I'm stuck at the Deep Dark Cavern. My pokemon are Pikachu, level 57, and Charmander, level 56. Should I keep pressing on until I make it, or give up? Creselia keeps slowing me down and using my Reviver seeds.

Any advice at all would help me.

Edit: Also, what does it mean when things like this pop up? "Cresselia took a deep breath" "Staryu Blinked"

Do those serve any purpose?

Staryu blinked means its ability Illuminate activated, so that means one more enemy appeared somewhere on the same floor. As for Cresselia's deep breath, it means she recovered 1 PP for one of her moves.

I think it's better to store away all your Reviver Seeds and other items for the time being, train in the dungeon till you drop and are kicked out, repeat, until you feel confident.

Oops. I already lost EVERY good item I have. My two mains are 1-2 levels away from sixty. I got to Darkrai all like: "Yeah! Finally, you're going to get owned for all the stuff I've gone through!" Eight other pokes appear: "Aww, #$%!"

I still can't beat it...:(

Edit: Do I really need to RECRUIT Palkia just to evolve? If so, please tell me it's not that hard.

Another Question: Is it possible to change your pokemons nicknames? I really want to rename my Pikachu...but IDK if it's possibe.
An evil plan that includes sending a L17 Ratatta against a trainer who has already beaten 7 gyms, the usual. Those evil bastards. ;)

Yes both Palkia and Dialga are necessary for evolving

Nope I guess...
The name ya chose at the start will remain

The only way to change it is if Pikachu is un-named and you evolve it to Raichu.
It'll give you the option to give a nickname.
But if you have already given Pikachu a nickname it isn't legitimately possible to change it.

If you mean PMD2, no Arceus is not in that game.
At the time when PMD2 was released Arceus was not officially released yet, so it wasn't implemented into the game.
In Explorers of the Sky I believe you can recruit it, but only through a special event.
I don't know if it's true...
I read that Arceus will be in game only as statue which gives ya something special...

On the site I looked on it said only Palkia. It said nothing about having to need Dialga too.

And lucky me! I named my Pikachu Pikachu, I'm sooooo happy!

I just checked SPP and it says only Palkia...
But I think I had to have both...
Maybe I'm just legendary collector :D

I see... maybe I was blinded by the sentence "that evolutions aren't allowed because of TIME and Space issues".

At that point in the game Dialga was in Primal mode. So he was distorting time due to his rage and time needs to run normally for evolution to take place.
But you only have to defeat Dialga, mainly because he's in Primal mode when you battle him.
After his defeat, Dialga returns to his normal state of mind, therefore time runs as it should.
You see?
