Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

Magnet Rise Heatran: The things wrong with this image cannot be understated. In one turn, water and fighting weak only, resisting just about everything else with 3 immunities.

You just jynxed us.
 
Are you absolutely sure you have to have a Movie Shaymin to get the flower? I unintentionally traded over a badly Pokesav'd Shaymin with "?????" as the OT and she still gave me the flower. So if it is the movie Shaymin, the game doesn't rely on the OT to check, at least.

Well, I've had this theory that all the game does is check to see the RIBBON that the pokemon has. So if your Shaymin has the ribbon, then, according to my theory, it would change form.

Same with the Regigias which no one has found where the Regis where.
 
Coronis tried to get the Flower using the Sheimi from the Flower Palace [remember the bug from the Japanese version of DP? That one] and it didn't work, so yeah.

And I hope Bibarel gets the Elemental Punches. I want to use a Cursebarel. ;w;
 
Looking for the ribbon seems entirely likely, then.

And does anyone have a link to all the information on the tutors? Like where they are, how you use them, etc.?

And that's part of the logic i based by theory off of

Unaware Bibarel Counters curse Bibarel :p

There have been rumours of what the tutors are, but I'm holding off on posting info till either Serebii or PokeBeach do
 
It was already proven to be compatible with D/P. It wasn't like GF would purposely cut off Platinum from the D/P series, thus prevent players to trading their IV'd bred Pokemon to it. I'm more complaining about the weird ass mechanic used for Origintina and Skymin. The only mechanic that make sense is probably the turning back to normal when night fall since some flowers actually do that.

I meant compatible in the sense that you could use those forms. People will stop debating it now that it has been proven you cannot use them.
 
Well after you recieve the Glacidea Flower with a Movie Shamin, can you use it on non-movie Shaymin? Or are all non-Movies incapable of changing and destined to be Bushes forever?

I hope a lot of people's SRs dont go to waste :|
 
I don't think any of the tutor moves have been used have they? I haven't reached them (in veilstone), very little (maybe none) people have met the requirements to go to the battle frontier. The head of PB is the only person I know whose beaten the E4, and he made no mention of using the tutors yet.

Ah, I thought people were just figuring this out by hacking up the ROM.

I would have gotten further than the second gym yesterday, but seeing as how I've never actually played D/P all the way through (downloaded someone's completed save and changed the OT so I could breed/battle), it's like a new experience to me. So I guess I just got stuck in the whole mentality of exploring and "gotta catch 'em all!"

Has it been proven for sure? Have we actually tested a Platinum vs Platinum Battle?

I'm also still wondering if this is NIntendo not updating the server yet
 
I think it could be nintendo not updating the server. The worst part of sky shaymin not being useable on wifi is it not giving land shaymin any good moves. Defense shaymins were dying to get roost ='[
 
I guess we'll find out for sure tomorrow. But wouldn't Nintendo update "servers" at least a while before the intended release? It seems kind of close to change "server" recognition of Pokemon the day it comes out...
 
The moment I set foot in the union room, my Skymin reverted to hedgehog Shaymin, for what it's worth.

And you'd think their "servers" would be just fine, considering we saw the picture of Skymin vs. Empoleon.
 
I'm in Eterna city and cynthia is not allowing me to go to the bike shop...what should i do after releasing the shop owner from galactic HQ?
 
i dont think Nintendo would make Origin Giratina and Sky Shaymin ingame only pokemon there has to be something missing for them to work on wifi, we should find soon i hope.

What if the same item you download for Rotom's forms affect Skymin and Origintina's online capabilities?
 
Hidden Power guy will be mostly worthless unless he gives you an idea about its power as well. Kecleon typing ftw.

LGY - Honestly...who cares?

Especially if we get the ability to put some former emerald only exclusives on D/P pokemon. I'm thinking punches on Lucario and Croagunk.

If swampert gets ice punch I won't be bummed that I already bred an Emerald one. I think it's safe to say that by this time tomorrow we'll know all about potential tutor moves. I'm sure there are people who are just up all night playing.

Apparently not just me. :D

The last thing we need is every Emerald tutor showing its face in Platinum :( Those damn punches are enough as it is I think.

Shit. We lost the Punches? Darn it to hell. No fucking reason to breed any of the Punch related Pokemon then. -___- Thanks a bunch Gamefreak.

What about if you enter the Club Colosseum (against another Platinum game) instead of the Union Room? Does it still revert?
 
I just recently got Platinum Emu and now against the rival. lol@his animation..but not bad XD.
EDIT: His Chimchar uses Leer a lot..
