Is it possible to get most of the Pokemon in Pearl without trading?
 
I know that Pearl and Diamond have different Pokemon, but I'm wondering if there's a way to fill up my Pokedex (except the starter Pokemon and any Pokemon specific to Pearl or Diamond) without trading? I know that I can stick a GBA game into the GBA port on my DS and do it that way, but I only have Leaf Green and Emerald (no Fire Red, Ruby, or Sapphire), and one DS. It would be too expensive to buy a second DS and all the other Pokemon games, and I don't know anyone offline who plays Pokemon.

Just want to know what percentage of the Pokedex I can expect to fill with Pearl, Leaf Green and Emerald alone, before I begin.

Also, on the DS, does "wi-fi" really mean "be in the same room"? I know that if you have a PSP and a PS3, you can play your PSP online over vast distances. Can the Wii do this with the DS?

Thanks in advance.

no, the ds doesn't connect to the wii the same way as the psp/ps3

Dragonite
 
Hi i don't know if this is in the right place or not as i havent been on here in a long time.

I have a dragonite on platinum that i have had on a lot of games and traded it around. It has the legendary ribon and i was wondering what you get that ribon for. Also i want to increase the attack defense etc on my dragon night but if i use calcium iron etc, it says it wont have any effect and i havent used any on it before.

Its stats are:
Docile nature
Hp 313
Atk 296
Def 203
Sp. Atk 230
Sp. Def 200
Speed 201
its male and is level 93

i would also like o ask when i click summary at the side if the image of dragonite it has an red face i wanted to know what this means.

Thanks

Danny

I think that this needs to be in the Movesets and Strategies section, although I myself have no power to move it and such.

I believe that, since you mentioned that the Dragonite in question has been "traded around", that others have likely used items like Calcium and Iron, meaning that it has hit the peak in which it can take more vitamins. This means you'll have to raise its EVs and Stats through other means.

A typical case of the immunity to Pokerus. Pokerus is a "disease" which can occasionally afflict your Pokemon, although it is not a bad thing. It causes Effort Values (Or EVs) to be gained at an increased level for some period of time, roughly double I believe. Once this grace-period has ended, a small red face will appear noting that this Pokemon once had Pokerus, but has now been cured. This means that it will no longer be able to catch from, or spread the disease to other Pokemon. However, it will still gain double the EVs, making this a very useful way of training Pokemon.

I hope that this helps!

1. Legend Ribbon is a ribbon for indicating Dragonite was on a Team that defeated Red.
2. Use EV Reducing Berries
3. Pretty sure that red face means the pokerus is neutralized, which means it can no longer spread it, but I believe the events are still in place.

dannybates93 February 3rd, 2011 12:30 PM

I ment that when i traded it around i first caught it and traded it between my games a lot and i havent used any of the items on it before and what are ev berries?

Thanks

Kenshin5 February 3rd, 2011 12:59 PM

Ev Reducing Berries are Berries that you give to you pokemon to reduce a specific EV value.

HP Reducing = Pomeg Berry
Attack Reducing = Kelpsy Berry
Defensive Reducing = Qualot Berry
Special Attack Reducing = Hondew Berry
Special Defense Reducing = Grepa Berry
Speed Reducing = Tamato Berry

Griffinbane February 4th, 2011 4:02 PM

If you've battled with it, it's got EVs on it. Get rid of it using said berries listed above.

rstevenson1976 February 4th, 2011 7:53 PM

Ok, It's Friday and I just finished the wind works assignment, so where is the balloon pokemon? drifloon?

Kenshin5 February 4th, 2011 7:54 PM

Is your game clock set too Friday though?

vaporeon7 February 4th, 2011 8:04 PM

Have you tried exiting the Valley Windworks and then going there again?

Sydian February 4th, 2011 8:22 PM

Make sure you have the Eterna gym badge as well.

rstevenson1976 February 4th, 2011 8:24 PM

yeah, set to friday, went in and out of the wind works, and went back to town and back

PlatinumDude February 4th, 2011 8:49 PM

To answer the question correctly, if you beat Team Galactic in the Valley Windworks on Friday, you won't be seeing Drifloon hanging outside the building until the next Friday.

Distortion World
 
How do you get back to the distortion world in Pokemon:Platinum?

CriticalFlygon February 6th, 2011 8:57 AM

After you go to the distortion world you can't go back through the entire thing, only a small part of it when trying to get a special item for giritina.

bmc341999 February 6th, 2011 1:03 PM

But I can't figure out how to get back. How do I get back?

Perriechu February 6th, 2011 2:12 PM

Go to route 214 which is south of Veilstone city.

Keep going down you'll notice the tree's have parted on the east side, go through you'll end up at send-off spring. Keep going until you see a cave entrance, welcome to Turnback cave. Make you way through the maze and you'll see a small portal enter it and you'll basically be led to the Griseous orb, once gotten make your way out (:

bmc341999 February 6th, 2011 2:22 PM

Do you know the exact directions? (Ex. up then right then left)

For what? Turnback cave?

Nope :| I'm pretty sure its random, and it's not that hard. Every room press A on the statues, the higher the number the deeper you are. :]

I thought it would be impossible but' its pretty easy, BRING REPEL.

bmc341999 February 6th, 2011 4:03 PM

How do you in pokemon Diamond get to turnback cave?

But my heartgold guide said I can it at turnback cave in pokemon Diamond!

Your doing this in Diamond? >_> Eh?

For Diamond/Pearl it can only be accessed once you have the N-Dex and have beat the Elite 4.

For Platinum it's how I said before.

ltsang February 8th, 2011 7:57 PM

I was recently playing diamond a month ago and then I stopped. I'm stuck at the orangeburg city. I wanted to know how do I go to the next town with all the rocks blocking my way. I don't have rock smash and I don't where to get it.

Kenshin5 February 8th, 2011 8:04 PM

Get it from the Hiker at the Mt. Coronet Entrance West of Orgeburgh if I remember correctly.

Monsieur Monkey February 10th, 2011 8:08 PM

Sorry to bump with a boring request, but I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me determine my Secret ID for my copy of Pokemon Diamond.
