Im after an area to gain some levels for battling against the Elite 4 (round 2) and then Red afterwards.
4 of the 6 in my team are under Lv.60 as they were somewhat later additions to the team.
Any ideas?

Either go for trainer rematches via the phone (full list here), or gym leader rematches (how to get numbers + calling times here). Note you can re-battle a specific trainer as many times as you want within that time period specified - you just have to call them again. Other than that, there's wild Pokemon on Mt Silver, I suppose...

I'm Torn

Lately I've been so torn between soulsilver and platinum. I can't decide which one i want to use as my main game. I LOVE soulsilvers graphics and all the new little details. If they were just mixed with platinum it would have been the ultimate game. My biggest problem is training. I'm finding that there are times when i play there isn't much options to train in soulsilver except for the league over and over which gets a tad boring after a bit. I just wish they had the vs seeker still. I've got the gym leaders numbers but idk i always miss their times and so forth. Is there some place i'm missing that can make this easier? The lack of the vs seeker is driving me back to platinum but i long for soulsilvers aesthetics.

Well you can always change the time if you want - as long as you don't care about time-specific things for the time being (like berries and whatnot) which would be affected by the time-changing, you can use that to your advantage to refight people.

There's also your rival at the E4 at certain times/days, Red reappears after each time you beat the E4, and there's other trainers to call too which after a few battls end up being pretty decent so you can call at least someone at any specific day and time afaik. There are no other options afaik though bar wild Pokemon, and that's boring.

why doesn't my riolu wanna breed.......does it have to be a lucario?

thanks to whoever can confirm this for me....

 

[Kenshin5]

It depends what you are trying to breed Riolu with, you may be breeding it with an incompatible Egg Group. I believe I had breed Riolu in the past with out problems so I don't see that it would be an issue because it is not evolved.

no it cant breed with dittos and riolu of a different gender.........so im guessing it has to be a lucario.....

I think it does have to be a lucario. my brother bred one for me with a ditto and it worked perfectly. try that.

I do believe Riolu is considered a "Baby" pokemon and they cannot not breed so you'll have to evolve it.

 

[Red1530]

Riolu is a member of the no eggs group. Therefore it cannot breed.

Hey, I need help with finding Leftovers. I'm aware that Snorlax Holds it but I beat it in battle instead of capturing because I didn't know at the time. Is there any other way I can get Leftovers? :)

I think it's only found by wild Snorlax or using Pick-Up (1% chance with Pick-Up only with 81-100 level Pokémon)
In original G/S you could find them from Celadon City's restaurant bin, but I think you can't find them there in HG/SS which is a shame...

@Late : Thank's for the help. :) But I don't have G/S. So I guess I'm screwed. ;-;

Beat Elite 4 again and Snorlax will show up. Capture it, and get Leftovers.

Beat Elite 4 again and Snorlax will show up. Capture it, and get Leftovers.

Another solution is to use Thief on Snorlax to steal its Leftovers, then run from the battle. Beat the E4 again, and Snorlax will respawn (holding another Leftovers).

hey, is anyone lagging?

i have nintendo ds lite and im playing ss
i feel my game is lagging and the resolution is bad?

 

[Perriechu]

Buy the game!.

Well maybe it's your Ds finally coming to a stop :| BUT. Soul Silver does run quite slow so that might be the lagging part, although the resolution part Idk, maybe your playing on an R4?

Lagging? Like, stuttering when moving and not-so-smooth animation in battles?

If so, the games run in 30 FPS. Instead of 60 FPS. 30 FPS without proper measures of blending between frames can make the game look choppy.

As for the resolution, all DS games run at the same resolution per screen: 256x192 per screen. Always. So... I don't know what are you talking about, unless you're comparing to a modern console game, then...

if could manage to get 3 different arceus from 3 different sources, could I get all three dragons?

 

[Fushigidane-Chan]

No. You can earn up to two; an event Arceus (any kind) unlocks one, a TRU Arceus unlocks another. I've heard rumors of there being a third way, but I doubt they're true.

I heard that you can clone in HeartGold via the GTS like in DPPt, but I can't figure out how D: The little box in the lower-right corner goes around 9.5 times before the pokemon gets sent through. Can anyone lemme know how I can clone in HG? I don't know when to turn it off at the GTS or anything. Thanks :3
