The Tiny Things Thread (Possible Spoiler Warning)
 
Did you notice anything that you don't think anyone else did? Do you have an explanation for some rare occurrence? Talk about it here! :)

I was in the city with the 1st gym, when I went to that garden to the left and saw something in the water. There was a small whirlpool in one spot of the water. When I went to investigate, this old guy at the gate stopped me and it dissappeared. :(

There were a few other thing that I saw, too, but I don't remember what they were. XD

EDIT: I found it again! It looks more like a void (like from the Giratina movie) than a whirlpool... Or it could just be bubbles from things in the water. :P

Those mean that you can encounter a "rare" pokemon at that tile (of course you'd need surf/or possibly a fishing rod for the ones in the water). It also happens with the "shaking" grass and dust clouds in caves. I've caught a baoppu and tabunne because of the shaking grass :)

Thanks. :) I was wondering what would happen if I tried fishing there.

Actually you just surf into it. You don't fish in it.

Wow nice tiny spots to find rare pokemon, the shaking grass is a lot like the Poke radar...I wish they brought that back this gen :(

I wouldn't be surprised if shaking patches have something to do with shinnies as well. This is because there are multiple people saying they found shinies in the patches after walking into them consecutively, which is rather easy to do. You just walk next to the patch of grass, not in it, until a shaking patch shows up. Put on a Repel, and go into it. Then keep repeating the process, and maybe that will increase the odds of getting a shiny.

Just a theory.

That would make sense. I guess, in a way, they did bring back the pokeradar :P; only without the item. I think I'll like it this way.

I have but I will never use it. Catching Pokemon is part of the fun of the game..a bit annoying..but still..

Not exactly sure, I don't really want to know. But I think it's something along the lines of pressing A and Up at a certain time or something?

I found this on another forum while searching :

So apparently they actually implemented a pokeball throw "sweet spot" into the game. That is, if you press a certain button (the A button) right when you throw the ball it's almost a guaranteed instant catch. I always pressed up+B, but whatever
To think what people used to believe helped capture DOES actually help capture now, by theory.

So what I used to think was a way to capture pokemon faster and easier in gen 3 might be true in gen 5...oh the irony :P

Pumpkin Fields September 23rd, 2010 6:35 PM

I know Tabunne is commonly found in shakey grass, but what Pokemon are found in "rare Pokemon tiles" in the water?

something i discovered:

there are some locations with items in Isshu that are unreachable in the Spring season. i changed the date of my DS for the Winter season and a lot of these areas became snowed in, allowing me to retrieve items/houses that i could not before.

We actually know that when they first revealed seasons, I think this was a month before the games came out?

I didn't know that, so why critisize? If it helps 1 person, then it's relevant.

Metang has a capture rate of 3. (The same as legendaries) My team was swept by a lv 65 Metang, trying to capture the damn thing >_>

Resultz September 24th, 2010 7:29 AM

wait, you can find level 65 metang in the wild?!?!
is the Post natDex or something?

I would love for you to point out where I said you didn't know that, and where I said it wasn't relevant.

Oh, I never did?

You see my point then. All I was saying his that he didn't discover it, like he said he did.

Post National Dex.

I love it. Someone found a shiny one on Youtube and barely caught it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IT39RQZiwFM

The rangers have cowboy hats. :)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 24th, 2010 3:15 PM

wow lv. 65 Metag...that's some wild pokemon BW has Post E4...

solarowl September 24th, 2010 10:27 PM

Lv. 65 Metang is cool! I like this better than those level 50 and up magikarps in platinum :).

NecroFlame September 24th, 2010 10:49 PM

I found a Level 62 Metagross in the wild as well in that same area. Very very rare though.
Couldn't catch it though, as it nearly swept my entire team and I was running out of Pokeballs...
I'm still wondering where can I get Ralts in Pokemon White, though.

Nugg September 24th, 2010 11:11 PM

Once, I threw a Pokeball and it only shook once and I caught it. Weird. I think it made a different sound too :/

There is a glitch in the game when you hit a certain key(s) the Pokeball will automatically catch it.
