How do you guys spread out the HMs? which ones are the most your going to be using? I figure surf fly and strength are the most important, and are actually useful in battle.

Well, if you're in competitive play, Fly and Strength aren't going to be useful, but I suppose they're helpful against in-game trainers. However, those are pretty important moves in the overworld. I personally like to have all the HMs learned in my party, at least if you're exploring. As long as you have a Pokémon that can learn Waterfall, you can gather the rest of the 7 HMs on Tauros and Farfetch'd (provided this is before the Elite 4, as post-E4 you can grab a Bibarel for your HM-slavery). However, once you get Fly, having the proper HMs at every moment isn't going to be a major concern, as you can just Fly to the nearest city to the get the Pokémon. Anyways, before the Elite 4, I just kept Farfetch'd and Tauros around at all times, just in case (other than in Gyms, of course).

Yes, it is possible to acquire a shiny Pokemon from the PokeWalker.

I don't think there's a specific animation for it :s You just gotta keep chucking balls at everything you see.

That's what I understood from the article anyway; I lost the article ~.~

Sorry if it was mentioned anywhere before, but for some reason I haven't got a Dratini from the Dragon Den Master. I assumed during the story that the Dratini is given on a second visit, but no matter how many times I go there the man never ever mentions about Dratini, only keeps talking about Lugia.

I begin to wonder whether I did something wrong with the game right now.

@ MickX. You have to leave a space in your party to get Dratini from the dragon master.

Question.

Where can I get Larvitar in Soul Silver besides Mt. Silver?

And if you can get him in the Safari Zone, what do you need to get him?

 

[MickX]

Just tried opening a spot on my team, doesn't work. The old man keeps babbling about Lugia and doesn't mention a thing.

I get the feeling I only had that window of opportunity during the storyline itself. Either that or something's wrong with my game...

Same thing happen to me, but after I opened a spot on my team, I got the Dratini from the old man. Did you answer his quiz correctly? If you didn't, you won't be able to get a Dratini with Extreme Speed. That's odd, you should be able to get a normal Dratini anyways.

Edit: Now I remember, first, you must get, TM59 (Dragon Pulse) from Clair.

[Shady Soldier]

[Dudypokefan89]

You're totally right and if i remember well, Gyarados learn that move via leveling up =)
Dudypokefan89, use this move better than Blizzard =)

I got both, used both, and beat the E4, oddly, my Garados saved me...Beat 3 dragonites in a row and i had hydro pump...bye bye Charizard and Aerodactyl!..I'm actually in Celadon already. beat Erika, kogas daughter, and LT. Surge too. thanks for the help, but a new problem arose...
see, as soon as oak handed me that National Dex i tryed importing. but heres the problem.. my ivysaur snorlax and zapdos are stuck in leaf-green because of hidden moves..what does it mean? how do i fix it?

edit: sorry, just realized it was HM....

@Micx: You could just get one of the Dratinis that appear while you're surfing in the Dragon's Den. Unless you want it already with extreme speed...
