Finding out HG/SS SID

Hey guys!
Merry Christmas!

Could somebody help me get my SID number?
I had it some months ago, but I lost it, and the lottery japanese page is down atm.
Please contact me so we can arrange a pokemon trade for you to figure out my SID number.

Thanks in advance!

If you want a trade to find that out you may want to look at the quick thread thread in the Trade Corner section, just so you know.
 
Which stats should I EV train for my Togepi?

Which stats should I EV train for my Togepi?

I have a lv. 1 Togepi that knows Nasty Plot, and I want to use it to absorb hits, use nasty plot, and then baton pass the sp. atk stat boost to my Alakazam. What stats should I EV train togepi to make it survive the longest in battle? HP? or a combination of def and sp. def? or maybe all 3 a little? Any help or advice is appreciated! thanks!

Well, before doing anything drastic (I.e deleting your save) I'd try turning off all the cheats you have on. (It's happened to me, this method worked) and then just seeing does that work. If it doesn't, you may have to delete your save file. But you should wait to see if someone else has an opinion. :) Hope it works.

Well to make a Pokemon have better chance at surviving hits from everything I'd go for Hp. Since you want a bulky Baton Pass set I'd try this;

Togekiss @Leftovers
Evs: 252 Hp / 228 Def / 28 SpD
Calm Nature (SpD+; -Atk)
Ability: Serene Grace
-Air Slash
- Wish/Roost
- Nasty Plot
- Baton Pass

(SpD = Special Defense, btw (: )

Hello, I couldn't find a help thread in the Challenges board so this is my next best bet ^.-

I'm currently doing a Single Monotype challenge on Pokémon Diamond for the Water type. So far I have Prinplup, Magikarp [training up is so fun] and a Shellos. But I can't really think of 3 other members :/ I was thinking of Quagsire but I'll already have a Gastrodon, and I want the dual-types to be as diverse as possible.

Any suggestions? :D Thank you!

You could trade over a Lotad or something? ): Water/Grass type should help you out pretty well. Or, if trading isn't something you want to do you could try Barboach? It and Whiscash are Water/Ground type. Then there's Tentacool and Tentacruel, Water/Poison. This link ->click me<- can help you. It's a list of all Water Pokemon available up to Diamond/Pearl.

Thank you very much, that list is very useful! :D I can't trade at the moment, unfortunately :/ As soon as I get to the Great Marsh I should be okay!

Potentials:
Golduck
Vaporeon
Azumarill
Lumineon
 
How are you supposed to beat the damn Kimono girls? They're impossible. How do they even have level 38's? I've fought every trainer in the game and am averaging about level 25 on the Pokemon I mainly use. So what the hell. I beat Claire out of pure chance, btw.

I'm not sure how you're only averaging 25 at that stage in the game unless you have a couple of Pokemon at a very low level in your party and you're including those in the average. ._.

Maybe you skipped some trainers - note that there's the ocean route after Olivine that may hav a couple more trainers, and there's some other ones that you may not have encountered in Union Cave (try exploring it again with the use of Surf) and surfing south of Goldenrod too. And don't forget the trainers on the route south of Blackthorn (it takes a few visits to get to them all). You can also rematch trainers via the phone if you don't want to grind on wild Pokemon south of Blackthorn - more on when to call who from this link.

Adding to this, don't forget all the trainers that are on the other side of the Cianwood gate, towards the Safari Zone. :) Can you surf south of Goldenrod? :o

Yes. More specifically, on route 34 starting around the same point as the Day Care centre on the water to the west of the route. Heading down leads you to (besides some hidden items along the way) three trainers with water types, two combining for a double battle. They were there in GSC too and give you a Soft Sand for your troubles.

As you may tell I remember too much about the games. =p
 
Jeez. There sure is some strict moderation around these parts, no?

Anyway... I managed it. What I did was went and caught Entei and Raikou. They obliterated them, got me my eighth badge, helped me catch Lugia, and the three of them blew through the Elite Four without much trouble at all.

It sort of sucks because I didn't want to just use legendaries through the game, but I've had no option. :(

Well, the first post does state that this thread is only for questions and answers, not for telling us how you used legendaries because grinding was too hard for you. If you want to speak about things you've done in the games, please use the Travel Journal thread sticky, but not here as it's off-topic. Rules are rules after all.
 
game corner problem

everytime i try to play the game the screen stays black and i have to turn my ds off to get back out... is there somethin wrong with my game card or am i not waiting long enough?
 
Going to move to the help thread.

Firstly, are you using a legit game? It could be an issue from using a rom (particularly if it is not patched because of anti-piracy coding). And if it is a legit game, then check there's no dust/etc in the cartridge/ds. Does any music play, what is the exact point of it blacking out? It isn't a long transition at all in normal circumstances either, should just start basically right away.
