Okay, hello fellows, new european gamer here, and I'm trying to get around to wraping my head around all those concepts I've had to understand those past two days (last poke game I played was Red on the original gameboy so... yeah, seems like things have changed a bit in poketown).
So I had this savegame where I just finished the game but then I read about all those little things that end up making a difference, like IV, nature and EV. So I looked at my jolly Dialga, who had been fighting all kind of random shit because I was too lazy to train something else (it's EVs were probably all over the place) and I was like... "OH NOES MY LEGEND :(". So I restarded a new game and this time I plan to keep all found legendary in a tiny little box until I get myself to training them.
There are a couple of things (actually, a lot more than a couple) that I was longing to ask people here and well, I thought I just might as well do it in this thread rather than do a new one and piss everyone off. So here I go.
1# So I'm trying to wrap my head around this EV thing, but there are things I still don't understand. Like, the EV will start raising from the first battle the pokemon faces from then on ? So any excess point over the limit (510 was it ?) will be discarded, right ? I'm just looking for confirmation on this one. So like, my previously mentionned Dialga was pretty much screwed metagame-wise (well, it had more to do with it being jolly...), am I correct ?
2# I've heard people say you can "Pal park" masterballs to have more than what you normally would've. But how so ? By equiping them on the pokemon you transfer ? Do they still wear it when you capture them ? And even so... wouldn't it just make one more ? I've heard people implying that in Emerald they could have more than one.
3# Where the FUCK are fire, lighting and water stones in this version ? I can't buy any anywhere. I want my fucking Golduck :(
4# That whole honey tree thing... how long am I supposed to wait exactly ? >_> And how do I get more honeys ?
5# This one is a little more complex... see I'm just recently getting interested in the metagame, but like I said, this is basically my first time into a "real" pokemon game. So i'm like in front of this 490+ selection, looking at those hundreds of different moves and I'm like... "Okay, fuck." Basically, I wanted to know... how do you constitute a team exactly ? How do you balance the roles of your pokemons ? I've understood that there are such things as tanks, sponges, sweepers (those that deal damage I think ?), stallers... I can understand how they work individually, but I'm a little lost as to how to put six of them together and to say "This will work." So if anyone can spare some metagame basics on me, I'd be most gratefull.
Well, that was pretty long. Thank you in advance for your time.
