Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

Hmm thanks. but what would be better to catch? since AFAIK budew evolves via happiness. that means that if i want roselia it will take some time. and i can get a low level roselia and then train it. instead of having to wait. this roserade would be ingame, after that i will probably breed (for online, as well as my other team members you can see in the signature, well im not here to talk about my team O: )

so anyway, ingame its better to catch roselia / budew? (will later be used to breed a new one for Wifi)

In my opinion, I would say that its better to catch budew ingame due to a variety of benefits that come from it breeding later on in the game.
 
Hello, I need some help with the GTS Cloning trick. I did every step I needed to, then when I was testing out the glitch a few times to see how much the clock turned around before it loaded. Majority of them were 16 spins, so I turned off the game before it hit 16. Then, I entered back into the GTS and such, found "Summary" inside the GTS, and clicked it, then it took a while, and showed "Communication error..." whenever I actually did the glitch correctly. I did this 10 times, and it still showed up the same. Oh, and this is in Platinum. Tell me if I need to explain myself more.

GTS cloning glitch is fixed in platinum version.

Edit: Now a question from me, is there a difinitive way to work out what moves pokemon can learn through long breeding chains?

Monastery in Hearthome City.

What is that monastery place in Hearthome City for? I've always wondered what it was doing in such an upbeat place like Hearthome. The place has no background music, and I really don't like it. Is it linked to an event or something?
 
i thought that.
its random, if they put it somewhere else pehaps it would have made more sence but theres not any items/pokemon atainable there.
as far as i know its completely unsignificant
 
yeah, the big monastery might be linked to some sort of event involving obtaining the arzure flute or some crap like that.
 
Can someone link me to/tell me what the Elite Fours teams look like in Platinum after the National Dex?
Please PM/VM with an answer ^^ thanks!!

This building, also known as the Foreign Building, has absolutely no significance towards gameplay at all. Rather, it is just there for the NPCs to talk about the grace of living life with Pokemon.
 
HELP!!

i think i screwed up my platinum game file. i used AR to get some pokemon, and then saved. i didn't play it for about 3 days, and when i played it today, it went directly to the screen that shows up when you select new game. i didn't even get a menu. i think AR deleted my game, but i'm not sure. someone help!
 
first of all, AR PROBABLY DID MUK IT UP

secondly- play it the real way please

thirdly- reset it
 
i had used AR after already beating it
 
What kind of AR?
ARDS or the old one that you can use on GBA games?
 
I'm sorry, did you say three times?
It may take way longer than that to get what you want.
(What do you want anyways)
