The Search for the Elusive Manaphy
Is Manaphy in this game then?
It seems like everyone is wondering where Manaphy is... and no one on the thread knows...
Well, I haven't gotten to that part yet, so I don't know, but from what people have said about finding Phione's egg and stuff, I can think of several possible solutions to the Manaphy problem. Since I don't have a Phione, I can't really do this, so if you have free time, you could try experimenting with some of these ideas.
Maybe you can get Manaphy by...
Breeding Phione?
Maybe they coded it backwards, and Phione breeds into Manaphy? Someone could try...
Breeding Phione with a special item?
Maybe they intentionally coded it backwards, and you have to breed Phione with something like a Sea Incense, Mystic Water, or Splash Plate?
Evolving Phione?
I know the evolution guide states otherwise, but still... maybe try trading with a Sea Incense, Mystic Water, Splash Plate, or just trading alone? Or try evolving it by friendship? Or a water stone? Or maybe it evolves by learning a move or something?
Hatching Phione, then bringing it somewhere?
Like back to where the egg was found, and either Manaphy will attack or just join your team?
Well, I don't know. Those are just wild guesses. You guys can try them if you want to, though.
EDIT: I now officially despise Dialga. It took me 30 Ultra balls (6 times the max amount for any other legendary, inccluding, yes, Arceus) and 4 fainted Pokemon.
