The Simple Question & Answer Thread

[Sydian]

Unfortunately, this thread doesn't answer those questions. I think there is an action reply thread that's stickied in this section, though. And there's always Google.

[Konekodemon]

I've checked Google, and it only gave me the codes for the english games.

I'll ask my other question then. On Red/Blue/Green/Yellow what do I have to do to be able to trade between versions. Cause I'm in Pewter and I still can't enter the trade Center.

[Sydian]

I think in those games you might have to have the first badge at least. I never traded back then, so that's just my guess.

[Konekodemon]

I have the first badge and it's still not letting me trade.

[Sydian]

You have to have a Pokedex.

[Konekodemon]

I do have a Pokedex, on both games. And I have the first badge on both games.

[jigglyppuff8]

Do you have at least 2 Pokemon in your party in each game?

[Dr Gregory House]

Well, I just started red version... with a charmander... where can I get a pokemon to beat Brock?

[scyfer]

well nidoran (male) would do fine, you can catch it on route 22, east of viridian city, or nidorna (female), whichever, male is more common on red

ah sweet, thanks. I'll be sure to get me one of them

[Shrimz]

Where can I get poliwag in silver version.

I see people talking about ruins of alph and you need to catch with old rod but idk where they are talking about...

[Sydian]

Route 6, 22, 28, 30, 31, 35, 44, 43, and Ruins of Alph. Serebii says "all fishing" which I assume means all rods.

[scyfer]

yeah right outside the ruin of alphs, with the fishing rod you get in the pokemon center near that cave.. before azaela town, very detailed right? :D

[Skaterzpenguin]

I just recently caught the Lv.50 Snorlax in my Crystal. Should I keep it on my team and work my way up. (I have 5 pokemon so If i do keep snorlax. it'll be my 6th) If so, what move set should I give it? If no, then tell me why. Thank you who ever answers this. ;D

[scyfer]

depends on what your other 5 are

I have Feraligatr, Arbok, Lanturn, Skarmory, & Machamp.

[scyfer]

yeah well i guess you should, its special defense will really help you out, and having a 6th pokemon doesnt hurt

I have never managed to hook a Poliwag with a fishing rod of any kind. Your best bet is to just surf on certain waters. Water in Violet City and to the east are reliable spots to find Poliwags.

Okay, thanks a lot, but whats a really good move set for Snorlax?

[Sydian]

There's always Bellylax since this is Crystal we're talking about. Or a Rest abuser.

Something like

Curse
Body Slam
Rest
Belly Drum

Not entirely sure, though.

[FireRed Supergiant]

Can eggs be traded in GSC, or do I have to breed them in the game I want them to have as the OT?

[mondays suck]

They can be traded, i've done that before. But of course you must have >1 Pokemon in your party, since you can't run around with just an egg. The OT is not who obtained the egg, it's who hatched it.

[TheNameLess]

Can you actually let a pokemon evolve by giving them rare candy's (and is this allowed in a monotype challenge)

I was wondering because the evolution of togepi is partly flying and I need flying pokemon for the challenge, however I can not train a togepi as it is not flying.

Thanks in progress.

[Swift!]

Yes. If you level up a Pokemon with rare candies it will evolve, and I'm pretty sure it's allowed in Monotype challenges. You'll have to ask the person running it though. But! Togepi evolves into Togetic via happiness, so you can't just keep giving it rare candies and hope that it evolves. You've got to max out its happiness and then give it a rare candy.
