    I may sound kinda noob, but... Recently I've been playing with things I didn't used at all, like the Safari Zone and the Pokeathlon.

    But there is something about the Safari Zone I don't get. How does it work? How do I know if I have to throw mud or food? How many times?



    On the other hand, a question about shinies. The rate of shinies are (if I'm not wrong) 1/8912. But, that means one of eight thousand wild pokémon will be shiny, or one of eight thousand certain pokémon (let's say, Magikarp) is shiny?

    The thing is...you can't know. Mud makes them more likely to flee and easier to catch, while food makes them more likely to stay but harder to catch. (Why is a good question =p). Matter of luck, really - not much you can do about it.
    On the other hand, a question about shinies. The rate of shinies are (if I'm not wrong) 1/8912. But, that means one of eight thousand wild pokémon will be shiny, or one of eight thousand certain pokémon (let's say, Magikarp) is shiny?
    The rate is actually 1/8192. ;p And it means that the chance for any Pokemon to be shiny, bar the Red Gyarados, is 1/8192. (As a beside, you could encounter 50 Pokemon and happen on a shiny, or 20,000 and not find one shiny Pokemon - also a matter of luck.)

    THe battery of my pokewalker died, and now I can't play on it anymore :'( So does anyone know where to buy a new battery? It needs to have exactly the same amount of volt & the same size as the original battery >_> I live in the Netherlands, btw.

    If you search cr2032 battery there are multiple results, such as Amazon and so forth. So you can weigh you possiblities through that. Looks like most of them are in the $2 range.

    Unless it is a not breedable group which Charmander is not then it should work. You are not be patient enough then.

    Say I buy a UK version of Pokémon Black. When I'm in America and an event is on at GameStop, will I be able to get the Pokemon on my UK game? I know that with Wi-Fi events I'll have to go with the European events and dates, but with local events, I can get the Pokemon right?

I know that this is the HGSS thread but I want to know what currently happens with HGSS and DPPt. Thanks :)

    For batteries, try going to a local electronics store. If that fails, try to find one of those cheap plastic watches and gadgets, take out the battery, and use it.

    Thanks for the tips but I already know how to do it in D/P/Pt I was asking about HG/SS exclusively.
    on to my question I just arrived at the Safari Zone and got the object placement thing I then placed 28 peak objects in the desert to catch a hippopotas when a trapinch appeared I was a little stunned because Serebii says I must wait 30 days, I waited maybe 3 seconds I tried this in the mountain area too and sure enough a Metang showed up. I just started placing items that day can someone explain how this is possible.
