  • FireRed/LeafGreen English version discoveries/differences

    The English versions were sold today at the New York Pok?mon Center and me and Satoshi-kun have noticed these things so far.

    Additions to this piece are in bold.

    -An old lady mentions that the Sevii Islands are named Sevii because of a belief they were made in seven days
    -Most male text is blue while most female text is red
    -The Sevii Islands are labeled in the game by numbers, not their "confirmed" names (ex: One Island, Two Island, and so on, not Knot Island, etc.). However, names of the island mainlands will show on the town signs of the island.
    -The text is too close to the border on the left >.< Bad Nintendo
    -Unknown Dungeon is now Cerulean Cave
    -The ship that takes you island to island is the Seagallop Hi-Speed 7 (I hate that name)
    - You will recieve an item for winning in the trainer tower after reaching the top.
    - Mystery Gift replaces Mystery Event in the main menu.
    - The Space Shuttle Columbia replica in the Japanese and English Red version was named "Space Shuttle Columbia". It is the same in the Japanese version. However, the English version just calls it "Space Shuttle".

    The Lost Cave of 5 Island

    Ever noticed that the amount of rocks change in every room of the Lost Cave? The amount of rocks tell you the direction to travel. On all even floors go the opposite of the below. If you go the opposite you will have to start all over, but it is worth it because a Rare Candy lay in the midst.
    3 rocks=RIGHT
    6 rocks=DOWN
    9 rocks=LEFT
    12 rocks=UP
    It's like a clock. The 3 is on the right, the 6 is on the bottom and so on.

  • Full credit to YoMama for writing up this guide. More will be added as he sees fit.

    YoMama said:
    I noticed when some of the FR/LG teams were posted that they had stuff like Pidgeot and Raticate. Here are a list of recommended Pokemon found in-game that are worth training. If you think I missed a good Pokemon, let me know. Thanks.


    Snorlax:

    Caught at Level 30 between Celedon City and the Bike Path, or South of Lavendar. Snorlax has increible HP, great Attack, and makes an awesome special wall.

    Recommended moves:

    - Brick Break / Counter / Curse
    - Earthquake
    - Body Slam / Return
    - Rest

    No Shadow Ball since it like never meets Ghosts. Curse is obtained by breeding, and if you can't get it, try Counter. Its high HP is awesome with Counter. Brick Break if you have no other choice. Careful Nature.


    Zapdos:

    Caught at Level 50 in the Power Plant. Zapdos has a great HP, Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed. Its Special Attack on the other hands is awesome. You'll love this thing in-game.

    Recommended moves:

    - Drill Peck
    - Thunderbolt
    - Rest / Thunder Wave
    - Light Screen / Thunder Wave

    T-wave Zappy is cool. Light Screen lets it stand Ice Beams from Loreli much easier. T-wave to criple the opponent. Rest for recovery. Drill Peck because its movepools is limited. Thunderbolt is the bomb on this guy. Neutral is cool for this guy. He needs every stat.


    Articuno:

    Caught at Level 50 at Seaform Islands. Articuno has good everything except Special Defense which is freaken awesome. He's like my favorite legendary bird.

    Recommended moves:

    - Ice Beam
    - Rest
    - Reflect / Sleep Talk / Toxic / Water Pulse
    - Reflect / Sleep Talk / Toxic / Water Pulse

    Ice Beam for a good old STAB and Rest to improve it as a special wall. Reflect to support the team, Steel Talk to make use while sleeping, Toxic if you like stalling, or Water Pulse for another attack. Calm Nature btw.


    Moltres:

    Caught at Level 50 at mt. Ember on One Island. Moltres has about the same Base Stats as Zapdos except Defense and Special Defense Base Stats are vice-versa. Great guy. Awesome. Limited movepool though. Preferbly neutral nature or -Speed Nature.

    Recommended moves:

    - Flamethrower
    - Aerial Ace
    - Rest / Sleep Talk / Toxic / Filler
    - Rest / Sleep Talk / Toxic / Filler

    Limited movepool. That's what really sucks about the birds.


    Dodrio:

    Doduo can be found near Fuchsia City. Dodrio has great Attack, decent Speed, and ok everything else. It soooooooo outclasses Fearow and Pidgeot.

    Recommended moves:

    - Drill Peck
    - Return
    - Quick Attack
    - Steel Wing

    Strap a CB on with Adamant and kill stuff. Not much more to say here.


    Slowbro:

    Caught at Seaform Islands. Great Defense, decent Special Attack, and ok Special Defense and sucky Speed. Good Pokemon though.

    Recommended moves:

    - Calm Mind
    - Surf
    - Ice Beam / Psychic / Rest
    - Ice Beam / Psychic / Rest

    Rest is cool with CM. Psychic for STAB or Ice Beam to cover Grass and Flying and more stuff that Psychic wouldn't usually cover. Bold or Modest Nature for this guy.


    Charizard:

    Starter of course. Decent Special stats and mediocre Defense and HP. Its Attack is ok too.

    Recommended moves:

    - Fire Blast / Overheat
    - Earthquake / Rock Slide
    - Dragon Dance / Swords Dance
    - Aerial Ace / Wing Attack

    Lots of choices just in cases if your's is limited. Adamant Attacking Zard is best.


    Blastoise:

    Starter. Tank thing. Attack and Speed are mediocre and Defenses and Special Attack are pretty cool.

    Recommended moves:

    - Ice Beam
    - Bite / Toxic
    - Rest
    - Surf

    Bite if you want another attack or Toxic to stall. Bold Nature is prefered on this tank.


    Venasaur:

    Starter. It can absorb special hits well in-game.

    Recommended moves:

    - Giga Drain / Razor Leaf / Solarbeam
    - Sleep Powder
    - Sludge Bomb
    - Growth / Leech Seed / Swords Dance

    Sleep Powder and Sludge Bomb are pretty cool. Preferbly Razor Leaf as your Grass atack. Growth for Grass power, Swords Dance for Sludge Bomb power, or Leech Seed to drain. Relaxed, Quiet, or Sassy is cool for this guy.


    I will promise to add more. I got to log off in a while and I'll add more every so often. Sticky would be greatly appreciated. I hope this helps so far.

    If anyone else would like something added, PM me!

  • Getting Ready to obtain the legendaries - Merged in from previous thread.

    The Legendaries already obtainable in RS/FRLG/E using special games/features:
    Jirachi: Colosseum Bonus Disc (US Only, no longer available) / Channel (Europe/Australia Only, by reaching a certain point in the game.)
    Celebi: Colosseum's Japanese Bonus Disc, and PokéPark 2005/2006. Also through the current (as of Saturday June 14, 2006) Pokémon Journey Across America event.
    Ho-oh: Finishing Colosseum and going through Mt. Battle (and reaching the top).

    The Legendaries obtainable after going to events, with Mystery Connection/Mystery Gift turned on:
    Ho-oh: Navel Rock, by obtaining the Mysticticket from Pokémon Centers (2F), after using Mystery Gift near a hotspot. This certain hotspot can be located at certain Pokémon Japanese events, such as the annual festival.
    Lugia: Navel Rock, by obtaining the Mysticticket from Pokémon Centers (2F), after using Mystery Gift near a hotspot. This certain hotspot can be located at certain Pokémon Japanese events, such as the annual festival.
    Deoxys: Hotspot features: Movie 7 promotion hotspots at certain cinemas by obtaining the Premier Ticket (Japan), Pokémon Center event at Pokémon Center New York, or Pokémon Rocks America. Go to Pokémon Center (2F) to obtain Aurora Ticket.

    Emerald-only:
    Mew: World's Edge Island, by obtaining the ticket from a Wireless Hotspot from invitation by purchase of the "Premier Ticket" (which is out right now!) Advanced Generation Movie 3, "Mew and the Wave Guiding Hero". Collect the Sea Chart in the second floor of any Pokémon Center in Houen.
    For the US version: This WILL be different - probably obtainable through Pokémon Rocks America, or Pokémon Center NY. I wouldn't be interested anyway, seeing as I hate "Pokémon USA, Inc.". =P

    Turning on Mystery Connection or Mystery Gift
    English Versions
    You need to have obtained the PokéDex from Professor Oak or Professor Birch, depending on your game.
    1. Go to any questionnaire (a piece of paper) at the Pokémon Mart. Press A and get into the input dialog.
    MysteryGift_01.png
    MysteryGift_02.png

    2. Fill the phrases "LINK TOGETHER WITH ALL" into the questionnaire. Select OK and finish the phrase.
    MysteryGift_03.png
    MysteryGift_04.png

    3. Mystery Gift should be activated. Save and reset.
    MysteryGift_05.png
    MysteryGift_06.png
    MysteryGift_07.png
    MysteryGift_08.png

    4. Connect the Wireless Adapter.
    5. Select MYSTERY GIFT.
    MysteryGift_09.png

    6. Select Wonder Card and wait.

    Japanese Versions
    This is the same from Fire Red, Leaf Green and Emerald. You need to have the PokéDex already.
    1. Go to any Pokémon Mart and look for a sheet of paper. Fill the Questionnaire.
    MysteryConnection_01.png
    MysteryConnection_02.png

    2. Fill the phrases with "Tomodachi ippai fushigi tsuushin" (Many Friends, Mystery Connections).
    MysteryConnection_03.png

    3. Mystery Connection is now activated. Save the game and reset.
    MysteryConnection_05.png
    MysteryConnection_06.png
    MysteryConnection_07.png
    MysteryConnection_08.png
    MysteryConnection_09.png

    4. If you wish to use the E-Reader features (like in RS) don't attach the wireless adapter. If you wish to access Hotspots and such, connect it.
    5. Select "Fushigina moraimono" (Mystery Connection) and choose the appropriate option.
    MysteryConnection_10.png
    PB%5EEmerald_02.png


    Collecting your gifts
    If playing Emerald, it's the same routine as RS for items via E-Reader. But if you're using features from the Wireless Adapter, pick up your items at the Pokémon Center second floor (in Emerald, FireRed or LeafGreen).
