Here I go again...
1. I believe there is some purpose to the 'Unown' pokemon. Am I wrong here? There are so many different symbols and yet they are so utterly useless pokes...eh?
Yes, you are wrong. Unown was a lame novelty idea from the cartoon, iirc, that was carried over into the GSC games. Then they were carried over into FRLG, unfortunately. Complete waste of time.
2. Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, and Mew...unobtainable without a 'nintendo event' ? How do I find out about these events (when and where they'll be? , what they'll be giving away?). Are these the only 3 pokes that u are not able to get without the event?
There are actually FOUR, but the answer is still yes. AC gave a good alternative, but those are extremely rare. You can also come across them on eBay or through other friends. Not sure if the Nintendo Store in New York still has them available or not. I was in New York on business last month and stupid me forgot to take all mine and my boys carts with me to visit the store. Stupid me.
3. Other than their Extremely rare status, are shinies actually Better than the regular versions? IE: stats, EVs, & IVs??
i read on a post somewhere that someone beat a Rayquaza with a shiny Starmie...
There is nothing special at all about "shiny" Pokes, except their color. Just another lame novelty idea. Now if they were actually better, that might make the search for them worthwhile. A well-trained Starmie definitely can KO a Rayquaza.
a. are the legendaries ie: mewtwo sittin there in the cave , Predetermined shiny or
not, or am I able to attack him, see if he's shiny, and if not reset the game and try
again??
The shiny percentage is calculated upon your encounter with them. Some people save right before hand and then waste countless hours reseting until they get a shiny. I reset too, but not as much and for a better reason. I reset to get a good nature and good IV stats. That is what makes your Poke better, not the color of it.
b. from above ^^^ the legendary dogs and
[email protected] question.
Same answer.
4. I ran into an 8 year old kid at the supermarket flippin through Pokemon Trading Cards, and he said that a poke called "missingNO" will freeze my game up forever so don't catch it. Makes no sense and I can't find it in my Pokedex Guide book i bought. ??
As AC already said, that was a common glitch in the old RBY games and cannot be found in the advanced version. I do believe there is some cheat that you can use to get it, but no one likes a cheater.
5. The three dogs and
[email protected] never come across them...been playin for a LONG time. Is there a trick that I haven't read about. Hint, tip, help plz! :D
The easiest way to catch Lati@s is to breed Shroomish to have Spore and False Swipe and then level it up to Lv40. Put that as your lead, purchase a ton of Max Repel, Fly to Mossdeep, and then Surf northwest to Route 124. There you will find a house that belongs to the Shard Collector. What you do is use Max Repel, Surf up and down the coast twice, and then go inside the house. When you go outside the house, Lati@s will have changed routes, while you have not. Repeat this process over and over until Lati@s appears. Getting a shiny Lati@s is EXTREMELY difficult since you cannot save the game if it is on the same route as you because every time you turn on your game, it changes its route.
As for the Legendary Dogs, unless you can trade from Emerald to FRLG, you will have to train a different Poke that isn't as cool. A Lv40 Poke with a sleep move works. The same concept applies though. Use your Max Repels and go in and out of a house on a route. I have used the house on Route 12 with success. Unlike Lati@s though, if you save the game with the Dog on your route it will stay there.
BTW - As AC said, your Dog depends on your starter:
Bulbasaur - Entei
Charmander - Suicune
Squirtle - Raikou
Thank you in advance so I won't post again!! You guys are truly Awesome!
