Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Errr sorry FireWolf I meant the Pikachu Coloured Pichu that will unlock that one . You know , it's been said on the Pokemon Site here :

https://www.pokemon.com/#heartgoldsoulsilver

Just go to the last page and there'll be some info . It;ll say 'a special Pichu approaches' .
 
Uhhh...no.Platinum is better.Although, a few pokes, like Glameow,Murkrow,Stunky and their evos aren't in Platinum they're easily available. Platinum has a Battle Frontier (even though Emerald's is better), and you get a better E4,Gym leader rematches, and more Team Galactic in Platinum
 
What does this whole EV or IV thing everyone is talking about in the forums? Also what the point of a pokemons nature?
 
How exactly does someone make a game for the DS (not a hack, a game, from scratch)? What program do they use to edit it?
 
2 questions; sorry if they seem n00bish (I don't have DPPt yet, btw) :():

1. If you transfer Pokemon via Pal Park from RSE-FRLG to DPPt, are the ribbons obtained from RSE viewable? And do the ribbons from Sinnoh replace Gen. III ribbons or are they added alongside the Gen. III ribbons?

2. In the DPPt summary screen, what locations are listed? Is it just the region that the Pokemon was caught in/transferred from, or is it more specific (like route, cave, city, island, Sevii Island location, etc.)? Also, is it listed whether the Pokemon was "(probably) met, hatched, or fateful encounter" like in Gen. III?

Any help is appreciated!

EVs and IVs, also known as Effort Values and Individual Values respectively, are values in the game that affect a Pokemon's stats.

EVs are values that are gained from KOing Pokemon and gaining experience. Every Pokemon gives a certain amount of EVs (1-3) in the stats of HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed. By battling certain kinds of Pokemon over and over again, you gain more EVs and can add up to 63 points to a certain stat. You can have up to 255 EVs in a single stat and 510 total. Feel free to ask more as this is just a basic overview.

IVs are values that vary from Pokemon to Pokemon. They work like EVs in that they raise stats, but the main difference is that they cannot be changed and range from 0-31. A Pokemon with a 31 IV in a stat will have a much higher stat total than a Pokemon with a 14 IV in a stat. Again a basic overview.

Natures raise one stat and lower another. This can be helpful as most Pokemon have a stat that they DON'T USE AT ALL so the fact that it is lowered is trivial. A list of natures and what stats they affect can be found here: https://www.smogon.com/dp/natures/

Learn to programming.

Don't think you can just download a couple programs and make a full fledged game. It requires extensive amounts of time, money, and monotonous testing to make sure everything works the way it's supposed to and that certain parts can't be exploited.

1. Yes. They are alongside the Gen. III ribbons.

2. If this is about migration, then it will just display the region it's from (Kanto, Hoenn) and nothing else.
If you're talking about just in general, then yes.

Well, thank you for the answer but please, next time, don't act like I insulted you.

All I did was ask a question because I was curious. That's all. No need to go nuclear.

Awesome, thanks! I was thinking of catching certain Hoenn Pokemon in DPPt, and my aim was to have all full-evos and Legendaries win at least 1 contest in Emerald & 1 super-contest later on in Platinum. This means that the number of ribbons available will be cut if I catch them in DPPt, though...

As for the location thing, I'm sort of nitpicky with Pokemon locations, so...
 
Ok another question...evolution matters obviously...but does it matter WHEN you evolve. Let me use an example: I have a Pikachu level 20, and I use a Thunderstone to evolve it, and I level that Raichu to the max level, would that Raichu have gotten better stats if I evolved a level 3 which will be sooner and the pokemon would have leveled up more times as Raichu? I know kinda of a confusing question but do ya get the point? I basically wanna learn HOW TO maximize the status of my pokemon.

A Pokémon's stats will remain the same whether you evolve it early or late in levels. The only change in stats you can give it are EV training, IV breeding, etc... so don't worry about when to evolve it. ​

Ok thanks...know any place where I can read up on EV training or IV training?

BTW When you breed sometime with a Ditto (Bulbasaur for example) would the offspring of the Bulbasaur with 1 Ditto and 1 Bulbasaur parent be at a disadvantage in comparison to a Bulbasaur with 2 Bulbasaur parents?
 
quick question on shiny pokemon
i know that the chance is about 1 out of 8000 times.
So is it a guarenteee for me to get 1 shiny pokemon when I reset for 8000 times?
or is it more?
 
It's completely random. You may reset it 10,000 times and not get a shiny, or you could get one on your fifth try. There's no guarantee; that number is just your overall odds of getting one. Your actual results may vary.
 
What is the wallpaper of the last box in the Pokemon Storage System; I changed it once and now I want the original back? Thanks guys.
 
Hey can anyone answer this for me please?

If I battle the Fisherman near Eterna that has the 6 Magikarps and my Pokemon is holding the Power Lens and has Pokerus will my Pokemon get 10 EV's for each Magikarp and a total of 60 EV's for the whole battle?

I'm not too sure so just thought I'd ask.
Thanks if someone can answer (:
