Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I just got Diamond today, and spent a long time with my sister (who has Pearl) getting both of us all of the starters, so there should be fun times ahead.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Oh, forgot to mention that my character's name in the game is Dan... real original, right?

And yeah, if your eevee is nicknamed, I don't want it.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I just traded a lv. 51 Lucario for a Japanese lv. 100 Dialga!(on the GTS) Personally, I was surprised.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Tofu just put up a baby Eevee online, asking for Dialga just to see what would happen.

She got it.

Not only that, it had ACTIVE POKERUS!

I'm near 100% certain they just duplicate Pokemon now.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I'm looking for a Growlithe and a Dratini (both lower than lvl 15). Anyone got these? Are you willing to just give them to me? (trade a newb pokemon for em.)

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I got Pearl, but I can't figure out how to get that loser elite four guy out of the way of the gym. Any help?

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

hmm... its been awhile since i played pok'emon. :\ But i still agree that it is a good game. I unfortunally do not have a nintindo DS so i cannot play it. Ill probly check it out later thou when its cheaper. :P

(this is were ppl reply saying: cheap bastard.) :P

But yea, it was a good game and from the previews i seen on TV, it still looks good. :-)

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Engler, is that the 3rd gym or something where the leader is not there? If so, she won't be back for a while. Just move on. If it's something else... dunno, haven't gotten there yet.

Sorry ObserveR, I don't have either of those.

I have a bunch of extra male "Combee"s (from sweet honey trees) if anyone wants one. Only the female evolves, but it's still good for a pokedex entry (or breeding if you have a Ditto).

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

8th Gym, Doesn't matter, I figured it out anyway. And I think Nintendo could have put more work into the differences between male and female. I've seen maybe 20 species where I could tell a difference.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

n e 1 got a ditto? i need it for breeding my Jap turtwig! ; ; buh i have a question. is there another pokemon u can breed a turtwig with 2 make another turtwig?

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

You can breed a Pokemon with a number of other Pokemon that are similar to it, but the child will always be the same breed as the mother. If your Turtwig is male, you do need a Ditto to get more.

Also keep in mind that if your Japanese Turtwig was not nicknamed by the original trainer (its name would be ナエトル), then its name will change to English if you let it evolve.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Alright, so I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this:

I Just got the third gym badge (Veristone City) and my team is pretty much all at about lvl 30 (I use four pokemon at the moment.)

I Still have to do the warehouse, get fly, find the next city with a gym (pastoria I'm guessing), then kill all the trainers on the way there, the trainers in the gym AND the gym leader, and NONE OF MY POKEMON will obey me anymore. WTF is up with that? I remember this being a SLIGHT problem in the other games (maybe a pokemon or two not obeying sometimes right at the 4th gym leader), because it's the 4th badge that allows pokemon up to lvl 50 to obey you, but still, this is ridiculous.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Do you overtrain your Pokemon or something? I like to be a minimalist in Blue/Red especially and use like two/three Pokemon for the entire game, and I've never had a problem with their levels being too high for them to obey. I've never even come close.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

Recently got back into the Pokemon craze. Finished Fire Red then Pearl, it's basically the same game with slightly updated graphics and more uglier pogeys.

I used to be the same way.. only trained one or two pokemon to just get through the game. But then Jamuko showed me that it was fun to train your team evenly, even though it's a pain in the beginning >.>

She already posted my friend code :D Err.. yea.. so if anyone wants to battle or trade just lemme know. I have two boxes of eevees, they are nicknamed but I can rename them easily. I've never tried to play competitively before, I'd like to be able to learn by practicing if it's okay. Even though I'm a total noob at it...

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I never knew anyone only kept two or three pokemon on their team...

I mean, I always started with grass (not in Pearl, though. Pingu ftw) and then caught a few of the level 3 guys outside the first town. I had 6 pokemon long before the first gym.

I guess it would make sense to only keep two or three really strong ones so as to level them much faster, but then they'd have to be really good to ensure you're covering all of the weakness/strength bases.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

ToshX, I use the same tactic as you!
It has always worked for me also... =)

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

I've never had 6 pokemon still after the 4th gym in each game. Takes too long earlier, since there just seem to be too little trainers to me. I've never had that disobeying problem either.

Re: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
 

meh, The pokemon I usually want on my team aren't ones you find early in the game (this was the case for all the games). I have 7 badges in Ruby, and have still yet to pick my 6th team member.

I have 4 pokemon in this game now, 1 of which I'm getting rid of pretty soon (Turtwig). I've yet to come across any water or dragon type, (that's what I'm missing.) I'm also curious about WHEN you get an eevee in this series. It's usually when you're around lvl 15 - 30, so I'm expecting to find one soon.

You DO get one in this game, right?
