The trainer is one of the first female trainers on the sea route north of Sunyshore.

you can also find them at any sea rout W/ a super rod.

!!question!!
in emerald version how do you unlock the regi caverns?? I've goten past the first "sealed chamber" where you use dig on the wall and the doors to theyr caves are open, but theres nothing in them but some braile that sais something about entering thier well.

 

[Legacy Raider]

How is Feebas caught in Platinum. is it the same as in DP?

 

[Carrier]

@sanshroo: There are certain "tricks" you need to perform in each room, described by the braille written on the wall.

Regirock: From the braille inscription (after reading it), go 2 steps left, 2 steps down and then use Rock Smash. The door will open.
Regice: From the braille inscription (after reading it), travel completely around the room clockwise along the walls. Once you reach the inscription again, the door will open.
Registeel: From the inscription (after reading it), walk to the very middle of the room and use Flash. The door will open.

 

[Gerri Shin]

@ Legacy Raider: yes it's exactly the same as in D/P to catch feebas.

 

[8th Wonder™]

How is Feebas caught in Platinum. is it the same as in DP?

Yes, it is caught the same way. If you doubt this, then check serebii.net.

[8th Wonder™]

HOW DO YOU RECORD YOUR BATTLE USING THE BATTLE RECORDER?

I have no idea lol, all I know is that you can still record battles from the Battle Frontier.
Well, since I have no idea, I guess that's my question too... How do you record battles using the battle recorder???

I'm not sure, but I think you have to battle someone over Wi-Fi then go up to the machine in the GTS and say you want to show your battle to everyone.

After a man-to-man battle (Wi-Fi or Local), you'll be prompted by the game whether you'd like to record that particular battle or not.

That's right it is not out in the U.S. yet, everyone thinks it's coming out in the spring of '09 but no one really knows. Platinum has some differences but not very many(to me) they are listed below from wut i can remember:
HM rock climb and defog are found somewhere else
the Regional dex changed a bit
Team galactic seems a bit more evil...>=)
Rebattle gym leaders and those double battle characters
a Member's Card will be released most likely(like in JP) so you can get Darkrai
The legendary birds and golems are catchable...
theres a torn world(ruin world)
a Frontier (5 facilities)
you can save and record battles(wifi, locale, frontier)
you get a little house in the Resort Area...=)
link ur E-mail to get notified when somethings happen
Mini-Games =)...
wow thats a lot i remembered.....but those are the differences between the games that i can remember
