That's not true about all GAMESTP Celebis being hacked. I worked at Gamestop during distribution, and I still have that Celebi waiting to be picked up (along with shiny Suicune) on my HG cart. I guess Nintendo didn't send my store a different distribution cart, because the ones we gave out have...

"Little kids" can't why Arceus was at the top. I keep hearing this across multiple message boards, but it just can't be true that there are THAT many little kids out there aware of the poll. I dunno how many little kids you guys interact with, but EVERY little kid I've run into that plays...

Those are the rankings as of last Wednesday; the rankings weren't updated this week. Voting ends today but the winner won't be revealed till December 13. Apparently you can still vote till the end of today, I just put in one for Ditto.

Thanks for the guide, SaxMeister13. I'll be putting a Power item on my flawless parent for the problem IV the egg keeps failing to inherit since you've had success with the Power items (others have been suggesting to avoid using them for now). I saw an earlier post of yours where you were...

Yes it would be nice if we could get a little more clarity on breeding, especially in regards to inheritance. I've been trying to breed an Archen for hours now and have NO CLUE what PID frame my eggs are starting on. Whether I hit my Timer0 or not (can tell by the stats that aren't inherited...

You should look for spreads reported on frame 3, the roamer would then be generated on frame 4, you won't have to advance the frame. Here's my observations on RNGing roamers that you may find helpful: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3394469#post3394469 I forgot to mention in...

I do what OmegaDonut said when syncing my DSi. It takes some getting used to, since you're clicking with one hand and "unclicking" with the other. But yes, hitting A is easier. I actually find the DSi to be a little bit better to abuse RNG with, because you can change the date/time and don't...

My RNG nightmare is over! Thundurus Naive 29/31/28/31/30/31 So, I have some tips for anyone going after roamers. RNG at the house on route 7. If you search this thread you'll find many giving this advice. While the roamer can be KO'ed and respawned by fighting the E4, you'll have a VERY...

Ok, so I successfully managed to get a Cobalion with the desired IVs, by choosing a spread on frame 3, thus not requiring any advances. To do the same with roamers I need one on frame 4: 4-3-2+1=0. I saved inside the house on route 7, stepped outside to generate the roamer (Thundurus), and...

I noticed your question about Red Gyarados wasn't answered. I RNG'ed a near-flawless one, here's how I did it: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2672500#post2672500

Actually, I went back again and reread posts by Romsstar and Expert Evan regarding Red Gyarados, and it seems the problem isn't that the spreads aren't always listed on the correct frame (as mentioned on the first page), but that the nature and IV spread might not match up. However, those...

So, after Google searching this site and manually searching hundreds of pages back (the search thread feature on here isn't working), I don't see any updates for the Lake of Rage Red Gyarados. Has anyone been able to successfully catch an RNG'ed Red Gyarados with the desired stats and nature...

Does the radio just not advance frames in the E4? Because after getting the EXPN Card the radio does work in the E4. Or at least it does in Will's room, where I checked. Also, I read some 60 pages of this thread in full, every day since HGSS was released in the US, and dozens of pages prior...

I regret not trying to RNG Raikou in the tower, because it looks like RNGing him after defeating the E4 is going to be a real pain. But, I'm willing to do some research to see if it's even possible. The seed never changes once you enter the game, right? All Pokemon are generated on that seed by...

My favorite solution for IV's and breeding would be one simple tweak to how things are now: make it so none of the random IVs are lower than the lowest corresponding IVs of the parents. So if I have a Pokemon with 21 Def, and one with 31 Def, there's a chance it could inherit the 31 Def just...
