Question about my SoulSilver cartridge

Liquid Halo, Apr 14: It appears to be counterfeit to a painful degree due to the misalignment of the title and Lugia's image let alone that Lugia's image isn't supposed to be there. It's late here and I'm feeling too lazy to go through the process of photographing...

Biggest grass patch?

Setsuna, Mar 24: I'd place a decent wager on the large grass patch on the west end of Route 222 being the largest in Sinnoh. Right where the Valor Lakefront connects to Route 222 is a massive patch of grass. There's a pretty large one outside Mt. Coronet on its...

PageEmperor, Mar 8: I’ll bet you all that in the upcomming remakes they will change the trade and make it that she now gives you a MEGA Gengar. Or gigantamax Gengar. Or possibly evn both.

Sinnoh's Fire Problem

Vagabond+, Mar 5: What's funny about this idea specifically is that Growlithe IS on the first several routes of the game if FireRed is inserted in the GBA slot. Vulpix is mid-game if you do it with LeafGreen. Sadly that doesn't work until after the Elite Four has...

Best gen 4 starter in ur opinion?

(2 pages)

ninestarryskies, Mar 4: I always pick Turtwig or Piplup, I'm just not a fan of monkey like Pokemon in general. I've raised a Chimchar once or twice by now though and it's grown on me a little, it is pretty cute for a primate.

Cute charm glitch?

Momoro, Dec 26: First of all, ID shouldn't matter- at least not in my experience. Second, yes, it will work to some extent. Back in my old Pokemon SoulSilver save, I would use an Igglybuff to do the Cute Charm glitch, and it worked like a charm 😂

How do I stop Pokemon from evolving in Platinum?
