Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver Launch in Europe Tomorrow!!1!

CianRyan

It could take time to load them up, I guess.
I've noticed it doesn't click like a normal pedometer, is it the same for all of them or is mine dodgy?

Kersmash

Mines the same. Makes no noise when I shake it. If I shake it in my hand it doesn't count steps either.

CianRyan

Well, it's been working today, 6391 and counting.

Kersmash

11493 Although I'm sure that's wildly inaccurate.

CianRyan

Just caught HO-OH!!
First try and all.

What's the story with Lugia? Do I get to catch him now, or do I ask?

Edit: Serebii told me.

Atavan-Halen

I cheated with Lugia....sort of. Got him asleep and at about 1hp and 35 ultra balls later, no joy. Repeat this several times and I was annoyed. I just master balled him, but traded over my other master balls from other games so I still have some for the 3 legendaries and Ho-Oh later on

Kersmash

I actually caught Lugia really easily. Just got his health down to the red and flaked an aul heavy ball at him. Got him first try!

CianRyan

The Idea of starting games again just to get Master Balls to catch the legendaries... Nah, it would take too long. hahaha

Atavan-Halen

Haha, nah I didn't start the games again, I just never had to use master balls before, ever!

CianRyan

That's dedication, Master Balls are just so handy though!

I do like the mad sweaty stressful battles trying to catch a legendary. It took me about 50 tries to catch Heatran.
Dusk balls, Ultra balls and Time balls... So many of them.

Atavan-Halen

Same when I caught Regigias. Was one of the intensest Pokémon expericences I had :P Finally got him with a dusk ball, 'Tis an awesome feeling when you finally get that 'mon though

CianRyan

In Victory Road, just ran out of repels... Kill me!!!:(

Banjo

Using repels on Victory Road turns it into the Highway of Shame! Man up, son.

Star Lord

TBH, if you don't make it through Victory Road without Repels, then you're not really ready for the Elite 4 + Champion...

Kersmash

I never use repels, except for caves or an area of Pokémon that are a lot lower level than my 'mon. Every bitta Exp. helps!

Star Lord

They're handy for chaining in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.
And as you said, for backtracking when the wild Pokémon are at a much lower level.

Banjo

They're also useful for trying to get that elusive Lucky Egg from a Chansey in D/P. Very useful

CianRyan

Bahh, say what you will. I'm more than ready for the League, I just can not stand taking two steps and being stopped by a ****ing Golbat!!
The extra hour it takes when you don't use repels just makes me soooo stressed and actually makes me feel ill.
****ING ZUBATS AND GOLBATS!! **** OFF!!!!:mad:

Fair play. I hate grinding. I only do it near a gym.

I find it bad i never heard of the pokemon Heatran...there's way too many...

After looking him up...I did lose interest in Pearl though before even doing the League...(and never got around to Diamon/Platnium obviously)

I need motivation

Only in eructeak city now...

Balasubbie

Never heard of Heatran either 'til I was two seconds away from encountering
it. It took five minutes to catch, which I should be grateful for I guess. Took
me four months of fluctuating dedication to catch Moltres in Platinum.

Jazzkamiden

Oh my, it's been a while guys!
Anyway, Lance is hard. Like, Dragonite lvl 50 hard.

Korosu

I didn't have trouble with him the 1st time, the 2nd time around though, was a different story, he surprised me with buffed dragons lol

ghostchant

2nd time round was a real war of attrition..though when he was down to his final 'mon he was nice enough to use perish song..just switched pokemon and relaxed as he got counted down..smart move Lance

Seems Winners Path will be available for download from tomorrow in the USA, have to keep an eye out if it will be available here too (think so as Yellow Forest was).

Atavan-Halen

Seems it's available everywhere else too according to Serebii

I'm pretty sure I lost mine too ...thought I put it somewhere safe, can't find it since ... and they're selling on ebay for like more than half of the game itself :O

Kersmash

Ridiculous! Wish I could find mine. Alcohol and Pokéwalkers don't mix!
