[loucas]

you sure you are not using AR?

 

[mervyn797]

that means your game is corrupted. did u probably turn off the game when it was "saving, do not turn off power" or did you remove the game card when you were playing?

 

[Eruption]

some of my pokemon have effort ribbons does that mean they are fully EV trained?

When you are awarded the Effort Ribbon, it lets you as the trainer know that all the EV's are fully in use. This is obtained by all the Pokémon you might have battled against. If you desire to have the Ev's removed so you can EV train your Pokémon in the certain stats you choose, then you can use the EV reducing berries to help you.

If your DS cartridge gets pulled out while you're playing, does it damage it?? Coz if it does, i'll go execute my brother.

Also, i cloned a bidoof on Diamond, yet i couldn't clone it on Platinum, so it's a D/P glitch.

And hell, i reckon me and blacktux007 probably cloned an event Suicune. Wi-fi kinda froze after he'd traded it to me, so he's probably got one, aswell as me having one, coz i just had to switch it off.

So you're cloning glitch doesn't work in Platinum, but i mighta just found one

 

[groudonlover]

Save your brother, it does very rarely hurt the game.
The only thing that happens is that the DS
1) 90% of the time if the LID is closed turns itself off
2) 10% of the time if the LID is closed or always if the LID is open the game Freezes, nothing worse than that

 

[Amore]

Oh,nowt major then for someone who only saves when they have to (e.g. accessing wi-fi, or going to switch off).


Ok, so, i wanted to restart platinum, so i traded my giratina holding griseous orb to diamond. on diamond, of course, it said it didn't have an item.

I then realised on diamond i couldn't afford the pokeballs to capture 196 bidoofs to trade to platinum in exchange for my good pokes.

So i've now traded Giratina back. However, it still has no held item. Does this mean i've lost my Griseous Orb forever?? Coz i hate Giratina, but at least the Origin Forme was useful in-game

Hey I haven't tried it yet, but is Soft Reseting a safe thing to do? Like it won't erase anything will it?

 

[Serene Grace]

Hey I haven't tried it yet, but is Soft Reseting a safe thing to do? Like it won't erase anything will it?

Soft resetting is perfectly safe as long as you've saved your data before doing it.

 

[Logiedan]

I believe soft reset is safe,as long as you save your game nothing will happen to it. Soft resetting is just a 'shortcut' instead of pulling the power thing.

 

[Amore]

What is "soft-resetting"???

 

[Logiedan]

Soft-Reset is to restart the DS back to the menu without pulling the power thing.
To do the soft reset,I think it is L + R + Start + Select. For Pokemon D/P/PT if you soft reset it'll bring you back to the beginning when you open the Pokemon game. (ESRB Notice,Pokemon,Nintendo,Game Freak,etc.)

 

[Eruption]

This'll sound dumb but how do I get the secret key?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

The Secret Key was received by mystery gift either by going to the event locations themselves like all other events or by receiving it from Nintendo wi-fi connection. The event for both is now over and there is no way to receive a secret key at the moment.

 

[Logiedan]

To get the Secret Key for Rotom:

Read here. But the event to get the Secret Key is over for now.

Unless you cheat for it and use an Action Replay.

 

[Eruption]

Well thats great.

Any idea if its coming back?

Giratina @ Griseous Orb
Naughty Nature
-Substitute
-Shadow Force
-Outrage
-Aura Sphere/Earth Power

Which move of the last slot should be used better? (My own set...) I think Aura Sphere, because it goes X4 vs Tyranitar (X3 with Sand Stream), instead of X.75 with the Earth Power, but more coverage for Heatran... (it doesn't benefit from Sand Stream, however) Any opinions?

 

[TwilightBlade]

According to this article, a Naughty Giratina Origin Forme wants these attacks:

~ Dragon Claw / Outrage
~ Shadow Ball / Draco Meteor
~ Earthquake
~ Thunder / Hidden Power Fire

I would dump Substitute, as you are not using the bulky Giratina form.

And actually, I would find a way to squeeze in Aura Sphere, as nothing stops Tyranitar in that set.

Either way, feel free to head to the Strategy Forum and Team Help thread, as the DPPt forum doesn't specialize in movesets.

 

[Dark Destiny]

Okay quick question, is it possible to trade say Gen 1 pokemons onto D/P/Pt if you haven't got a national dex? I haven't attempted it and I was just wondering if it was possible =/
