I'm trying to catch a Combee and have put honey on a couple trees. Do I wait 6 hours or can I turn the clock forward?
 
Turning the clock forward usually mucks up the game and makes you wait 24 hours for the game to adjust its self, I once tried it with Drifbloom event and it mucked everything up.
 
It also doesn't work in Eterna Forest, even though that's outdoors too.

It also doesn't work in Eterna Forest, even though it's technically "outdoors".

Another reason could be that the trainers there have high levelled pokemon. You could abuse that by easily gaining levels before the Elite Four. Imagine versing someone with say....2 Golems and 2 Steelix level 53. An Infernape with Lucky Egg using Close Combat/Flamethrower would level up to high heaven...

quick question, if you are battling online with a smergle and you use sketch, will it keep that move when u get out of the battle, or does it gain sketch again?
 
EV's and IV's

can someone explain to me EV's an IV's?
 
EV's are gained through defeating Pokemon explained here

Pokemon are born with IVs so you have to breed for good ones explained here

There's also an FAQ about this somewhere but i'm not sure where.

What's the difference between Soft Resetting and actually searching in the same place for a shiny? I know that Soft Resetting is for trying to get a shiny that you can't normally find in grass or water but isn't a longer version of going into grass and looking for a shiny?

I heard that the average time for SRing for a shiny is 7-8 hours. So if some people have gone years playing Pokemon and haven't encountered a shiny, couldn't it also take years before you can SR for a shiny?

They're pretty much the same thing. Unless the person searching in the grass is chaining.

I'd like to meet the person who finds shinies at an average rate of 7-8 hours and punch him in the face. I've only seen one shiny in my life, and I've soft-resetted many, many times, for many different Pokemon. Trust me, for a shiny, it's an average of at least a month or two. Come on, there's a 1/8192 chance of finding a shiny. You're not gonna find it in 7-8 hours.

Take a quick glance at HalcyonXIII's sig. *shudders*

I've always chained for my shinies so I was starting to consider Soft resetting for the Hoenn starters. But since the chances don't change, i'll stick to chaining. Thanks.
 
Question on Korean Pokemon and NOK pokemon:

People keep saying Korean games can't trade with other game packs. How does anyone prove this? You can easily say it doesn't work and that spreads like wildfire. BUT WHERE IS THE PROOF! A video would even be nice (and don't show one trying to connect one via nintendo wifi because that isn't reliable at all. SHOW IT VIA UNION ROOM!)
On the Nintendo of Korea Site, I THINK saw an image of one Korean game trading to a Japanese game via Wi-fi, not Union Room (They look like Japanese Kanji characters since I know Japanese Kanji and Chinese characters share similarity and very fluent in Chinese). In that case, doesn't that prove the trading between different language packs is possible?
Although a US one may not be able to trade directly to a Korean one, it can first be traded to a Japanese cartridge, and then to a US cartridge.

I REALLY WANT SOME ANSWERS!
