What's a good place to hatch eggs in Unova?

Yeah, Reshiram and Zekrom will be hacks if they are shiny.
Some have stated that Dream World may be where shiny legends can be gotten.
Truth of which has yet to be seen...

Skyarrow Bridge, for egg hatching

Bagon, White Forest

I got a Dragonair from Super Rod fishing on the way to Undella. Route 13?

You can get a shiny R/Z by having a full party and PC when you battle them the first time. The game won't make you catch them and you can battle them again in Dragonspiral tower where they can be shiny.

You can also hatch eggs easily at the Battle Subway as you can go around and around infinitely.

Dratini, Dragonair and Dragonite can be found at Dragonspiral Tower by fishing in the fishing spots.

Actually, an event celebi can only be used once.

Your "another game" will have to get 'that' Zorua by Relocator using a Celebi from a Sinnoh game or HGSS.

Zorua is always male when obtained from that Castelia encounter.
Zorua males can daycare with a DITTO to make Zorua eggs.

Ditto can be caught from Giant Chasm, late game, after E4 defeated.

Just read a guide on evs and im a tad confused whats the maximum Ev points i can share across all stats?

Five-hundred and ten (510) across all stats.

Two-hundred and fifty-five (255) is the most one stat can take.

255 x two stats = 510

Two-hundred and fifty-two (252) is a commonly used maximum for one or two stats. The remaining six points are often trained as a four point in a stat with the leftover two points going "anywhere".

252 + 252 = 504 ... six to go...

Each stat can have 255 EVs, but the most a Pokemon can have is 510. You can have 2 stats maxed out at the most in this way.

Well, I'm trying to hatch a shhiny Heatmor via Masuda method. I would like to know if it's easier to get loads of eggs and then hatch them one by one or get and hatch eggs as they come?

I would be grateful for a response. :)

Probably hatch eggs as they come because while you waiting for the other eggs to be made you are hatching the others.

I generally run around in front of the Day Care. I run around there till I get a full set of eggs, and release any that hatch that aren't what I want. Once I have a full pkmn inventory I go to Sky Arrow Bridge, run along there, and then deal w/ the hatches after. Shiny farming shouldn't be too hard, I'd say stick around the front of the Day Care and just release or store all the non-shinys.

My brother and I are trying to use the Entralink, but we don't know what to do.
So, how do I use Entralink?

Is the RNG not so random?

Why does the random number generator seem so unrandom? Believe me. I've tested this on emulators using save stats and have encountered some very strange things. It almost seems like certain things are pre-determined.

For example, if I set a save state to before I select a move that ends up missing, no matter how many times I reload that state and select that move, it'll miss every time. It's just for that move. I can still select other moves and they'll hit like normal. You'd think the RNG would determine the success or fail AFTER you select the move and it generates the number, not BEFORE you even pick your move.

Same with Pokeballs. You'd think the number (that determines success) would be generated AFTER you actually throw the ball out. But - like missed moves - no matter how many times I reload a previous save (before I even choose a pokeball) the ball will fail every, single time.

Shadow said:

As with most previous Pokemon games, the RNG uses the current time to generate random numbers.

So if you save state and go back to a previous save state, you are using the exact same time to calculate the random number as the last time you tried.

Ah. That makes more sense then. Has there been any Gen V RPG abuse guides created yet? I haven't been able to figure anything out yet.

I want to trade my male Haunter over to White, when I get it, but I dont want it to become a Gengar... If he is lvl. 100 when I trade him, will he still evolve?

You might want to attach an everstone too just in case, which will definately prevent evolution.

forest?
