Where is a good training area for the elite four?
My team is:
Meganium: lvl 42
Ampharos lvl 48
Gyarados lvl 39
Sandslash lvl 40
Ho-oh lvl 47

 

[Yusshin]

Outside the E4 in the grass is where I trained mine in G/S/C and I think Hiiro suggested that in the old thread, too.

 

[Winson]

Is there any information that I would need to know before getting Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver? Like is there anything different gonna happen depending how I start? (Like which fossils you get in Pokemon Platinum depending on your Trainer ID)

 

[Yusshin]

Winson, not really, no. ID and such doesn't really determine anything in-game.

^ I said this earlier...

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

where can i find heart scales in heart gold?

i need to remember some moves

Rock Smashing.

Which island do I enter at to get to Lugia (Whirl Islands)?

The one in north-east and go across the northern ledge. But if you take the south one you can find lots of useful items.

Hey is there somebody in heartgold that tells you what your pokemon's hidden power is? That would be nice for when I try to get a zapdos.

You can use as well Bulbapedia's HP calculator.

Is exeggcute catchable in soul silver? I've checked and people list locations but then under rarity there are question marks or "none" - making me skeptical.

Well you have to use Headbutt.

Victory Road. It's filled with Graveler and Onix so Meganium, Gyarados may find it nice since their attacks are super effective.

Ok, so does is the nature for roaming pokemon like Raikou set after you release them from the burned tower, or when you first encounter them? If the latter, you should be able to use a synchronizer, correct? Also, I have read in several places that if you KO roaming pokemon, like raikou and entei, if you beat the elite four again, they will begin roaming again. True?

Also, I finally caught Raikou, just to see what crappy nature I would end up with. EEK, its Gentle (+spd -def). I found out that you can reset the legendary beasts back to the burned tower using action replay. Do you think it would be ethical or legitimate to use a code to do that, since I accidently encountered Raikou and saved? I really hate cheating, and I've never used AR before, but It's not like I'm using it to make the pokemon exactly the way I want it, or even to set its nature when I encounter it. I'm just making it like I never encountered the beasts. I'll be capturing it completely legitly, soft-resetting and synchronizing for the right nature.

Thanks for you answers and opinions,
Ken

 

[Yusshin]

I, too, read about KO'ing them and them roaming a last time after the E4. I'm not sure if it's true, though.

As for using AR, I wouldn't do it, since I accept responsibilities for my mistakes (even in-game), but if you're comfortable with it, go ahead I guess.

This is a Pokewalker question.
With the Yellow Forest event coming soon, seeing as i need 10k steps to have a chance at getting a flying Pikachu, i was wondering if that 10k steps is all in one day or a total of the days you can have a Pokemon on the walker.

Thanks in advance.

 

[chaos11011]

What are your thoughts on Slowpoke?
Worth raising?
And what about Stantler and Magmar, while you're at it? =/

I raised a Slowpoke acctually.Its really annoying until you get surf then its good for the first few battles.Then it gets annoying again until you evolve it.I evolved mine into Slowbro and its a beast in defence and is now a worthy member of my team

Watts accumulate over time. You don't have to walk 10,000 steps in one day. Just make sure you step enough to get the necessary Watts transferred to your game before the event.

Hey
How do you clone with a Action Replay in Heart Gold

 

[bobandbill]

Action replay questions aren't actly allowed here per say... I'd suggest checking the emulation/hacking forum section or just googling for them, really.

ok sorry I thought those kind of Action replay codes are allowed to be asked here.

Okay thanks!
I have a Slowpoke right now, level 22, and it annoys me to death. I can't find any good TM's for it, either. But I will raise it to be a Slowbro! c:

He was referring to the amount to the amount of steps it takes to actually encounter the pikachus and the answer is yes you need 10,000 daily steps in order to encounter the "A" group of pokemon in the area i.e. getting three exclamation marks when using the pokeradar. Also, unless Im mistaken I dont think you need watts to unlock the forest. Once you download it from mystery gift you just transfer it to your pokewalker.

Okay, so I have all sixteen gym badges now, I've captured Moltres too at Mt. Silver. I still can't get my Kanto starters from Oak, he just offers to check my pokedex, so what's up?

Go to Mt. Silver (on the top) and beat Red then he'll give one to you.

Ah, I knew Red was in the game. Never thought about having to battle him, thanks!

Thanks for the correction. Totally read the question wrong.
