Quick Question and Answer Thread / Breeding Questions

...Though, it's possible that the random trainer generator (as the trainers are random every day) happened to pair them together. In that case I guess it could be considered a glitch.

I think the pairings are set; i.e., you'll see different pairs in the restaurant each day, but the same people remain paired together.

Are Lady Kylie and Rich Boy Roman a brother and sister on a date (but unaware of it)? They are the couple at the top and center of the restaurant in Valor Lakefront.

If you talk to Lady Kylie, she says she will battle you if you don't tell her date that her dad owns the restaurant. If you talk to Rich Boy Roman, he says he has to hand it to his father, the hors d'oeuvres are great.

Then when you defeat them, they both say, "How could I lose in Papa's restaurant!"

I've always assumed that Roman's dad is the chef and Kylie's dad is the manager.
 
Oh yeah! Now I get it! :O

It's true as Pyrax said, Roman's dad is the chef and Kylie's dad is the manager. I used to think about this back when I played Diamond, and I came to think about the different fathers that they were talking about.

So, the joke in the situation is obviously that both parts have a father working in the restaurant, but neither of them knows the other do.
 
^ Oooooooh ok. Well that's a lot better than the brother/sister thing I thought was going on :P!
 
A problem in the underground in Platinum

Hope I can post it here... If not, please move it in the right forum/delete it!^^

Okay, here's my problem: Everytime I go in the underground and go into the menu there and click "traps" I get back to the titlescreen! Everytime... Although I don't really care about the traps (no one that wants to do some stuff in the underground with except for Spiritomb!^^) I'd really like to make another secret base but, well, I can't!^^ I heard from other forums that other people have the same problem but nowhere was a real solution so many think that it's the same like the berry glitch in R/S...^^ Maybe one of you has the same problem and can tell me how to fix it...^^
 
sounds like a glitch to me :| not heard that one before sorry. I own Diamond and not Platinum, my Real Life friends have platinum however so i can ask if that happens on their versions? might take a day or two to find out however :S
 
Event Arceus

I cheated to get the Azure Flute, I've caught Palkia (In 3 turns, lucky indeed) and I beat the elite four last night, I just went to Spear Pillar hoping to battle Arceus (I only want it so I can trade it to HeartGold to get a Dialga). I tried to use the Azure Flute and nothing happened, just the Rowan's words echoed message, can anyone tell me why it hasn't worked? I haven't battled the lake guardians yet, could that have anything to do with it?

Thank you in advance
 
That'll be it.

I'm guessing you can't activate the event until you've got the National Pokedex (Shaymin isn't available until you've got it, after all, although that may be due to location more than anything,and I think Darkrai probably isn't either).

And you need to battle the Lake Guardians to get the National Pokedex!
 
I am not sure if Hall of Origin Arceus will even activate the event at Sinjoh Ruins. You probably want to go for Movie Arceus instead.

You need to make sure that an event flag has been tripped to have the item be useful

The Arceus from the Hall of Origin will activate the event. It will activate the event a second time if you have already done it with a movie Arceus.
 
I'm not sure if this has brought up yet because I'm not too willing to breeze through 200+ pages of this xD but does competing with a pokemon make it happy? I've been trying to evolve a buneary for awhile and ive gotten 8 ribbons but it still feels like it's nowhere close to evolving @_@

this is going to sound incredibly stupid and has probably been answered a million times but how does one exactly breed? and how would I go about doing so in pokemon platinum?

You raise happiness by:
Walking 256 steps
Massage (Veilstone City)
Massage (Ribbon Syndicate)
Using vitamins
Level up
Using EV reducing Berries
Haircut brothers (HeartGold, SoulSilver)
Daisy grooming (HeartGold, SoulSilver)

You decrease happiness by:
Fainting
Using EnergyPowder
Using HealPowder
Using Energy Root
Using Revival Herb

Contests, depositing in the box, feeding poffins, actively healing, etc are not known to influence happiness, I believe.

You can breed two compatible Pokemon in Solaceon. Bulbapedia has an excellent breeding guide.
 
I asked a while ago if pokemon bred from hacks are considered hacks. I got the answer no. However, I notice that the bred pokemon have the IDno. 00000 and in the Trade Corner Rules and Hacked List glossary those are considered hacks. So, are they hacks or not?
 
Griffinbane said:
"Bred" pokemon with the ID 00000 are not bred, they're hacked. The info was merely hacked to say hatched.

But I bred them from hacks myself...
 
If you bred them yourself, it should have YOUR trainer ID. Assuming you are legitimately breeding them yourself and not hacking, your game is messed up for some reason.
 
Oh.. I get it. This was one of those "unlocked" games they sell on Ebay. The trainer ID is 00000 which is why the eggs have it. Thanks for the help.
 
I was on the route South of Veilstone in Diamond when I stumbled across a wild Vulpix. However when I looked up it's location in the National Dex it said it's Area was unknown. Was this because I imported a Ninetales from my Leafgreen game by any obscuere chance?

I think that this is because you have your GBA game inserted, right?
Some pokemons appear when you insert FR/LG/R/S/E in the GBA Slot ;D
