HG/SS Help Thread

will there be a crown dogs event in the us?
 
Going to move to the Help thread, as that's where questions should go. Although note if it is a fake game (rom'd and all) then such things are more likely to happen and there's little one can do with that.

Maybe you hit the game or something when you put the ds down? =/ Does it actually erase or just display the message? Don't think you can really do anything short of cleaning it again and all... =/
 
@ ShinyEspeon1798:


Basically, yes. Or no. Or "who knows, not even gamefreak". Except they probably do.

There have been no official announcements about the Crown Beasts outside of Japan, and no leaks from any "official sources". So, while there may be an event, there is no confirmation of that, and currently there isn't one.
 
I'm having problem. I don't where to train my flaffy. He's level is 28. Can anyone help me? thanks again.

Nope, completely legit SoulSilver, bought it from Tesco.

It just displays "The save file will be erased due to corruption or damage." on a blue screen every time then when you press A it starts where a new game starts with a question about info on the game (I haven't started a new game just incase it's a random problem).
 
I have a Shaymin that I think may be a fake, I have taken it to the Flower shop in Goldenrod but nothing happens.

I know the flower transforms Shaymin from 5am to 7pm but can I get the flower any time?
Is it a Fateful Encounter Shaymin? That's the only stipulation needed to get the flower.

And yes, you can get the flower at any time.

The water routes between Olivine and Cianwood might be the best way to go, since it's all Water Pokemon around that level.

Wait, is this not the problem when you switch off during a save, and it has to load the backup save? That gives a message similar to that. I'm not going to advise you to go on and delete it just yet, but that's possibly the only course of action.
 
I was wondering. Does gamestop have any more give aways like the jiraji one? If so does anyone know where to look.
 
Right now, no. The last one was the Jirachi one. Currently, most events are released over Wi-Fi, which means that you don't have to enter the store to get the Pokemon. You just need to get online with your DS.

The list of all events for HG/SS is here.

And if you can open it, then the list of released and soon-to-be-released events are announced here.

You could check GameStop's website for any announcements, but that's only if the event happens in their store. Like I said, most events are over Wi-Fi, which GameStop has no part in.

As far as I can tell, there are currently no events being held at GameStop. However, there is a Wi-Fi event going on right now for the Enigma Stone. This event will allow you to capture one of the Lati@s depending on your version. You can read more about it here.

edit: Asty gave a much better answer than I did. XD;

Reminder

Currently, there have been a few "thank you" posts being made here. This is just a friendly reminder to those who are asking question that a thank you post is not required after your question has been answered. Actually, if you read the first post of this thread, you'll note under the rules that they aren't allowed. Basically, they just clutter the thread with unnecessary posts and we really don't want that. :(

If you must give a thank you, you are allowed to do so by either personally VMing/PMing the answerer or just saying thank you in the same post as your question.
 
do EVs for a stat max at exactly 252?
or is it possible to get a little too much and end up hindering the stats slightly?
 
You can get 255 in each stat. Sadly, 3 are wasted, so generally people only use 252, then stick 4 in a 3rd stat
 
I was wondering is there anyway to get the leaf evee and the ice evee in soul silver. I don't know the name because I didn't play the other new ones. I also wanted to know how to get espon and umbreon. I got them both in the silver but I used the gameshark on it. I raised it with rare candies and vitamins and stuff like that. Now that I want to try to do it without it. Does anyone know how and how to make evee happy during the day and night? What is your secrets? Let me know. Thanks.

Edit: Also I'm not ready to face lugia yet? Because lugia is at level 44 and all my pokemon is below it. I want to know where to train them? Here are the pokemon and the levels:

Pidgeotto level 15
Ampharos level 36
Milktank level 37
Blazkien level 39 (got from a friend at a combusken stage.)
poliwhirl level 45.

I only got 5 pokemon. The 6th pokemon is a furret with hm moves.

Eevee can only be evolved to Glaceon and Leafeon in D/P/Pt. To raise happiness in HG/SS, give it the Soothe Bell, give it haircuts with the Haircut Brothers in Goldenrod Underground. You can still give Vitamins (they do add two points to the total happiness). Then, once Eevee's happiness is raised high enough, battle with it during the day to achieve Espeon and during the night to achieve Umbreon.

I'm not really sure on a good strategy to battle Lugia because I haven't in years, but...

As for your Pokemon, I personally suggest raising them up more so they can survive any hits from Lugia. Just don't raise their levels too high, because you don't want to knock out Lugia. I'd also suggest getting a Pokemon that can put Lugia to sleep/paralyze it to make it easier to catch. And stock up on Ultra Balls since you're not using your Master Ball, apparently.
 
I have two questions of which I would be grateful if they could be answered; Firstly, I'm having much trouble catching Entei. I've got his HP very low and he's asleep but, he constantly flees and all the Dusk Balls and Ultra Balls I have thrown have had no effect... Has anyone got a good strategy on how I can catch Entei, succesfully?

My second question is about my team; I'm at Mahogany Town going up to the Lake of Rage Event and the Pokemon in my team are at Level 40. I just want to know if this is a good or bad level fro my Pokemon to be at (going to the seventh Gym) and if I should train them any more.

I hope you can help.
:)
 
Get a pokemon with mean look like umbreon or gastly. And that will stop in its tracks. I've heard other players use it, but I have never use it myself.

Edit: Also, are there any Japanese players here? I need help reading something. Pm me if you are. What's a soothe bell and where do I find it?
