Purple, I'm waiting in the wifi place whenever you're ready.

I think i'll just use the Fly HM on a boxed Pokemon, to open up a slot for something else on my team to keep it diverse. Chimchar, Turtwig, Piplup, Shinx, Geodude, and for now Zubat until I get an Abra.
 
I have an abra. It wasn't hard to catch, I just used stun spore+dusk ball. I could probably do it with a poke ball though. I'll check the GTS later, after I beat the second gym.*needs to train abra-> kadabra and magikrap->garidos*(spelling sucks, sorry)
 
I'm up to all 3 starters now but I started the game with Chimchar. I didn't start with grass because Budew is probably one of the best grass Pokemon I have ever seen and has litterally defeated the first gym and caves by itself.
 
just got my friend code from the wifi place.

4940 1916 4944

may restart later - i'm working on getting 3 female starters (i'm a breeder, got addicted with sapphire and emerald made it oh-so-much better. i'm sure ditto would work well, but just having the females is awesome enough). i dunno if friend codes change with restarted games and changed names, but whatever works.
 
OOOOooooo What I really want if anyone will Hook me up is a low level ChimCharr. He's the only Starter Char I need and really want. Please someone Help me out :)
 
agreed, budew rocks. but i love how turtwig's evolution looks (reminds me of the dinosaur ankylosaurus... nothing better than a dino-pokemon).
 
suko_32 - it just makes it easier to breed - you can put good egg moves onto them by using various male types (as females dictate egg species and males dictate moves passed on). 1/8 chance in getting them.

good way to get them is to save before entering the first forest area and then picking the one you hope is female. i hate how they don't show their sex until you use them in battle (unlike ruby/sapphire/emerald where you see the symbol before you pick). i dunno if there are noticable visible differences for the starters when they're m/f, but hey, i got a female water starter and i'm looking to get more.

damn my cousin for WPA protection on his router. we always used to spend the first day getting 3 females each and then starting a new game... it's tedious, but it sure was rewarding when we bred for team building purposes...
 
Female starters are preferred because you don't need a ditto to get more starters, which is good if you want to trade or get different natures.

We're supposed to meet in the Union Room right?
 
[quote name='suko_32']This might be a dumb question, but why is female starters preferred, and how are you guys getting them?[/QUOTE]

well...the quest to be the pokemon champion is a long and hard one....and a man has needs you know....

lol no idea really D:

im still waiting to see how many of my friends pick this up to see if itll be worth it multiplayer wise.

when all else fails and your friends let you down, you'll always have us fellow CAGs... (ain't that an oscar-worthy moment. almost brought a tear to my eye. hah)
 
anyways, might as well throw it out there, but... is anyone willing to "mule" 3 of my pokemon while i restart? as in, trade me 3 junk ones for 3 of mine that i wanna port over to a new game.

i'm offering to give two of them pokeballs and another one the TM for hidden power. just as long as you don't pull a fast one and don't give em back... PM me if you're a willing and honorable CAG...
 
[quote name='Doomed']I got a female turtwig.:D Anyone know where day-care is?[/quote]

i think the daycare is right before route 210/215 area. it's right before you get the 3rd badge for fly.
 
Anyone know how to get that egg from the guy?

He keeps saying that I dont have room for it.....but yet I can still get items...
 
[quote name='Purple Flames']We're supposed to meet in the Union Room right?[/quote]

No, that's for local. You have to go downstairs in a Pokemon Center.
 
That stupid egg is the only reason my party isn't at a full six right now. I've been trying not to use a complete redux of my typical teams so my only holdover is Alakazam. I had to resist the urge to put a Zubat in my team so badly though, Crobat is so awesome. My current in-game party is
Grotle
Staravia
Buizel
Alakazam
Luxio

I want to add a Stunky but the damn egg is in the way. Shinx was damned useless until he learned spark and finally evolved. Now he carries his own

I don't get the desire to use all the starters, but that's just me

Ah ok. I'm there now. Sorry about the wait.

Thanks a lot man :D
 
I just want decent variety. But I mean I'll probably ditch Turtwig once a decent ghost or fighting Pokemon comes along. Or Dark.

Purple: K, one sec.

yeah, i don't like using starters actually - i just like breeding for collection purposes and move transfers. and after all, you gotta catch em all!

hm, why not just keep running around town till it hatches? or just put it in the pc for now? no need to carry it unless you wanna see what's inside. i dunno what it is, so i don't know how many steps, but should be less than 10k.
 
Japanese people will trade anything for anything. I traded my Misdreavus for a Chimchar on the global trading thing. Also, we need a seperate friend code thread. There are too many friend codes to keep track of.

agreed. this is turning into more of a social/discussion thread. why not do the honor and start one? hah...

i appreciate the OP's thread, but it's quite the clutter. pokemon deserves more than one thread, coz there's way too much to cover...
 
I have a female Turtwig also, can't wait to trade its eggs/babies for cag piplup and chimchar babies. I got a piplup and chimchar but I just cant deal with the fact that I didnt do their initial leveling so I really want to eventually get eggs traded.

On a trading note, i also need my kadabra evolved, anyone up for it in say 10, 15 mins? PM if ya can help.
 
connecting now

edit -- Phattsoe did the trade, thanks 6ball also. First time in a pokemon game I've had an alla.
 
This may have already been answered, but I was watching the Gametrailers review and they said you can't battle online with pokemon over level 30...is this true?
 
hmm, i started with a turtwig...

i need a chimchar and a piplup...and i'm kinda wanting a psyduck and a kricketot as well :(

if anyone can help me, let me know..my friend code is: name: ChrisPy
friend code: 0000 9789 5369

thanks!

i think that's only for the union room (random local trainers). with friends, it's anything goes... at least, i think so...

according to sixersballernum3, japanese people take anything. just make requests in the global trading station or whatever.
 
and i'm liking this VOIP-ish talking while trading. i thought i was going crazy with my ds crackling and what not, but it was hohez on the other end. crazy stuff. who nees cell phones when you got wifi and friend codes?
 
nice... you had to put in a gba cartridge for that, eh? i loved using gengar. absolutely pwned the gyms and elite four for me back in sapphire and emerald.
 
Another +1 for the GTS system. I found some guy offering a hatched Piplup for a Geodude so I took him up on that and offered a Magikrap for an Abra and someone took me up on that. I wish there were more options for filtering though, it's kinda of a PITA to look for stuff. I recommend you narrow down the search field and do multiple searches. For example, instead of doing an ALL / ANY search do multiple specialized searches for Male, Level 9 and under / Male, 10 and up / Female, 9 and under and so forth.

The shitty thing about getting the Piplup is that it became disobedient in the mid teen levels and now it doesn't follow orders for the most part during battles. Can anyone elaborate on that, I haven't played one of these games since the Gold / Silver times, I know it has something to do with badges though.
 
Checking my 3 sweet honey trees now. First one had a male combee which is useless because only females evolve, but the second one has a 14 female Cherubi which is nice. One more to check.

For folks with Poke's that won't obey:

You have to get so far in the game to make higher pokemon obey. They did it so people couldn't bring in level 100s at the first gym and trivialize the entire game.

2 badges - All up to level 30 obey
4 badges - up to level 50
6 badges - up to level 70
8 badges - all obey
 
Just got diamond version today. This is kind of weird because I'm still used to the red and blue days. All this talk about eggs, trading online and other things has be kind of confused. How exactly can I get a pokemon to lay eggs or whatever (sorry if this has been asked before)? Where is the online trading center (is this the underground tunnel in the game where there's treasure and other things?)
 
Anybody given capture the flag a try yet? And if not; any random 16 people wanna hop on and give it a whirl after getting the Explorer Kit?
