She should be trying to give you a Pokémon egg, but I am guessing that you have no empty slot in your party if you are not receiving it. Should this be true, then go and deposit a Pokémon into your PC and then talk to her.

You can access the Bike shop after she leaves.

Do you mean the entrance to the right of the A?

If you alter the internal clock on your DS to the next date, your swarm will change. However, there is no way to change to swarm while keeping the same date.

Yup, right there is where I entered from!
Sorry I couldn't quote it wouldn't let me with the picture there.

Well to get to the top of the cliff, you need HM 3 (Surf) and HM 8 (Rock Climb). When you enter Mt. Coronet from the left of the A, indicated in the picture, you will see a path of water going towards the left. Surf along it and follow the path until you see a place you need use Rock Climb. Use it and follow the stairs leading to the second floor. Once in the second floor, make your way towards the bottom left hand corner of the room (it should be fairly simple to make your way there). You should see a doorway leading to the doorway indicated on the left side of the A in the picture.

I think this is what you're asking for.

 

[cyan.]

Yes but it's blocked by a wall.

 

[Azonic]

If it's a rocky wall you're talking about, use Rock Climb.

Note there, in the second room.

Hiya guys. I'm rather new to the Pokemon scene (in the sense that I've never really taken it seriously, which I am now).

I've just recently recieved a Totodile over WiFi, and I trained it into a Croconaw. Well, I decided that I wanted more Totodiles, so I began to breed a Marril and the Croconaw. I've raised about 13 19 eggs, and all of them have been Marrils. What am I doing wrong?

What you are doing wrong is that you don't have a female croconaw or ditto.
all female pokemon in the breeding is what the egg will be.

If I battle someone over wifi who is using a Legendary, will they register on my pokedex or not? I want to be able to request for them in wifi, but I can't since I haven't seen them.

 

[World King]

Seeing a Pokémon in a Wireless battle, Wi-Fi battle or the Battle Tower will NOT register it. You'll need to get it traded, or migrated from one of your GBA games, if you have any (if it's a Gen. 3 or earlier Legendary) ​

if a pokemon traded from a hacked game is hacked,will my game become hacked too?

 

[Stuart444]

umm, no.

Just because someone trades you a hacked pokemon, doesn't mean your game becomes hacked or anything like that. All it means is you have a pokemon that was hacked into someone elses game (best way to explain it really, correct me if I got any of that wrong though ^^ )

 

[World King]

No, you didn't get it wrong. Only the Pokémon's hacked. Not the whole game. ​

What's a TRU pokemon?

For instance, I see a lot about TRU Dragonite, but I have no clue what that means.

 

[Gerri Shin]

TRU stand for Toys R Us. the toy store in the US that usually hosts nintendo events.
