Picked up Pearl this afternoon, no problem. The f.y.e. store (My first stop, since I have a ten percent discount) had plenty of both on display.

Dark types. Umbreon, Houndoom, and Mightyena are my three favourite Pokemon.

If it weren't for the fact that I usually keep one good psychic type around, I'd be crippled by a descent fighting type.

Oh man, I didn't know you could trade with Japanese games.

This will come in handy later.

Also, the Pal Pad you get in Oreburgh City has your friend code, so let's get a move on.

Gains' Codes
-----------
American Pearl (What I'll be playing on): 1976-6631-6640
Japanese Pearl (If you need something in particular. It's got 30 hours into it so who knows what I have on it.): 2620-9082-9011
American Diamond (Don't know code yet.)

I'm mostly powering myself up on things at the moment, trying to find a decent place where I can get attack EVs.

Still trying to find someone who can trade me a Glameow. I've got several stunky available for trade if any pearl players need 'em.

Name: J Chaos
FC: 1590 1141 7742

EDIT: Hell, if you guys want any other Early Game Pokes, I've got several of the more elusive ones. Just ask, maybe I've got it. Nearly everything, except Munchlax and Heracross... And hell, most of the Sweet Honey ones.

Does anyone know of an early fire type I could catch? I just got my pal pad, so that's how early "early" is.
Edit: Early helps but isn't important, I just want to cheese on my rival with a type advantage.

You can catch Ponyta outside of the city with the second Gym. Other than that, there are literally no fire types to be had in the main D/P game except for the flaming ass monkey.

I wanna know who it is at Nintendo that made that decision too... Someone needs to be smacked for it.

Speaking of the Flame Monkey... Gains, I don't suppose you happened to take Chimchar as your starter in your Japanese copy? I'm looking for something that can give a Ponyta Flame Wheel through breeding...

Nope. Pochama all around.

If I get bored and you get something good for me, I might be convinced to play through the first half hour of Diamond again.

Thus far, my rampant trade-whoring has paid off... Still need FEMALE starters, but I've got male versions of all of them.

My breeding shall commence well at this rate.

Imo, there is no point in fucking with any sort of actual battle team until you're well done and over with the game and can level anywhere you want.

Do you (or anyone) know if you can put eggs on the Global Trade System? Heck, in Ruby/Sapphire, I would trade eggs to my nephew/other cart, just so I didn't have to deal with boosted exp. (Eggs don't have trainer IDs - newly hatched babies obviously take the ID of the owner when they hatch)

I haven't seen any eggs on the GTS, but I've seen a couple of female pokemon for breeding. Of course, the demands for them are pretty outstanding...

Hey Gains, you wouldn't happen to have a Munchlax/Snorlax on your Japanese Diamond, would you?
Mr. Gainsborough
posted 04-23-2007 07:24:33 PM
I don't have anything really rare in my JP Pearl. I just have like everything you can catch without trying on normal routes. Maybe one or two rare ones that just happened to be in front of me.

Wasn't really going all out with this on account of me not being able to read moon language.

Check GTS?

Monica got Diamond, I got Pearl... I do not have a Pal Pad yet, which I assume is something I get at a later point. (I haven't played much yet, just got done with talking to the Prof, and told my mommy I was leaving her.) So I dunno what my friend code is.

Am I going to have to wait forever and a fucking day like in the first games to find an Evee, Ponyta, or Vulpix? Just curious. Flareon, Ninetails, and Rapidash were my oldschool fire frontrunners.

Ponyta you find a gazillion of em between gyms 2 and 3, Eevee is an story mon as usual, and Vulpix you can find on Route 209 if you have Leaf Green in your GBA slot.

Thanks on the first two, and awwwww crap on the Vulpix. I haven't had a single Pokemon game since the original Red version on Gameboy...

So does that mean ALL of the old pokemon are off limits unless you have FireRed/LeafGreen? Or is that just the EASIEST way to get them?

I am noob, like I said, first Pokemon game since first gen.

You have to get the National Pokedex before putting a GBA games in the second slot does anything at all, right?

Probably. Fucking everything requires National Dex.

Like 112/150 myself, so w/e. It's not difficult at all, it's just really restrictive while you're actually playing the story.

Honestly, I would rather be overwhelmed by a ton of Pokemon in each area, rather than having like half the game unlocked after completing all the story to only have mindless gathering afterwards.
