Anyways.. sorry to keep asking.. but this is crazy. I had 8 boxes in my PC for the longest time. NOW suddenly I have 16!!! What just happened?! Is it because I went to the dream world for the first time? o___o I can't think of anything else I might've done..

Once you put at least one Pokemon in each box, it expands to 16 boxes, since 8 isn't nearly enough for National Dex. It does that once more once you have one in each of those, for a total of 24 boxes.

I would like to ask a Gen III/IV/V question, and since it involves my White version I will post it here.

How do you teach both Stealth Rock (Gen IV TM) & Pursuit to Tyranitar?

It's a big problem for my strategy since the Pokemon that can learn Pursuit and those that can learn Stealth Rock are totally different. Is it still possible to teach both moves?

From what I see, you can get a Cranidos or Rampardos from D/P/Pt, teach it Stealth Rock by TM, let it learn Pursuit by level up, and then you can breed it onto a Tyranitar.

If I give the first pokemon in my party a macho brace and then give another pokemon in my party exp. share.. will that second pokemon get the double EVs as well? Or does the doubled EVs only apply to the macho-holder?

Nope, as far as I know, it only effects the holder.

Does anyone know how much time is allotted to beat the given number of trainers on one trip on the Royal Isshu? Also, time spent in battles doesn't run down my timer (before when the ship returns to Hiun City and I have to leave the ship), does it?

In Nimbasa City, and to the left of it, there are people that will give you some props. In the Musical, when you participate, the fans outside will also give you props (if you win, even more so; you know you won if your Pokémon is jumping on the picture). On your birthday, the man up the stairs in the Musical, will give you a prop too, and when you have won about 5-10 musicals, he will give you another one. I think you can get up to 95 props in the Musical / Nimbasa and around it, and the other 5 are obtained in Opelucid. In one of the buildings, there is a man that will give you a prop each day.

There are 100 props in total, and when you obtained them all, your trainercard will get an upgrade!

You can only get 4 in Opelucid City and you get the last one by participating in a musical with another game and by talking to the man in Nimbasa.

Or if I confuse you.

I was told from a friend that if the guy talks to you last (after the show), then you've won. so is that not true then?

I want to restart my Black but does that mean I have to make a new account for Pokemon GL? I can't find an option to delete my game there, I only see add White which I don't have, would that work?

I can confirm that jumping is the sign that you've won, not sure about the guy talking to you last. I would just go with the picture.

No unfortunately, you can only have one Black and one White ever registered to an account. The code transmits if it's Black or White so you can't register a Black game to a White slot I don't believe. You have to make a new account if you want to register two of the same game or restart, unfortunately. :(

I'm sure this is a frequently asked question, but

OK so my White Forest has no people in it at all. It's kind of boring. I know in order to get people there, I need to do entralink with someone using black, but the problem is I don't know anyone with black. So... I'm kind of stuck and don't know what to do.

The other question I have is I DO have a copy of black, but I have not played it and I do not plan to until I get bored of White. If I don't wanna get screwed over like I did in white, how do I make sure that I get people there? Does it go by how many hours you have played the game until you get to Black City, or does it go by the date you started the journey? Either way, I like to take my time when playing Pokemon so I'm afraid I won't get there fast enough and be stuck with a dead Black City.

hey you need to go to black city and talk to the people there and when they ask to come to white forest they will appear on your game in your white forest after you have said yes and returned to your game

If I remember correctly it goes by date. I started my game, took 55 hours to get to White Forest, and had a few people there. My boyfriend got to his in about 20 and had no one, cause he started before me and didn't play much. Kinda sucks because that means you'll have to not take your time, but that's how it works iirc. :(

I'm not sure, it might be true because I read that as well, but you can be a 100% sure if your Pokémon is jumping in the picture, that's what I would rely on.

Also, this is not related to the date or how much time you've spent in the game (thank god lol otherwise I'd never get it). It's the same with White Forest, only the other way around. To get people in your Black City, you need to visit someone elses White Forest and talk to the people there. Some of them will decide to migrate to your Black City. It's true however that in the beginning, there are already people in your Black City/White Forest, but they will move away since you can't come there yet, so that part is related to how much time you spent. Also, when you've got people in your Black City/White Forest, this means that if you don't visit it enough, they will move away again.

Question involving dreamworld
 
I'm sort of in a situation where I don't know what to do. You see I've recently been trying the dram world just so I can get some nice abilities on pokemon whiledodging doing any of that corny little kid decoration, farming and sharing stuff. In particular I want one of the dragonite evolution line because its new ability actualy is realy nice.

Problem is I go the the dream island place (which only lets me in once a day =/) and it's just not showing up. how do I get the pokemon I want to show up? I only find about 2 or 3 every run and frequently they aren't extrordinaraly good.

Is there something I can do to get better finds? any tips?

Oryx September 24th, 2011 12:29 PM

To get to the best Pokemon in the Dream World, you need Dream Points. To get the points, you have to play with Pokemon and farm berries (which aren't useless if you get the good ones, those are EV reducing berries and the only way you can get them). As you can see here, you need 10,000 points to get a Dratini, which means you'll probably want to make friends, plant berries, etc to up the Dream Points you get every time. If you do everything possible you can get around 500 points every day, so that's 20 days of spending the entire hour doing everything to get to a Dratini.

So I've got a Thundurus and Tornadus, both of them are traded and the Thundurus in my game is still roaming. I like to do everything in a more simple way, so is it alright if I just kill the roaming Thundurus so that I can get to Landorus?

It's five whistle blasts, I can't tell you how long it is between whistle blasts though. And no, battles don't run down the timer.

I thiiink that one of them has to be from your game, but someone else should confirm this.

does Pokemon's health and/or level affect the Pokemon's performance at Pokemon musical?

Nope, not at all. I believe that even if the Pokémon is fainted, it doesn't matter.

Thanks!

What's the difference between Assurance (ダメおし) and Payback (しっぺがえし)? Looking at Bulbapedia, it seems they both involve doubling the damage if the user is hit in the same turn. I was thinking about using this move, but first I need to know I can make use of its doubling power effect regularly.

Also, I'm not understanding how "Physical" and "Special" types of moves affect a Pokemon's move power. What I mean is, I always thought Psychic moves, for example, were always only based on the user's Special Attack stat, and that Attack had no relation to those moves. However, if it's a Physical move, wouldn't that mean it'd apply to the Attack stat instead of to the Special Attack stat even though the type of move is Psychic? I found out not long ago how Dragon moves depend on whether it's Physical or Special, but now I'm wondering if all moves are that way.

Only going to reply to the second part, sorry.

Well, prior to generation 4, all psychic attacks were special, but not it relies specifically on the attack itself. So if you were to use Zen Headbutt, a physical psychic attack, the power would come from its attack stat, rather than its special attack stat, while if you used Psyshock, while it is special in nature, it actually uses the opponent's defense stat to determine the power, which is an advantage if they're fighting a special attacker, which usually invests in special defense and therefore an attack attacking their defense would be stronger, if that makes sense. In other words, yes it based upon the attack entirely and not the type.
