Storm Knight, Oct 27: Hey, so, uh, I was hoping I could get some help here. I understand there is a way to get LV 100 Pokémon before fighting Brock, but I was wondering if there was a way to get a LV 100 Blastoise.

CodeHelmet, Nov 2018: Lmao, still didn’t fix the one tiny error regarding Blastoise(105 SpD, not 100). Outside of that, looks good so far but I know you have more to add to it(I alone have tons of things lol).

Is it possible to SR for shiny Snorlax on route 7?

lil' starfish, Oct 3: I'm naive then, because some of my recent hunts were in the 20-50 SR/RE range. many thanks! it's definitely gonna pay off, getting real tired of listening to that flute tune over and over.

X/Y or UltraSun/UltraMoon?

The Bellossom boi, Oct 3: X/Y are better games for me, US/UM have a really slow gameplay and a lame post game. Go for the first installment of the Gen VI.

Red

Quiji, Oct 2: I battled him for the first time in Silver version, and lost to him since I didn't know who he was and battled him by accident thinking he was just a common NPC. I didn't save before the battle, so I had to start over from the Pokemon Center.

The Distortion World

Quiji, Oct 2: As interesting as it looked, the feature was wasted since we could only access the main portion during a certain point in Platinum, and then a limited section afterwards that wasn't nearly as fun to navigate through as the main section.

Hardest battle on BW.

Quiji, Oct 2: The battle against Shirona/Cynthia in B/W is one of the hardest non-Battle Subway battles for me. Her team is perfectly balanced, which means that you need to cover all the bases when you battle her. Sweeping her team is usually out of the question.

Pikachu's Beach

Quiji, Oct 2: I played the mini-game several times when I had Yellow version, but I wasn't very good at it, and I got tired of it after a dozen or so tries. It's a nice addition to the Gen I games if you enjoy mini-games, but I thought it was mediocre at most.
