use a guide / walk sinnoh alone
 
just wondering how many of you have ever used a guide or gone online for ANY type of help, or do the game without knowing a thing and EVER using any help online.

Alexstrasza August 19th, 2009 4:38 PM

I used a guide from Mahalo so I knew what Pokémon were in the Elite Four, and how to get through the Distortion World...

Other than that... no

WhiteTux August 19th, 2009 4:42 PM

me, never i have never gotten help, whats the fun in the game is you find cheats or help

Saud-Blaziken August 19th, 2009 4:43 PM

I have I used marriland's guide once

.Seth August 19th, 2009 4:43 PM

I use guides normally, but I'm a bit stuck between the options.
I use guides only when I'm stuck/don't know what to do next.

xxxLatiasxxx August 19th, 2009 4:44 PM

I used a guide the first time I played through my Pokémon Diamond.

Nope, no guide.
Sometimes I read guides before I play them so I know what to do and what not to do. (like, not miss anything, skip events if possible that I can't re-do.)

If I hadn't checked my Ruby/Sapphire guidebook after playing my second time, I would have missed that masterball again. lol

I never need guides for Pokemon honestly. They tell you what to do in the game..
I only need to look at the guide when I need something,like breeding,EV's,Locations and all that.

Mattysaurus August 19th, 2009 5:44 PM

All me..
Pshh.. Easy..:D

IcyArceusRider August 19th, 2009 5:53 PM

In the first game, I usually use the guide. In the second one, I'll not use a guide. For example, the first game I got was Diamond, and I used the official guide when I played that game. But when I got Pearl later, I didn't use my guide. I like the guides--they're useful to have. ^_^

its more exciting if you don't use a guide because you don't know what your going to expect which is fun and thats why I didn't use a guide of any kind

It was easy enough for me to complete D/P/Pt alone without a guide, and I have never used a guide to complete it or any other pokemon game.

Heiheipig August 19th, 2009 8:11 PM

I used Marriland's guide to get to Riley but thats about it.

Camisado August 19th, 2009 11:01 PM

I selected the first option, but only because I will look up gym leader teams up on Bulbapedia so I know how much to train my team and which of mine to put up against theirs.

It's handy to look up where to find TMs and hidden items, too.

donkeyman August 19th, 2009 11:16 PM

Yeah I used bulbapedia to see what pokemon the gym leaders and that would have and what each of the pokemons weaknesses were so I knew which ones of mine would be best. Sometimes I'd be really stuck and look something up then realise how much of an idiot I was lol. (Stuff that I was actually doing but just wasnt doing quite right lol)

groudonlover August 19th, 2009 11:38 PM

The only time i ever checked a walkthrough for a Pokemon game was when i was a little unsure of if i were to go to Spear Pillar now or later, it's a little sad if you go all the way there too soon :D

Rich Boy Rob August 19th, 2009 11:50 PM

I voted "walk sinnoh alone" but I did use Serebii for Platinum, to find out what Pokémon the Elite 4 had. I also sometimes use it to check when things evolve, or where that last damn Pokémon I haven't seen is.

Queen August 20th, 2009 2:47 AM

I never used a guide.
I just walked through Pokemon Diamond.

ninetales09 August 20th, 2009 2:52 AM

i use guides well most of the time

i think they help you more

Eruption August 20th, 2009 2:59 AM

I use guides for things like checking when my pokemon evolves but other than that the only time I ever used a guide in a pokemon game was for a little part of the distortion world.

SquirtleGirl August 20th, 2009 3:16 AM

the only times I used a guide was to check the Diamond Elite 4 [Turns out I had an entirely wrong kind of team alltogether so it was fortunate I did :)]
Oh and when I got stuck on Mt. Coronet in Diamond.

All the other games I've never used a guide (:

xJORDO94x August 20th, 2009 3:21 AM

I did everything on my own, but a few days ago i brought the prima guide because it has the whole national dex in and how to find them.

Divine~Deoxys August 20th, 2009 11:17 AM

I've never used guides in 4th gen. They're all rubbish. I only found the masterball in Emerald by complete accident, was clueless bout what pokemon were good in Diamond, so i just caught them all, the only time i ever used a guide was on leafgreen to find that sapphire thingy in the tower with holes in.
I nearly used one to find my way out of Aqua hideout once, but then i found it after 20 hours.

EDIT: I did use one to find Darkrai, technically, in that i was looking for how to get Rotom formes, yet mystery gift gave me the Darkrai event

sanny the hedgehog August 20th, 2009 11:19 AM

i used it just to figure out where treasures were!!
lol!
