival = Silver
Girl You = Crystal

Hmmmm, but I think when Crystal version came out, I think they gave the male a name other than the stupid gold and silver.

[>Bent<]

The default name of the hero in Gold is GOLD (rival SILVER).
The default name of the hero in Silver is SILVER (rival GOLD).
The default name of the hero in Crystal is CHRIS (heroine KRIS, rival SILVER).

Mere clarification...

Yes, I knew the names where different in Crystal version-
Okay, I'll take that answer, who in there right mind would name there children gold and silver!? But that makes me so mad that nintendo would name the rival Silver X_X
Oh'well, thanx for the reply! ^_^

[ss5vegeta]

Who knows who they are?

Originaly there was gonna be 190 Pokemon but was shortened to 150, this included the Pokegod's (apparantly one looked like Charizard), Mewthree and Pikablu (now known as Marril).

Who knows some others and where I can see some pictures?

you're talking mostly about rumors. there were originally 156 pokemon programmed in, and when they ran out of room, they just left them out. Mewthree doesn't exist, missingno. and 'mblock were results of this programming, and Marril COULD actually be gotten through a glitch in red and blue, through some means of trading missingno. and/or 'mblock. just so you know, Stantler was also one of the pokemon intended to be in red and blue that they cut out. the game designers didn't even change the moves it learned when they later included it in gold and silver. if, however, you manage to get one of these without permanantly messing up your game, it will not have a name, hence "Pikablu" for Marril, since everyone thought it was supposed to be some branch evolution for Pikachu. you will have to make a nickname for them, and it will not let you cancel it. if you do, you get a glitched out block in place of the name, and your game will start to fail.

[Haowakeorden]

there were originally 156 pokemon programmed in, and when they ran out of room, they just left them out.Where did you get this information? There were 256 slots for Pokémon in total; when the game was relased, 151 of those contained real Pokémon, and 105 were just glitches. Game Freak easily could have added five Pokémon to the current 151 with the old cartridges.

and Marril COULD actually be gotten through a glitch in red and blue, through some means of trading missingno.Actually, using variations of the Mew Glitch may give you a Pokémon with Marill's Pokédex number. Of course, it's not called Marill, and bears no resemblance to it other than the Pokédex number (itself a glitch).

[King K]

Actually, using variations of the Mew Glitch may give you a Pokémon with Marill's Pokédex number. Of course, it's not called Marill, and bears no resemblance to it other than the Pokédex number (itself a glitch).
Marill's Pokemon number is 183, right?

That means that in Pokemon Blue, Marill could be a glitch called "Aerodactyl fossil MissingNo", which is the 183th (B7 in hex) in the Pokemon list, it looks like this: (Look at the bottom of this post)

Unfortunately, all the Pokemons seem to be arranged in a random way. When it should start with Bulbasaur, then Ivysaur etc, it starts with 'M (a glitch Pokemon), then continues with Rhydon etc...

Also, "Aerodactyl fossil MissingNo" sometimes looks like a "r".

~K

[ss5vegeta]

And sometimes when I use Gameshark codes a wild pokemon appears (this normaly hapens with Dordrio) it has the name Rydon.

[pandadave]

I realize this probably gets asked a lot but iv been out of the loop for a while, and was wondering if its yet possible to transfer Pokemon from gold/ silver to the GBA versions (even via a cheat cart.) ?

I spent many and hour on them and the thought of having to start from scratch for the DS versions is annoying!

[ss5vegeta]

No, not even if you smash your G/S/C cart into a advance one and meld them together.

[Chibaymega12]

it's not really about the inside game, i just want to know

i know that Red and blue came before the anime, but did yellow come out before the anime too?

[Cex]

I'm not sure about that one, but Yellow Version was the version most based on the anime. If it did come out before the anime, it must have come out very close to before, and the writers must have gotten the base storyline. Maybe it came out before in anime in Japan, but I think it came out later than the anime in Canada & the US.
Still, I'm not 100% sure.

[Chibaymega12]

yeah, the anime came first here, but like you said, Red and Blue came before the anime but not many are sure about yellow, ill have to search about it

ok, i figured it out, it says on wiki that in Japan that the Anime came out on April 21, 1997 and Yellow version came out on September something, 1998. So the anime came before Yellow, mystery solved.

[>Bent<]

Yes. That's why Yellow has several parts based off the anime -- for example, the samurai kid in Viridian Forest, Damian giving you a Charmander, and you getting Pikachu because the Rival gets the other starter.

[Chibaymega12]

yeah, but in the anime, Gary is revealed to get Squirtle at the beggining of his journey, not an eevee. But anyways, it said on a few web sites that the anime was based a bunch on the game, and that got me thinking, hmmmm, its prolly based on yellow, im pretty sure yellow came out after the anime, cause i got yellow a year after the other two so i wasnt sure until today

[Rayquaza_Nick]

In my own suggestion,Yellow came out months before the anime was released and it was based on the anime and th red/blue versions...Have you saw or read the pokemon comics? Red and blue was based on the comics...

[>Bent<]

[thenry009]

Hey guys, is there a way to make a pokemon learn a specific type of hidden power through a gameshark?

For example say i want my scizor to learn hidden power bug.

[Scales]

Hey guys, is there a way to make a pokemon learn a specific type of hidden power through a gameshark?

any thing is possible through gameshark

I dont know though. Try CMGSCCC's forums

[thenry009]

I heard that red & blue, green, whatever, was based on the cartoon. Is that true?

[Jesus Freak Josh]

I heard that red & blue, green, whatever, was based on the cartoon. Is that true?

I believe it's this way:
Games -> Manga -> Cartoon

At any rate, the games DEFINITELY came first.

[Richard Lynch]

I've got a question...

In Pokemon Yellow, does Pikachu EVER allow you to evolve him? To my knowledge, I thought no... but a friend of mine said eventually he does let you evolve him. If he's right, does anyone know when exactly he lets you?

[PhilVidler666]

ive never trained pikachu to evolve, ive always found a pidgey or a nidoran to train up, as their evos are better, but i think its lvl 70 or higher. unless u trade to red/blue and evolve him at lvl50-60 there. then trade back and u have a raichu!" he wont follow u around though.

[Ascendancy]

I was just reading this, and is this true?


1)Go up to a rare pokemon that you can see (lugia, ho-hou)

2) Save in front of them

3) battle and if its not shiny....Turn off

4) Keep repeating this and eventually you will get a shiny version (THIS TAKES
A LONG TIME AND IF YOUR NOT LUCKY THIS CAN TAKE UP TO 3 HRS TO WORK) BUT IT
WILL WORK,

[>Bent<]

I was just reading this, and is this true?Yup, it's true. That's a common method of locating shining Pokemon known as "soft-resetting," due to resetting the game quickly by pressing A+B+Start+Select.

[Jim]

Does GSC use the EV system? I didn't think it did until I remembered about the Unowns and Hidden Power.

[SilverDragonair]

I don't remember if this is possible and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere in the forums (I'm sure it's somewhere obvious and I'm just inept, so if this is the case, I'm so sorry!!)..but anyway! Can anyone confirm to me if it's possible for a GSC game to have a battle link with RBY? I know you can use the time machine to trade, but can you battle too?

Thanks for your help, and again, I apologize if this is already posted somewhere. :)

[~Night]

In Crystal version my friend had beaten the Elite 4 and saved right behind the 8th gym and turned her game off. When she turned her game back on the only options on the menu were NEW GAME and OPTIONS. She started a new game, saved and turned her game off. When she turned it back on the only options were NEW GAME and OPTIONS. Does anyone know how this happend because her favorite region is the Johto region and she doesn't have Silver or Gold version.

[Always and Never]

Her save battery ran out.

You can't battle with R/B

[umbros]

Does GSC use the EV system? I didn't think it did until I remembered about the Unowns and Hidden Power.

yes, they use the EV system, but you're thinking of the DV's. the DV's are what control the hidden power, and the EV's are what control your ability to get to max stats. but since the EV's didn't exist in RBY, you can't get to max stats unless you had them there already. the DV's still existed, there was just no way to fix a bad DV.

[>Bent<]

Uh, EVs did exist in RBY too. What makes you think they didn't? ._.

They're basically the same as the GBA games' EVs, except that there are 65535 for each stat, Pokemon give out EVs equal to their base stats (yes, all stats), and you can max out EVs for all stats, not just two.

Uh, EVs did exist in RBY too. What makes you think they didn't? ._.

They're basically the same as the GBA games' EVs, except that there are 65535 for each stat, Pokemon give out EVs equal to their base stats (yes, all stats), and you can max out EVs for all stats, not just two.

sorry, i knew they existed, but they worked differently (only a little) in RBY than they did in GSC. you earn the EV points on the way up to 100, and like before, if you had extra, you could do the box trick to get the extra points. however, there was a cap on how many you could get, so if you overdid it, you could screw yourself into not getting one or two of your stats maxed out. my example is Thorn, my Venusaur. he has the max possible for HP, attack, and defense, but he has a middle DV for special, and the lowest possible for speed. because i continued to earn the HP, attack, and defense points after level 100 with him, i can no longer do the box trick to give extra points. so, yeah, there were still EV's. i just didn't think about how to say what i meant. sorry, everybody.

[Jim]

yes, they use the EV system, but you're thinking of the DV's. the DV's are what control the hidden power, and the EV's are what control your ability to get to max stats. but since the EV's didn't exist in RBY, you can't get to max stats unless you had them there already. the DV's still existed, there was just no way to fix a bad DV.

No actuallty it was a Typo xD.

i have a question about the mew glitch. i killed the slopoke guy by accident and now i cant do it. can anyone tell me if i can someone else?

[PhilVidler666]

you can always start a new game if you're that bothered to get mew. the only gud thing about it is that it can learn any TM/HM and that it is legendary XD . but if you're that bothered about getting mew, then restart ur game.

[kuribohgx]

its not that im bothered its that it never works now. my start boutton fails and my game freezes. does anyone know what i did wrong?

[Charizard Rep]

In pokemon Crystal, to catch a Heracross, are there any particular areas that it is the easiest in?

and also, does Hericross only appear in the trees that only have a 10% chance of a Pokemon appearing each time?
[If that makes sense ;) ]

Cos I have just spent over 10 hours and cant find one -_-
And have read pretty much every single guide or hint on the internet - but no luck!

where has everyone else caught their heracross's in crystal?

[>Bent<]

In pokemon Crystal, to catch a Heracross, are there any particular areas that it is the easiest in?There are two types of Headbutt trees, based on their location. One set is called "Mountain trees," and the other is called "Forest trees." Heracross is found in one of these types of trees. I got mine by Headbutting in Azalea Town.

Thanks for that - that's one of the areas I've been trying, so I'll continue there =]

Yeah, he's found in mountain areas... Apparently. But I havent seen one and I've been searching for 14 hours.

But I'll keep trying in Azalea Town
Thanks

[Charizard Rep]

Ah, I've given up on the heracross... 30 hours of searching and no luck

My game cartridge must be programmed wrong or something

I looked in silver - Saw about 10 of them in 3 minutes

God that was annoying after all those days of searching in crystal. Hehe.

Oh well, now I can trade one over.

Thanks anyways for the help. =]

[pkmnerd]

I know this is a very easy question, but how do you get surf in pokemon red? It's really confusing to me :paranoid: , do any of you know how to?

Thanks,
pkmnerd

(that does not suit me but oh well!)

[>Bent<]

You find Surf in the Secret House, in the Safari Zone (Fuschia City).

[jammi567]

But you have to get there within 500 steps, otherwise, you fail, and are taken back to the entrence

[Sean]

u can always get someone to trade u a surfer if you're really struggling

[Forgodo]

Hi everyone, I remember several years ago, when the color versions were the unique ones, There were lots and lots of rumors about secret pokemon, mew, missingno etc. There was a rumor about the "Masterball trick", if you pushed a combination of buttons while you threw a pokeball, the pokeball acted like a masterball so I had and have a yellow version and when I was playing, in one of my captures, I pushed a combination and I heard a sound, I holded them and the pokemon was caught, my question is...
Do you know if that rumour is true? That I heard was an ilussion? xD

[Canine Munch]

I don't think It is actually true, But then again I could be wrong, But I cant see why Nintendo would put a combination of buttons in the game in order for the ball to act as a masterball.

[PhilVidler666]

I think that only people who have cheated on their cart can do the combination.

[Forgodo]

The combination was "up + B" or "down + B", don't remember but I'm sure it was one of these two, and it happened to me twice, so it's why I am asking, my cart wasn't altered in any way

[PhilVidler666]

Well, that's strange. I'll test it. Give me a minute.....


Nope, it doesn't work on my cartridge. Sorry mate, I can't help you out here...

[>Bent<]

Button combinations never work for Poke Balls. Capture rates are given by mathematical formulae that never change, other than variables.

[Forgodo]

I know there are formulas but I thought... with all the bugs that there was on the older versions why not that trick? It seems the sound I heard was an ilussion, how frustrating xD.
Thanks for your time guys

[aman]

hello im currently stuck in goldenrod city and i need the basement key ,can you help me?

[Kraka-chan]

Ah, it's been a while since I've played this.

I think you get the Basement Key from battling the Director (or rather, the imposter) from the Radio Tower.
You should be at the point in the game when Team Rocket takes over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, if not, you'll have to wait till later.
