I used the old version and was able to battle him, I got through and I also caught Reshiram, Zekrom, and all the legendaries except Lugia, Ho-oh, Mewtwo 2.0, and Giratina. Lugia and Ho-oh im not worried about cause you said you'll deal with it, with Mewtwo 2.0, whenever I go into the cave in the Lake of Rage, none of the rocket grunts tell me anything, one says "please dont hurt me" another says "There is still time to leave this place." and the one by the elevator just says "!!!". And with Giratina, I saw a trainer with one and he is number 489 in the pokedex, but I can't find out where to capture him as he isnt in the guide or anything.
Also, when can I access the safari zone in johto because there is a guy blocking the entrance saying something about a secret entrance, and there is a guy in the house saying I cant go through the entrance so I was just wondering if this was for the end of the game. Also, the cave that you go through to access the safari zone from cianwood city doesn't have a warp tile to get back to cianwood. I can go in the cave but can't come back out.
Final question I'm almost done with my pokedex but I can't find these pokemon:
1. Sudowoodo
2. Tynamo (tried breeding eelektrik and didnt work)
3. Lefeon and Glaceon (don't know how to evolve them)
4. Magnezone (don't know how to evolve magneton)
5. Gigalith (dont know how to evolve boldore)
sorry it was so long, I just had a few questions.
