    My theory is that the Rock Capsule contains rocks from evolution places in Sinnoh. (=Moss, Icy and Coronet rocks?)

    They are very important, the Enigma rock summons either Latias, or Latios. The other one will be important when we know what it is for,

    That makes sense, but then why is it so closely related to WiFi? Couldn't this thing just be found regularly in the game at some point? Or perhaps it serves as a sort of vessel for the rocks, bringing them over from d/p/pt through WiFi. Umm, I guess I'm just going in circles with this now lol.

    Other than that, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just some scrapped idea as someone else mentioned.

    rndm makes the most sense of it, but I checked the unobtainable Pokemon in HGSS on Serebii, and sure enough, all the Pokemon that evolve in those places are listed. That, unfortunately, disproves that theory.

    I just came up with 2 new ideas:(2nd one is a bit lame)
    1.It unlocks a special stage in the pokewalker
    2.The rock has an amazing power and it has to be in a capsule for not to be unleashed.That power could be something related to the orb that deoxys have or something like that.

    You know, the Rock Capsule could just suffer the same fate as the Red Chain and Magma Rock like in DPPt. It could just be an item mentioned, but not obtained.

    This makes sense, but I believe otherwise. It has already been said that it is obtainable via WI-Fi (curses!) but its not known what it's for.

    Perhaps it serves as a sort of vessel for the rocks, bringing them over from d/p/pt through WiFi. Umm, I guess I'm just going in circles with this now lol.

    This makes sense as well, and could very well be close to the truth, or it could be as far away as you can get, so we'll have to wait and see. I however, think this a very good possibility.

    Actually this seems to make the most sense so far.

    That makes sense, but then why is it so closely related to WiFi? Couldn't this thing just be found regularly in the game at some point? Or perhaps it serves as a sort of vessel for the rocks, bringing them over from d/p/pt through WiFi. Umm, I guess I'm just going in circles with this now lol.

    Thanks guys...and girl. I'm flattered. ^_^

    JP's vessel theory sounds good. When linked to DPPt, the Capsule would arrive automatically. ...But that's highly unlikely. As stated by SilverSmeargleSplatter, Serebii lists Magnezone, Probopass, Leafeon and Glaceon unobtainable. But what if they haven't tried hacking the Rock Capsule in and somehow interracting it with the four pokemon above? Well, if it worked, a line of text relating to it would probably have been found from the game's data.

    Oh btw, I haven't seen Rock Capsule's in-game description on this thread. It's supposed to be this: "A tough capsule that must be opened with a special key." From Serebii's HG&SS Discovery thread. Coronis took that from the game's script.

    Very early on it was brought up that mew, celebi, and jirachi are not connected to a rock, this is false. Anime Canon leads me to believe that Jirachi was from the 'Millennium Comet' and needed to be returned to a cave in a region that was previously believed to be hoenn until it was made clear that there was no jirachi event/location in r/s. Perhaps the region was johto/kanto? although, it could be completely non-game-canon, i.e the town in 'the rise of darkrai'

    If it's a lock capsule, perhaps it's a non-sinnoh way to get rotom?

    There is so much anime canon featured in HG/SS. That was a silly thing to say.

    ..and, though Silph.CO elevator leads to the new forme change room, it does not lead to a Rotom, does it? I was saying that it may be like a part for the power plant that leads to a room where a Rotom is kept, I may remind you, Rotom is not legendary, rare, not legendary.

    This could be it, but it again, maybe it's really wrong we'll just have to wait and see.

    This seems unlikely, but it could be something to do with that machop building the house in Vermilion City.

    I love it how, when put in the right order, quotes just answer themselves :3

    There's still no word on serebii.

    Strange that its so hard to figure out. I thought it was related to Latios & Latias. Maybe it could be the whole evoulutionary rock theory or something we havent even though of yet.
