I found this thread on Pojo's Pokemon forums very informative regarding Pokesav.

After reading this thread (or at least whatever you feel is necessary), you should be able to manage Pokesav perfectly fine.

Okay,

Is there a exact release date known for Platinum in English?

 

[Chill]

No.

Not yet, but it is expected around March or April 2009.

Besides the union room, is there any way to have a 4 person battle? It doesn't have to be Wifi, just Local Wireless, but I was wondering if there was any way to do it besides having only one pokemon per person, and the level 30 cap.

Do the trap effects of wrap/whirlpool/fire spin/whatever go on if the user baton passes?

Nope.

Is the U-Turn -> Choice Item U-turn glitch only in PBR, or is it on DPPt as well?

To be more specific, this is when a pokemon uses U-turn, and switches into a pokemon that ALSO knows U-turn and is holding a choice item. The new pokemon's choice item locks onto U-turn, even though the new pokemon has NOT used it yet.

I'm not sure about Platinum, but I recall hearing that it was in DP.

Is Skymin usable on Wi-Fi in any way in Pt.?

This is definitely in Shoddy, and I think they put it in like this because that is what happens in DP, no?

I'd be interested to see if they fixed this in Platinum.


Also, has anyone tried battling Platinum vs D/P, and seeing which Hypnosis acc. takes place?

 

[garo]

its proved that in DP the poke switching in with choice "x" and u-turn its locked in u-turn if the switching out poke used u-turn, and i think that that isnt a glitch its something about the game mechanics, youre switching and attacking in the same turn so maybe its logic and fair that the incoming poke gets locked into u-turn if he has it in his moveset.

What is the standard set/EV spread for Sword Dance Bullet Punch Scizor?

 

[Imran]

What is the standard set/EV spread for Sword Dance Bullet Punch Scizor?

Mine looked like this:

Scizor @ Life Orb
Adamant Nature / Technician
EVs: 252 Att / 252 HP / 4 Speed
~ Swords Dance
~ Bullet Punch
~ X-Scizzor
~ Brick Break / Super Power

Obviously if you want to be outspeeding something specific you can change that. Brick Break will help with Dual Screen and you wont get the attack drop. Super Power will hit Heatran harder on the switch in.

The ability Pressure doesn't affect Recover? At least it didn't when my Milotic was facing a Dusknoir.

EDIT: Another question, how do I record battles with the Battle Recorder? I don't see any option that allows me to do so.

 

[Olie]

I believe pressure only affects moves that affect the oppopnent in any way (SR, Leech Seed), but not recover since it only affects the user.

A few questions about laddering

Do you get more points if you 6-0 someone instead of like 3-0?
If your opponent leaves in the beginning does that count as a 6-0?

any help is appreciated

No, Mien, it makes no difference whatsoever. The only thing that is taken into account when calculating points received is your opponent's rating in relation to your own.

When making a Shoddy team, do players use 31s for IVs if they don't have the Pokémon in DP?

 

[gorm]
