  1. Accessing the Pokemon Global Link Website for Dream World

    It's the same site; it'll shunt you over to en.pokemon-gl.com, but you can get to it with the link the OP posted.
  2. Accessing the Pokemon Global Link Website for Dream World

    OK, so this is a different question... How exactly does one get your friends from your pal pad to become "dream pals?" Everything I can see on Bulbapedia & Serebii says that you just have to have them in your pal pad & do one Wi-Fi "encounter" (we've gone to the Wi-Fi link and done a trade)...
  3. The In-Game Mono-Type Team Challenge

    This is a fascinating and fun idea for playing the game. I'd thought to myself that a Dark run in Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald would be a great idea, and this thread proves it. Ghost one might be interesting, too, but you'd be limited to the only six guys available, really, and Sidney & Phoebe in...
  4. What do you miss most from the Gen. I era?

    I wasn't a kid when I started playing Red / Blue / Yellow, so I don't have these nostalgic memories of "everybody playing it." I do, however, think that the game was in some ways better than the current gen. Yeah, the Pokemon roster wasn't quite as balanced, the starters weren't equally useful...
  5. Are unorthodox items viable?

    Then perhaps the Smogon strategydex on items should be re-worded; that's kind of what it sounded like.
  6. Are unorthodox items viable?

    This is just a question here...a thought: With the elemental plates, one of the supposed effects of these is the fact that dual-type Pokemon will become single-typed (to the type of the plate), if already of the plate's type. Is there any scenario where a dual-type Pokemon could either remove a...
  7. Mew and Enigma Crystal Distribution Announced

    Just as a note for people wondering about that old Gamestop Deoxys promo: I believe there is a ROM floating around that, once transferred to an R4 device, will broadcast the Deoxys promo to other cartridges in the area. The date on both Nintendo DSes will need to match the dates when that promo...
  8. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    We're still talking about two different things, to some degree. I'm not saying that they deny registration to people on the online registration based on any data; this would be odd (but not unthinkable these days - remember when Sprint told a bunch of people they didn't want their business any...
  9. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    It will not help tournaments, from your perspective. It will help Nintendo make more money through promo lift and customer retention. I'm trying to point out that, if someone were to do complex database analytics to determine how many tournament locations there should be and where they should...
  10. Pokemon VGC 2010 DATES / rules announced for the US!

    What you may be talking about is Location Analysis: http://www.spss.com/vertical_markets/retail/location_analysis.htm The same methods that are used to determine where stores should be located can be used to determine where events can / should be held. Ideally, registrants' information would...
  11. Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver - The Offical In-Game Discussion Thread

    I'm surprised nobody's talking more about the pedometer-device that can link up with the game. That old infrared pedometer that linked up with GSC (along with the old 'mystery gift' function) was just about the only way to get evolution stones in the old games...that, and mystery-gifting with...
  12. TPCI Announces Pokemon Leagues to have prize support for Video game players!

    I'd be far more interested in this if the prize was, say, a promo Pokemon (Mew, Celebi, etc.) or something where they gave out a common Pokemon with a move it doesn't normally learn. DS skins? Meh. I already have a classic NES skin on my DS.
  13. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer. (RoA Version + resource links)

    Question about the breeding guide I'm not sure if this belongs here in this thread, or in the DP section...but I have been starting out on some of the processes put forth in Smogon's breeding guide to get Dittos with flawless IVs in various stats. The guide posits a process that goes something...
  14. In Game Tiers, Platinum Edition!!

    Just another note on Houndour: if you catch a female, you can potentially breed it with a Shinx who gets Thunder Fang instead of expending a heart scale, just as a possibility. I'm using a Houndour in my Platinum run-through and it's pretty darn useful - especially with being able to take down...
  15. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    Yes, hence calling the random "true." But there are ways to make a random-number-generator indecipherable to its users, which makes it seem much more random. The casino machines were doing something along the lines of using one RNG to provide the seed for a second RNG, or something along those...
