    • Gale of Darkness question

    Well, I recently got a gamecube and pokemon XD( with another 7 games and it is XD's special edition cube, and for a very low price, yey) and I started a new game. So far I've managed to catch the shadow pkm I've encountered, but I was wondering, can a shiny appear in that game? and if I catch and purify all the shadow pkms will something special happen? Thanks for reading.

    • Shiny cannot appear unfortunately, but there's a chance that your shadow pokemon will become shiny once purified ;)
    As for the second question...
    Well... yes. You will lose your Snag Machine (again :D) =)

    I have a question about Pokemon Conquest,and I hope that there is an answer.

    Will Pokemon Conquest let you play as a female character from the start,like the regular Pokemon games?

    Nothing official has been announced regarding PMD. Since we have just gotten two new Pokemon games, (Conquest + BW2) It's highly unlikely to get a new game now. Plus it's Wikipedia, whilst it his heavily moderated for fake information the odd troll can still get in there.

    However it could be true and a brand new PMD game could be on the horizon n___n

    • I've never played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but I've heard great things on the forums yesterday. I was thinking of buying one. So, which would you recommend to start with? Should I just get the most recent one? If I buy an older version, what features am I missing out on?

    I would go and get Sky straight away as it is the most recent. It has more dungeons, starter Pokémon, special episodes and more.

    If you want to buy one then I'd agree with Vaporeon7 to go for Sky ;)
    It has most features like Spinda's Café which is probably the best one ;), most dungeons, most starters (you can play as Riolu! :D) and special episodes are bonus as well :) It also has Shaymin who wasn't in the previous MDs :)

    I would also suggest playing the first MD at least on emulator ;) Red/Blue was the beggining for most of use who love MDs and you really don't want to miss the emotions the first MD gave us :)

    Doesn't matter really - it's a great series and there's not much of a change in gameplay, though the stories are very different and all are a good purchase. Which one(s) can you afford right now? Buy however many you want, or can.

    Ah, EoS. It's very good and has a lot of stories. As I said, if you want to, go ahead.

    Nothing really - though the controls are a tiny bit more inconvenient (if you like using the touch screen) and the story is a bit shorter (the aftergame is longer though), but overall it's about the same value. Not that that's bad, but just consider which points you want the most. If you like story, go for EoS. If you just want to play the game, buy whichever one(s) you can afford, most likely Red Rescue Team. If you want an even balance, EoT/EoD is good.

    How do you defeat Darkrai on PMD OES? Because Cresselia keeps using up my Reviver Seeds and I've got like 30 of them :/ I've never lost to any boss, but I keep getting held back by Cresselia, because she's like lvl 47..
    I decided I might use a Vanish Seed on her... but I'm only at lvl 54, and my partner Pikachu is on lvl 55, and the monster house is really hard XD and also I'm really bored of training up all the time soo yeah.

    I have a quick question regarding Conquest:
    The official website says that the Keiji episode is available for download, but when I try to get it, it says I've downloaded the Ranmaru episode. Does anyone know if this is just a goof-up, or is my game just wacky? I haven't seen much on the topic.

    Thanks in advance!

    That was probably like the hardest battle ever for me, tbh. ): Cresselia can actually be helpful but it depends who she's put up against. When she's near Aggron, Magcargo or Rhyperior you'll have to step in. Idk what your Pokemon is, I just hope it can do something against them lol. Before you start any battling, throw something like an x-eye seed at Darkrai, deal with his minions first. :> Cresselia can deal with Arbok and Magmortar, she may have trouble with Mismagius if it gets a few flinchy Astonishes in. Once that's done use everything you have to defeat Darkrai.

    The Keiji episode has only been distributed in Japan so it's probably just a mix up on the websites part.

    Well you could say what you are =D (By the way Pikachu is pretty useless partner but well...)
    Anyways your levels are pretty low... Training gets boring but I must say if you do interesting missions it doesn't get that boring at all ;)
    I think you should train at least up to level 60 and have some Fighting attack on you.

    To purify XD001 you need to have full speed in all purify places in Purify Chamber.
    Then put XD001 into one of those places and it will be instantly purified. (It's a waste though xD Shadow Lugia is cooler than normal Lugia :D)
    Which Colosseum do you mean, by the way?

    Why can't I get a bad clone in Pokémon Stadium 2?

    Hello everybody, I recently bought Pokémon Stadium 2 to perform the Celebi glitch, but I can't get a bad clone of Sneasel if my life depended on it.

    Whenever I try to do this in my silver version, I end up getting good clones, and I tried doing it on my crystal version twice, but both those times after clicking "WITHDRAW" the screen turns blank and I have to reset the game :(

    What could be going wrong?

    PS: I also tried to make good clones in crystal and I can't make a single one, I turn the power off after "POWER" shows up, but no luck. I've never had this problems with Gold or Silver.
