I need to see Phione to complete the Sinnoh Dex... Any ideas where I can see Phione? :/ (In Platinum)

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Phione isn't in the Sinnoh dex, so you don't need to see it to complete it.

Oh my mistake. I hadn't seen the Pokémon which comes after Manaphy in the Sinnoh Dex so I thought it was Phione lols Just realized it was Rotom xD

Since you've seen Manaphy, if you ever want Phione just breed it with a Ditto. ^_^

Ok, well... every time I play through a Pokemon game I only ever really use my starter, and only catch other Pokemon to be HM Slaves... so, are there any specific 'tips' for being a proper trainer? I'm looking to raise a team of four.

Hmm... it better not be tedious and repitive wild battling...

So, I got the National Pokedex on my second Platinum yesterday, so I tried out Pal Park today. However, the "Migrate Pokemon" option wasn't on the title screen, and I had my Emerald in the GBA slot, so what's going on here?

~Prof. W,

Seems no one gave you an Answer, To get the option you have to go to the Palpark and talk to the employee's first, then save, and the option should show up.

A good way to train, that I use anyway, is to exploit the tag trainers. You can find 3 before the E4 and they can work wonders if you do things right. I usually spend hours or days training with them depending on my team. Due to this training I can easily be level 60 by the time I go to the distortion world

To complete the pokedex do you have to catch them all or see them all? (Platinum)

 

[chikorita125]

the national pokedex you have to catch them all, the sinnoh pokedex all you have to do is battle them

So once you have seen the sinnoh pokemon and got the national dex, do more pokemon come into the game?

 

[Fire Wolf]

Yes, when you get the National Dex, pokemon from other regions come to some places.

My friend traded me a jirachi yesterday, and it struck me as odd. It's Japanese, in a pokeball, level 5, and it says Nov.15th, 2007 from Hoenn. Was there a japanese jirachi event or something then?

Well, you would have to tell us the OT and ID number of the Jirachi to make a definite guess of if it was there during the time specified. But, there were Japanese Jirachis given out in Japan at level 5, but I don't think any event pokemon were given out in a pokeball.
Serebii does not have any event records for November 2007 in the archived news, so not much is answerable for. But, he still might have gotten it from an event!

It could be a Tanabata Jirachi from 04, 05 or 06. Here, compare the OTs and IDs: [Click]

 

[Panfisha]

The ID is 50707, so it's from 2005. Pretty cool since my friend just gave it to me just to give me a power belt.

Ok so I have just started Platinum And played my first hour, just want to no does anyone elses game take over a minute to save?

That I believe is the norm as all Platinum games I've played/Looked at do this unless you just entered the PC and then it says "Saving a lot of data..." The reason I think that it does this is because its a big amount of data(the ROM's being about 32mb IIRC) and it needs to save everything you have done.

Ok another question (sorry lol) so I choose Piplup and just wondering should I let him evole at it's natural level or will I have more gains slowing him down? Same with my shinx.
