    Depends on what you're going to do with them. You could use any of Jolly, Impish, Bold, or Timid on Eevee (among others) depending on how you plan on raising it.

    It doesnt really matter in-game. DP is aimed at ages 3+ and has AI to match, so pick your favorite. Statistically, infernape hits more gym leaders/E4 members for SE damage with his stab moves, and is the highest-placed of the three in competetive play

    The "competitive play" thing doesn't matter because it's impossible to EV train in story mode. Anyway, with GTS you can get them all.

    No it isn't, there are several areas early on where you can stay and battle a single pokemon. I myself stayed and battled a few dozen starlys for a load of speed EVs, allowing me to outspeed my rival's faster chimchar. Not that I needed to, I just felt a sense of satisfaction for having my turtwig outspeed that stupid monkey, but it's certainly not impossible.

    It also serves as a 'display case' for your battle frontier badges once you get that far in the game. You can record the battles and watch them from your battle recorder. ;]

    ok, to gain access to the PC downstairs you must reach Oreburgh city first, however it doesn't matter which centre you go downstairs first in, if it's your first time going down their you will still get the pal pad automatically. just like the first time you access WiFi and you have the Pal Pad you get assigned your friend code. (your friend code changes if you access WiFi from the same card on a different DS than when you first accessed WiFi.)

    Alright. I am at my wit's end with my Pokemon Diamond.
    I have an R4 and a Diamond rom. Just putting that out there because I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this problem or not.
    I'm more of an old-school pokemon kind of girl. So a lot of this stuff is new to me. However, I can't figure out why I can't catch any new pokemon.
    I'm wandering around routes 214 and 215- and the only two pokemon I have encountered with at least 40 minutes of walking in tall grass is Geodude and Ponyta. On a very rare occasion I'll run into a Stunky. Very. Rarely. There are at least 3 more pokemon that are "supposed" show up in those areas- but I've yet to see even one of them. It doesn't matter what time of day I go out, it's always Geodude and freaking Ponyta!
    So, my question untimately is... is this normal? Is there really that much of a lack of variety between the different routes? I've gone down to the lakefront, backtracked to route 210- and still the same two pokemon.
    Help?
