2nd Gen Metal & Color Generation Help Thread

I'm not sure if Umbreon can have that move by level 39.

Of course it can! All you have to do is some attack breeding. :)

Is there a way to trade pokemon from Gold / Silver onto Stadium / Stadium 2, and then trade them from Stadium / Stadium 2 onto Ruby / Sapphire? I'm just really trying to find a way to migrate my Silver team over to the new generation games. So is that possible?

I'm actually positive that Stadium and Stadium 2 are not compatible with any 3rd generation games..
So I don't believe that is possible I'm sorry to say. ;~;

I'm pasting this quote from another source:

"Trade the Red Gyarados back to Red/Blue/Yellow and let it learn TM 31, Mimic. Trade it back(gsc) and delete all of its moves except Mimic(blackthorne city). Fight a wild Ditto(in pokemon rby). Let it use transform to turn into your Gyarados. Use Mimic to mimic Transform. Let Gyarados use Transform. Let Ditto use Transform again. Then, catch it. It will be shiny. Now that you have a shiny Ditto, you can breed any Pokemon with it. Your odds of getting a shiny egg is 1:64 where regular odds would be 1:8000."

Could anyone tell me if this is fake or if it works?

According to my own knowledge and many other people's personal experiences on the interwebs, this trick works.
The reason for it turning shiny upon capture I'm uncertain of.. it's possible the stats it gains from Red Gyarados upon transforming stick with it even after it turns back into Ditto. In the GSC days, DVs [Called IVs now] were responsible for telling if the Pokemon you encountered was shiny or not. Automatically Red Gyarados will always have a DV combo that keeps it shiny no matter what.. therefore when you glitch the Ditto to mimic the Red Gyarados's stats, it will be shiny too.

Also, shiny parents will increase the chances of a shiny baby in GSC because the DVs that made the parent(s) shiny will pass onto it's children.
Keep in mind this trick no longer works in the later generations because DVs/IVs do not determine shinyness anymore.

The only form of an English Green version I've ever seen were fan made translations of the ROM..
But that's the only information I have personally.. >.<;

What level was the Mew obtained from the 1999 Poketour that was traded to your GB? Also what was the OT's name and ID?

Nope, while Japan got:

Red + Green | Blue (+ Red again possibly) | Yellow

Everyone else got:

Red + Blue | Yellow

 

[JakeyBoy]

Red + Green | Blue (+ Red again possibly)

Just to clarify:

• Red and Green are released in Japan
• Blue is released in Japan with updated graphics, new encounters, and a few other differences
• Red and Green are remade with Blue's updated graphics and other differences, and are released outside of Japan as Red and Blue. Japan does not get these games.
• Yellow is released everywhere, again with even newer graphics and other differences.

This is how I think it is anyway.

odd question but are pokemon gold and silver for gameboy color or gameboy pocket? because I can play pokemon silver on my original Gameboy pocket the huge grey one and the smaller one as well. all the box art I look up for the game says they're gameboy color games but I know you can't play game boy color games on Gameboy pocket I tried with pokemon crystal.

Im almost positive Gold and Silver were released during the GBC but as a regulat Game Boy game. The bcks didnt have the bulge and I think only say gameboy. Crystal bulges and says gameboy color. If I remember correctly.

Yes. It's called Pokemon Blue. The US Blue version is identical to the Japanese Green version.

Look it up online. It's actually pretty cool, since the original japanese pokemon actually has completely different sprites then our red and blue.

 

[Limey-chan]

^ And worse ones for the most part haha.

Apart than the sprites, there are a few other small differences between Green and Blue. A few of the major bugs were ironed out (Such as the glitch which teleports you straight to the Hall of Fame from Pallette Town), and also I believe you get Mew upon 100% completion of the Pokédex in Japan whereas in Blue you get a certificate which you can print out - short straw, much?

 

[Sydian]

Anyone know how to get the Water Stone, Thunder Stone, and Moon Stone in Crystal? I know the first two require getting some numbers, but I can't remember who and where they are. As for the Moon Stone, I read Ruins of Alph, but I'm not sure.

 

[Emlam]

Super-simple question: In G/S, when you headbutt trees at night, will all the daytime Pokemon you encounter be asleep? It caught me a bit by surprise when a sleeping Spearow somehow attacked me. :P

 

[Emlam]

Wish I'd realized it before I had all the tree Pokemon, I wouldn't have even bothered during the daytime. xD Free status condition!

 

[myrrhman]

In Pokemon Red/Blue, they had Stat Exp. instead of EV's. Is there a list anywhere that tells you how much stat exp. you get from defeating each Pokemon?

 

[Emlam]

I think I remember a bunch of formulas for things like that in Red on here, though I never got around to reading them all the way through.

 

[myrrhman]

Thanks, that helps a lot.
