Posted April 9, 2010 just beat E4 on my first try. was not expecting it to be so easy. lance's dragonites were pretty intense, but thanks to blastoise's blizzard and using X-accuracy for the first time ever, it went over pretty well. wewt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2010 The people behind localisation at NoA/E really need to sort it out, they've completely ruined the humour in this version of the game. I'd been slightly disappointed by the dialogue since I started playing anyway, but when I got to Celadon city's gym, that was the last straw. Seriously, how's it possible to go from this: Brilliantly funny moment on the GBA game, notice how the pervy old man doesn't even turn to face you as he's too busy checking out the women. Quality. To this?: Now we get this politically correct crap, that isn't funny in the slightest. I'd be really interested to know if the Japanese version of HG/SS was written like that, highly doubt it though. Not cool. Come on Nintendo, if you want your games to entertain and appeal to a broad audience you've got to stop with the pointless censorship. This might seem trivial to some people, but at the end of the day it's little details like this that make all the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2010 I don't think they could get away with that nowadays. They've already had enough bad rep lately calling people spastics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 9, 2010 Does anyone trade or battle on here?! Doesn't seem so.... I'm up for it. I've only just got my second badge though if people are of a similar level. What do you get for battling? You should get all the pokemon you defeat!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 10, 2010 Decided on my last Pokemon so I busted him up with Moon Stone and Ice Beam and Earthquake from my Diamond, and traded him over. So now my team is (Nidoking 24, all others 31) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you just do it for the sake of doing it? Hmm. Can some explain to me how to deal with the letting pokemon hold stuff and the CD's you have in your bag (they are CDs aren't they?), the TM54 and such...? Don't get it.

Posted April 10, 2010 Does anyone know how I can get my Haunter to learn Hypnosis? I have a feeling I will be needing a heart scale as well so where do I get that? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TM's give you a chance to teach your Pokemon a new move which it might not actually learn naturally as well as moves your Pokemon might learn at a later level. TM's are one use, HM's are infinite use. Hold items such as Berries and such can do a variety of things to help you out in battles, from Healing your Pokemon to boosting some of your moves power. You need only see the description to see how it benefits the Pokemon holding it. Berries naturally can only have 1 use and then be used up so growing your own is important.

Posted April 10, 2010 So do these remakes feature just the pokemon from the original versions, or are all the subsequent ones from R/S and D/P included aswell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2010 You can get some of the newer ones as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2010 So do these remakes feature just the pokemon from the original versions, or are all the subsequent ones from R/S and D/P included aswell? Apart from a few new evolutions, the Johto Pokédex remains largely the same as it originally was, I think. Once you see everything in the Johto Dex, the National Dex is unlocked which opens up all Pokémon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2010 I've had this game for three weeks now and my progress has been slow. But I now have eight badges and will embark to Indigo Plateau with my team of enslaved animals: I'd be enjoying this game more if it wasn't for the sheer amount of grinding you have to do in these games. Wild pokes and trainers are, for the most part, very under-leveled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild pokes and trainers are, for the most part, very under-leveled. I had a bit of a nightmare training my Growlithe though.. It was lower in level than the wild pokemon in the region that I was trying to train him up in and he kept fainting after every other battle. I felt so bad. The area outside the Safari Zone and purchasing Fire Blast from Goldenrod strengthened him up nicely. Gengar rules! I am going to train my Clefairy up next. These pokemon are incredibly annoying to battle, so it's kind of logical to have them in a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) I keep faltering at the Elite Four. It is most displeasing. Karen's Houndoom is too much for me. Slight bit of progress... After numerous failings I finally managed to get to Lance. But now I'm losing to him. Ampharos can take out his Gyarados, and Sandslash can take one Dragonite out... But it isn't working :'( The moment they start using Outrage/Dragon Rush I'm done for. Edited April 10, 2010 by EEVILMURRAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame with these games how if you have a squad of more than 4 pokemon you're in for some hefty grinding :/ I've stuck to a squad of 4 and am currently getting battered by the E4 second time round. Tempted to grind and EV train my red Gyarados to stand a chance, can't get past will! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2010 I managed to beat the first 3 people fairly easily in the elite 4. Then I got to Karen. Anyway, is there a dragon type available somewhere in Johto that learns some decent moves before level 40? I figure a bug type would be a waste of time (for now), since one of her most powerful Pokemon is part fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to get my 8th badge now, which will be a breeze. I'm not too bothered about the Elite 4, my Arcanine, Golem and Gengar should be able to handle almost all of them. Bruno's team (excluding Onix) and Karen's Umbreon are the only Pokemon that will be a challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 11, 2010 Interesting. I was going off some type chart I had in some guide from years ago. Which appears to be different form the one Serebii has on his site. Although, ice should have no extra effect on dark types. And Psychic is actually bad against dark. I think I might train up a fighting type though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 11, 2010 I'm using a guide too. Here's what it lists as effective move types for the different pokemon: Umbreon: Fighting & Bug Gengar: Psychic, Ghost & Dark Houndoom: Water, Fighting, Ground & Rock Murkrow: Electric, Ice & Rock Vileplume: Fire, Ice, Flying & Psychic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
