  1. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    Couldn't find a definite post on Smogon about it, but here's the best description. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Acid_Rain
  2. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    No worries. It's one of those forum things, I always feel people are directly attacking me or my posts. Call it an old habit :) As far as OmegaDonut's post goes, if that's true (and I'm glad to be mistaken about it), then I think the RNG is far more fair than I had understood it to be. If all...
  3. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    Well theoretically if you simply timed it correctly and got the pokemon, that would be totally fine in my mind. It's a matter of intent, and degree of machination, that makes it plausible to me. I'm not sure how you call bullshit on an opinion, by the way. I've got no problems with people...
  4. Pokemon Philosophy: Is abusing the RNG cheating?

    This is the part of RNG that I have a problem with. I wouldn't care about flipping pages til the cows come home, but changing the date drastically just for one Pokemon seems disingenuous. My theory is that truly competitive battling should occur in a controlled environment, like it does in...

    Ok this is the way you'll want to do it. You breed a male Togetic/Togekiss who has Wish with a female Clefairy/Clefable. Once you get a male Cleffa with Wish, get it to Clefairy and then breed it with a female Eevee. The Eevee will now have Wish. EDIT: This is of course, as was stated earlier...

    Torkoal father for curse. Chain breed for wish from Togetic to Clefable.

    What is the ranking for auto-weather pokemon? If a wild Snover is encountered by a Hippopotas in my lead position, who's weather wins? Does it depend on level? Speed? Trainer vs. wild? Same question, but with trainer battles (say Elite 4).

    For honey trees in D/P/Pt, if I save before I encounter the pokemon can I soft reset for the rarer pokes, or is the pokemon already determined by the time the tree starts to shake? As in, I can IV soft rest for Combee, but it will always be Combee until I faint/capture it?

    Ok so there's no limit on the amount of 'stuff' you can get, just on the actual cards themselves. I don't have to decide between gifts. Fantastic!

    EDIT: What he said! ^ Question: With the 3 Wonder Card limit, if you delete a Card (say, my Toys R Us Darkrai) do I lose the item/pokemon in question? And are Mystery Gifts like the Secret Key separate? Clarification on this would be great.
  11. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 19 (READ THE OP)

    None, from the current UU list I saw. We're talking Snow Warning/Drizzle/Drought/Sand Stream, yes? EDIT: I'll just list them for ease. Currently I don't see any of them on the UU ladder at all. Snow Warning: Snover Abomasnow Drizzle: Kyogre Drought: Groudon Sand Stream: Tyranitar...

    Has there been a thread or contest/competition with people posting their lowest number of total moves for clearing the E4 in D/P/Pt?

    Ok thanks, those are all pretty easy to nab in my Pearl, and then just shift over. I can't catch the ones that require dongle, but everything else should be easy :) Also, are the Mystery Dungeon or Ranger games worth picking up for any reason?
  14. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 19 (READ THE OP)

    Is there a comprehensive list of pokemon in the Sinnoh dex that you can catch in D/P but not in Platinum? I had to transfer over a Glameow and level it (just once) to get it and Purugly. Are there others?
  15. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 19 (READ THE OP)

    You got me thinking about this, and I've been scouring the net on my lunch break...and I still haven't found anything that would determine when IVs are set. Again, I assume it's like the other runners; that is, the minute you talk to Oak, the IVs are set and you're SOL if they're no good. Let...
  16. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer - mark 19 (READ THE OP)

    I think that's reasonable. I have 4 copies of Gen IV games at this point, so I could theoretically keep wiping my wife's old copy of Diamond to get items over and over. The duping of those same items seems less egregious to me. The plain soft-reset seems the most genuine, RNG is meh (plus it...

    Dr. Eyepatch: So further deduction would say that while ROM saves are looked down upon explicitly, those sort of hacks or slot-2 devices are the norm? Or just sticking to in-game hacks, wifi tricks, etc? I'm just trying to get a hold on the norms of the community :) Would it be more likely that...

    EDIT: Random Pizzaman was totally faster than me, that's the last time I get a glass of scotch mid-post. For any vocabulary pertaining to pokemon teams, I always start here: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/pokemon_dictionary For more introduction on the team...

    From what I've read, it appears the natures/IVs are set once you talk to them the first time. So save before you talk and start to chase. Also, the in and out of town method works well for catching them, that's what I used in D/P. Just constantly to route 203? and back to Jubilife.

    Wow that team checker is quite nice. I've decided to go with Rotom/Togekiss since I have the Secret Key from Toys R Us (Nothing like a grown man asking how to get a mystery gift).
