The Simple Question & Answer Thread

[invector]

I have heard of the Nuzlocke challenge, but I'm not very comfortable with it, or I'm kinda scared, I don't know.

Is there any way to play D/P/Pt or HG/SS on pc? I'm very used to Visual Boy Advance, and no$gba for D/P is very slow, need that "throttle" button.

If its not possible to play those games in an emulator without a throttle button, ignore those sentences.

I can give the Nuzlocke challenge a try...

[Sydian]

1, You probably need to ask in the emulation section. 2, This is the advanced generation section, so asking about DPPt and HGSS here is a no no anyway.

I need an advice. I started playing Pokemon Leaf Green again, and I don't know what water type I should use. Last time I used a Seadra.

What should I choose between Vaporeon, Cloyster, Poliwrath and Kingler ?
thanks

[Fire Wolf]

I'd recommend using Poliwrath, its strong, has two nice STABs, gets a good typing and is bulky too. But as it's obtainable only with a good/super rod, Vaporeon is good too.

You can also choose Squirtle as your starter.

[Flare Riqueza]

Depends what you want.

Vaporeon's fairly defensive while being able to deal out decent damage.
Cloyster won't take a special hit, but no physical attack will get through him.
Poliwrath's fairly average all round, so can be tailored to your needs.
Kingler is meh. Inferior to them all. Not as much defense as Cloyster, not as much attack as Poliwrath, and rubbish special stats and speed.


I would advise Vaporeon. It's probably the best out of the 3 eeveelutions available to you, as whilst Jolteon is good, its best moves are in the 4th Gen (Signal Beam, anyone?)

[Aggron1991]

Cloyster is great, although its special stats (especially defense) are unspectacular. Still, it has phenomenal physical defense and its dual water-ice stat is helpful against the E4, mainly Lance. Don't even bother with Kingler. Vaporeon and Poliwrath are strong, but in terms of my own personal preference, I've always considered them to be kind of meh.

Also, why not consider a different water type, like Slowbro or Starmie?

Hey guys, I have a question about pokémon emerald: In battle frontier, if I go with a team of lvl 20 pokémon, do my opponents have their EV's maxed out?
Hoping for an answer, Zheeph.

[Flare Riqueza]

Uhhh....they have EVs anyway?

I know if you go with a team of lv.20s your opponents have lv.100s

In most it's set to 50 or 100, and in Battle Dome they alter to your highest-levelled pokemon. Everywhere else your pokemon are whacked down to size to make it fair.

[Amore]

Not a simple question.

More some deep-research-and-simple-mathematics-question.

I own Pokemon LeafGreen.

How many Kanto pokemon can I capture, in-game. Not counting glitches, hacking, or trading.Only out of the original 151.

If I then evolve all the Kanto pokemon I own, how many will I have in my pokedex?

Just wondering, as I aim to get a very complete Pokedex.

Ok, so, I ended up finding out that the lowest they get to is lvl 60 (of course their EV's are maxed out), so the least I can use is a lvl 60 party. Thanks for the reply.

I've been fishing in Meteor Falls for over an hour now with the Super Rod trying to find a Whiscash, and all I'm getting are a bunch of stupid Barboach. According to Bulbapedia, and some other sources, there's an 80% chance of hooking Barboach and 20% hooking Whiscash. Now I've had to search for Pokémon with 1% or 2% odds many times, and it never took this long or this many encounters. How have I not found one yet? Are the odds lower, or do they actually not even appear in the area? I know that odds never gurantee anything, but for a one-out-of-five chance this is just ridiculous.

If I knew this was gonna happen, I would've just caught an extra Barboach and evolved it, but after all this time wasted that just wouldn't be satisfying. So can someone please clarify whether or not Whiscash appear here?

[AliceBlaze]

I mixed records using my Sapphire and Emerald. Now in my Sapphire, the secret base from my Emerald is in the game and I can't even battle the trainer because there's a lot of furniture in the way so I can't talk to it. Is there any way I can delete the Emerald secret base on my Sapphire?

I tried removing the secret base on my Emerald then mixed records again but it didn't work.

[Tsavo]

Well, I've been doing a speed playthrough of Fire Red to get a Calm Clefairy w/ Softboiled and Seismic Toss (here's hoping the ability turns into Magic Guard when I evolve it in Pearl). This got me thinking about other move tutor dependent movesets.

My question is are there any other current Gen. movesets that you guys/girls are aware of that require using FR/LG/E move tutors (besides the typical Seismic Toss/Aromatherapy Blissey)? I keep thinking that there must be something for the Explosion MT. Thanks to anyone who can help me/direct me to a good source or thread.

[Kai Yamato]

Gonna rephrase my question.

Can you receive multiple Upgrades from winning Trainer Tower over and over?

Change your base location or move the furniture around on Emerald then mix records again. It should work then.

Make sure you're in the correct room. Whiscash can be caught with the Super Rod in Meteor Falls on the ground floor or in 1F. If you're tired of looking there, try in Victory road on B2F. Hope that helps. You might consider looking up the map to both areas.

It's not that difficult, however I guess the title of this thread can be a bit misleading, haha.

With LG, the most you can capture in-game (including evolving and excluding Mew and trade evolutions) is 132. If you evolve the Pokemon that are Kanto that got an evolution in gen II, you'll be at 134 (only two evolve from friendship; everything else needs night/day or trade+item). Hope I didn't miss anything in that.

Thanks!


Uhhh....can I evolve an Eevee into Espeon/Umbreon when there is no time system in LeafGreen?

Or do I migrate it and evolve it into an epic pokemon?

[Human]

How do I get the Master Ball in Sapphire? I know it's in Aqua's hideout, but whenever I surf there, it's closed off.

I ask this because trying to catch Registeel is proving to be a huge pain.

Oh, turns out I did some stuff in the wrong order, so I can't get in now because I have Kyogre and have beaten the Elite Four. Great game.

You have to migrate it.
Eevee cannot evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in FRLG. XD;

Well i saved in a house at sootopoolis and now kogre and groundon aren't fighting (or there).
I haven't done the cave (team aqua) or the tower.

Please help!

[Popuri]

Guys: How can I get a pokemon like Totodile to evolve in Fire Red without the national dex? (Or how can I get the national dex before fighting the E4?)

Nevermind, it magically worked this time................

[redsaber5859]

Well, I went to gamestop today, and noticed that fire red cost 30 dollars, RS cost 20, emerald 30, and lg 25, does anybody know why Firered is more expensive than it's counterpart?

[Sydian]

Either because there are less FireReds in stock or because your Gamestop has a wonky pricing system.

[redsaber5859]

That's what I was thinking, that firered is more rare, but many of the AZ and CA gamestops have firered marketed higher

Also, like every GBA game is between 2 and 10 dollars, except Mario advance and pokemon, which are up in the twenties

[KyleSir]

Okay so you guys know of shiny gold? if not google it . Well after i beat the game it turns off and youre supposed to be able to just press start and load up your save game. But i dont have a save game because for some reason whenever i save it says exchange the backup memory and i dont know how to do that. Ive been saving on the vba and i dont know what to do after i beat the elite four. Is there anyway to convert my vba save into an ingame save? any suggestions would help, thanks!

[Sydian]

Um, this isn't really the place to ask for help with hacks. Your best bet is in the emulation section, since that sounds more like a question to do with the emulator.
