Would it matter if I did the clock-changing stuff before I got to that point in the game? Like I said I've only just recently beaten the 5th gym leader. Also, What would cause it to erase like that?

Nimbasa Sport Domes. You'll get to battle around 20 people between the two domes per day, all their Pokemon are around 65 and most people have more than one Pokemon. If not, Audino is always good for exp, especially around Giant Chasm where they're at the highest level. Just attach Lucky Egg and boom, instant level gain.

In Undella Bay, you can dive into the sea and you see ruins etc, but then you'll drift back up. How do I get down there?

You need to get through in less than a certain amount of steps so you need to know directly where to go in order to limit your steps.

Try following this map: http://pokemondb.net/maps/abyssal-ruins
It's pretty good and basically outlines where to go if you match it up to the games.

So yeah just dive back down like you did before, hopefully going by the main entrance and you should be at the end of the ruins in no time.

Also, to actually get in, just swim forward once you dive.

Breeding for shinies

So I have a question about breeding for shinies , let me explain .
I've heard that 2 shinies never breed a shiny .
But if I use 1 shiny and 1 normal i can improve the chances of getting a shiny pokemon .

My question is : is the second statement true ?

ps. i think this is the right place to do this sort of things xD

Cheers :D

The second statement is false, to improve your odds on hatching a shiny Pokemon, you'll need a foreign Pokemon, a Pokemon from a game that isn't your language, so if your game is in english, you'll need a Pokemon from Japan, Korea, Germany, France, etc... You'll need to breed this Pokemon with a Pokemon from your game, or at least the same language as your game.

This is called the 'Masuda Method'
More info here http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Masuda_method
Hope I helped :)

I have a question about the move Rest, in B/W. I keep hearing everywhere that they changed it and that it had something to do with the two turns you are asleep, but I can't find anything about it. Could someone tell me what changed about this move? Thanks in advance!

Nothing is changed, though you can no longer use it while under the effects of Leaf Guard. It might be that Rest counters are preserved while switched out, but I was 40% sure that was a feature of 4th gen.

Oh yeah lol. I could have told you that, but I skimmed the thread and I thought you got an answer already haha.

You can also rearrange the colors / buttons using one of the buttons on the bottom of the C-Gear too.

Where to go to get the birthday musical accessory?

Thanks. In Game Boy Advance.

You confused me for a second and made me think you were saying you could play B/W on a GBA, lol.

But I believe it's someone upstairs in the lobby of the Musical Hall.
