[Ru-Kun]

Thanks I wanted to trade a Torchic egg over.

 

[Kamui]

i thought to get Rock Smash (TM 08) from the larger fellow just outside of Violet City after beating Whitney and using the Squirt Bottle on the Sudowoodo.

We were talking about "Rock Climb", not Rock Smash.

 

[Tuskin]

My game froze when I reached the ladder to the top of the Tin tower.. damn it.

 

[thatpokemondude]

anybody reach or come into contact with Giovanni in order to confirm his appearance in the game???

#249 Lugia

Lugia is the Diving Pokémon and the star Pokémon of Pokémon Soul Silver. As such, the way you discover it in Soul Silver is through obtaining the Silver Feather after beating Team Rocket. With this, when you go to Whirl Islands and get to the bottom, you will encounter Lugia at Level 45.

If you are playing Heart Gold, Lugia is also obtainable at the Whirl Islands, but you need to obtain the Silver Feather from a person in Pewter City. Once you have it, you can go to the bottom of Whirl Islands and Lugia will be there, this time at Level 70.

That'd mean that as long as you have the silver wing you can catch Lugia right?
But I went all the way down to the spot where it's supposed to be but Lugia isn't there -_-
Do I need to beat the E4 first or something?

 

[Tuskin]

Ho-Oh looks so awesome when they are following you.

If you're playing SoulSilver you will need to battle the kimono girls in Ecruteak first.

 

[Creqaw]

If you're playing SoulSilver you will need to battle the kimono girls in Ecruteak first.

Ah, I'll do that then or is that a after-E4 thing?
//edit It's a after-E4 thing probably since they're not in there theater.

 

[Serene Grace]

Ah, I'll do that then or is that a after-E4 thing?

Nope, it's before the Elite Four battle.

 

[asthegreat]

won the first gym
got to the mart and got the egg
then ..
it froze
good thing that i saved

 

[Creqaw]

Nope, it's before the Elite Four battle.

Any other requirements that I need to fulfill? cause they're not there.

 

[thelaytonmobile]

Any other requirements that I need to fulfill? cause they're not there.

I dunno, have you beaten all Gyms? You might need to do that. Or maybe you have to talk to Mr Pokemon or Prof Elm. You definitely need to beat the kimono girls, but if they aren't there...
Maybe you haven't helped them all yet? I think the last one is in the Ice Path.

 

[Creqaw]

I dunno, have you beaten all Gyms? You might need to do that. Or maybe you have to talk to Mr Pokemon or Prof Elm.

Well atm I'm having flashbacks about the Ice Path (I hate that place) so I still need beat Clair.

 

[Mitchman]

If you have beaten them then go to your version bird either in tin tower or whirl islands.

 

[Serene Grace]

Any other requirements that I need to fulfill? cause they're not there.

Once you do that, you can beat the Kimono Girls, catch the Bird that is related to your game (Ho-Oh for Heart Gold and Lugia for Soul Silver) and then beat Claire. The Elite Four should be available now.

A couple things:
1: After saving, exit no$gba. the save isn't written until you exit, so if you save and it glitches, your SoL.
2: I just noticed something, if your pokemon reaches its evolution level, then faints, it will still evolve, unlike past games where you needed to level it up again to evolve it. Found this out fighting my rival and my mareep fainted, it evolved at the end.

It seems as though Crasher Wake shall be found in the Celadon Department Store, and when talking to him he gives you a few Sinnoh Starter Accessories. It doesn't appear that any confirmation of Pokémon Contests will be in, so I'm assuming that the Accessory Case is for the Pokéthelon and possibly other needed areas.

Also to note, Serebii has stated that once defeating Red upon Mt. Silver, then Gym Leaders should sometimes be found missing from their Gym[which we know]. It has been followed through and this seems to be the pattern in how rematches between them shall be set up.

First, it is known that after battling they shall be registered into your PokéGear Contact List. Later on along the game when the rematch is ready, they shall call upon you. However, they will not be found in their designated Gym, but more so around the Johto and Kanto region. Now, not all Gym Leaders has been followed up as yet, but more insight should come later along the lines.

Whitney - Goldenrod Dept. Store 6th Floor (Saturdays)
Pryce - Lake of Rage (Saturday Mornings)
Clair - Dragon's Den Saturday
Morty - Outside Tin Tower (Monday)
Bugsy - Viridian Forest (Thursday Daytime)
Jasmine - Olivine City Diner (Afternoons)
Blaine - Cinnabar Island (Tuesday Morning)
Misty - Route 25 (Evenings)

Both really awesome finds. I'm sure that they made the Gym leaders available on different days so that people don't spam the rematches. Kinda like the battle resort in Platinum.
