Pokemon Platinum - The definitive thread: Mach 2 (In-Game Discussion)

question- Im stuck, i just beated the snowpoint gym leader and im at the galactic HQ but there is no grunt outside, what do i do

EDIT:nvm i got it
 
Was it Route 212 between Heathrome and Pastoria City?
Yes, it was. I was missing a Prinplup, and a couple of the Eevee evolutions (Leafeon and Umbreon, I think). And I couldn't find a damn Wooper, but it was easy enough to see one in Safari Zone.
 
Where exactly is the adamant and lustrous orb? Near Spear pillar? I'm there right now. Or do I have to go in to another entrance of Coronet?

And to get Dialga/Palkia to appear, do I need to catch Heatran?

I have the following criteria already completed and I think I just need the orbs right now:
1. talked to the celestic painting and cynthia talked to me.
2. completed national dex.
3. beat the elite four.
 
The orbs are up past the waterfall. I didn't need to look at the painting, I had to talk to the people in the celestic town elder's house and read the book.
 
Very minor little thing here, but I noticed when I was testing out Togepi's ability, which turned out to be Hustle that Return missed only 3 times out of 28 attempts. (It's supposed to decrease accuracy by 20%, this is about 10%) It might be just dumb luck, but since they messed around with Hypnosis' accuracy they might've touched a couple of things we're not aware of just yet..
 
I think pluto might need to be arrested in order to get Dialga/Palkia.

We still aren't done with d/p testing :/ and now we have to do platinum >.>
 
Shit, I tried to test Fridge Rotom (holding Icy Rock) a little, and got two strange situations:

First, after it took damage from Hail, a strange message appeared. I don't know what it is, but it was after the "Rotom is pelted by Hail" message. And second, Rotom's Thundershock did ~30-50% more damage to my Staraptor than it should do.

The sad part is that both events only happened once ;_; I almost thought Icy Rock gave some nice boost on Sp. Atk to Fridgetom... But I'm gonna test it again >:|
 
Did you talk to the people/read the book? I know that that is what did it for me.

Talk to people/read book? If you mean cynthia's mom/grandma no, and I hadn't seen manaphy/dialga/palkia portaits or anything. I got manaphy's dex entry from trading over from d/p and palkia/dialga i got from the pre-entering torn world.
 
I've started playing Platinum, and I'm noticing that all the Shinx I'm encountering do not have Intimidate. Anyone else noticed this too? Sorry if this is not new news but I'm searching for an Intimidate Shinx and I can't find one.

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally found an Intimidate Shinx. I can't believe it but this was like the 11th or 12th Shinx I encountered. All the other ones had Rivalry. -_-
 
It was the other way around for me, only Intimidate Shinx every where, I had to always switch to my other poke, as I had only Physical attacks(and I did not over level)
