The Underground
 
This is a discussion about the added feature to pokemon: The Underground.

has anyone had trouble with the collapsing walls when you cannot collect your items? have you ever laid traps, and stepped into them by accident? or have you left spheres and forgot where they were?

well, the first time last year, i found a lot of Plates underground. found every single one apart from the Stone Plate. found quite a lot of useful items too, like revive :P

8 times out of 10, i find all items before the wall collapses. some of the walls look impossible with nearly all rocks on them.

i have even stepped on a few traps which i couldnt see, like the hurl trap XD

so, you can discuss away everyone. :)

it really annoys me when i see a fossil and i try to dig it out and the wall collapses before i can. I HATE THAT!

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:20 PM

The only time the walls callopsed was when i turned my game off prematurely due to a battery death but other then that i was able to get everything out.

Aza.M May 30th, 2008 12:23 PM

Underground is quite fun but getting fossils stuff like that is hard but its worth it in the end

Toblerone May 30th, 2008 12:23 PM

Good idea to make a thread like this!

Anyway, one time i was REAALLLYY badly looking for Old Amber.. it was taking ages!! Then, finally, one appears under the wall! I frantically (and carefully!) try to chip away the pieces bit by bit, last few pieces of rock left, and yes, you guessed it, it collapses! Really bugs me!

Kratos_Aurion88 May 30th, 2008 12:24 PM

I have like 14 Fire and Thunderstones...meh.

Circuit May 30th, 2008 12:24 PM

I really hate the collapsing walls when I'm trying to dig out shards, plates etc.

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:28 PM

Well i find it is highly effective to use the pick axe and scout out the area around the walls looking for important things like fossils and stones. After doing that i make sure i use the pick axe to the best possible way tapping and making x's where the fossil should be and picking around making the fossil uncover faster by picking next to the x's i make

Circuit May 30th, 2008 12:30 PM

How d'you make an X? All looks the same even when you chip away at it.

Joey the Cockroach May 30th, 2008 12:32 PM

well, ok. i will show you a hint for which you can get certain items out without making the crack longer. i will show you a grid here:

1. yellow cracked soft rock, can see a little bit
2. yellow soft rock
3. cracked grey flat rock
4. flat rock
5. small rocks
6. big rock

2 2 2
2 2 2
2 2 2

for this, use the pickaxe on the middle 2. this will make it

2 1 2
1 0 1
2 1 2

this will make you see what is underneath the 1's. if it is grey, hit one of the 2's or higher which is next to the 1 to uncover that square because it may be a dark block in disguise. if it is black, green, red, blue or white, you have found something.

sorry if i havent worded it properly.

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:33 PM

When you are using the pick axe it makes little xs on the wall and breaks away the rocks around it slowly. when it is dark grey and light grey little X's appear on the wall don't ever hit the x's it causes the wall to fall apart fasther

Joey the Cockroach May 30th, 2008 12:37 PM

exactly. those are the grey ones which are the dark blocks. another hint i must add:

4 4 4
4 4 4
4 4 4

this is with using the hammer. if you use the hammer on the middle 4, it will make it a 2, and in other directions apart from diagonally, for which it will be a 3, like so:

3 2 3
2 2 2
3 2 3

when you come to this, dont use the hammer, use the pickaxe because you may hit a dark brick in the middle, thus making the crack longer than what the pickaxe would do.

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:40 PM

No i was refering the breakable bits of the wall still not the grey underneath it all

Joey the Cockroach May 30th, 2008 12:41 PM

oh i see what you mean now, i have never done that i dont think.

Circuit May 30th, 2008 12:43 PM

Ok.

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:43 PM

Well my suggestion to you would be to try playing with the pick axe and see what it acutally does

Virtual Chatot May 30th, 2008 12:45 PM

I don't go down there anymore, I already have all the plates and fossils you can get.

I have like 7 helix fossils, lol.

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:46 PM

Well i am still trying to find a sunstone I wanna evolve a hand trained golem into the other form I am not much of a fan of vileploom

Joey the Cockroach May 30th, 2008 12:50 PM

some items like that are very rare, and usually take a few walls. it took me ages to find a fossil, but when i found one, i found 3 fossils in 7 walls.

Golem O_o? Do you mean Gloom because I hate Gloom but I really like Bellosom. Strange how ugly can become pretty.

The character restriction is there for a reason. If you can't post more than 25 characters, then your post is unlikely to contribute to the thread. Please don't bypass this limit in future. =]

Aikochan May 30th, 2008 12:52 PM

Yes I meant Gloom. Sometimes my mind could be a little ditzy

Joey the Cockroach May 31st, 2008 12:28 AM

strangely enough, i havent came across any green shards. came across fosils, other shards, everstones but not green shards.

Cid May 31st, 2008 12:44 AM

Same with me. Never encountered one Green Shard, only orbs and fossils and heart scales and bones and stones.
Also, I get annoyed when you get small orbs only, especially when you're about to unveil a big sphere, the wall suddenly collapses.

Aikochan May 31st, 2008 1:37 AM

Lol i really have no uses of the orbs i just burry em
